  1. It probably is cedar, got some from a neighbour after he did some deck work. Couldn't think of it at the time of posting!!!
  2. One dragon cut from three types of wood. Poplar, walnut and not sure at all....lol.
  3. I only do two at a time.
  4. I purchased the pattern book fron Steve Good.
  5. I had thought about that but worry that the wax will melt over the picture. Might try parchment paper. Or maybe just cut one at a time!!
  6. According to the "Ice Patrol" guy, ice isn't expected to clear until mid May. Heading up tomorrow to show our boat and look at another - going for an upgrade.
  7. Some of the cutting I have done. Have been trying to stack cut with paper between. The paper is getting stuck as the glue softens when cutting. Have to spend time cleaning the paper off. Sometimes it comes away no problem. Other times, not so much. These are my own photos take at Lake of the Woods. 7x5 size 81 pieces. Photo glued to 1/4" ply, finished the back, light spray of finish over the photos. It takes about 2.5 hours to cut using the Niqua 2/0 puzzle blades.
  8. Both have oops! One of the layers was glued up the wrong way (according to the picture that Steve Good provided)
  9. Finnaly got them finished! One for my grandson, the other because it was stack cut. My oops, I am calling artistic license!!! Lol
  10. Welcome to the village. I had problems with my Dewalt earlier. The service center here (Canada) had a flat rate fee of $320 to fix the saw. Got it back, but was unfortunately not repaired. Turns out it was a good thing. After sending it back again, they couldn't figure out what was wrong and replaced it with a brand new machine, warranty and all. Maybe a thought for your Dewalt.
  11. Wow, that is absolutely amazing. Beautiful workmanship.
  12. 1/4 Baltic Birch ply, although I am really beginning to question if it is bb or just ply. Therer seems to be a few more patches in it than I thought bb ply should have
  13. Got these done finally. Stack cut. Took about 2 1/2 hours to cut, using a Pegas #1 MG . High gloss spray paint for the black.
  14. My Grandson turns one tomorrow. Made this for the cake. I didn't have a wide enough piece of wood, so I glued skewers to the back. Sprayed with a finish called TintIT. It provides a gold shimmer to the wood with a sheer colour. You can spray numerous times to get the tint a little darker. Will definitely be trying for ornaments.
  15. I was going to ask the same thing. My saw sits on a very unlevel floor, big angle to the drain. I personally just take a protractor from the kids old geometry sets and hold it behind and then beside the blade.
  16. It's interesting, I was reading a blog about the dewalt 788 and someone having issues about the blade not fitting well. The new one has been a bit of a different fit from the old one but I didn't think much about it until I read the posting. Haven't been on the saw since I read the posting but will take a good look at it next time i am working. It takes a bit more time to place the blade just right.
  17. I happen to like it. It won't be displayed in our place, just a piece that if and when I go into a show will be for sale!!!
  18. Had cut this in December. Finally got around to mounting it. Mounted on tongue & groove pine. i was going for a "cottage" look. Hubby isn't so fond of the look - thoughts??? Put spacers behind to raise it. Copper nails to accent. Finish is spray lacquer.
  19. That sounds interesting - does it give you good control??
  20. I try to keep the pattern line to the right of my blade so not sure what direction I cut
  21. Thanks, i was typing scrollerltd☺
  22. Is it possible for you to put the link in for the pattern. I keep getting redirected to a "weird" place.
  23. Had time over the last couple of weekends to get some sawdust made after getting my two new saws. Used the band saw to cut the outside of the triangle puzzles -- so much faster. Still have to do some light sanding and put finishes on all pieces. There was a few more pieces cut, just no photo.
  24. It is a flatmaster from Stockroom Supply in Ontario.
