    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?
  7. Dan
    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?
  17. Dan
    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.
  18. Dan
    Fantastic puzzle! You sure have mastered jigsaw puzzles.

    Another outstanding pattern and cutting Tony. Great job!
  20. Dan
    Nice job Vern! Too many holes for me.

    Excellent work! Owls are a favorite of mine

    Not really a tool but you can never have too much overhead lighting.

    Never heard of it but this is what Wikipedia has to say: Japan drier is a common lay term and generic product name for any oil drying agent that can be mixed with drying oils such as boiled linseed oil and alkyd resin paints to speed up "drying". The name refers to "japanning", a term for the use of drying oils as an imitation or substitution for urushiol based Japanese lacquer. Dan, sounds like you are right on the money.
