    I have only put glass on the last picture I made. I really liked the glass, but I am not a good glass cutter and to have to buy it cut to size can get expensive. I want to learn to cut my own glass, need to watch some videos..... I do make frames, the wood I use is usually scrape wood especially if I am painting them. I have not made any fancy ones, would like to get some router bits for that purpose. I made these jigs: clamping jig:it works good but does take come fiddling to get it set up for the size frame being made. Cutting jig, works very well.

    Les, if you prefer not to purchase a new bit, you could cut the holder on the band saw, so you cut the holes drilled in the middle, then glue the pieces back together. The would reduce the size of the holes some. Try on a scrap piece first.

    I doubt it, you would probably have to buy from internet. But you will probably have to buy a 17mm Forstner bit throught the internet also. These are the ones I purchased from e-bay $6.27 for a pack of 25 free shipping...... can you beat that?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Pack-16-x-150-mm-Clear-Plastic-Test-Tubes-with-Blue-Caps-6-inch/121693675627?hash=item1c5582206b:g:bkEAAOSw9N1VlMpc

    Nice cutting.

    Fine job Kevin as usual for you. The little "bushy tailed rats", I must admit are cute.

    Nice job, and congratulations.

    Well, the point of the post is to point out that things don't always work out as you hope... You could use one of these in a bradpoint, or regular twist bit, might be cheaper than a Forstner bit. 41/64" (0.6406) (+0.0006) 21/32" (0.6563) (+0.0163)

    Both beautiful. I must do the first one.

    Welcome to the village.

    I use X-acto knives the one like below to cut patters to the size I want to glue to the wood, clean fuzzies where the sanding will not reach, open the plastic bags the blades come in, clean wood out of cutouts, scrape things. I use one often. A bigger handle with this blade to clean glue, as a small chisel, remove patterns from the wood. I have also found I can easily sharpen the blades so I don't have to buy them often. I have a set of the little "Dia-sharp" diamond cards and I can sharpen these blade to sharper than they were new. Fact the blades I'm using now have been in my handles over a year and still work fine.

    Very nice sign. I'm thinking you will have some requests from local business for some similar. Good work.

    You certainly have come up it a unique way to create pieces. Clever, I must say. Nice work.

    And yes you did just post this one. Great job. That is really beautiful. I'm thinking you should get some FD 3/0 New Spiral blades for this thin of wood... They they you will like them.. I do like the Pegas 2/0 spiral, been using it on one I am working on.

    Nice work Kevin. I really like that rose. May have to dig up that pattern.

    When our Grandson stayed with us for a week last summer we did these. I did most the cutting but I did let him do some on the saw. He picked the subject from images on the internet. We printer them glued them to the wood and cut. I left the patterns on and let him color the one that is not all black. He had a great time and displays them proudly in his bedroom. He was just here last weekend for a visit and first thing he wanted to do was print out some more characters to scroll. Unfortunately it didn't happen. We had a big wind storm and I had to get my huge Blue Spruce out of my neighbors grapes......

    I bet those are big sellers!

    Great job! I love the scene. Never heard of SawBird blades before.

    Nice job!

    The only spiral I use to us was the FD New Spiral in the 3/0 size. A while back I tried a Pegas 2/0 spiral and it work very well for me. More aggressive than the FD 3/0 but very controllable for me. Those are the only two spirals I use. I do not care for bigger sizes. Kevin, you are correct, the sample pack is the way to go.

    Right or wrong, I stand by my initial guesses err, knowledgeable inputs.

    Beautiful piece. I hope you add her to the "Pattern Shops" list in the resource library.

    I tried several configurations with my miter gauge and saw fence and just could not come up with a very accurate, repeatable, and safe method. Then I remembered my picture frame jig I had hanging on the wall. I made it sever years ago. It worked great. I add a the stripes of wood to work as stop with double sided tape. With this I cut a triangle, flipped the wood over and cut the next triangle. There are times I wish I wouldn't have flipped the wood, so the grain would have match better, (same side of the wood up). I now have something I am going to try next time so I can move the wood from the left to the right side of the jig to cut the next triangle. I would also like to make a similar jig with a 60 degree angle to making diamonds. I always enjoy jig making.

    That really is an awesome piece of cutting, finishing and framing!
  24. Scrappile
    Very well done piece. You should be very proud of it and the family must treasure it.

    I use various X-Acto knives a lot.
