  1. Very nice!
  2. Welcome to The Village! You will find lots of neat things here. I (WB8UBR), too, am into (learning) ham radio. I have nowhere near the experience that you have (saw your QRZ page).

    G'day all

    Welcome to The Village!
  4. I have both types. I drill pilot holes for both types.
  5. Also, most smaller saws have smaller tables. You could lack support for your work piece.
  6. Hi David. Your 14" saw should be able to handle about 28" measured corner to corner. You may have to use a few additional blade entry holes to finish some cuts. If you use spiral blades you should be able to cut 28" with no troubles.
  7. Well ome to The Village. I've cut several of charles' patterns and used a flat blade for 95% of the cuts. I only use spirals for the parts that I can't get to with flat blades.
  8. I actually think this is a legitimate complaint and I believe Delta will address it. Hopefully sooner than later. As for why people keep buying them, if you look at the reviews online, most have 4.0 to 4.5 stars. Home Depot 4.5, Lowes 4.2 - 4.2, Menards 4.5, Wood Magazine 4.0. One site suggests it is a good saw for the price even though they address the issue of the knocking. I don't knock people for buying it (as it appears to be an easy fix) but I do think they should provide negative feedback as most companies will review these. If they continue to get 3, 4, and 5 stars, the company will continue to sell them as is.
  9. I've made a lot of refrigerator magnets from scrap wood. You could cut numbers and letters for kids to play with or seasonal designs like snowflakes, cars, sports themes, etc. I use neodymium magnets recessed into the wood. My grandkids liked to used the magnets on the table with one under the table and kind of drive them around. I even made a track on the table for them to navigate through. Oh, and Merry Christmas Jes!
  10. Awesome. Very professional looking.
  11. That's why you're Amazing. You've probably made more projects than you have posts. Way to go!
  12. Another beautiful piece! The colors are outstanding.
  13. I add backers to most projects with words cut out.

  15. You're off to a great start. JGR's raccoon was my second intarsia project. I made two of them.
  16. I'd brag on him. Great job on the buck and the frame!

    Hello all

    Welcome to The Village follow buckeye! Please share photos of your work. We all learn from from everyone's creativity.
  18. Very nice. The bee's honeycomb would make a great trivet.
  19. It is made for metal tables. It dries fast and leaves no residue. Never had an issue.

    Nice work! How big is it?
  21. Looks like it'll work. I used Teflon spray about 5 years ago and it's still pretty slick.
  22. Not sure what you mean by stuck. Can you explain?
  23. The chuck on my drill press closes to hold the smallest drill bit (#64) that I typically use. No pin vise needed. As for a chart for drill sizes, I match the drill size to the blade dimension. Not all #3 blades have the same dimension across manufacturers.

    I bet it looks great, I just don't see it. Forget something?
