I am a little late with this, laptop giving me trouble, but most all of the long time scrollers know about this, if you attach Padauk to a lighter colored wood preseal both pieces first! The reason being that Padauk will bleed into the lighter wood! This happened to me a couple of times until I ask about this and was told how to finish before putting the two woods together! Erv

Outstanding work on all 3 projects!!! Erv

The one wood that I react to is Mahogany! I found that out when I was not using a face mask and was sneezing, nose running like a facet! Had not had any problem with woods before that so I started using a face mask like I should have been doing before! Erv

That is not a Steve Good pattern as it not in the Holiday or in the Novelties sections! I have seen this cut before but nothing said about who the designer was or where the pattern was located! Erv

I don't thank that trying to get a hold of Steve is going to work! Something has happen to him as he has not posted a new pattern for over two weeks and no one seems to know what has happened to him! Some one on his blog stated that he was having kidney stone problems and that is all I have been able to find out! You might try googling "Scroll Saw Artist" and check to see if Sue Mey might have what you are looking for! Erv

Where there is a will there is a way! That would not work here in NM, a sudden gust of wind and he would be flying! Got to give him credit for having a way to get the ply home and not paying for delivery charges! Erv

Could be a good market for your castings! Very colorful that's for sure! Erv

I don't know about everyone else and the thickness of lines on patterns but for myself the thinner the line the easier it is for myself to stay on line to make the cut! Now that may not sound right but with a thick line it is near imposable to stay in the middle to make the cut! With a thick line you have a choose as to cut on the left or cut on the right side of the line and that sometimes will make a difference in the outcome of what the pattern was meant to be! Now I understand that a lot of us older scrollers may not have the Eyesite we had in the younger days but for my self I will stay with the thinner lines! Erv

Ditto on all of the comments after having cataracts removed and now being farsighted instead of nearsighted! I had mine done about 3years ago and just need readers for anything closer than 12 to 18 inch's! I was nearsighted all of my life and it was a pain to go in every year and get a new prescription and was told that I would soon have to have the procedure done and the day finally arrived to have one eye done than about 2 weeks later the other eye was done! Now it is just once a year for a check up and no problems! I highly recommend the procedure! Erv

That truly belongs in everyone's workshop and especially in mine! I, at times, believe that my ruler and or tape measure moves what I measure and mark by shorting the measure a 1/4 inch or more! I really thank there are gremlins in my shop at times doing and moving items I just put down and its not there when I need it, than just a few minutes later I find it in a different place! I really like that sign and I may have to gather some already cut letters and make up one! Erv

This is similar to the Wen saws, the table, the blade holders appear to be the same. The tenson knob at the rear is different but the looks are much the same. Seems to be priced along with the Wen's! Erv

Beautiful job on the cutting and especially the railing! Have never seen one in person, as we are lucky to have rivers that still flow here in NM! Erv

Great job on your cutting and 10 - 4 on lots of sanding! I have done my share on fret works of the past! Erv

Brilliant use of left overs! That is a very good reason to save the pieces from the intense fret work designs! Erv

Understand the mowing of grass in between the monsoon rains! I only have a half yard this year to mow as the rains came way to late this year, but then that is more time in the shop! Once again, thank yor for your help! Erv
