One other word to everyones response. Awesome! Just amazing! Okay, that was more than one word.
-
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.

I really like my lighted magnifier that I purchased from Advanced Machinery. They are the company that sells Hegners.
-
Love it! Made me laugh out loud.
-
Wow is right! Very nice!

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.

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.

Perfect timing on your post. I’m doing a few Christmas intarsia pieces and I’m struggling keeping them in place. Thank you!

Nice work! I also really like the cabin scenes

Nice work! I too was into model railroading, HO scale. I had a 4x10(?) layout. I loved, loved, loved building and modeling it. Running the trains was actually kind of boring. Scratch building was a lot of fun as was making my own trees. Good times, good times indeed.

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.

Cardboard box also, but I stand a used furnace filter up at the back. I stick pattern onto filter and spray 3M77. The furnace filter catches the over spray and the pattern doesn’t go blowing away.

Very cool! -
I’ll take the Hegner clamps over the EX and Pegas clamps any day. I don’t think it takes any longer to change blades with the Hegner vs EX. But if it does take longer, I don’t particularly care. When I’m running my scrollsaw, I’m I my own little world and time is irrelevant.

My first was an AMT. it was my dads. He made the most beautiful intarsia pieces with it. I had no such luck. My next one was a craftsman. Both of these saws were pin only. Both also collected dust from lack of use. My nephew gave me a DW788 and what a difference. That got me hooked. Since then, I’ve purchased two EX-21’s and two Hegner’s. (I have a summer shop and a winter shop) I still have all four, but use only the Hegners. The only time I’ll use the EX’s is when I need to tilt the head.

Wow! Those are awesome!

I agree with Ctutor. Ocooch. They are really good to work with.

A very sad day indeed -
Never even thought of leaving pattern on and painting the frets. I too am going to have to steal that idea.

I’ll join ya with a cold frosty Hamms and a shot (or two) of Jim Beam Black. As a clown this is one of my favorite tunes to juggle to. I’ll have to try and see if I can juggle as long as they’re jamming’.

Rey, very nice!

What thickness did you use Dick? Looking at the pattern from the site, it says to use 1/4”. The photo you posted looks thicker than that. I’m thinking 1/2-3/4” would make it look “more full”. Also easier to round the edges.
-
Looks like a lot of fun to make and paint. Very nice!
-
Impressive!
