Beautiful bowl and beautiful wood!

Have any of you read "Flags of Our Fathers"? It's a story about the flag raisers on Iwo Jima. A gut wrenching book, in a gut wrenching time. I highly recommend the book. Have a box of Kleenex nearby if you do read it Nice job Kris!

Nice quick way of cleaning them up! I'll have to steal that idea from you Kevin. When I wipe mine down I also the ends of the blade with 320 grit emery cloth, just to rough them up a bit.

Very nice Jac1961

I bought my Ex-21 from them. I also bought my Fein vac from them. Still buy my Fein bags from them. I'd recommend them.

I really like your segment rose Danj84. I've had the pattern glued on a blank for a quite awhile. Just can't figure out a goo starting point.

Very nice

I agree with ScrollerPete. It takes me a bit longer due to glue ups, but I'm in no hurry.

Wow! Very impressive

I too enjoy resawing lumber. The only downfall, okay, one of the downfalls is setting my saw up to resaw, tuning it to a gnats butt. Once that is accomplished, I don't like switching blades to do other work. So now I'm looking for another bandsaw, and then I'll have two, one of which will be die dictated to resawing. I have the Shopfox 1706 with a riser.

Son of a #%¥£&. !!! Ah man, what a bummer. That being said, I have to agree with Spirithorse. RJR has a good idea also.

Rolf, where do you get these blades? I'm struggling on a piece that has numerous outside radius' of 1/32. My Pegas MG blades are just too aggressive for this application?

Very nice!

Yes it does.I bought the riser block and that opened up more ability. However, I'm not a fan of the fence for re-sawing. Resawing is quite the challenge. You just don't grab a piece of wood and slice it in to thinner pieces. Not only the fence, or the choice of blade, but the ability to "read" the grain is just as important. Also, how green the wood is. I've scrapped a lot of lumber resawing because of not reading the grain and the wood cups. I've also saved a lot of money when everything worked. I've re-sawed 2" thick X 10" wide walnut into 1/4" pieces and not had any problems. I've also taken a 3/4" thick piece of maple and slice it in half. And the SOB cupped big time. Beats the hell out of me why, but it did. For me, resawing is a whole new dimension of woodworking and a challenge that I enjoy. If I may add, it is so awesome when you resaw a piece of lumber and you realize how cool the grain is "inside". If ya know what I mean. My apologies for rambling. For what it's worth, if I were to do it all over again, I'd buy the Shopfox. PS enjoy the challenge of resawing

From what I see, the Jet is damn near identical to the Shopfox. I've had my Shopfox, oh I'd say 6 or 7 years. I use it a lot. The only trouble I've had is the on/off switch. Piece of cake to replace it. I have zero complaints and I like my saw, it does what it's suppose to do.

I've been looking at bandsaws for re-sawing for quite awhile and if I had that budget, I'd go for the Laguna. Rikon second, and the Grizzly a distant 3rd.

Touché.

Off the top of my head, the only disadvantage is waiting for the glue to dry. I use a hot glue gun, and run a bead around the perimeter of the stack. I do like your idea, I will have to try it

As Tim the Toolman Taylor would say.oh oh oh

Perfect timing on your post Rockytime. I just finished a clock that has quite a bit of thin fret work. I was wondering how I was going to glue it to the backing board without getting glue all over. I thought , what the hell, I'll give your suggestion a try. It works great! Thanks!

I agree, but I went through all of my scroll saw magazines, couldn't find it. Even called Fox Publishing, they could find it either.

Thanks Wayne! Much appreciated!

No can do. I gave it to my nephew as a wedding present. He's in California, I'm in Minnesota. I do like your thinking though.

I made this clock this past summer. But I cannot find the pattern. Anyone have a clue as to where the pattern came from?

Dave, how do you keep your backer from splotching when you stain it? Nice pieces by the way
