    You are probably right but they did have thinner for a while. Not sure what they have now. One of these days I'll cross the line into L.A. County. Just never get that direction. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks Dan. Great info. Up til now I've dipped everything in Watco oil but it takes at least 3 days to dry enough prior to spraying with Zinnser's shellac. Since HD doesn't sell MS nearby, would mixing paint thinner be ok? I'd like to try the boiled linseed oil once my Watcos is gone.

    Thanks Danny. Maybe I'm thinking too small. I'm still living in the last decade or so. I do use good wood. I buy all my wood from a yard that specializes in scroll saw folks. Chris, he guy who runs their online operation, always fixes me up with a box of scraps/cutoffs that they can't sell. So a trip out there is always like Christmas. You can't imagine how much purple heart I have just waiting for the right project. If you ever need great wood at a great price, check out cherokee Wood Products.

    Danny, I've got 3 patterns and chose this one to try out. I made the first one full size, the second one is the shortest and the 3rd one will be mid-size. My wife wanted a full set to sit on our kitchen counter. Anyway, to my point. I'm going to make them in sets of 3 and see what the market will bear. Knowing what folks are willing to pay for things that are home-made does give me the incentive to try more. It's coming to mind that people are starting to want quality instead of the Chinese crap that is everywhere and are will to pay for it. So, with that in mind, I'm going to start these out at $149.95 for a set including the battery operated candles. Plus shipping of course. I'm not going to use Etsy either. Why give them a share of the profits? Just my 2 cents.

    Ok, no more candle holders. I promise. I'll find something else to overdo.

    When you lift your saw, use the motor and the front edge of the table as lift points. DO NOT lift by the upper arm.

    Great work Kevin. As always!

    That sure seems like a great price if it's as good as a Hegner.
  9. OCtoolguy
    Wow! That's beautiful!

    Great job Frank. I love all of the "Tree of Life" patterns that have been done but yours stands out from the others.
  11. OCtoolguy
    I took the pattern from the last one and shrunk it down so I could use one of the short candles that came in the set. This one is 4 inches but I have a 2 & 3 also. Not sure yet which one will look better. Gotta wait for dark.

    I bought some nice parchment type paper and made up some stationary with my name and added "Esq" to my name. It gives the impression that I'm an attorney. When I write a letter, it seems to be taken seriously. Luckily I don't have many opportunities to use them.

    I'm not sure how that compares to U.S. dollars but if it's anywhere close that would be a great price. It makes me wonder how much we are being taxed here and not informed.
  14. OCtoolguy
    I'm curious. How much do they cost. Here in the states anywhere from $1500 to $2000 for an 18 inch.
  15. OCtoolguy
    Try 3M45. It might not be as sticky. Also, use 1/10 th the amount you think you need.
  16. OCtoolguy
    Clamp it to the picnic bench. They're plenty heavy.

    One of my favorite movies.
  18. OCtoolguy
    That one is on my list. Patterns printed. You did a great job.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Much appreciated. Thanks. Time for some research I guess. Always something.
  20. OCtoolguy
    How long does it take to set it up and do all the adjusting? I've never used one so any info is appreciated. I might want one if that's the case.
  21. OCtoolguy
    And both very well done.

    I have a Dewalt 12" compound and it's heavy. If I buy the Ridgid, I'm going to get the matching stand and it will be in one spot but easily moved.

    Now that I think back, when I brought my 226 Ultra home it had an oxidized table. I used my ROS sander with 220 paper to clean it up. Then I hit it with a couple coats of Johnson's. No more oxidation.
  24. OCtoolguy
    When I had mine I just kept it clean & waxed.

    I envy you folks who have the space for lasers & CNC machines etc.
