    Just about all points were touched in why wood jumps when cutting. Too slow of speed, to hard on pushing especially tight corners, blade type and choice, thickness of material. One other possible cause because you do not mention the saw is too aggressive setting of cutting action. Maybe the saw can be adjusted and maybe not. The old 2 speed dremels were a culprit of this.

    All things I have seen mentioned are things anyone can add themselves. The vendors start doing all these things the price is going up. You can do them much cheaper. There are so many saws out there that it would be impossible to find one that does not fit your needs. Just have to have the money for the upper commercial models. The vac system is probably the one item that all saws should have built in but would take some engineering to make complete and useful and not to intrude with cutting. Tough to do because you need both top and bottom vac to be efficient.

    None I am happy with my RBI saws they way they are. Best saw on the market in my opinion.
  4. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    That looks good. I was looking for other color ideas instead of all one color. Gives me a few ideas now. Thanks for showing.

    Is that a pattern that is available somewhere?? That came out well. Thinking I would like to do that.

    There was another version out there that I tried to get a copy of but never did. I may have to open that topic up again if I can find the photo. It is actually pretty cool and I believe it too was a Steve Good plan.

    I would design something that you can saw head on. It will be tough on your neck and back if you scroll to the side. The RBI stand is a nice starting point. Good luck.

    Like me Kevin I never took photos of many things I made over the years until I started posting to forums when I got a computer. I use to take photos to make a album and used that to show clients. Lot different today. If I had to show some 800 + items I would shoot myself. I dig them out when things come up and may warrant a shot to show them. Yes customizing things make them more yours too so I like that and that is why I do it. That is why many times I will ask for a pattern here but my thoughts are to add or subtract things so it is not exactly what I asked for. I can improvise a few things but drawing things is not a thing I do well.

    When I first started I would spray paint the blade end a different color and kept a chart. Long abandoned that now it is knowledge if i am not sure I will not use it on a delicate piece and save for something random and not critical But you learn real quick to keep better care of the second thing that is important in this hobby and that is the blades after the saw.
  10. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Well Kevin I hope you do not take this the wrong way but must say this is one of your more creative ideas. It fits the theme and takes the pattern a step up. I always believe when you do things like this it shows your creative side and people do zone in on that. It makes this project complete as opposed to just the rack with the clock. I would like to see you do this kind of stuff more often. Open up and get creative. You obviously have the talent. Now you will probably say that it takes more time. Yes but that same clock would only sell for half that price without the table. You can justify a larger asking price when details like that are added to a basic clock pattern. Just a thought.
  11. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I have this type pattern done by someone else but would have to look it up as to who it may be. That is nice too. Now I see the rack and am guessing you added the table as your own design Kevin??

    I have it happen too on occasion. I use painters tape and spray on adhesive. I have a tape dispenser next to the saw ans will use some scoth tape when it happens. Not to panic just stop and tape.

    It is a tool that will help improve the quality of air in the shop if you turn it on over time. It is not a cure all. Collecting dust at the source is the main way to start in the quest for a clean shop and good health. Using a dust mask all the time in the shop is next especially if you are running dust making tools. Then there are these air cleaners that circulate the air and collect the fine particles that you do not see. Believe me you will see dust collected on the filters especially the low micron one. I have a large dust collector and air cleaner and there still dust through out the shop. Will never capture all dust but I do wear a dust mask and shop clothes that I remove when done so that I do not spread all around the house. Shops are made to be dusty. It shows you are working in there.
  14. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Your lungs are cleaner.
  15. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Lets look at it this way. Where are your box fans located?? Where is the air cleaner located?? That is to begin with. If your box fans are close to the saw you will capture more than the aircleaner because I assume it is mounted on the ceiling. The air cleaner will capture the dust that floats in the air that you barely can see. The dust around the saw is much larger particles. An aircleaner will never capture dust like that. With that said you will be surprised how much it does trap. When you say your shop is dusty what does that mean. Are you using other tools like a sander because again an air cleaner will not capture that large amount of dirt right away. You are expecting to much. For large dust collecting you need a vac system of some sort weather a dust collector or shop vac.

    I will be honest that to me is a very easy pattern and as far as starting I would start with hollys and end with letters. I use 1/2" to 5/8" red oak for just about all my projects. I use a #5 Penguin silver reverse FD blade for just about all my cuts no matter how thin the lettering is. I would stay far away from spiral blades unless you practice with them and know what they feel like. They are a different bird for sure. Not in my repertoire though. Good luck
  17. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    They came out well. Nice job.
  18. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Have to agree with everyone else. Charity auctions or even church auctions would be glad to have your work. It is a win win if you are not strapped for cash from the materials. I still do a few craft shows that is how I get rid of some stuff plus the chariety thing. I now make things that are new and challenging. Always an avenue to pass on the projects so keep at it.
  19. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I like these alot. Gives me an idea. I plan on doing some of air balloons using a turning method on my lathe but I like the basket which I may use. Thanks or showing.
  20. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I have it. I bought the pattern. Thanks.
  21. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Thanks. That is basically what I do now too. I have an idea but always open for any other idea that may work. Thanks again.
  22. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I have a question for you Iggy. How is your step stand made?? Is it a knock down version?? Do you have any seperate photos of it?? This is what I want to incorporate next year in my display. I am looking for ideas on methods. Thanks.
  23. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Don't they have to ask for permission??? You are famous here and that is what counts.

    Many ways of doing this and not sure how Kevin does it being this is his thread. But will give you some ideas. People will hot glue the edges of the boards together on all 4 edges. Some people will use double sided tape. And my favorite is to tape all sides with blue painters tape and then I take a blank sheet of paper the size of my blanks and spray adhesive on both sides of the paper and sandwich that between layers. The advantage of this is that no matter how I cut the piece out it is stuck to the one underneath it. There are times if you do not do this, as you are cutting and turning the piece they move around within the kerf of the cuts and if you happen to move them there will be some imperfections in them. Just an opinion. By the way welcome to the site.
  25. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Well the photos are up and to me exactness is not a priority for a project like this. But again not knowing your tool range and your abilities it is hard to suggest the best way to do this. So I will say this to keep the shape all the same it would be best to make a a whole unit and then slice the layers off using a bandsaw.. Jim gave you a good pattern. You drill the hole through the entire piece at once. If you had a drum sander you can take the pieces and tape to a carrier board and sand them all flat together. Flip over and do other side. Or start out with a flat board and individually cut the pattern Jim provided for each layer and drill using a brad point bit dead center on pattern.
