Well, certainly congratulations. Good on you!

Very well done.

Very well done!

Great job!

Very clever and well done!

Are you serious, no one noticed I Fixed the Disaster??? My title of the thread was "Desaster Fixed" I fixed it so now all my disasters are fixed......

But, I am on a low sodium diet! No salt! I have heard of this, but not tried It. I was surprised the piece moved, I was using Titebond Quick and Thick glue and it is real tacky. Usually once the pieces are together, you have to work at moving them. Live and learn and yep, "haste makes waste".

The last thing I did before I sprayed finish on my 23rd Psalms piece was glue on the medallion on top of the piece. I put glue on the back of the medallion, and put it in place. As I was getting ready to clamp it my wife called down to me to go open the gate, we had company. I hurriedly clamped it in place and did as I was commanded (as usual). I did not notice until much later, that the medallion had moved as I clamped it. It was around 1/8" off center..... Glue was set. I thought, well no one will notice,,,, but I knew, and it drove me crazy. I did not sleep last night, thinking about how I could possibly fix it. I thought of two options. 1: try heating and see it the glue would give before I scorched the wood, or 2: sand it off. Start with a belt sander until I got it very thin, then switch to a random orbit sander to finish it. I just knew there was a good chance I would slip with the belt sander and destroy something, but worth trying. I took some scraps of the same wood, glue it to a piece of BB, even sprayed it with the Deft finish I used on the piece and tried the heat gun on it. It worked, so I decided that is what I would do. I used a putty to pry with. Laid other pieces of BB around the medallion to protect what was close by and went to work with the heat gun,,,, very slowly and carefully. It worked great! got the medallion off with nothing burning or breaking. Sand the old glue off, cleaned everything real good, re-glued the medallion back on where it belonged... LIFE IS GOOD!

Things wear out,,,, I know I am and it is nothing I have done..... Glad you have it back. Hope all is well with it, let's see some more beautiful projects now.

Okay, finish, take them off, paint flat black.... Then it will work.

Maybe your Hawk has the insert type, have you looked? What Bill says is true and it is good to take the insert off and clean it once in a while. I even add a little light grease to mine before I put it back together..

MASTERPIECE!!! Awesome, well done!! You should also make an album here on this site..

Well, as an old goat, Motorhead, I thought would be a car nut, drag racer, hotrod builder, or some such thing.. I looked him up, listened about 30 seconds,,,, he should have been a car nut, drag racer, hotrod builder of some such thing....... Okay, not my kind of noise,,er, I mean music.... but you did a good job on the portrait...

The Seyco does not have the nice "turn the knob to move the head" either. You just push the head. I don't know how well it works because I haven't moved the head yet, but I plan on it in the not too distant future.

Very well done.

The Festool is quite a bit more than than Fein. But if you add the HEPA filter to the Fein, which the Fein does not come with, and they are expensive, you are almost up to the cost of the Festool. But, on the Fein you still do not have the two speeds. I love my Fein, but had I studied more before I bought, I may have gone with the Festool. But, I'm happy with the Fein, does all I need it to.

well, I would, but I don't know how to make a pattern.... (just kidding.)

You certainly did a beautiful job of that!

The only place I used a spiral, FD 3/0 New Spiral Blade, was on the veining in the leaves. I cut them first with a small flat blade 2/0 size than go over them with the spiral blade.

I think I may be one of themmmmmmm.

Yes the top, sides and bottom are two pieces each. So actually a person could do all the frame work in four stacked cuts. I do not like to stack over two pieces at a time for something like this so I did it with 6 cuts. The framing is the kind of scrolling I really enjoy for some reason, so I do not mind doing it in more cuts. One thing Learned from doing the cutting of John 3:16, is to make sure the grain of the wood all runs in the same direction through the whole piece. If you do not, when you take pictures of it the light will reflect differently on the pieces with the grain going it vertical direction from the pieces cut with the grain going horizontal. Just a little tidbit I learned from past experience.

Very well done on both... That reminds me, I need to get a frame done for the one for my daughter.

Very nice. I am sure they will do good at auction.

Looks beautiful. I like some snow. I'd like more than we normally get. We are sorta famous for our Chinooks. Can get rid of a lot of snow in a very short time.

The only way they will get a tuned up one out of the box, in the US is to buy new Seyco, Hawk, or Hegner. I truthfully cannot recommend the Seyco as a "better" saw over the other Ex types, but I can recommend the service from Seyco over the ones that sell this type saw and the service from Advanced Machinery (Hegner). I do not have experience with the service for the Hawk.
