I pretty much use the #5 mgt for everything. I've tried using other blades but they just don't perform for me in the woods that I cut. So far mostly maple, walnut, poplar, mahogany, red oak.

Dave, when I took the marquetry class, we used a 2/0 and a number 68 drill bit if I recall. I'm going to order some Pegas #1 mgt blades for any inlay work that I might do that is not super thin. For the super thin, I'll stick to the 2/0. This is not meant to be anything more than info.

Belt sander? Try to flatten them.

Les, what part of boiled linseed OIL did you not understand?
-
They are awards that Travis gives out for reasons only he knows. He is the creator/admin of SSV.

Excellent job. I like your work.
-
I sure wish we had something like that near where I live. It seems like the Mississippi River is the division between the West and all the great woodworking shows/schools. Nothing at all near me.
-
That's a great deal. I'd be all over that one.
-
Sadly yes. They say we can only have the "unrefined" stuff that stinks.
-
Go ahead Les, whatcha got?
-
At least you were able to buy it. I live in "The People's Republic of Orange County" and we are not allowed to own MS. Even the "green" kind. SAD!
-
Where are you located? I watch Craigslist every day and there are many great deals near me. But I live in a very populous area of So. Cal. If I see something I could let you know if you are within driving distance.

My family has no idea what I do.

I like it. And I love the decoration!

As I said.....

I bought a 60 tube/rack system from Amazon for about $18. What I found was that I couldn't see any of the tubes except the front row. I also have too many brands/types of blades. I'm going to make a storage rack that will have 2 rows of holes with the back row being elevated enough to see it. Most of the blades that I have will never get used as I have pretty much decided that Pegas MGT will fill my needs. I will probably donate the other blades to a club or school. I am a fish when it comes to buying blades. If someone raves about a blade, I order some. But now I have a bunch that I will never use. I also inherited a bunch of PS Woods that were highly recommended by some folks and I was excited about. But I don't find that they work all that great. Especially at the price they get for them.

I only put a tube with the blades I'm using at the time. One hole gets used. All others remain empty.

Sometimes life gets in the way of fun.

Yeah! We were some of them. We lived in Woodland Park at 8500 feet. Our house was in the trees. We lived in fear of the idiot across the road from us. He liked to burn his trash in an open pit on windy days. A couple of years after we moved from there, a woman ranger started a small fire to burn a "dear jane" letter and burned up 133,000 acres. Didn't get our house though. Very close.

I can't believe that folks still build homes in those areas. Where we live all we have to worry about is a tsunami. And earthquakes? I've lived through every one since 1952 with not even cracked plaster.

Sign and date it too. I have the very first thing I scrolled, other than the practice patterns, hanging in my shop. It's great to be able to look back at your first attempt.
-
That's great news Charley. They are doing amazing things now. I only hope that nobody "hacks" your heart. Lol.
-
Maybe for "slant" drilling?

@Tammi, I'm not sure whether you have been welcomed here yet. I'm not familiar with your name but just in case, I wanted to say "Welcome to the Village", the friendliest place on the internet. You did a great job on your first project. You can only get better on each project you make. Thanks for the formula for your finish also.

Cats are cool. We have 2 now but we have been as high as 11 when 2 of ours had kittens.
