    Very nice! And a very fun game to play.

    Wow! Both pieces are amazing! As one who loves model railroading (and anything to do with trains) that is right up my wheelhouse. Going back and forth from photo to the two pieces, it just blows me away.

    Beautiful piece! Love the backer. (12 above F here. 12-24” of snow forecasted for the next couple of days.)

    Dang! I might have to take you up on the challenge. Hmmmm what are the dimensions?
  5. Gonzo
    Wow! Very impressive!

    For me, it’s however long a blade lasts. My supply of blades are intentionally on my work bench, not by my saw. That way, when it’s time to change the blade,I take the blade out of the blade holder, stand up, put used blade in plastic pop/soda bottle on one workbench, take 3 steps over to other workbench, grab new blade, take 2 more steps, sit down at saw and put it in blade holder and away I go. However, there are many a time that I’ll play with the Slinky that is on my bench, or look out the window and admire the view, or do whatever! I’m in no hurry when it comes to shop time. And yes, I do sell the vast majority of my work. For what it’s worth, on 1/19, I hooked up a digital clock to my saw. Actual running time of the saw is 17.4 hours. In that time I have made 3 intarsia pieces, 12 birdhouse ornaments, and 3 penny drop games. To me, it’s eye opening how little my saw is actually running!

    Impressive!

    I forgot about Molly Hatchet. Yeah they had cool album covers. No, they didn’t have war horses at their concerts, but if my memory serves me right, on one of their tours they had thousands of ping pong balls in a net above the stage. When they started playing “Flirting with Disaster”, they released them from the ceiling. Total pandemonium. Makes me want to go downstairs and fire up the turntable and headphones.

    Can’t answer your question, but I think The Moody Blues have got to have some of the coolest album covers.

    Nice work!

    Very cool! I too like the gray. Isn’t it fun when you’re sanding/forming a piece how it changes the look of the wood? I’m currently working on the beagle in the basket, and I had to re-make the basket because the grain in the cedar was “all over the place” when I started contouring it. To me, the contouring of the wood is a fun challenge. Again, I think that is a cool and awesome piece!! I’ll have to put it on my to do list.

    Nice work!

    I agree with everyone, beautiful!

    Beautiful! Is bucato tough to cut? I’ve made 3 chess sets. One one the lathe the other two scrolling. They sure are fun to make.
  17. Gonzo
    That is really cool!
  18. Gonzo
    That is very nice! What type of wood did you use and how thick ?
  19. Gonzo
    FYI for those who useJohnson Paste wax in the yellow can. It has been discontinued. So if ya see it on a store shelf buy it.
  20. Gonzo
    Wow! Impressive as all heck! You always amaze me with your patterns and your finished pieces.
  21. Gonzo
    I agree with Charlie E. What a privilege! Very,very nice of you.
  22. Gonzo
    That is really cool!
  23. Gonzo
    Neat idea on what you did. Great job on the pattern and final result.
  24. Gonzo
    Thank you!

    My favorite would be this chess set I made for my son in law. I also made one for my nephew. Mahogany and Birch.
