  1. Congratulations, on the new saw. I am so sure you will love it. I hope you notified the manufacture about the packaging and condition of the saw when you got it. They need to know, because not many people are as forgiving and patient as you appear to be. It they don't send a good produce they will be back out of business... and to my mind that includes the packaging. You should receive a well put together product.
  2. Great work. They are great little toys.
  3. Very nice cuttings, Kevin. Where did you find that pattern for the two horses? Great job!
  4. WOW that is a delicate basket. Very nice job. And poor old Willie has his unforgiving fans mad at him because he is too old and frail to do a concert. Give him a break. Living the hard life he did abusing his body all those years... it is a wonder he is still alive. I love his music, and I thank him for it. Nice job on the portrait also.
  5. Very well done.
  6. Canada is were they were made before the manufacturing was moved overseas. What color is it? Some history an info here:
  7. It could be. I learned about it on a carving forum. Urethane, is that what high density foam is? From the look I was thinking for things like Alex Fox's neat patterns. I did figure that a 12" x 12" piece is a little more than BB. "EZboard is a high-density urethane (HDU) material produced in sheets of varying thickness and densities. There are several manufacturers of HDU. I found out that not all HDU is the same. Some are grittier and more porous than others. I carved on HDU with densities from 10 all the way up to 40. Basswood has a density in the 20-37 lb/cubic foot range. A piece of HDU board has the same density on the front, back, edges and ends! Every part is the same density so the entire piece can be carved! I found 15 lb density to be the overall best for a wide variety of carving."
  8. I just ran across this product this morning. I'm wondering if anyone has tried using it. I haven't read all the info so I do not know if there is an advantage to it over BB or the Hardboard. I do not know how it compares cost wise. I do not know if it can be glued... Need to read more. https://ezcarving.com/product/14-ezboard-scrollsawing-ornaments-and-more/

    Well, you have not lost your touch. Great cutting.
  14. As I stated in a earlier post, I gave my magnetic top for my Seyco away. I wanted to let you know the reason. I do detailed fret work and because of the detail I like to have as close to zero clearance for my blade as possible. On all my saws I make a top to go over my table top as JimErn does. In that top I drill about a 1 1/2" diameter hole where the blade goes through, and I make inserts that will fit in the hole. The inserts have a small hole for the blade to go through and I can replace the inserts as they wear out.
  15. Reading your description, I assumed they would be a lot more expensive. I like silence, so all the music stuff is unimportant to me, but I can see where most people would find it very nice. As for the phones, they are the rudest invention ever. They interrupt you know matter what you are doing. I refuse to let that happen. I do not answer the phone unless I am expecting a call I want to get or if it is not inconvenient for me. I hate it when I an talking to someone and they jump to answer the phone right in the middle of our conversation... I've been know to walk off, why not, the phone must be more important to the other person than talking to me. I know I was born in the wrong century! Sorry for the little rant.
  16. Really nice earrings. How in the heck do you "control burn" like that?
  17. I like it!
  18. Don, I think you are doing awesome work. It is obvious you are a perfectionists in your work. Great stuff.
  19. I usually have several things going. I don't call it "flitting", I just say I like to multi-process.

  21. WOW! Really nice.
  22. Very glad you are joining us. Look forward to get to know you better.
  23. Nicely cut!
  24. @TerryC you could buy the magnetic overlay for the Seyco, I think it is around $20. You might have to trim it a little because the Seyco table is a little bigger. I gave mine to @heppnerguy and he might tell us if it worked on his Ex. I really appreciate Ray even more now after reading yours and Travis' posts. I bought my Ex from Ray and my Seyco also and they were tuned perfect right out of the box. Packaged very well also.
