  1. But some people don't have the facilities to cut wood like others . So good price for them.
  2. The puzzle cutting is one aspect of scroll work that I have no knowledge about at all. Looks like it would be fun and your certainly look very nice. Do people buy patterns for cutting the pieces, or do they all make them on computers like you do or do some just start cutting them "free hand"? Sooo much to learn and soooo little time.
  3. Very well done.
  4. I believe it will turn gray over time. I'd talk to a boat person. Lot's of teak is used on boats. I think there is a Teak Oil for it, but like all outside stuff it has to be reapplied occasionally. Never mind! Early in the morning and only my first cup of coffee. I read Cypress, when I pressed reply, by brain turned to Teak..... forget what I said above. I will now start on my second cup of coffee.
  5. Looks very nice.
  6. YA, did a great job, pardner....
  7. Pretty good price, Ocooch Hardwoods it is $2.50 for 3/8" x 12" x 12", plus shipping.
  8. I have two bench mount magnifying/light thingys. one is florescent the other LED. The LED on cost more than twice the florescent, but I like it much better. But i still have to fiddle with adjusting it but I am use to that. The LED on has glass lenses versa plastic which is a big difference. I have not tried the head piece thing.
  9. I'm thinking the "painless blades" is what is being pointed out here. I see a lot of mistakes like this in book, online news and and all sorts of things. Editors relying on a spell check, that only checks the spelling but if the wrong word is used, but the word is spelled correctly it is not flagged.. One of the draw backs of automation and everyone in a big hurry to get.... nowhere.
  10. Doesn't Travis have a site that sell simple patterns for animal puzzles?
  11. I really like that! Very well done. Great choice of woods.
  12. Very nice!
  13. Golly Monk, you are a very talented man. That looked like it would be a very difficult portrait, with so many people, and your really did a great job of it. Very nice work all the way around.
  14. That is great. Put a smile on my face also.
  15. Very well done for sure. The lightening had to be pretty tricky.
  16. Dave, another beautiful job. Hope you have a great stay with the Grandkids.

    Well done sir! I think you have moved on past the learning stage with the 3/0 spirals. The pattern came from Arpop blog in the wildlife section. I know because I downloaded it about a week ago...
  18. Very well done.
  19. Looks great, Dick. I like it colored like that.
  20. Welcome aboard. Gilroy, Ca. I have a niece that lives there.

  23. Welcome to the forum, glad you found us. Lots of threads on here about blades, but it really come down to what you want to saw and what works best for you. There are some good articles at www.Mikesworkshop.com which are worth reading. Heppnerguy is right, blades are an expendable item. They get dull, they break. I by the ones I like by the "gross".
  24. They look great.
  25. There are three sellers on Ebay I have dealt with several time. I buy cherry and maple boards from them that I glue up to make scroll pictures from. The don't sell the size you are looking for, but you could email them and ask. I have received nice stock from all of them and have been given good service. The sellers are: mainhardwood deer56hunter csmdeals88 Might be worth a try.
