I can see this working for pieces that are cut from within the stack like ornaments, but not for portraits. I too do not like blue tape on the bottom of the piece because of the friction and unevenness. What I do is clamp the stack in my bench vise then apply blue tape to just the edge of the stack. If needed, I’ll use an Excato knife to trim the tape. For stacks other than portraits, I use a hot glue gun to tack the edges only. Years ago, I used double stick tape between layers, but it was very difficult to separate the layers without breaking something.

So you are calling me an old fart, huh? Did you ever use the the word “psychedelic”? Or how about “Groovy”? Yes, I am an old fart! Actually, I think you did a great job saving the project!

You are progressing very nicely Dan! That came out great!
-
Something different Kevin, you did a great a Job!
-
Very nice project Edward, and a great tribute!
-
That came out great Gary! I guess you couldn’t fit in the third guy though, huh?
-
That is amazingly beautiful Dave!
-
She should love that!

They both look great Denny! I plan on cutting both as soon as I get some more wood. It looks like you cut the round holes in the Purpleheart one. I plan on drilling them to save time.

Very well done! Who’s pattern is that?

I received my shipment of FD blades today. The first thing I noticed is on the #5, the crimp is not visible, however I could feel the crimp. I installed the #5 in my saw and tensioned it up. I took a scrap piece of 3/4” Mahogany and drew a 1 1/2” circle. A circle is the hardest thing for me to cut accurately. The blade cut exactly as I expected it too. It tracked perfectly. No problems whatsoever !
-
This can not be done with the FD Ultra Reverse blades because of the teeth configuration, hence the reason for the crimp to identify the top of the blade.
-
If it has no crimp, it must be defective. Try turning the blade around and see what happens.
-
UR indicates Ultra Reverse. These are Flying Dutchman or Niqua blades. I use these blades everyday and have not had a problem. Any chance you had the blade upside down? My blades are several months old. How old are yours? I should be getting a supply tomorrow. I’ll check them out and see how they work when they arrive.

Got this chair from Amazon about two years ago and it’s been great. Adjusts low enough to have your feet flat on the ground and as high as 34”. The foot rest is adjustable as well as the back. The seat is very comfortable as well as the back. The wheels move smoothly along the concrete floor and the rubber floor mats.

Another thought might be to check out the sites that cater to laser patterns. I don’t know of any personally, but Steve good is always talking about them.

Very nice Charlie, it looks just like him!

If you have a smart phone, you can take a selfie!

As you probably know Ray, these kits are laser cut. I am not aware of any plans. I think those kits are not that expensive. It might be worth it to buy the kit and draw patterns from the existing parts. Just a thought.

Nice job Marg! I loved him in movie THE PRINCESS BRIDE.
-
Congratulations Les, looks like a real prize!
-
Nice work Marg! Are you selling them or are they gifts?
-
Great looking wood and a very nice project! I almost chocked from cigarette smoke on the last picture though.
-
Very nice!
