  1. Found this...https://komakesthings.wordpress.com/2020/02/02/craft-cogsworth-beauty-and-the-beast/
  2. Mine showed up Thursday and I installed it Saturday. Only took about 20 minutes.
  3. Looks good and clean. I love the compound cut ornaments.
  4. Both look good but I vote for painted.
  5. General Finishes makes a water-based dye stain in Empire Red which may have the effect you are looking for. It's easy to use, dries fast, and will allow the grain to show through with no bright color. https://generalfinishes.com/wood-finishes-retail/water-based-wood-stains-and-dye-stains/water-based-wood-stain
  6. The Christmas tree ribbon is really neat. Are they laminated woods?
  7. Agree. Everything in life is a gamble so we each have to choose the risks. I used mine twice since the recall and I'll use it again as soon as my bum arm heals.
  8. My replacement parts have been on order for about 1 1/2 months. Maybe it will arrive soon.
  9. Perfect likeness.
  10. Welcome to the Village Charles. I have zero experience with either of those saws but I'm sure some others will be able to helps. Cheers!
  11. A lot of cool stuff.
  12. Looks like both came out fantastic. I really like the first one. Keep at it and you'll get more comfortable, then start something a little more challenging. Cheers!
  13. Amazing job with the paint. You just keep rocking on young man!
  14. Made for my nephew many moons ago.
  15. Nice, clean and bright colors. I like it.
  16. I've never done this pattern but I have to agree with Paul, stack cut all you can. Set a lot of small goals and before you know it, it'll be complete. Cheers!
  17. I'd go with the packing tape. I've had the same issue with plexiglass and I could use a number 3 blade with absolutely no melting. I know corian is different but it's worth a try.
  18. Awesome job with a legend!
  19. Never used on bowls. I love your selection of wood.
  20. Welcome from Ohio. Nice work and hope to see more.
  21. I start with either 60 or 80 grit.
  22. Planers are for removing wood to reduce the thickness. Sanders are for removing tool marks from the wood. My Dewalt planer will remove a maximum of 0.125" of material. My Grizzly sander will remove a maximum of 0.006" To remove 1/8" with the planer it will take 1 pass. To remove 1/8" with the sander it will take about 21 passes. The sanding belts also have to be cleaned frequently to prevent the wood from overheating and provide a smoother surface.
  23. Spiral blade. I used 1/2" plywood with a 1/4" backer. Next one will have a 1/2" backer.
  24. I made this many years ago. The pattern was from Scrolleronline (I think). It was damaged a few years ago and I hope to make another one this fall/winter.
  25. Sweet! The girls will love them.
