    It's a good video for sure. Every time I try to use a spiral blade I get totally frustrated with the fuzees that it leaves. Maybe I use the wrong blade.

    Have any of you used any redwood for woodworking other than outside projects?

    Lowes can look me up by my phone #. I have to pull up a QR code on my phone to show them at HD.

    You used to be able to ask for it and the would give it to you. Now you have to apply on line for it. A bit of a hassle but it was worth doing for me. https://www.homedepot.com/c/military

    I have a can sitting on the shelf that I bought a couple weeks ago. I couldn't get it to stick my pattern very good to shelf paper. Maybe I don't know how to use it.

    Home Depot gives Veterans a 10% discounts for instore and online orders. Needless to say I purchase quite a bit of supplies from them. Much of their items they will also ship to my home. I used to use 3M 45 spray glue. I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm always up to tying new products. Saw this Roberts Glue online on HD site so I ordered a can to give it a try. Sprays a really heavy coat and is a bit messy. If you zoom in on the paper you can see how heavy the coat is. I tried putting a different nozzle on it but no improvement. Really sticks well. A bit cheaper than 3M. I've used about a half of a can and nozzle hasn't clogged yet. I think I will be buying more.

    I didn't see the higher priced one. I have the cheaper one and sometimes the wood edges look a bit dry after a few days of drying depending on the wood type.

    From what I see on HD site, natural comes in interior and exterior type.

    Looks like a museum.

    I'm far from an expert at inlay. @Jim Finn has done a heck of a lot more inlay than I have. Looking at this scientifically is above my pay grade. I pretty much use the same thickness of wood and the same blade for every inlay. I use my Pegas saw almost exclusively for inlay so once I get it set I can leave it alone. The wood I use is .4" thick. I use a #5 Super sharp blade on my inlays. I will zero my Wixey level on the table and then stick it to the very back part of the arm and set it to 1.5 degrees. The hardness of the wood can make a difference. The wood grain can effect angle. At times I have a tendency to push sideways. That really changes things. If I am doing a box lid with three letters on it none of them will fit exactly the same. That may be caused by my sawing skills.

    That is a beauty. Keep it up.

    That is totally awesome. No one but us will know some pieces are missing and only because you told us.

    Charlie, You sure are good at making portrait patterns.

    Made of Birds Eye Maple and Peruvian Walnut. Bottom is removeable so ashes can be put in. Robert was a B-52 mechanic in Viet Nam.

    Great pattern and cutting.
  17. Dave Monk
    Good idea.
  18. Dave Monk
    You have been busy. Looks great.

    That is very cool. It would be interesting to know exactly how long that would take from beginning to end including the designing.

    You are getting to be quite the painter.

    I try to stay away from making things that can be easily done on a CNC and lasers. The shows I have been to lately there has been a lot of competition in wood/epoxy projects, especially cutting boards.
  22. Dave Monk
    If you can create quality hand made unique wood products there will always be a market for them especially if you can reach the right market.

    Thanks for your comments. I usually modify Steve Goods patterns. He designs thinner than I like. He uses a lot of 1/" material. Too hard for me to glue up. I hardly ever go thinner than 3/8".

    That is really cool Paul. I watched the show almost every week as a young un.
