  1. Very nice gift I'm sure they will appreciate
  2. The patterns are from Diana Thompson, I understand that she might be ill, but you can get her patterns on Pinterest
  3. No just my hands, never had any problems and using either FDUR5 or Pegas GT5
  4. Big welcome back
  5. They are not too deep but the one using 1 1/8" thick wood has a pretty good size and you can always play with the cut angle. The turkey napking holders are from Steve Good.
  6. Made a couple of collapsible basket on using 3/4" oak and the other 1 1/8" Douglas fir, also since Thanksgiving is getting close here in Canada made some napkin holders. Also I got a few holders for the bird houses or other things. Busy in the shop.
  7. He always wanted to see the wood prior to cutting my 3D bird houses, well here it is. I used pieces of scrap and glue them together to get the proper dimensions either 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" square, next glue the pattern to the wood, drill 1/8" hole for the perch, 1/2" Forster bit for the entry to the house. Now we move to cutting I start with the face of the bird house and then re tape it together and cut the other side of the pattern. Take it apart and you have the end products.
  8. I had the Pegas clamps for over 2 months now and they are far better than the original from Excalibur, no complaints at all.
  9. My vote goes to Freud also, I have them on my table saw and miter saw, also they can be sharpen many times and still worked to perfection.
  10. That is a beautiful pattern and you really did it justice, great job.
  11. That is really nice piece of work
  12. Dick they are really easy to cut, the sanding shaping part can be a bit tedious but if the cutting angle is right, the shaping and sanding are not bad. The angle depends on the thickness of the wood and the number of rings.
  13. Had some pieces of scrap Wenge that was always in my way, so I decided to glue it together with cherry and cut a bowl. It did turn out not too bad, a little bit out of line because after I applied the pressure it moved a little bit well nobody I saw perfect. LOL
  14. Great news so far I hope it does not get worse for you and also your property
  15. Very nice and you see how easy they are to cut, great job
  16. Miniature bird houses and the wood that I used was scraps pieces of oak, maple, walnut, Cherry even blood wood.
  17. From my experience the FDUR are way better than the FD polar, I don't know if I used a bad batch on Polar blades but I threw them in the garbage.
  18. Bear woods Canada sell them but the shipping rates is the killer. l
  19. Excellent job Dick, you should be proud.
  20. You guys are so nice, it makes me want to increase my skill. All have à wonderful Labor Day
  21. Just finish this pattern from Sue Mey this week
  22. That is real nice, I like the way you think outside of the box (normal)
  23. Weather either too hot to play golf or rain, so in the shop I went and made some new sawdust. Some the finish has not been apply yet.
  24. There is no slowing down for you, excellent stuff as usual
  25. I used 1/4" ply from Ocooch hardwood supply
