Here are a few puzzles that I have been working on for an upcoming craft show. I still need to sand and finish them but that will be next weekends job. Sand them all one day and finish them the next. You probably noticed that there are a lot of bulldogs, well that is our High school football teams mascot and we are a big football down. So may as well stack the hand in my favor.

Uncluttered tables sell more items I found, and you had a very nice setup. Congrats on the sales.

Great pictures, the only thing I personally would have done different was built my radial arm saw in the same bench as my miter saw. They can work close to one another without too much interference and gives you a nice table for both to use.

So glad you decided to fix the old machine. You wont be disappointed there. Shop is looking great.

I use to do spray paint art, still do a little, and I use to take all my caps off the cans and keep them in a mason jar filled with mineral spirits. Keeps the caps clear. Also, make sure you tip the can upside down when done and spray for a second or too to clear the paint out of the cap.

Hey Kevin, looking good. I noticed you are using the picture of the Christmas tree I made, here is the website that I got the pattern from. You may find more pieces you will like. http://www.sg-patterns.com/free-stained-glass-patterns.html Awesome work.

Very nice, I really like the inlay chipmunk.
-
That came out great. I bought a couple of her books and have the one with that pattern in it. Its on my to do list.
-
Perfect, I love it.

Here is the first piece that I cut with my new scroll saw. Its also the first piece that I did since 2009. Came out pretty nice and will look nice on the wall this Christmas.

I love those horses. Very nice. -
Yes, I have a small bucket that I pour the oil into, then I put on some latex gloves and dip the parts into the oil. Works great for fretwork pieces also. Then I will either wipe the excess off with a rag or blow the excess off with compressed air. (Warning, if you go the rag rout, make sure you lay the rag out flat to dry or it can spontaneously combust.) If I have holes in the parts I can hang them to dry, if not I will set them on a drying rack to dry over night.

I just got done cutting a few puzzles myself and I was planning on dipping them in some boiled linseed oil. Mine are made of pine.

I have a couple beds made that I am finishing up. Here are a few paint photo's. I had these 2 started and glued up since last spring, just never got around to get them painted and finished up. When I start making new ones I will show some in process photo's of them.

I have been trying to finish my Christmas tree for most of this week. Its either been too cold in my shop or I had something else I had to work on. Tonight I decided to put another coat of paint on them. I'm hoping to glue them up by the end of the weekend. I like it painted, I think it looks cute. On a side note, who else uses their table saw as a work table. This time around its my paint table.

I love old saws, check around and see if you can get the old motor rebuilt. It may be cheaper then buying a new one. I would hate to see that old saw find its way to the scrap yard. Anyway, very nice shop you got going on there. I am in the process of designing mine and will probably be about the same size as yours. Keep up the pics, I love to see different ideas for layout and storage.
-
Haha, you my friend got it. Its a simple Christmas tree with a Santa's hat on it. I can see you enjoy puzzles.
-
Very good, your on the right track. Haha, nice guess but no. I have my first coat of paint on the parts, in the morning I will put another coat on them. Then time to glue them up. Keep the guesses coming, your getting closer.

Not sure if anybody here would be interested int his, but I had to share. The link goes to soundcloud, you dont have to download anything, just hit play. https://soundcloud.com/olyfantastique/the-raven-by-edgar-allan-poe

Yes it has something to do with Christmas. Sorry, not a duckling. That would be cool, I will have to make one, but not this piece.
-
Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Im in Berwick, PA

Sorry, no Holly.

Do you know what I hate the most in woodworking? Sanding. It is the least fun thing to do in my opinion. Anyway, here is another clue. I am working on sanding all the parts, with the sharp edges rounded over it really gives a little definition to the piece. Back to sanding. :(

I'm making a intarsia segmentation piece and got it cut out this morning. I came in for lunch and decided to snap a picture so we can play a game. Its called What is it? Its a Christmas Theme. I will post a final picture when I get it done in a couple days. Until then let your imagination run wild. Edit Note: I was informed that what I am making is not Intarsia, but called Segmentation. Thanks dgman for clearing that up for me.
