    I was inspired by Sheila Landry's work, but all her plaques like this are bible verses and neither my husband or I are Christian. So I found a quote I love from Carl Sagan and designed this. Cherry ply. 12" x 19"

    I'm with you Fab4, I don't worry so much about my time because this is just a hobby for me. I focus on covering cost of materials and a few extra bucks on top of that. I'm happy when the hobby pays for its self.

    Great idea and outcome! I do a similar thing quite often. I use cheap pine boards (the knotty ones look extra good in my opinion), give them a light coat of latex paint, let that dry, then sand it off a bit to "roughen" it up. Then stain it. Going to have to try adding the sawz all to the process to see how that looks! The white one has a light stain and the grey one has a darker stain.

    Must have been the 1/2" pine.... Pulled out some 1/4" walnut to play today and the spirals held up fine. Well, snapped one but that was a tension/clamping issue for sure...

    Haha, good point on the temps! I have used a few out of this batch, but not on this saw (the tension setting is way different, I might just be putting it a touch to high) They're snapping right at the top of the table. I'm going to try again today with some different wood and see if it wasn't just a tension and project issue.

    Thanks, didn't really think about tension it I was frustrated and just switched plans. Do you use less tension typically with a spiral vs flat? Also am going to try again to day with some 1/4" and see if the wood was part of the issue.
  35. Casey Jourdan
    I've used a few out of this batch when I first bought them, but I guess that doesn't mean there are bad one's in there. Do you use less tension with a 0/3 spiral than a flat blade of similar side?
  36. Casey Jourdan
    I bought some FD spirals last year and they sit in the garage so it's been super hot and cold throughout the year. Tried using them yesterday for the first time in months and had 3 break within seconds of turning the saw on (2 before I even touched wood). They are tiny bits of metal, do they start to corrode or weaken with time?

    That is great!! I used to do a lot of mosaic art and still have a couple buckets of tiles somewhere.... hmmmm......
  38. Casey Jourdan
    That is spectacular!

    Thanks for all the great resources! I did order one of Kathy Wise's books last night. And I've been thinking about trying one of Judy's class room in a tube's when I have some spare cash. You've got a couple sites here that I had not seen yet so thanks again!
