    Wow, what a beauty! Like Paul said, fit and finish are great. That must have been a bear to cut. I agree, cut thinner and stack them next time. You could even slide a thin piece of walnut between the two halves for accent.

    If you group all the objects you can constrain the size and resize proportionally to fit the page. Another way is to save the image as a PDF and open it with a PDF viewer. When you go to print an option you can select is to size to fit page. Hope this helps.

    Great job Steve. I like your idea of mixing intarsia and fretwork.

    Sorry about the link. Thanks for the new link Larry.

    This isn't scrolling but it is useful. I've seen other methods but this is so simple I had to try it. IT WORKS!! I'm making a fire truck and needed a walnut dowel for the ladder. I made the jig and dowels in about 15 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNp6Gen-PVU#Intent;scheme=http;package=com.google.android.youtube;S.browser_fallback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCNp6Gen-PVU;S.android.intent.extra.REFERRER_NAME=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com;end

    Hi Mark. We've all seen this at one time or another. Some things to check: Is the blade installed correctly? Is the blade tensioned properly? Not all Baltic birch ply are equal. The ones from the big box stores are not great quality. Using reverse toothed blades help to reduce the chipping. If the chopping is on top of the board your blade could be upside down.

    Thanks Bob. I do have a set of hole saws. I saw a video YouTube of a guy that makes them with a Forstner bit and hole saw. The wheels come out looking pretty good. I may try some like that so I can use different woods.

    I have an Epson WF4500 series and find the menu no to intuitive. I have no problems with copying but can't figure out how to scan and send it to the computer.

    Exquisite! I like a lot of the suggestions already made.

    After drilling a few holes with a Forstner bit I got tired of cleaning up the mess... shavings everywhere. The dust collector isn't accessible to the drill press so I had to put on my thinking cap. I cut a 2" piece of PVC about 1-1/2" long and just set it over the 1"hole I was going to drill. Almost all the shavings stayed right there, in the PVC. This may not be new to you but it was to me.

    I got my patterns from Winfield last week. This is one of the first vehicles I made. The patterns are for 2" wheels but all I currently have are 3/4" wheels. So I reduced the pattern and cut this. It's ash and walnut. I have 2" wheels on the way. My grandson now has a small collection of wooden cars and trucks.

    Looks like you got it down, Dave. Great Job!!

    Larry, the ports are on the left side of the machine. I guess I forgot to say it's a Delta P-20.
  16. Dan
    My Delta has oil ports for the pivot points which I fill every few weeks. The only other place I can think of greasing are the swivel connections in the back. The manual does not say to grease them and the saw is pretty quiet so I may check them but will probably not grease them.

    I have used saw toothed hangers and they work fine. Like Jerry said, you need to balance the wood to make sure it hangs properly. The last batch I made I used eye-screws on the top and hemp to hang it. Oh yeah, if you use the saw-toothed hangers also put the little rubber stick-on bumpers on the back. It will help keep it even against the wall and help hold it level.

    Well done Helmut!

    Yes sir, your young protege did a fantastic job. I really like the effect and the finish. Wow!

    Aw, Steve, don't let Roly scare you. As long as you don't make money off it you can make anything you want and post a picture.

    Great work...looks like the "Real Thing".

    Nice box! You have just scored some XX and OO from the misses.

    Sweet setup Ron. The table looks very sturdy.
