  1. Poplar is wonderful wood to scroll, with the added benefit of different colors. It is one of my favorites, along with black walnut and butternut.
  2. I made the puppy in the basket for my first grandchild, born in August. The two cats were made for 2 of my sisters, both of who are cat lovers
  3. WOW! Just amazing
  4. I have one and I purchased it from Rockler. I like it but I have to be careful not to get the iron (electric) too hot, otherwise it “blurs” my brand.
  5. I wonder if @Old Hudson will chime in. Yes, you can make operable clocks on the scroll saw. There is a company in Wisconsin that sells plans for geared clocks that you can make in the scrolll saw. I’ have attempted it,but failed. Will try again though.
  6. I use the less expensive N95. If there’s a Menards in your area they have the N95 on sale. 20 pack for $4.99 with a $4.00 rebate.
  7. Looks good to me! Both project and photo
  8. That’s funny. I would love to make one for my brother. Is there a pattern available?
  9. Man! They are both very nice.
  10. That is really cool Barb!
  11. Cool! The flag is really cool also!
  12. Very nice!
  13. I use Kevins recipe of beeswax and mineral oil. A little goes a long way. Like Bill said a gallon of mineral oil would last a long time. i also use shellac, which is food safe, quite often. if I know I will be sitting a piece for awhile, I will use Minwax Antique Oil, but it does take a bit to cure. It’s also my favorite finish to use. I agree with BadBob. Key word is cured.
  14. Your bowl is something else! Impressive! being a pipe smoker, I like your pipe holder. (Pipe looks cool also)
  15. Very cool! The dually’s give it a nice touch. I might have to steal the idea from you. (Big smile)
  16. One other word to everyones response. Awesome! Just amazing! Okay, that was more than one word.
  17. Very nice. Is that what you use to display the birdhouses at the crafts shows you are in?

    WOW! Congrats on getting 1st. You should be proud. That is really cool.
  19. I really like my lighted magnifier that I purchased from Advanced Machinery. They are the company that sells Hegners.
  20. Love it! Made me laugh out loud.
  21. Wow is right! Very nice!
  22. I use cigar tubes. The tubes of blades are stored in a cigar box. When using a certain size blade,I just have the tube sitting on my workbench. When it comes time to change blades, it gives me a chance to stand up and stretch.
  23. Awesome job on the mouse. Christmas tree also. I don’t recall seeing the mouse in the magazine. I’ll have to go back and take a look at it.
  24. Nice work! I also really like the cabin scenes
  25. Here in Minnesota, it gets cold. So I’m lucky. I have a summer shop and a winter shop. The winter shop is in the basement, toasty warm. The summer shop is detached 3 stall garage, uninsulated. I pretty much have two of everything I need for woodworking. It probably would’ve been cheaper insulating and heating the 3 stall vs duplicating all my tools. Oh well.
