    Those are neat. very well cut and finished. I miss my Dachshunds. How do you dilute your Shellac? and what ratio if you don't mind sharing.

    Those are really cool. I may have to try something like that since I have another Granddaughter that just turned !.

    I thought they were all staring blindly at the cyber Monday screens!!!!!

    That is a great Idea. I may have to steal that considering I have a herd of Granddaughters.

    My Son and family were in from Arizona 2 weeks ago for Holiday. My Grandson wanted to go to the shop with PAP and make an ornament for his tree. Al tho I did most of the steering we did get a star ornament by Dirks Boelman made. Sorry I let it get away without a picture. Any how Brady picked up some of the scrap from the compound Ornaments and wanted them. I am like OK let me straighten them up for you. I sawed them flat and looked at them and realized that they really didn't look bad. My son even ask why I was throwing them away. So I went back thru some of the scrap and here are some of the results. I get a 3d ornament and also 1 to 4 2d ornaments from the same wood. In the pics you can see the 3d and also the 2ds that were made from the scrap. Your thoughts or critics appreciated.

    I have really enjoyed my time back on the saw. I have been trying my hand at compound cuts and wondering why that I took so long to start them. This is my first year at this but I think I may have started something with these. I am looking forward to starting a Chess set after Christmas. Any way all ornaments are cut from Cedar and Poplar with a combination of #7 Olsen PGT and #7 Pegas MG blades. (Look for a order later today Denny.) At this point they were dipped in Shellac with one coat of rattle can Lacquer. They received 2 more coats of Lacquer after the pics were taken. All patterns are (I think) from either Steve Goods or the Ornaments for Charity books except the little Reindeer, can't really remember where that one came from. Any way all comments good or bad are welcome. Sorry about all the junk in the background.

    I did some compound cut ornaments over the last few weekends. This was my first attempt at this type cutting. 2 things that I learned really quick are #1 the wood has to be square and #2 the pattern has to be folded accurately. Just a tip for anyone doing these patterns. If you have a scale rule it is the greatest tool going for folding the patterns. Line up the center line atop the triangle and it makes a perfectly straight crisp fold. Just thought I would throw this out.

    Again I think there needs to be a category called things that I am not ashamed of. That would be more appropriate for my stuff. Steve Goods ornaments. 19 Cedar initial Ornaments Cedar wood a combination of #7 Olsen PGT and #7 Pegas MG blades dipped in Minwax natural stain and finished with 3 coats of Krylon tipple thick glaze. Not sure I like this product. First time using it. Still Have 5 more to go for my herd. Dog, Humming bird and 3d ornaments raw Poplar off the saw. Wife wants to try her hand at painting them.flat ornaments were cut with Olsen #2 crown tooth blades. Mini Trees are a combo of Cedar and Poplar cut with #7 Pegas blades. Not sure how to finish them yet. And last but not least the reason that I will never get to retire completely. The 3 dogs that the ornaments were cut for. We refer to them as our pack.

    I have one of these. Bought it when I built the Cradle for my son. Worked ok for what I needed but don't thimk it would be acurate enough for precision work.

    Hey Kev Check out the reviews before you buy. I think that is the one that everyone was complaining about being so loose a couple of years ago,
  17. kywoodmaster
    Definitely the rope for me. It looks more finished.

    As everyone has said it depends. I have been cutting some ornaments from Cedar wood. I have been using #7 Olsen PGT and #7 Pegas MGT blades. The material is 1.5x1.5 inches. It takes me about 20 minutes per ornament and I have been getting 2.5 to 3 ornaments per blade. Had this been hard Maple or Oak I imagine that would reduce to probably 1 to 1.5 per blade.

    Could be the Irish. The brown side reminds us of Guinness.

    I think you will find that Poplar varies widely with the type of Poplar (Yellow, Tulip ect.)

    Not a designer but could you take one of the baby's first Christmas ornaments and change it to Granny's or mamaws first Christmas? Steve goods has several to choose from.

    They will open with Microsoft photo editor.

    Alex my wife is a bird feeder. In the summer we usually have between 40 and 60 ruby throat Hummingbirds at our house. She usually goes thru 6 to 8 liters of sugar water for food a day. Your pattern is great. I will have to cut this one for my wife.

    Ok I see the bird and squirrel, but is the other one an owl or cat? Either way it looks great.
