  1. Ralph, this pattern should work. If done correctly, Kyle will be on the top and Busch will be on the side just like Brenda showed. One thing the pattern doesn’t have is a dotted line showing where to fold. It should be folded exactly down the center of the two names. Then apply adhesive and apply the pattern exactly along one edge of the blank. Make sure your blank is exactly square and most importantly, make sure your blade is a square to the table. If you want, I’ll test cut it for you to show you it will work. Let me know. For those that don’t know who he is, he is a NASCAR driver. He is one of those drivers that you either love him or you hate him. I’ll just say, I’m not a fan!
  2. Yes Dick, if you like it that’s all that counts, however, I think it looks great!
  3. Very cool Ron!
  4. Beautiful piece Charlie!
  5. I like that a lot! I’ll have to look at these.
  6. Trackman is an experienced woodworker and I know he knew what he was doing and knows what he did wrong. I trust this was a learning experience.
  7. Travis has spelled it out plain and simple. We are here because we like the friendship and camaraderie here. This is a forum for Scroll saw enthusiast. If we keep it friendly, all is well. If you want to discuss politics or religion, find another place to do it. Plain and simple!
  8. Good that you are expanding your comfort zone! I know this is a specific project but it will be easier cutting if you stack cut.
  9. Personally, I don’t participate in these. Since you are making several of these projects, make several of each color.
  10. Welcome back Barry! It just hasn’t been the same without you!
  11. Welcome to the Village Bayu! We are here to help, ask away!

    Actually Brian, it fits you better! You are fortunate that puzzleman was available. if you contact Travis, I’m sure he can transfer all your stats and info to your new account.
  13. Good to see you cutting Kepy, nice work!
  14. Actually, I wouldn’t sell these because of the need to supply all the letters needed by the customer. The same reason I won’t sell the popular dog breed puzzles. If you sell a couple of the dog puzzles then every other person wants their breed, then pretty soon you will need all the breeds in your stock. If you are certain you want to sell the letter trains, then you will need to supply all the letters in the alphabet.
  15. If I were selling these, I would take orders and make them as needed.
  16. So Barb, you are one of those hoarders, huh!?!?
  17. No speech’s Paul, put it in a box, put it up on a shelf within eyesight. After a while you’ll come back to it. DAMHIKT!!!
  18. Well worth the wait, nice work!
  19. Looks like fun Ray, but you should post this in works in progress.
  20. Looks great Steve. Love the pastel colored eggs!
  21. This is a prime example of never trusting the.miter gauge or angle gauge. I always use a machinist square or a protractor to set the blade square to the table.
  22. It’s looking good Dan!
  23. I think you can call yourself an Intarsia expert Now Jim!
  24. Nice work!
  25. Unless the threads are stripped, all you really need to do is dress the tips of the thumb screw. This applies to all of the EX type saws including DeWALT, the newer Deltas, king and even the Pegas. Take a 3 or 4” square piece of hardwood or BB. Drill a hole with a drill press in the center. Use a bit slightly smaller than the threads of the thumb screw. Screw the thumb screw into the hole making sure it screws straight into the jig till it just barely protrudes out the bottom. Then, rub it on some 220 grit sand paper till the tip is no longer shiny. This should be a routine maintenance thing to do. I do this every two to three weeks without any degradation to the thumb screw.
