Great work! I, too, like the contract. The carving really sets it off.

For my grandson. It's not as fancy as some that I've seen but it was fun to make. Sycamore and walnut. I made the wheels using a hole saw and a Forstner bit. They came out alright, I guess. I am very pleased with the ladders. I made a dowel for the rungs from a video I saw on YouTube. Many coats of poly. It was fun to do but took forever because halfway through my bandsaw blade broke. I procrastinated on getting a new blade.

Nicely done Todd! I love the outdoors, wildlife themes. I love the lettering you used.
-
I have a cardboard box that I place over items I have applied a finish to. It protects the finish from any dust I happen to blow around while working on other projects.
-
Just to clarify, the derivative work only applies to the pattern not the finished piece cut from wood. Is this correct? If not there are a whole lot of us in violation.
-
Great job on the pattern and cutting!
-
Nice Kevin! I hope the guy in the office on the other side of the door doesn't mind.
-
Good catch. I need a painless blade for all my tools.

One of my coworkers gave me a chunk of maple that he cut down. Lucky me! It appears the ambrosia beetle called it home for some time. I didn't know what to do with it so I started by making these bookmark blanks. I'm not sure what design to cut but I like them with nothing cut. I'm hoping one of the chunks is large enough to make a bandsaw box.

I've never heard of St. Kevin, but you get my vote. Way to go pal. And congrats on the saw.
-
Wow! That's a great piece! Add a dark backer and frame and you have a masterpiece. Is that your design?
-
Fantastic piece! You should feel proud. I love the combination of fonts. Perfect placement of the bridges.

If you got 2 boards of each dimension then you got 4 boards 1/2" x 6" x 5'. I think that comes out to 5 board feet, so $6 per board foot. That is competitive in price to Rockler and Woodcraft's regular price. To me, if you are happy with the wood, it doesn't matter what you paid.

Katie summed it up nicely. Be patient as it will take a long time to dry.
-
Excellent cutting Keith! And congratulations to your granddaughter.
-
I used poly on my dining room table. It has held up through much abuse over the past 20 years. No water marks. Whatever finish you choose, be sure to get 100% coverage of front, back, inside cuts, etc.

I agree with Len. With that much lettering in a small place, I hate to say it, but I think you would be better off having it laser engraved.
-
Great! I can't be here today but I'll put it on my schedule for next Sunday. This sounds like fun.
-
I also usespar varnish. Our outdoor sign is over 10 years old and I haven't had to recoat it.
-
I do think that would be handy. Sometimes I manipulate a font to get the effect I'm looking for, so in that case it wouldn't be as much help.
-
I have not done that for jigsaw puzzles but have done it for other things. Why are you staining the ply?
-
Excellent job Paul! I've done the same thing...just wanted to cut something and wasted a nice piece of burl and there was so much going on in the grain and dark color that it was hard to see the cutting. Oh, well, live and learn. I don't know if it will help but maybe use some rope to frame the picture. Just a thought.
-
Fantastic puzzle! You sure have mastered jigsaw puzzles.
-
Another outstanding pattern and cutting Tony. Great job!
-
Nice job Vern! Too many holes for me.
