One hole at a time!

Beautiful rendition of a Steve Good pattern Les! I have cut two of them. Be warned that it is extremely fragile, especially where the upright of the stand meets the body. DAHIKT.

The Unisaw actually has three belts, all in a row that turn the trunnion, which turns the blade.

You can always come up and use mine Ray!

Looks good Dave! I’d take a picture of my set up, buts it’s tucked up between my clamp rack and a storage table. I only use it for my ROS, so the vac filter only needs to be cleaned once a year, weather it needs it or not! That’s how effective the Dust Deputy is!

Happy Happy Ray ! you know dad is going to move this thread to the coffee house as soon as he sees it don’t ya?

Great looking work John!

Great job Marg!

It’s an interesting idea Les. I’m curious to see how it looks stained or painted.

Welcome to the Village David! Ray above gave you some good advise. I’m on my third DeWALT in 25 years. My current saw is starting to show signs of wear. I just ordered a Pegas from @Denny Knappen. Looking forward to my new saw!

Love it!

Beautiful Brenda! Very nice scrolling!

We do.....although I drive a company truck!

Nice job!

Well Frank, for your first try, I think it came out great! Lots of room for improvement and innovation.

Nice sentiment Ray!

Welcome to the Village Forrest! I have done several Dearing patterns. Mostly done with flat blades, but a few cuts with spirals.

I make small animal puzzles as giveaways. I originally cut these as giveaways at shows, but since there were no shows this year, I sent them as free gifts with orders from my Etsy store.

Amending my reply above, I also have Delta 12” bench top drill press. I have had it about twenty years also. Have never had any issue with it. In fact it still has the original belt.

Very nice, I like them both!

Delta used to produce some great products. I own an American made Delta Unisaw, bought new about twenty years ago. It is the best power tool I own. I also own a Delta 6” jointer which is the second best tool I own. Delta has been sold, bought and sold again so many times that it is no longer the same company it once was. At this point, I don’t think Delta produces any tools themselves, they just contract out like so many other companies. I remember reading an article in Wood Magazine many years ago. It talked about how different tool companies have their tools made at the same factories as other tool companies. It showed pictures of manufacturing lines with tools rolling off, with different colors and labels, but the same tools. The article also talked about quality control was up to the tool company. Some tool companies have better quality requirements than others. They even have their own quality control personnel on site, others don’t. Obviously, Delta no longer has good quality control. The name used to mean you were getting a quality tool, no longer is this true!

Nice gaggle of gnomes Pete!

Very nice!

Wow, the actual car is not very attractive, however your rendition is great!

Great work Marg! I remember that trip Too! I meet Marg and her family. I had lunch with her and Terry at my favorite restaurant in Moorpark, Ca. Here’s a picture of Marg and I, and her and her hubby Terry.
