    Hi Brian, welcome to the village. It's an honor to have you here! I love your guitar puzzle. It's one of my good sellers. I usually have at least two at each show I do and always sell out. Is the cross puzzle pattern available?

    Hi Mabel, welcome to the village! You want hear a high "ping" when you pluck the blade. If it goes "clunck", it's not tight enough. Don't worry about breaking the blade from to much tension. You will break more blades from not enough tension. Good luck!

    Beautiful work Steve, you should be proud!

    There is a chemical added to the adhesive that helps the tape from sticking to itself so you can unroll it. This substance lubricates the blade. My take is at some point in time, somone used tape to tape together a stack of boards and found it cut easier when he cut through the it. Then told the rest of us. Try it, you will be surprised.

    As long as you have obtained the pattern legitimately, you can make as many projects as you want and sell as many projects as you want. You do not have to credit the designer, but you can not credit yourself as the designer or sell the patterns or even give them away. The whole point here is someone claiming someone else's patern as theirs and selling them for a profit.

    Hey Ralph, you out there?

    Yup, using spiral blades is difficult to top feed. But it's a good tool to keep in your Arsenal of tricks.

    Good to hear Edward! Now go bowl a few strikes!

    Hey Chris "The Wood Artist", can you be more specific as to what is happening? I'm not a pattern designer, but I do use patterns that are provided here and other sites, and purchased. You don't need to name names, but what has set you off?

    The original Excalibur saws had an optional pedal to do just that!

    Good luck Edward! As for the bowling thing, my question to you is, could you bowl before?😳😅

    Just when I thought you where one of the good guys Steve!!😀😀

    Yup, been doing it that way for many years! Doing it that way eliminates the need for any kind of lift or holder upper.with a little practice, you don't need to look under the table to mount the blade to the lower blade clamp. I do it all by feel.

    Hey Ralph, have you got your saw back from DeWalt yet?
  17. dgman
    Guess what? The Excaliburs's are made in Tiawan too!!! It all comes down to the quality control of the Company buying the products.

    Oh my, that is stunning Paul! How many cuts?

    The reason we sand the ends of the blades to remove the residual oil on the blade that is there to help prevent rust on the blades. This oil will contribute to blade slippage. It's also advantages to sand the ends of the thumb screws. Look under Works in Progress and Tutorials for my post on a simple jig for blade slippage.

    Great work Marg!

    The TRIVET KING strikes again! Nice work Steve!

    Good news Edward!

    That's quite a control center! That should work for you nicely. I wouldn't apply the poly on your table though. It won't hold up to the constant contact with moving wood. If you want something more permanent, try Formica or something like that. But what I would recommend is waxing periodically.
