    Can only state whats been stated. Someone is looking for in-experienced and a thick wallet. Makes me wonder what the bearings are like. Just my thoughts.

    Jim If you can get white oak it would be a better choice. It is a lot more rot and weather resistant then it's red oak cousin. Cedar is my #1 choice but I'm not suffering from an allergy to it. Other great choices would be Ipe, Cypress and Redwood. Good luck with you project, post a photo when you complete it please.

    On small projects I use spray cans. If I am doing a batch and or larger items I use the hvlp.

    I agree 100 %. The village is a great place to learn and share. And as Kevin said, we get to see other ways of doing things.

    I have a ROS I use mostly. I have a Ridgid palm sander and I'm not all that much of a big fan, heavier and hard to control then my old Porter Cable. I used to have a Black and Decker Mouse that was great for fret work and getting into tight places for finish sanding. Light easy to guide and use. I replaced it with a multi function tool but it is heavier and a little more awkward in tight spaces.

    Prayers heading up today and every day for you and your bride. Also hoping for a quick but full recovery. Sounds like you have been ran through the ringer on this so please take it easy and know all good things will be coming.

    Been thinking about upgrading mine. I have T12 and T5 lighting in the shop now. Nice looking work area for you there.

    My son lives in Corpus Christi so when we go down to visit I drink DOS XX. Still seems really strange going to grocery store and buying beer and stuff down there. Hoping to visit again in 2 years.

    Looking good. I like the setup you did. Like your choice of beverage too, had a few of those last night.

    I'm jealous. Mine haven't expressed interest and it breaks my heart. They love what comes out but ...... Hopefully someday I will have a place to leave this to someone who has enough interest to carry on.

    Nice job cutting those. I love my EX and now that you got to spend some time with yours I'm sure you will also enjoy it very much. Just be careful on the smaller cuts. those little pieces can drop down and catch in the holes for the dust collection causing an issue with movement.

    Every show we do is a crap shoot. We did one today not a disaster but nothing to write home about. Did have several questions about the Eagles I do though. Maybe a direction to look into ?

    It is a great machine. Just not a one size fits all. Love mine and use the heck out of it but still lacks a few features I would love to see.

    I have one of these. It is not the answer to all things. Don't get me wrong I use it daily and love it. But as for doing certain tasks, it is not the best answer. A 1" belt has it's own place I just don't have the room for all the machines I want..

    Every show is basically a crap shoot. Hopefully the weather won't hurt you.

    First thought this was a joke. Then I read the 4 Easy Payments. Good Grief Charlie Brown.

    I have cut Plexiglas on the scroll saw. I used a skipped tooth blade and slowed the speed down so it didn't get hot and melt back together. I only did this once or twice so someone with more experience may be able to give you more advice.

    I do both also.

    Just looked at Amazon and they have a ton of listings for it.

    I get my glass from a local hardware store. It is one of those Mom and Pop places that's been around for generations. He does a great job and charges very little. As for using glass, it depends on the project, I have found that a lot of people prefer the glass though. Making frames isn't too bad, I have to be in the right frame of mind to do it. Most of it ( simple ones ) can be done on a table saw. You can also use a router for more shapes and styles of frames.

    Nice work.

    Best to let the blade do the work. Apply enough pressure to let the blade cut at a steady pace while moving and guiding the piece along. Also use a #3 UR is not a very good idea. The blade has a reversed tooth every third tooth so it cut on the up stroke. This tooth keeps the saw dust from clearing properly in a deep cut slowing things down and helping to create more heat. This would actually apply to all the UR blades because of the geometry they are made by. A skip tooth blade will clear out the kerf and run cooler and longer but leave a rougher surface for clean up.

    I only use one coat of oil, wipe it down and let it dry over night. Then I'll shoot it with poly or lacquer depending on the project. If you use a spray can you may need 3 coats of poly depending on your habits, I prefer light coats coming out of my guns and lightly sand between coats. Also depending on the project I'll shoot up to 5 coats on it. It gives it a perfectly smooth surface and everyone ( my customers ) seems to like it that way.

    Salvaged the piece I screwed up. Reprinted the pattern cut out Grandma line and glued to the pattern already attached. Hate to lose that mu wood over something stupid. Lesson learned though, I took a marker and blacked out the unwanted letters on the other pattern. I did get that cut today, took a while and found out how fragile the outside is. Love the way it looks but very concerned about how fragile it is.
