  1. Do some internet searches and you'll find some products that use tree sap in the finish. There are also some recipes for making a wood finish using tree sap but it seems like an awful lot to go through. It sounds like it could be fun to try but not at this time for me.
  2. You may have answered your own question. If you are happy with the foam sponges keep using them. No harm in trying other methods. Even the professionals will disagree at times.
  3. Well Jes, people have come up with various ways to describe the amount of pressure they use for different tasks. The truth is, even if there were measurements, not everyone would agree that it is correct. I may push hard on the blade and someone may be using the same pressure and say they are hardly pushing on the blade. It all comes down to what you feel comfortable with. And, that may change as you get more familiar with the way you like to cut. The same goes for sanding and probably everything else. Don't get hung up on it or you'll go crazy. Just cut and enjoy. And, like the late Carter Johnson always said, "just have phun".
  4. Welcome to The Village Lew!
  5. Yes sir, you are correct.
  6. Thumb nail works. You can also pull it across the edge of paper. It will catch more in one direction than the other.
  7. More great bracelets! The first would be my favorite. I gotta try them soon.
  8. I'm glad things are improving. Keep the faith and you'll soon be dancing in the shop. No need to rush it though.
  9. Fantastic! I love the font. And the fuzzy monkeys are cute.
  10. Looks good. My wife watched them but I couldn't get interested.
  11. I've always drawn my own when creating these puzzles. It's much easier than trying to manipulate a font. Give it a try.
  12. Great trivet! I'll put the bug in your wife's ear that it would make a great clock too. You'll be making another one soon.
  13. Nice clean lines and looks great! Good job!
  14. I used the spindle sander a lot when I did intarsia. I use it on wooden vehicles to remove saw marks. Other than that it takes up space. It sounds to me like you should replace your 1" sander with another one. Why not build a small bench to keep one on and the other stored underneath?
  15. Good luck with the sales! I sure hope it's an I door event. Lol
  16. I like them. You did a nice job selecting the wood.
  17. Nolan Ryan and Robin Venture. 1993?
  18. Sweet! Now you know when it's tee time.
  19. Gotta be a joke. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZCLMPK/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_2_w
  20. Nice work as usual. You did a nice job on the colors too.
  21. I like the anchors and the snow.
  22. Ray, a simple search of the site shows 66 Hegner owners. You can tailor the search to be more specific with dates and such. I hope the link works. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/search/?type=core_members&group[4]=1&group[18]=1&group[3]=1&group[13]=1&group[6]=1&group[17]=1&group[11]=1&group[12]=1&group[16]=1&core_pfield_11=Hegner
  23. Nice cutting! One of my favorite shows too.
  24. Hearing protection - only when compressor is running and when using the thickness planer. Of, and when Wendy gets too chatty. Respirator - for scrolling, sanding and sometimes when on the bandsaw. Eye protection - with table saw and lathe. Gloves - when doing finishing work.
