    Neat pattern. Good job on cutting and assembling.

    Great info Bill! Thanks for sharing.

    Great idea.

    Blades will bow or deflect. You will probably have to break a few blades to figure out what is enough pressure versus what is too much. 1" of plywood is a lot but you have to figure it out. Don't fret (pun intended) we all had to figure it out.

    Well Wayne, that is cool that the names worked out that way. For the young ones I'd slow the blade down a bit at first, use 1/4" stock, and give a simple outline to follow. Once you feel they are ready have them cut the letters of their name. Then ask them to come up with some ideas. You may want to help guide their hands at first so they get use to a comfortable speed. If you still have it you may want to put the hold-down back on the saw.

    I believe what Fred said is correct. That said I'd have no problem if someone asked me to cut one but I won't sell any. I like the idea of using the old bills like Steve Good's. What's neat is to put the reverse side of the bill on the back of the puzzle to add some challenge.

    John, if you're talking about a standard jigsaw puzzle the FD puzzle blade works great on puzzles upto 1/4". If you use a blade with reverse teeth those teeth can lift the photo from the wood. Now if your talking about the stand up animal puzzles a #3 or #5 work well. If the blade cuts too small of a kerf then any flex in the blade can make the pieces not go together very easily.

    You two are a great team. Both projects look great!

    Do taxes or scroll... tough call. As for the lines (veining) if they don't stand out enough you can use a thicker blade or cut along the veining to make it thicker. To get rid of the "fuzzies" I just run a torch over them to singe them, but don't burn the project. Or you can sand them. If you use a reverse toothed blade you will reduce the fuzzy stuff.

    I loved the movie. It's a classic. Thanks for sharing.

    Some blades cut straighter than others. Some woods have grain that make it easier to cut straight. It's also easier to go straight on thicker boards. But it's all about control. Slow down. Practice. Drink a beer. You'll get there.

    Nicely done!

    Awesome work!

    I love the tree pendants. If the CA dle holder cracks it will only add a little charm to it.

    I bought a cheap $40 folding table from Walmart and am happy with it. I only use it occasionally. It's light and portable, but like I said, cheap.

    Great idea Wayne. The background behind the ball is a little busy/distracting though. It makes your work a little hard to see.

    Are you wanting something portable or a little more permanent?
  23. Dan
    Welcome back!

    This is just a thought, you could find the right size from a thrift store. Take measurements of top diameter, bottom diameter, and height. Cut panels to fit around the shade. Cut deer prints and deer silhouettes on some panels. Glue rice paper to the inside of the panel. Remove the old fabric from the shade. Attach your panels to the shade. Not sure if it will work for you but if nothing else I hope I got the wheels spinning. Good luck.

    Nice!
