Welcome to The Village Paul! You have chosen a great saw to get you going. Please visit often and share some pictures of you work. Where in Alaska are you?
Awesome work! I've seen a lot of portraits with a lot of details in the face and it didn't look well. You sir, have the perfect amount of detail. Well done!
Thanks for posting this Paul. I use a sanding mop on my puzzles. I've always used it on the drill press. Been thinking g of switching to the lathe for some time. After reading your post I put it on the lathe. For some reason it seems easier to hold the pieces and the lighting is much better.
