    Not sure what I did wrong but it should be fixed now.

    I hope you can see these. In the first picture the sweet lady had just finished making 6 urns. As you can tell she was fighting cancer. She passed about a month later. She was a fellow scroller by heart and a very special person. On the side of the urn you see a circle. We have laser engraved inserts (made and donated by another one of our members) we put in there representing the branch of service of the vet. Most of the boxes are made of cypress that was also donated by one of our members. The second picture shows the inserts we use. The final picture shows one of our members presenting an urn to the family of a vet. All the urns are provided totally free of charge. The name of my group is NC Woodworker (Ncwoodworker.net). We are open to any wood worker in NC (or has a connection to NC) and all the states that border NC (VA, GA, SC, TN, WV). And we are free.

    Yes I saw and even played with the upper clamp on Jet. For me making a bottom clamp like that would have the most value. That is the one I have the most issues with when the arthritic hand is acting up.

    Wish someone would invent and produce a cam/lever clamp for the top and bottom clamps for all popular saws. When my arthritis in my thumb acts up working a thumb screw is not fun.

    Thanks Brian. I have been using a toilet paper tube as a quick guide.

    You know the tip of that thumb screw is a replaceable insert. You can get the insert from Seyco or e-replacement. Dewalt, some Delta saws, and the Ex type saws use the same thumb screw and insert.

    I belong to an organization called NC Woodworkers. We make cremation boxes for Vets. They are 9 x 9 and sized to be accepted in Arlington or any veteran cemetery. What are you looking for?

    I have a newer EX purchased in January 2016. It came from the factory with a extra lever.

    How big and thick are those? Per the info in Amazon they are 5" tall and 1/2" thick. If that is really true you can cut your own.

    Sorry Paul I do not have a magic solution. I am posting this information for education purposes. Like most lumber there are numerous grades of Baltic Birch. There are several factors that are used in lumber grading but defects is a major one. The higher the grade the more the cost. Most retail suppliers in the US will only stock one or two grades. Here is a link to help folks understand better: https://www.wolstenholme.com/plywood-products/baltic-birch/grading/

    This is a gift a made for my youngest daughter. Unlike the nativity I posted above. This was done on time. This is her favorite song.

    Finished this on New Year's Eve. It was a Christmas present for my wife. This is only the 3rd intarsia project I did. My wife collects nativity sets and this one will be out year round.

    I have that Hawk that I bought used in 2008 and paid $750 back then. Will sell for $500 but you need to come get it.

    John T you can try segmentation. This is a wolf cut from a piece of maple. I believe I used three different stains to achieve these results. The pattern came from a book by Patrick Spielman and Kerry Shirts called Scroll Saw Art. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0806928972/ref=tmm_pap_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=&sr=

    For 3/4" I start out with a #5 but will go down to a #1 if I think the cut needs it. It is not unusual for me to use 2 or 3 blade sizes on a project. Your comment on getting in trouble posting a picture of the finished project interests me. We here at the Village and at the other major scroll saw forum do it all the time. Tell us more please.

    I learned a simple trick from the late Dirk Boelman. He took a 1" trim roller and replaced the roller with a piece of foam pipe insulation . I squeeze out some wood glue on a piece of wax paper roll it out with the trim roller and then apply to my work pieces. The most important thing you want to do is apply a coat of glue on the entire surface you are gluing.
