  1. It is nice to have friends like that.
  2. NICE!!!!!
  3. Cool idea. I always soak my projects in mineral spirits for about 15 -30 minutes. The patterns fall off and it helps condition the wood to take stain evenly. You will have to let them dry at least 24 hours if you do this before applying a finish.
  4. If you ask 20 people you will get 20 different answers to those questions. That said, Lowes has a very good selection on thin Oak, Poplar and Pine but you are going to pay dearly for it. I agree with Terry Lee, if you have a saw mill or kiln drier that is the place to go. You can soon pay for a small planer with the savings that you will get on the lumber. Just one caution, if you buy wood right off the saw (not kiln dried) it will take about a year for it to dry to a usable level. Invest in a cheap moisture meter and learn the proper way to stack and block if you are going to buy green wood. Good luck you will get the feel as you go along.

  15. Looks good. Loved the music.
  16. Did I miss the pictures?
  17. I use the same method except I keep a cookie sheet/ jelly roll pan with mineral spirits and turn the project face down for about 1 minute. Remove the pattern then hang the piece to dry. This also helps condition the wood pours to help it take stain evenly.
  18. Thanks and the same back at you.
  19. Ike; I checked the book that I have (Scroll Saw Shelf Patterns by Patrick Spielman and Loren Raty) . The pattern that you are looking for is not in this book unless it is a different printing than I have. I have a couple of more books that have shelf patterns. I will try to locate them this week and check them out.
  20. Looks great. I have been looking at that pattern too.
  21. Ike I think I have that Book. I will look this weekend and let you know.
  22. Looks good. Keep up the good work.
  23. Beautiful workmanship. Beautiful wood selections. I am sure she will love it. Seems like things are more special when they come from Grandpa.
  24. Looks great. Helps to sell a peice now and then to help pay for blades and wood. Keep up the good work.
  25. Had my shop set up in an old house trailer once. Worked out just fine.
