    Great cutting Paul, what finish did you use on the birch? Malc
  16. That looks great. Never tried intarsia, must do oneday. Malc
  17. Super pattern, good cutting. Hope you don't mind I have copied the picture and will cut myself one. If you could post a copy of the pattern would be great! Malc
  18. The pattern is by Ardold Volker now handled by his son in law Kyle Sheffer at www.woodyoubelieveshop.com in the USA I saw a picture of this design in a Patrick Spielman book called 300 Christian & Inspirational patterns. I sent a picture of it to Kyle and he postedme the pattern at very reasonable cost. Vey glad you liked it. Malc
  19. If you are in UK and can get decent ply at £15 for an 8x4 please tell me where! I pay about £7 for a bit 4x1. Malc
  20. Nativity Scene designed by Arnold Volker and cut by me Malc
  21. You all probably do this anyway, but I have only just thought of it! I have been doing a cut with many very fine holes, i.e. a no.1 blade size and found great difficulty finding the hole to feed the blade through. So I ground the top end of the blade to a point and bingo! pops through every time with no effort! Malc
  22. As Armistice day approaches I thought it would be nice to make a commemorative plaque to remember those who gave their lives for us. I have called it 'Lest we Forget'. I hope you all like it. The background is pine and the soldier is stained with rosewood. Malc
  23. Is there a way of fitting a foot pedel to a machine with a zero volt on/off switch. On mine once the power is removed there is no way to turn it back on without pressing the on switch. I believe this is common on most electrical goods with blades in the UK. Malc
  24. I want to spray paint some plywood decorations, what primer would you use? Malc
  25. I want to cut some key holders that are 12mm thick. If I cut them one at a time I would use a No.5 blade. How many do you think I could cut at one time and what blade would you use. The wood in question is pine. malc
