  1. Roly Not so much as you would think as you run the saw very slow and it doesn't make much dust. Homer & Carol
  2. Thanks everyone for the kind words. I talked to the guy at the floor store before we cut the tiles and he said there should be no problem. He also ask the rep from one of his suppliers. The tiles are easy to cut as they are only abt. 1/8" thick. We used a #7 skip tooth blade and ran the saw very slow. The tile is plastic and will melt if you run the saw to fast. We have a small rotary tool that runs on low voltage dc, from a charger. It is slower and does not throw a lot of dust around. You can also remove small areas by pulling it past the scroll saw blade, from the back to the front. We also do this when using 3/4" thick wood. Homer & Carol
  3. We have a very good friend that was redoing some of his office space and was redoing the floors. He had some pieces left and ask if we could do anything with them. We are posting them here to ask what you thing of them. We did go to a floor covering store and pick up a few different colors to add to some of the pictures. We glued the finished picture to black foam board and then mounted them in a frame. Hope you like them. Homer & Carol

  11. Hi everyone Have not been in the shop lately, but wanted to do a project for my granddaughter. I have been looking for a project to do with stained glass and decided on this one. http://youtu.be/kiFFyr1UNs0 God Bless Homer & Carol
  12. Marion Wonderful pieces, the use of found woods is great. Your ability to put it all together so well is a testament to your skills. Great Job. We hope that you and your husband will enjoy good health from now on. Thanks God Bless Homer & Carol

  15. Thanks everyone for the kind words. Some times its amazing what you can do with a drill press and a scroll saw. God Bless Homer & Carol
  16. Slot Machine/Bank The entire unit is made from wood except the shafts, plastic bushings, springs and steel cables. It only works if you insert a quarter in the slot and then it drops it in the base below. All the power is from the springs that are set when you pull the lever forward, no batteries, motors or other power. I was drawing some gears for a friend when I got the idea and I just had to see if I could make it. It's like a government machine, you put the money in and it gives you nothing back even if you win. :evil: Sorry the videos not better it's my first attempt. https://youtu.be/iJdf4tAF0bg God Bless Homer & Carol
