  1. Trust me, it is very rewarding. I have to get back to it.
  2. Sorry, I cannot help. But you did remind me of JE Plans. Had not been there in a while. Someday I want to try building a couple of his engines, just for fun All I found is this one. It can be had in PDF file. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1778052988/plexiglass-puzzle-chess-set-laser-cut?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=medieval+chess+set+theme+pattern&ref=sr_gallery-1-46&pro=1&dd=1&content_source=fc2e9bc457f84ba71213a8e0fb501b800fc7cda6%3A1778052988&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=fc2e9bc457f84ba71213a8e0fb501b800fc7cda6%3A1778052988
  3. I guess I disagree. I think it depends, but do say it is not appropriate for fret work. I have used it many times. I use it in every military emblem I have made to give contrast to the middle ring. I used a jell stain and a pipe cleaner. No one has complained yet. Sure, I could use contrasting wood, but it would be a huge waste of wood, and I give these away for free. Now, if I wanted to stain a detailed fret piece, I would do the dipping method, which is no different than using the dipping method to apply a finish like tongue oil or something. I put a wood conditioner on the wood before staining. Help eliminate most of the parts that would block.
  4. I used pipe cleaners to put stain in small places. It's time-consuming, but it works.
  5. Hope not, but I guess maybe she quit.
  6. Liking that!
  7. Very well done. Veery cheerful colors.
  8. Very well done. I like both of them
  9. Check, where your blades in correctly. Not joking; I have done it myself a time or two. Teeth to the front!
  10. Welcome to the village. I am sure you will have fun here. Get your father-in-law to join us also if he is not already a member.
  11. Welcome to the Village. Moving in here is a good start. On the big blue bar at the top of the page, put your cursor on "Resources" and select "How to Articles". Good info there. Hopefully, you can find someone close because it is great fun to have a friend that you see to visit with and learn from. I had a few close enough to do that with, but it seems like after a visit or two with me they move away! It must be something I do; I am a little strange, so I have been told. If you cannot find someone, do not give up. YouTube is a great friend, and you can get tons of info here just by asking questions. What saw do you have, what kind of scrolling to you think you are most interested in doing?
  12. Cute little guys!
  13. That is a great-looking breadboard. I have been thinking of making some pizza peels with similar types of designs in them.
  14. I think that is a great mod. Well done.
  15. Welcome to the village.
  16. Awesome, Dave. Such fine cutting on the inlay. I can never seem to get as sharp corners.
  17. That is a nice one!
  18. I agree, That's a great idea. I always thought the little ones needed some color.
  19. Everything has gone up in price over the past few years, and then they increased the cost of electricity. My property tax went up 20%. Everything went up but my income.
  20. Humm, the only kind my wife can grow! Well done.
  21. Yep. It is as bad as when I hear "Satchmo" sing "Wonderful World". But we could have a lot worse noises going through our heads.
  22. Very nice.
  23. Thank you, but HA! You have the skills to cut that on one of your little pieces of 4" x 5" Oak! The backer, 11" x 14". My. wife was at a quilting bee for a couple of days, so I did get it mounted on a backer. Still, need a frame and finish.
  24. Excellent piece. The way you framed it really make it classy!
  25. Sometimes, a simple pattern is so nice. Well done, but that may not have been a simple cut in Oak.
