Very nice.
-
Or, how about making serving trays out of them. I think a "rustic" tray would sell well. I'd plane them all to the same thickness, on the bottom of the slats though so that the wine stained wood would be on top.
-
How about using the glued up panels as backboards for sayings with cutout letters or words of different fonts? If you have enough of them you are in a new business.
-
You all are too kind. Thank you for putting up with me.
-
A couple flower vases. I found some patterns I like but gotta change em up a bit.
-
Done! Except for a coat or 2 of Zinnser's shellac.
-
Short boards usually snipe more than long ones.
-
John, you sly dog! Take a bow. I've learned so much from doing your patterns I can't begin to thank you enough. I do look forward to possibly becoming one of you makers. I'm still waiting for the patterns to arrive.

Make a planer bed our of melamine. There are videos on how to make one. You need more support than what the planers give you.
-
You said it correctly. That's what I meant but phrased it wrong.
-
Let me clear up what I wrote. I said that the 2 pattern sides had to be square to each other. Wrong! All 4 sides must be square. The side that is down and in contact with the table is what dictates how perpendicular the cutting is to the blade so it must be parallel to the top side. As to the question of how much extra wood you have that is not part of the pattern, it just makes sense to trim off the excess so as not to be cutting wood unnecessarily.
-
Makes no difference at all. As long as your block is perfectly 90 degrees on the two faces your pattern is on and your fold line is exactly on that square edge.

4 sanded & glued.
-
2 down, 2 to go. Lots of finish sanding, fitting then gluing. Fun!
-
I've only used lacquer once on a special project and was advised that Deft was the best in aerosol. I used the semi-gloss and was very happy with it. A top coat, quick sanding with 400 and a second coat.
-
I don't do puzzles but I top coat most everything I make. after danish oil I spray a coat or 2 of Zinnser's spray shellac. Give it a try.
-
Yes, thanks are in order for all you do.
-
Congrats on the new GGS.

I found it in quite a few places here near ne but they sell it in the long lengths required for "redecking" truck trailers. Only one place offers boxes of cutoffs and not always available. One of these days I'm hoping I get a call. -
It was a typo. Should have been apitong. He never talked about it in any of his videos. I contacted him and asked about the wood he used in many of his projects. He wrote back to me and explained that a friend gives him lots of scraps from whatever they use it for in Japan. Sorry.
-
I watch a series of Japanese videos by OHYO56 and he uses apitoa. It's used here in the U.S. for truck trailer flooring. Very tough wood and appears to be similar to dark mahogany but harder. I've been trying to find some that isn't 16 feet long and 2" thick. I may have found a place that will sell cutoffs. I'll keep you posted.

You should see the scars on my back!

Come over. I also give lessons.

DeWalt Planer Chip / Dust Collection?
OCtoolguy replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Sounds perfect to me. No dust collection system needed. A broom, a sack and a hose. Done. -
Update! I have now completed all the cutting and it's on to the sanding, assembly and finish. This represents about 40 hours so far. I can't do more than 2 of the sides at a time or my eyes fall out onto my cheeks. Very intensive up close cutting. I used a combination of # 1, 3, 5 Pegas MGT blades for all of it.
