I purchased a can of 3M 77 at Home Depot in So. Ca. Just last week. The previous can of spray adhesive I had was Scotch brand 77. It did not work as well as 3M brand. I found myself having to tape sections of the pattern that lifted as I cut.

I agree with Milwaukee tools. I have a Makita 18v drill and an impact driver. I very rarely use them. I mostly use a Milwaukee 12v drill/driver 99% of the time . I also use a Milwaukee 18v 6 1/2” circular saw which i use to break down rough boards from the lumber store. I also use a Milwaukee 18v string trimmer with an edger attachment and a Milwaukee 18v blower. The Milwaukee tools work well and the batteries last a long time.

Yes, it is his new site. Etsy deleted his store because it is listed in a war zone, even though he doesn’t live there anymore.

Hi Michael, Welcome to the forum! If you are talking about the lower blade guard, you will need a T-25 Torx driver. You will find Torx drivers anywhere tools are sold like Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe’s or even car parts stores. Good luck!

Temu is a Chinese mail order site, Not a type of wood. I personally would never order anything from pop up adds.

Welcome to the Village! I am not familiar with that saw, but on most scroll saws you should be able to loosen the screws that hold the table to the saw. Then you can center the table to the blade. Good luck!

That is not a bad strategy for us woodworkers to hang our own stuff to a wall, but when you are making things for sale, you have to make it easy for the customer to hang it.

What I do when the screw is too long is I grind off the tip of the screw with my grinder. I use a gimbal ( I think that’s what it is called) with tape to mark the thickness of the wood to start the screw hole. I have also used E6000 to mount hangers with out any failures.

Years ago i was given a set of metal knurled blade clamp knobs for a DeWalt and EX type saws. I tried them for a few days. They weren’t any better than the originals and actually less comfortable. I passed them on to someone else. I saw recently that www.sayco.com has some round plastic knobs that might be more comfortable. Check them out.

I don’t have that problem. A top coat like lacquer prevents that from happening . I finish hundreds of items every year with this method without any oil bleeding out!
-
Yes! Because I sell online and in person, I feel they need a finish. First I soak them in a 50 50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Then after 24 hours I finish with spray lacquer. The lacquer dose not hinder the assembly of the puzzle pieces.
