    The new owners still have the Steve's catalogue available. The complete catalogue was available on a stick. Not sure if still available but here is the link. I think $40 US https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2026/03/

    Well done. It came out perfectly. I can't see anything wrong with this at all. I have another glued up and not going to use dowel.

    A long time ago when I was refinishing antiques I would distress by banging with keys, or a small ball head hammer. I would then use steel wool and vinegar solution. It takes a lot of experimenting depending on the type of wood. There are lots of videos on this topic. Here is one https://youtu.be/JvyUkSenWK0?si=FoXQIDTz0NWmL7Ue Here is anther that talks about distressing too. https://youtu.be/gPR-u65fH0A?si=PWeEJBQ4kSRHJz0J There are stains too that mimic aging too.

    LOL>Had a smile about repetition. I am addicted to compound cutting and especially mini bird houses. Probably made over 150. I am getting organized for my compound cutting courses this fall and was laying out blanks and those partially done. Just need to finish some.

    For the blower you might want to check with Seyco for the exact measurement of the blower attachment they sell. Looks the same but metal. https://seyco.com/product/adb-10/

    Inspired by a Wood turner that showed an acorn birdhouse I thought I could do that. Version ! - I glued a piece of walnut to a piece of ash. Cut and it was close but there is a 1/6 inch of the top showing on the bottom. Not good enough for me as I think the pattern not lined up to the wood. Version 2. I glued a piece of cherry and poplar. This time I cut the pattern between the top and bottom and was careful to make sure lined up square. Not happy here as the difference was even more. I think I must of not cut exactly on the line or the blade bent. Not happy yet. FINAL VERSION. I am happy with result. i cut the pattern between the top and bottom and glued separately cut each separately. Because I was concerned about not being able to clamp I put in dowel.

    Love the idea of putting on the names versus the initials. I have the pattern sitting on my to do file and this gives me some inspiration. Well done.

    Cute idea. Well done

    For just over $100 (CAD) how can you go wrong. I had a similar sander that I bought used and it died from over use. When I went to replace it I bought a 12 inch disc only at Busy Bee and I wonder why I never had one before. Enjoy and keep up the good work.

    I have a friend near me (Brooklin Ontario) that has made these for me as Steve didn't ship to Canada. He has also made them for other friends. Below are some examples, The one that shows 9 is different sizes but I have only ever use the 1 inch one. The other are the image only that I designed in Inkscape and he converts for the laser.

    If I understand you you want just the text. Select the image, selecr export and make sure to only use the option selection. You can that select format. this is png

    Well done. You have more patience with sanding than I do. Looks great.

      thanks for the offer. I've had it for quite some time. since it came out in 2015 I think it was?

    Outstanding cutting. What size drill did you use around the high lighting for "Meditation"? Had to look closely to see how it was done.

    Finally finished up the set of 12 Petal Fence flowers. The large one is 15 inches across and the 2 smaller one 9 inches. Made from cedar fence board.

    Don here. Like Barb and Pete I buy from Sawbird. He is in Canada but does ship to USA. Before the $ tanked and all the tariff stuff, I used to buy from Mike's Workshop for my FD blades and Denny at [email protected] for Pegas I usually buy in bulk as group buy our club so the price is better from Sawbird

    Really cool.

    At our club meeting last night, we had lots of really FINE Woodworking items at show and tell. I introduced a new topic called FUN woodworking. I showed my Lady Bugs. Made from a cedar fence board. The holes are basswood cut out with tapered plug cutters. I also had more fence flowers that I will post the set later on.
  24. don in brooklin on
    These brighten up an otherwise dull fence. The 3 flowers made from 1 cedar fence and the butterflies with about 2/3 of one board.

    Love them. I just wish our frig would hold magnets.
