    I spray waterbased all the time. I don't thin as the more water you add the more it will raise the grain. it works great and cleanup is a snap. Most of the manufactures make a water based product as well as oil based. Spray it at low pressure (20 psi). sully

    Stick wax is also great on the planer table, I use an old block that i use to wax my ice skates with, It's really old LOL. sully

    If it's a quik cut i just use the spray adhesive, but if it will take a while or is a difficult pattern i first lay down a peice of Glad press and seal and roll it down with a small wallpaper roller. Then i attatch the pattern with spray adhesive as usual. PLEASE NOTE don't use glad wrap or saran wrap. GLAD PRESS AND SEAL. the pattern holds good and then it and the press and seal pull right off. I also use the clear tape as it does lube the blad and also holds the patter together in tight cuts. sully

    Lately i've been useing old barn boards that a freind of mine supplies me with. Red Oak ,Walnut, Chestnut, cedar ,pine and in widths you just can't buy, some as wide as 24". If someone local tears down barns in your area make freinds with them . you'll need a good planer or wide drum sander but there is some amazing wood out there on barns. Most of it is free and free is my favorite kind of wood. sully

    Karen as far as the saw goes I would highly recomend the Dewalt DW-788 if you can afford it. It has all up front controls and thumb screws for tightening the blades. Also the upper arm lifts up to make blade accses much easier. sully

    Karen, You are not alone in your dislike of spirals. Mike sells the best blades there are and the ultra reverse are the best of all, almost no fuzzies to clean up and the blades last forever. I use #1 ,#5 myself. sully

    Thanks gene sully

    Looks like it's time for my 788 to be rebuilt. Dewalt advertizes a guaranteed repair cost of $259. no matter what it takes. My saw is a type 1 and it has a ton of hours on it.Switch is bad,bellows blown, makes a ton of noise and the worst it fluctuates on speed no matter what i have it set for. Motor alone costs over $200 and the circuit board is $80. Has anyone ever used the GRC ? Thanks all sully

    I've been useing the loctite brand at Lowes here lately, it works real good sully

    I use fdur #5 and nail with a brad nailer in the waste area up to 1 1/2" cutting but it is tough on any blade that thick sully

    the tree pattern was done by Oily in his illusions series. the others i'm not sure of the designer sully
  14. sullyscroller
    They do make a arm lift for the 788 but i just use a bungie cord and it works great like the others said. sully

    Heres the link to wsmith's original post with his pattern, I used inkscape and gimp to remove the wording and enlarge it. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7059 sully

    Great pattern by wsmith , took the liberty of not cutting the words from the original pattern as wife and i thought the picture was perfect without them. Thanks for the pattern and for looking. sully
  17. sullyscroller
    I'm with Len , you can't get a better blade than the fdur's and mike is the best place to get them sully

    set the bench height to the chair you are going to use and a trick i learned from messman is to raise the back of your saw about 20 degrees. it helps with your back cause you are not hunched over the work. Try a temp block under the back to see how it feels. sully
  19. sullyscroller
    Sounds like your you are talking about pinned blades , so my next question is will your saw use straight blades without the pins ? If you let us know the model i'm sure someone can let you know if it will take the straight or "pinless" blades. sully
  20. sullyscroller
    oil smoil mike your blades are the best hands down sully

    word of warning , if you plane walnut don't use the chips for mulch , it will kill the grass. look around a walnut tree and theres no grass it has a toxic resin in it and it's also bad for you so wear a respirator or mask. sully

    Joey , pin end blades are available at sears and most hardware stores, also on line at a lower cost and much better quality. Most serious scrollers prefer straight blades as the access hole don't need to be near as large and there is more variety of styles.Mike at mikes workshop has great blades and service at a great price.You should be able to get the manual online or at sears. sully
