I use both solid wood and Bb ply and rght now I am regular ply from a cabinet shop, but I do prefer solid wood.

I had similar problems with cutting puzzles with my Dewalt and Delta saws but them I bought a Excalibur I aliened the blade and was able to cut a out of 3/4 popular using a #2 blade but they don't hold up soo well so I now use #3 blade and every thig works out well Bill.

I tired this several times about 20years ago. All shops were well ran. I did good at at most stores I had one store that Was doing good and they decided to sell out and move to Florida .I went to check it out and all seemed good but i a couple of month they closed the store and no one knows where they went . I found out later that they took every bodys goods and left , where to no one knew I lost about $150 in merchandise. I wouldn't set up a booth in a store with out checking it out . Bill Bill.

On any project that I will use 2 or more copies I cut 3 I make my own frames so the size doesn't matter. My backers is usually some scrap ply found in the dumpster With the price of balletic birch I don't make many prostrates or pictures The ;main thing is that the blade is square with the table Bill

I buy all my blades from Denny Knappen the prices are good and the service is great, besides that due to my last order I got an extra dozen blades, I got them in 3 days.Good show Denny Bill

welcome back I retired 8 years ago told the wife I wasn't going to work in the factory @ the age of 75. I have no regrets since.

send them a nasty letter that's what i did bill

I tried that place 5to 6 years ago and had to get real nasty with them then they sent My order and some one else with 2 letters of regrets. I just used both orders and never used them again. I am surprised they are still in business. Bill

Dan I don't know when that will be I am pretty held down My wife is house bound I don't know what is with her, I think . it is mostly in her head. I do go to craft shows her sister checks on her . I have a new shop and on worm days I go out there and scroll, and work on my shop. I take my phone with me so she can get to me. I will post the date for my next show. bill

Thursday I went to a small sale @ a ass. living/nursing home. There was no charge they furnished a sack lunch coke and cookie.(at no charge), the table was furnished. I wanted a drink so I ask they sent me to a corner of the room They had free cokes, popcorn cookies. It was a 4 hour sale and I sold $210 in 3 christmas trees and several puzzles It was very entertaining for the live in's and we were treated like family. the experience of that sale was worth a $210 day. I will go back next year and don't care how much I make. Bill
