  1. This is from Mikes Workshop page on the Ultra Reverse. Unique new scroll saw blade design. Every 3rd tooth reversed to prevent splintering on underside. Faster, smoother cut. These come with a crimp on the top of the blade to help with proper orientation in your saw. @Tom GI to answer your question, the crimp/bump is the top of the blade.
  2. Last year I started, in earnest, my Intarsia journey. These are a couple that I was particularly proud of. The Pelican was a pattern by JGR and one of the PAM projects. I found out I won that month a few days before Judy passed. The duck was a custom design, by me, for my baby sister's 60th birthday. The bouys and koi just "spoke" to me. The hummingbird was a prize from Steven Shears. He said it was an unpublished pattern and I was the first to cut it.
  3. Don't be fooled on the Pegas Modified Geometry blades. They seem to have a little notch in the blade. It is NOT the top. I have had, in the same package, some with the notch at the top and the bottom. The only sure way is to run your finger on the blade.
  4. Such a softie, Paul. Great job.
  5. The photo doesn't show the green very well.
  6. You are a braver person than I. It looks great. Love the Opal in the piece.
  7. What a great tip. Thanks.
  8. Thanks. I wish the poplar showed more green in the photo than it does in person.
  9. Well done. Love the background.
  10. Depends on what I am making. Currently into Intarsia so there are lots of woods used. For my puzzles I will use poplar. I purchased some poplar a couple of years ago. It was supposed to be dry, but had been cut a few days before I picked it up. I now have two very cupped boards that are unusable.
  11. I looked at it to make the ribbon ornaments. I thought the red/green would be nice. Just couldn't justify the cost.
  12. First complete project for 2025. Calla Lily pattern from Judy Gale Roberts, reduced to about 80%. Woods used: Poplar, White Oak, Maple and Aspen. Finished with Walrus Oil.
  13. Just throwing out an idea here, but something with a hidden magnet to unlock. I saw Alex Snodgrass make a bandsaw box with a magnet lock hidden. https://www.instagram.com/woodcraftsupply/reel/DDcr3LkSNNZ/ Maybe change to hearts.
  14. Have you tried sanding discs on the dremel. Like these https://ohcanadasupply.ca/product/dre413?.
  15. Great work. I think Botas has taken down his site so it is very hard to find his patterns.
  16. Beautiful. But damn-it Frank - stop creating such beautiful pieces that get on my must do list
  17. Another great pattern Frank. Thanks for posting. What wood would you have chosen for the reflection of the boat instead? I also thank you for posting your patterns. I will be downloading that.
  18. Thanks. Here is the link. https://www.stevedgood.com/butterflycut.pdf Sorry I was late to the replies. I usually only log in during my morning coffee.
  19. Congrats on the promotion!!!
  20. perfectly painted. those are great.
  21. At this point, I only sign my initials - BE. The way I write it, it flows together.
  22. I wear an Elipse Low profile mask. Purchased one through Wood Chuckers in the GTA area. The one I have now was from Lee Valley. It is also important to wear while doing the hand sanding. That creates lots of dust as well.
  23. I knew I wanted to do this when I first saw it. Steve Good pattern, reduced to 75%. Cut in live edge, reclaimed Elm. There is a knot that I had hoped would add interest. Part if the edge fell out. Used a #1 mg blade, finish is Walrus Oil. Now I have to decide if this is okay to sell!
  24. Not my idea of a good subject BUT, wow Frank, that painting is amazing!
  25. Very nice. If you do want to add colour, yes, the bow made red. Instead of painting, I would just take a red sharpie and draw on the top of the bow.
