I have never tried anything like this. In my opinion I would get concerned about what would happen when the blades start to lose the sharpness. This would add the blades work and heat. I doubt they will expand or stretch the sme and this could cause a problem with the cut. Like I said I never tried this but the ways blades re-act to usage seems to be against this. Should be interesting to see what others say and what the out come of this is. Best of luck Ray. BTW interesting pattern.

I agree with @Bill WIlson. The prices here have dropped significantly. Which is quite the relief.

Your welcome. Let me know how it works out for you. You might have to fold the top part at the top pf the legs, Seems the "fold line" moved when I moved the round seat shape up. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Try this. 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 ( approx ) Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear your down. Wishing the two of you and fast and complete recovery.

I've seen that with the oak they sell too. Not sure who their supplier is but this is not right.

To my understanding they are supposed to be better then the type 2.Seen the listing if from York, PA. I liver about 4 hours from there. Wished I had the extra time to go for a road trip. Might be worth looking at.

A little food for thought. Ask more then you actually want. Then let them bargain it down to your true price. They feel the made a good deal an you get what you wanted. Kind of a win/win situation. Like I said just some food for thought..

Nice setup.

Good to see your name back on the list. Once things get settled I'm sure you'll be around more. In the meantime, just focus on what you need to do. Slowly everything will fall into place.

Great finds, happy for you. My wife is always looking out for such wood.

John The photos they show of the Excalibur's are photos of the ones made in Taiwan . The new ones are made in China which are not the best from what I have read. I would make sure the Excalibur's are the Taiwan models, which I seriously doubt. The first clue was the Knob in the very back. It sits higher on the Taiwan models and much lower in the Chinese ones.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July.

Did you check their web site? www.jettools.com.

If I calculated this correctly your angle of cut would be 18 degrees. 360 degrees in a circle, and 20 layers would work out as 360 / 20 = 18. You would need to calculate the circumference of each layer divide that by2 to get the radius of the circle to cut, then divide that in 2 to setup your compass to draw the next circle. Another way which is simpler would be to to take your compass. put it in the center of the piece you just cut on the shortest side. Keeping the it on the center expand the other side to meet the outer circumference of the piece you cut ( on the shorter side ). Once it is equal on both sides 180 apart you can draw your next circle to cut at 18 degrees. Repeat till all pieces are cut.

Nice, looks to be BB too. What a treasure and thanks for the tip. Never thought about that and have seen a lot of cribs being put out for trash.

The second one looks easier to read. Nice pattern, coming along very nice. Looking to see the final version. May have to cut one or two.

It all depends on the pattern and it's intended use. Some as is, some go through editing and resizing. Inkscape and Corel Draw work great for this.

Great job cutting and finishing. Like the pattern too.

Congrats Iggy 5 years is a short time to grow as much as you have. Hoping that continuing success stays with you and your endeavor. I know from looking back over the years as to where I started and where I am today. It is amazing how time flies things grow.

Thinking a little differently. For the fishing rod holders, use a jig saw to cut them and a router for doing the edges with round overs. Need to cut a straight line? Use guide it is pretty easy. Jig was are very versatile and a decent one with good blades will last a very long time. Mine is about 14 - 15 years old and still going strong with almost daily use. Band saws are great for cutting thicker wood, re-sawing boards and cutting curves. This band saw boxes. You are limited by the depth of the throat and the power of the motor. Scroll saws are quite versatile. They can cut delicate art to some more bulky items. The thicker the wood the slower you go and using the right blade. All things have a learning curve. For scrolling, this is the best place you could ever find. Great people willing to help and supply answers or suggestions. I use a scroll saw for a lot of things, I do have a good one though. Before investing a lot of money to get a decent tool sit down and think of the types of projects you want to do. Then get the best tool for the job you can afford. You can always grow and learn new things as you go along. I have been at this for a good while and still learn something each and everyday. So grab a coffee a comfy seat and give some serious thought as what you want to do. You will be much happier and satisfied in the end. One last thought. There is NO one tool that does everything never has been, never will be.

Depends on where it was made. The models made in Taiwan are good, the newer made in China not so much.

I use painters tape then spray the back of the pattern with 3M-77. Don't have any problems. I do believe the 45 is less money but have never use it.

You could make spacer blocks that would be hidden behind the artwork. Glue them in place and use a d-ring hanger for mounting.

Appreciate the notice of warning. There is a lot of this going on across the board.
