  1. Nice job, both of you. Very delicate cutting! Don R
  2. Very well done, Gary. You should be proud!! Don R
  3. Tim, That's a keeper. Thanks for posting and bringing my pattern to life. Don R
  4. Ed I got the 40-690 on sale. Great saw great deal. Don R
  5. Ed, I also began with a Craftsman 16 inch and I liked it. I used it for about seven years with only minor problems but blade changing was a problem so I "invented" a bigger thumbscrew to make blade changing less painful. Recently, I upgraded to a Delta when they were on sale a few months ago. There is no comparison, the Delta is by a long shot far superior to the Craftsman in every way. In short, I love my Delta. Good luck with your choice. Don R
  6. Ben I use blue painters tape. Don R
  7. Well done Kevin! It is really cool that the pattern maker is recognizable in each of them. Thanks for posting. Don R
  8. Congratulations, that is a great cutting job on that difficult pattern!! Don R
  9. Nice ones Kevin! Thanks for bringing my patterns to life. I am a little surprised that you cut them seperately. I would have thought that you would have stacked one of the patterns then added the individual names. Thanks for sharing them with us. Don R
  10. I think it is mine.
  11. I run the saw at medium speed (#5) and feed steadily and slowly and keep good downward pressure on the wood. Doing that with spirals works well for me. It took about 2 hours to cut that picture of the Indian Girl and 4 or 5 blades. Don R
  12. Good one Kevin. Thanks for posting. Congrats on your return to the net. Don R
  13. Mimi, Just one example, I cut this yesterday with FD Spirals #1, stack of 4. Pattern by Pabreau. DonR
  14. Another nice one, Steve. Thanks for posting. Don R
  15. Mimi, As far as I am concerned, it is an excellent idea. Many will disagree but I use exclusively FD Spiral blades and I use #1 Spirals to cut a stack of four 1/8 inch BB Ply. Don R
  16. Jeff, Here is where I buy mine.http://www.sloanswoodshop.com/ Don R

    I just completed this cut of the Queen and used the Union Jack as a backer. What do you think? Go with the color or use a plain backer? I can't decide. Don R

  22. Kevin, I use both Weebly.com and Webs.com. Both are free and I have had great success on my Webs.com website www.oldcrowwoodcrafts.webs.com My weebly.com website is new and I haven't had a lot of traffic yet but it is picking up. Let me know if you build a website and perhaps we can place reciprocal links. Don R
  23. Hawkinob, You may very well be correct on all three points. Here it is revised. Don R
  24. Good job, Mimi. Thanks for sharing! Don R
