Hey Dusty, welcome to the Village! I’m Dan from So. California, not too far from you. You have come to the right place. Lots of folks willing to help, just ask!

Hey Danny, what is your SILVER BULLET?
-
Ornaments! Christmas ornaments, mini bird houses, Christmas ornament sets like the 12 days of Christmas. I make all my ornaments from 3/16” Hardwoods like Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Mahogany, Yellowheart and Purpleheart. I have Two 3’ artificial Christmas trees set up to display two different sizes of ornaments. That draws the customers to my booth, then they look at all the other goodies I have.

Looks great Marg! Does it get tense in the house when they play each other?
-
Excellent cutting Brenda! I do remember when you first came on here. You have come a long way since then!
-
Beautiful work Jim!
-
My answer still applies.

E6000. It comes in a tube and adheres anything to anything. You can find it at any craft store and most hardware stores. It’s a clear gel and flex’s if necessary. I use it to mount D hangers to projects. Have never had a failure.

Great looking work Jim!

If you order online from Mikes workshop you get free shipping for blades only. You won’t get free shipping if you order from Wooden Teddy Bear even though they are the same Co.

It is a guard to keep your hand away from a moving blade under the table. It is the second thing to remove from a DeWalt scroll saw. The first being the hold down foot.

Good to see you on the saw Marg. Nice cutting!

I have an electric iron. It takes about 10 minutes to heat up. I definitely would not want the type that needs to be heated with a torch. I don’t want an open flame in my shop!

Plywood typically is not measured in board feet as is Hardwoods. Hardwoods take into account thickness x width x length. Plywood is measured in thickness by board size. A board foot is 1”x12”x12”. If you were going to measure plywood by board feet, your 1/4” x12x12” plywood would be 1/4 board foot. Keep in mind plywood is layers of wood laminated together as opposed to hardwood which is solid wood, not manufactured.

I’m getting weary of you two! It’s getting to the point that I don’t even read posts when the two of you are on. I’m betting that a pretty good portion of the Village feels the same way!

Glad to have you back Ron. I have been wondering what happened to you. It’s nice to see your smiling face!
-
Yup, I have a bunch of those pyramid shaped things and use them when needed, but the cookie drying racks are easier to use.
-
Great work as always Jim!
-
Ray, I use some cookie cooling racks I bought at Target. They came three in a pack. I use them to set the projects on to dry after I wipe down the the project. After the project is dry, I place the projects on the racks to spray my topcoat.
-
Very nice Edward!
-
Ray, I used to use old tee shirts till I ran out of old tee shirts. I tried the rags from the big box stores but did not like the lint as you described. What’s working for me is the blue shop towels that come in a roll like paper towels but they do not leave lint behind. You can find them at hardware stores and auto parts stores.

Beautiful work Joe! Your Mahogany frame is gorgeous!
