    Wow! how thick is that wood? I still need to master the art of inlay... Still very much want to!

    Wowed, here. I bought the pattern and tried my hand at it - not an easy feat to get to your results. Will see where I am at after gluing, but it will need some adjustment.

    Picked up on your idea and thought the shavings from the Forstner Bit would make nice nesting materials. Whaddayathink?

    The pattern set came with 15 houses - so I still need to cut 9 of 'em and then some ;-)

    ... I got the pattern. I had some poplar in the raw for compound cutting. Used the bandsaw to cut it into pieces the right size for birdhouses. But no matter what I tried, I could not get the pattern to adhere to the wood. I ended up double-wrapping with packing tape, but it would always slightly slide when cutting the second side. Either way. Here are the first six - freshly oiled. Bought the eye-hooks already. They are so much fun. Also, Denny, how do you get the birds onto the perch? I ended up drilling them in the bottom to fit the perch.

    I always use a dust mask, when I developed bronchitis I couldn't shake after my first two weekends of cutting. Now I am religious about it. When sanding, I also use goggles, because my eyes react badly to that dust.

    That is interesting! Upon reflection I realized that I did not have the problem when using Olson Mach blades, but it started, when I switched to Pegas Modified Geometry. Maybe the ends are treated differently the different manufacturers.

    Did you know the little men are from Pedestrian Traffic Lights in East Germany? People just love them (me included).

    Great idea, Kevin! I will take it under advisement.

    Bought a piece of purple heart at the hardwood store. 2 feet by 1 foot. Now I am loath to cut into it. It needs to be something spectacular. Any ideas? Suggestions? Maybe a big bowl? Gimme ideas and keep'em coming. Please!

    After hubby adjusted the Ex 21 according to all y'all's great advice, cutting was easier today.
