Ok, now I have another question..Im looking for the Village University your talking about. Is that on this site and where is it, I cannot find it, Thanks much

Hi Dick, Thank you for your response, I do feel most welcome here. Since you brought it up, where or what brand of blades do you recommend? I just bought some blades from Home Depot yesterday and the only brand they had were Ryobi. I bought the multipack with 3 sizes, but didn't have time to try them out last nite. I appreciate your suggestion on stack cutting as well, I want to make things to sell, so anything to speed up some production is worth it. I seen where you can masking tape the wood together or also use double sided tape around the outside scrap edges I presume. Whats your favorite technique? Thanks for all the tips so far! Have a great day!

Thanks for attaching thumbnails. These are darling. Did you set the stones with glue by hand or use a hot gem setter? Thanks for all the hints and tips. I am a custom picture framer by profession, but I don't produce the moudling myself. I order and then cut to custom sizes. I have been inspired by my father and grandfather watching them carve and build beautiful things out of wood growing up. Ive always had a passion for it.

Thanks, This is a great site!

Thanks to everyone, you are all so kind. I have been researching lots of ideas you suggested. Many thanks!!
