  1. Giving them away is a good idea but sometimes my wife won't let me and there goes that problem. I have one that I made about 15 years ago and she tells me to clean it and it's hers and that is her problem and she hasn't came up with an answer yet. IKE
  2. I always finish my work because I cut portraits on oak plywood and it brings out the grain and they really look good. IKE
  3. welcome again Rob. all you have to do is guide the wood and let the saw do all the work. Do not force the wood into the blade. Don't get into a big hurry. And most of all is don't buy your blades from a big BOX STORE. Buy from a catalog like the Wooden Teddy Bear. ike
  4. WELCOME ROBB I have been scrolling for over 20 years and some day's I can't keep on the line. Straight lines are easy after a couple of weeks it's the curved lines that are hard to correct Don't worry about making fire wood we all do hat . Most mistakes are noticed by you only IKE

  6. Good idea, it reminds me of a sand blaster in the last machine shop I worked. ike
  7. Looks good . If it works for you that's all that's matters. I still use the old 2X4. I have it chained to the side of my stand, with in easy reach and I don't loose it now I use it chained. I would rather spend the $30 on wood.
  8. This is the best I have

  14. This is a lighted nativity scene . the pattern Volker Arnold pattern from the Teddy Bear catalog. I stacked 3 of them and will probably sell them, unless My decides she wants one. I don't know what to charge for it what ever it is it wont be enough , but I enjoyed making it.
  15. I make a lot things because it looks like fun. I try and sell them at craft sales. some times I keep them up for sale for a couple of years, there is always some one that would like the project, I will market it down if someone really looks like it is something they would like and I can see they think it is more than they would like to pay, but most things will sell sooner or later.. Or I give them away, but I had fun making it. IKE

  24. I have an access to some undried lumber from a saw mill. I can get all kinds of lumber but I have to air dry it.
