    I have used gluesticks over painters tape. they work fine there but it seems like a wast to use painters tape with spray. It's a lot simpler to use spry by itself. I have an old piece of 1/4 ply to spray on and when it gets to bad to use I just get another piece of ply. IKE

    When sawong at the higher speeds I can tell bly the cuttingif the blade is getting dull. I place my finger on the back of the blaede and if it is getting warm I change blades. I use olsons match blades I likke them better than the precision ground blades. IKE

    I have a craftmans 10" bench drill press it handles all my bits down to 1/32. I bought it 2 years ago new from Sears for $150 Or you could buy a mini drill chuck that you chuck in your Drill press for about $30 or less. IKE

    I like popular the best next is Walnut Popular is cheep and looks nice. i uselly use an linseed oil base on it It draws out the grain and looks real nice and the price is good My outlet is good it is half the price of some Depot or lows the only difference is that ite edges are not finished IKE

    I have a dewalt 788 and I bottom feed , some times it is a little tricky getting the blade thru the weed hole . when I drill the hole I turn the wood over and re drill the hole from the oppsite side the top clamp is easier to fit the blade in than the bottom holder . this works best for me. IKE

    I only buy Pllywood from H.D. or lowes I get the popular from Paaxton woods ( There is only 3 In the U.S.) at a cost os $2.10 per board foot. where HD is at $4.75 pr board foot but I think I will have to proce the Ply at Paxton Woods for H.D. and Lowes stop handling the top grade ply. IKE

    I am now out of dried hard wood and if I want to buy any I get Popular from the lumber company ( Paxton Woods) for $2.20 per board foot. The way I figure it thaat skid wood coatabout $3 per board foot. No thanks. just look around for some place to buy wood at a reasonable price. IKE

    I am using Krylon spray, It's not as good as 3m but it is a lot more convent to buy from Michael's at 40 or 50 off It cost about $4.50 a can. I do have a little riseing but I have a glue stick and when that happens I use Elmers stick glue. I have one at my saw. Sometimes the stick glue is a little harder to remove from the wood but it's not bad. IKE

    I use my spray adhesive on my patterns and use no blue tape. When cutting fretwork the blue tape is a big pain sometimes it takes about as long as cutting removing the tape.Most sprays are good except the Elamers I bought one and tried it 2 times then set it on the shelf and never tried it again. It is about the same price and it musst be a bigger mark up for some places only cary that bran. IKE

    I sand my blades and I use a lever to tighten the bottom screw. The way the bottom set screw sets I don't have the strength in my fingers( 78 years of abuse) as stated it is hard on the bottom blade holder I have to change it every couple of years. I use the long slender tighteners on his web page. if I didn't use these I would have slippage and use a lot more blades, It is worth the trade off. IKE

    I use olson's match blades as my go to blade. i have tried FD blades and they don't hold there edge as well as olsons. I don't care for Olson's #9 blade . it just don't cut vry well, but then again I don't need that bade very often . I have had olson's match blade last for an hour or a little more, No reason to change, IKE

    If you use Tight bond glue try soaking in vinagarthen wipe it off with a rag. I use cross stitch ada It works great, It may have to soak for a while. It's not an easy glue to remove. IKE
