Cutting in the same direction will either raise or lower your lettering. Play with some scrap pieces and get a feel for it. I am sure a lot of us have been there especially myself.

Welcome to the village. Your work looks good. I have a PC saw as my back up. Found tension and speed, feed to correct it. Keep up the great work.

Loved the photos. Always great to meet people you may never get the opportunity under different circumstances. Some memories are priceless.

Thanks Travis. Missing the people of the village is like not talking with family and close friends. Thank you for your dedication and patience dealing with things that are a mystery. Thanks also for the explanation too.

As Dan said. Both are very hard woods and very dense. Covering with packing tape will help lubricate the blade some. As for the size of the blade. I can't really help there, but doing 3/4" inlay will be a difficult task. One I have never tried. Blade and feed speed are key things when cutting dense hard wood. Hopefully someone can help you more.

I have the Dremel router setup. I find it nice to get into smaller areas due to the size of the bit. I also have a ridgid small router and use it daily for rounding edges and the like. I would look into a rotozip, it's heavier built then the dremel and still takes a 1/8 collet. I don't think they make a router style base for it but shouldn't be too hard to create one..

My Youtube video efforts, shall I or not?
WayneMahler replied to scrimper's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Nice videos and beautiful dog. Sorry to hear about his health though. Tough losing a family member. I love German Shepherds, just don't have enough room for them to run and get proper exercise. So I have to Pembroke Welsh Corgis. -
I just wipe ine down with a clean rag. Never had to sand them or anything else.

I do a lot of work in oak. When finished it gives a nice warm glow and effect. I also enjoy Cherry, Maple, Western Red Cedar and black walnut. For me it depends on the job at hand. I have not played a lot with poplar yet have a bunch in my shop. For portraits and the like, It's Baltic Birch.

I run an EX-21. But have found if I clean the blade holders it helps a lot. I clean my blades before installing but I have cleaned machining oil from the holders and clamps. Maybe try this ?

Kevin with out photos is there any proof? LOL

Kevin The more effort ad work we all put into something it seem the profit margin drops significantly. Still trying to figure out the right ratio.

My wife has started to paint some of my work. I don't care for it. But it seems some folks like it. Not much help just the experience I have had.
-
I got the same email. Haven't been there to check it out. Have ordered many times from Mike's and it was always quick shipping.
-
Normally I just use my table saw.

Charlie has a great point. This works as long as you have the equipment to test. If have access to an ohm meter it would best for a digital. Watching a needle sweep on an analog may mislead you as you turn the motor over. Keep us posted on the progress you make please.

He was having trouble with his computer before. Maybe acting up again?
-
Thanks for sharing. I made mine not movable though. Food for thought next tme
-
Pack your own tools. Moving companies don't understand them. Congrats on the move. Having a setup for things helps makes it a bit easier. This is something the wife and I are talking about. Our move will be about 1600 miles though. Good luck with everything.

Simply a beautiful plaque and phrase. Thanks Dave.

Need advise about a thinkness planer
WayneMahler replied to GrampaJim's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Scrappile is right about the planer. It will not flatten a warped board. The cupping is caused by uneven drying. If the cupping is severe you may not be able to salvage piece. The way I understand it, the wetting of one side or section was for plywood, I may be wrong on this. I would try soaking the piece and adding weight to the areas that are cupped. You have nothing to lose if the piece is short. On thicker pieces I use a hand plane to remove the cupping then can run it through my planer to a desired thickness. Personally I don't like losing exotic woods in my shop. When I stack my stock, I keep the thinner pieces on the bottom, this keeps weight on it and helps prevent cupping. It is a pain to move a lot of stock to get the piece(s) you want but seems to save on wasted pieces you can not use. Hope you find the ideal answer and manage to save all you can. I'm sure others will chime in also with different ideas. -
I made one for one of my saws. I used 1/8 inch hardboard. Cut to shape and carpet taped it down. Now I just use a business card or other flat cardboard and tape into place.It's quick easy and cheap.

Kevin looking forward to a few finihed photos. Keet it up dude, looks interesting.
-
Kevin Seen a lot of these and they are cute. Some bigger some smaller.Can you share a photo of what you have in mind ? Might help understand better what your looking for.
-
Well done. Looks realistic and a great way to save some wood. Good job.
