Fortunate to have come across a Stanley 45 (SW) made between 1919 and 1932. No missing parts and excellent condition. Almost done cleaning and sharpening the two boxes of cutters which received sharp with little if any use. Tried a beading cutter and a dado cutter. I tell you, what an amazing plane. Some of you may have one or remember using one. This one will diffinitely become a favorite in my (SW) collection of planes and socket chisels. The price I paid for everything was $$. Guess the price or comment if you wish. I'll post the price I paid in a few days giving the closest guess 5 *****

Fabulous Tim. Very beautiful work. Looks like you inlaid the Purple Heart ribbon.

How about a memory box for her to place memories of a special occasion Ralph A memory box can be designed to suit any occasion.

A quality tool is so enjoyable to work with saving time and money. Congrats on your new toy Dave. Enjoy.

Very well done Randy.

Very well done Theresa. I mainly use semi gloss polyurethane. The hand rubbed polyurethane also produces a beautiful finish. I apply three to four light coats lightly sanding between each and finish with a cabinet makers wax or bees wax. The only time I apply a sealer is when using acrylics. The background on your project looks great.

Terrific cutting Richard on both. Yes, a lot of cutting.

Scott is correct. A 2/0 crown tooth blade cuts very well.

Excellent Dick. Like photos of lady and rolling pin.

Well friend, I agree with everyone else. See a doctor IMMEDIATELY!!! Don't waste precious time posting. Your health is more important.

I enjoy marquetry and my preference is using â…›" hardwoods over veneer inlayiing a pattern into a â…›" backboard. I'll make a certain number of plates of whatever pattern and number each. Name each part to be cut with name of hardwood and mark grain direction with registration marks (cross) at top of each plate. Using carbon paper trace the registration marks onto back board. Tape first plate onto backboard aligning registration marks. Tape first piece of hardwood to back of backboard set with grain direction. Tilt the scrollsaw table to left approximately 4 degrees (do a test cut and adjust accordingly. I use a 2/0 blade. Always cutting counter clockwise. Discard top cutout peice. Push bottom peice up. It should protrude just above the backboard. Glue in place. Continue on with plate number 2 and etc until all plates have been cut. Sand almost flush with an orbit sander and finish with a scraper. Burning in for shadows is an option. Now this can be inlaid into an urn or into any other project and finished. Hopefully this will give you another option for consideration.
