    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 made this about 5 years ago and it still does a good job. It is about as cheep to buy one , the price of sanding paper is up right now. I got the pattern off the internet .

    `I had a delta and within 2 years it went bad it was under warrantee and I decided to take it to the delta repair shop. after one months called the shop and they were waiting for parts and would get it done when the parts came IN. this was the same after month 2,3,4,5,6 they finally got it finished I called delta once to find out what the problem was and they said I should just go and buy a new saw Well I did and it wasn't a delta. the original delta is now my back up saw. Never again,

    some one mentioned the 3 jaw chuck for the Dremel. I have one and I decided to try it in the plung router. I had to take it off the dremel so it would work I did this and mounted it in the router and It wouldn't close ddd on a drillof any size. This is an older plung router and all blut I don't thik they changed it they stilllook the same. Buyer be ware.\IKE
  19. William Eicehelberger
    I have 4 dremel one is ;on the plunge router 2 are variable speed and 2 are single speed I have never used it on anything thicker than 3 1/4 baltic ply and it works real well I oly use it when my 10 in. drill press wont reach eht holes especially on fret work. I have it set right by the saw ddthis works for me. IKE

    I have been homesetting my wife for the past 2 years.In the summer time I can go out to the shop for a hour or so about 30 min. at t time so this winter i set my back up saw in a spare bedroom with a vac set up to keep the dust down. I don't get much done but it helps my nerves a lot. and my wife is not neglected .When i need wood I get my sister in law to set with her for 2 or 3 hours so I get plenty of wood at a time. I have kept my sanity this way.. IKE

    I guess I do things the easiest way. When I start cutting I marked down the time When I finish I mark down the time. Now for the sanding applying the pattern tacking off the pattern and spraying the part with liquor it takes 8 minuets no matter how large the part is but 8 minutes is the average time. If the run time is 30 minutes that takes it to 38 minutes . I charge 40 cents per minute which will bring it up to $25 per hour.. I just go to shows I enjoy the people I get to talk to and do not charge for this time. I have been doing this for 55 - 60 years and it has worked fine ever since the start I just change the 40 cents every once in a while to keep up with the times. I am 82 now and plan to keep doing this till I am 90. I have seen some big improvements in all those years I ;am hoping for 90 years . IKE

    I am down to several pieces of scrap 1/4 &1/8 BB might get some ornaments off it but will have to buy more , I through my change into a coffee can every night to buy BB ply with so I may have enough for a couple sheets. This is what I call my slush fund. from old Navy days. You can't even find cheep ply at HD any more it seems like BB ply is cheaper. No matter what I will keep on scrolling I have a goal to meet Scroll till I am ninety 8 years to go. IKE
