Hi folks, as most of you know that i had an argument with my tablesaw and i lost the argument. i am getting so bored not being able to use my hand to do anything so i have just about read all of my woodworking books twice and watched my dvd's and various videos to the point that i can recite them. if anyone has any woodworking books,magazines,dvd's,cd's or vhs tapes that you would be willing to let go. please let me know. thank you. steve

WOW!!! Beautiful just Beautiful. Steve

i am not familiar with those models of the delta's but i have the 40-650 q-3 18" vs. it has the quickset II blade chucks on it. if they would work on your model saws i would definitely recommend them. i have had this saw about 20 yrs and only replaced them once.(i could have repaired them but just went with a new set). check with their parts dept., or RickH on the sswwc forum, and possibly mikes tools. steve p.s. i might have the parts # somewhere if needed

those are absolutely beautiful!!! do you sell those? i would love to have some of those. even better i would love to be able to produce such works. but no lathe in the arsenal yet, one of these days. steve

love that clock, nicely done with the contrasting base. do you know if the pattern is available? i would love to get a copy of that if possible. thanks. steve
-
that is just too cute. since you made the pattern yourself are you willing to share the pattern? steve

i use a 1/8" ply backer and attach with titebonds moulding and trim glue. it dries clear, has a fast set time and does not run. it has been the best glue for attaching my backers. it also works great to fill a void if needed. i use clear finishes and it is almost invisible to finish over. steve

you might get lucky and find it at a library somewhere. not sure if libraries have these types of mags. but worth a try. steve

i always use a 1/8" ply backer for my portraits. it adds strength to the cutting and makes it much easier to do multiple colors. just make your marks where you want the different colors and paint by numbers. hope this helps. steve

i use mostly red oak except for portraits i use maple. i have used cherry, hickory, aromatic red cedar, black walnut and poplar in some projects. i would like to get my hands on some of the exotics as i have no local supply for any of those and would like to see what they look and feel like. steve

just a thought on the blower for your saw. if you find that it is the bellows that is damaged i suggest that you use one of the other methods that has been suggested. (tennis ball/aquarium pump) these methods will outlast the small rubber/plastic bellows 100 fold. steve

wouldn't it be nice if someone came out with an after market design to incorporate that technology on all existing saws/tools. steve

good article and sound advice. i won't add photos of mine as this is a family oriented forum but trust me it would make you get up right now and start putting safety devices on everything. this throbbing bunch of bandages on the end of my arm is enough for me to make sure that in the future my guards will be in place before i use any tool. steve

Dan, picking one's nose is an easy fix. Getting used to using the wrong hand to wipe one's backside is another story. Steve

Hi folks, just wanted to let everyone know that i have to go in for a second surgery on my hand on friday. Something came loose in my index finger as i felt and heard it pop like cracking your knuckles yesterday. Now i have no movement or feeling in that finger at all. Be careful out there these machines that we use can bite and hard. I put this as part 2 as most of you know that I had a fight with my tablesaw last tuesday and i lost. it got the best part of my thumb and index finger on my right hand and i am a righty. steve

i had that problem with the craftsman saws also. i actually stripped the block that the tension screw screwed into. i had a buddy make me a block of steel to fit and he drilled and threaded it to math the screw. never had any trouble after that. the original blocks are soft and sometimes locktite will work as long as you do not have to turn the knob and can tension by where you place the blade in the holder. try a machine shop and compare the price between them and ordering the same headache from sears. steve

I do make a lot of portraits but just about anything fretwork. The more intricate the better. But I do have to fall back on some of the easier cuttings to make any money at shows. The intricate cuttings do not sell fast enough to make it worthwhile to tie up all of my time in them so I mostly make them for myself or as orders. Steve

I sell out of mine every time shaped like a key. Also I have some that are word art that spell out the word "KEYS", "MOTHER", "FATHER". There are some on the SSWWC site that are free in the shape of several different campers or RV's. Of course it is endless of the things that you can make into a key rack. Good luck. Steve

Another thought would be to add each name on a football shaped piece of wood. Make it so that you could just slide the football shape into a frame (sort of like the wooden calendars that you change the #'s on). Just a thought. Steve

Awesome!!! I just can't get enough of that type of patterns. I don't know why but I have always loved anything to do with old ships and pirates. Is it possible to get a copy of that pattern? Great looking the way it is but I agree a bigger clock may set it off more. Steve

I have a dillemma & I could use some advice.

I do not have a web site ( wish I knew how to set one up) but I have been asked the same question at shows. My answer is is usually that I have literally thousands of patterns and there are thousands more available. If you are interested in something specific I will try to find a pattern to suit your needs or if one is not available I will work with you to design what you may need. It seems that if you post a pattern even with a water mark a thief will find a way to steal it if they want it bad enough. I used to post a link back to an artist that I have permission to use his works until I found that people were using his art to make their own patterns without permission. It is a shame that people have to steal others works to try and make themselves look good. Steve -
Hi Folks, seems like the time is just flying by to fast. Friday the 20th is our 10th anniversary, dinner at my brother's Saturday evening, lunch at her Mom's Sunday afternoon, Monday the 23rd opening day of deer season, need to finish up an order of 17 stacked ring bowls to deliver on the 29th, one portrait before Dec. 17th, six more portraits for Christmas. Whew, can someone pass gas for me cause I just ain't got the time. Steve

Titebond has a glue out that is Molding & Trim glue. It is a non running thicker consistency glue that has a fast tack and dries clear. Hope this helps someone. Steve

I certainly can identify with you on this statement. I would love to have a shop/show partner. My wife just is not interested in either although she will go to a couple of shows with me. She does not care for crowds like that and meeting a lot of people. Steve

I made some small tables and chairs and curio cabinets to size with some of the small porcelain tea sets that you can get for little girls several years ago. Steve
