  1. RIP friend.
  2. Yes, I love the colors too. It makes it pop and more three dimensional.
  3. About 2 months ago I paid almost $9 for one 2x4 by 8 feet. I checked yesterday and the price was down to $3.64. Plywood seems a little better too.
  4. It was his left ear. If the above illustration was a self portrait, that would be correct.
  5. Nice. Looks like it was before he removed his ear.
  6. Me 7 and me 2. Neither are available.
  7. I tried a fence many years ago with marginal results. I prefer to drive the straight line without a fence.
  8. Welcome from Ohio!
  9. Welcome back Chris!
  10. Never too much dust collection.
  11. Just remember... You get what you pay for. It's only $10 cheaper than Onieda so check the specs to see which is the better deal. Also, Dewalt makes one that sells for $42 that may be made in China.
  12. If you are on Facebook you can message the guy selling the one that kmmcrafts mentioned. Ask if he has the manual for it and if he would be willing to sell it to you. Worth a shot.
  13. You could try contacting Rick Hutcherson. He has a collection of scroll saws from vintage to modern. Also, check under the lever for a bolt or screw. It seems I've seen things made to lift the lever, adjust a screw, the close the lever. Good luck! Aren't older tools with no manuals fun?
  14. Nice work Bob! I have several patterns from Vker Arnold but have yet to made one. You have inspired me to rethink priorities.
  15. Welcome from Ohio!
  16. Welcome from Ohio!
  17. I agree with @WayneMahler, then sand the hell out of it.
  18. Welcome to The Village Chris! From another Ohion.
  19. First... Beautiful piece! My attempt to answer your question. Ever cut you make you lose a small amount of wood due to the thickness of the blade. It sounds like your work was cut from one piece of wood as segmentation. When you piece them all together you can lose a lot from the kerf. In intarsia, the pieces are mostly cut individually to the exact size or very slightly larger, then sanded to fit perfectly. My experience with intarsia is to cut a few pieces the fit them together. Then cut an adjacent piece and sand to fit. Then keep repeating. In my little brain it makes sense, I hope it makes sense to you.
  20. I too see nothing wrong. Great choice of wood!
  21. No hearing aids but I have IsoTunes ear buds. 87dB noise reduction. They work great for me. I use noisy equipment at work and these do great.
  22. Welcome to The Village!
  23. Welcome to The Village! Looks like the others have already found an answer for you.
  24. I always wondered what when on inside one of those music boxes. Now I know. Thanks. That is cool.
  25. Poplar is what I use. It's strong, stable and cuts very well.
