    I've seen some of the patterns you've made in the past and they are really good. You are right. Last week I was trying to do something in Inkscape that I used to do quite often but no way could I remember. As the saying goes.........if you done use it you loose it. Maybe age has something to do with it.

    Thanks for the compliments Dick. I love it when I can make something for someone that has a lasting memory to them.

    How old are you grand kids? Steve Good has some. One of our members also had a huge assortment that he sell. https://woodcraftbyscott.com/

    Thanks for the compliment. All it takes is practice, practice and more practice. It helps me a lot to look at other peoples work who are much better than I so I can compare it to mine and see where I need to improve.

    I think it's for personal stuff. Thanks for the compliment.

    We can always see things that we can do better. Thanks so much.

    Very cool!

    Thanks for the compliment. I used a dowel turned up the speed on my sanding mop and burned the end,.

    Thanks so much. I didn't notice until after I was done that the inside of the top and bottom were the same except I turned them opposite directions. I wished I would have thought about it before it was done.

    I used a cardinal pattern by Kathy Wise and added the Dogwood. Used bloodwood, red oak, cedar, walnut, aspen, yellow heart, canary and poplar. My client loved it.

    I stain my backers so I use it to clean up my hands,

    That is still a big percentage jump.

    February I bought a 5 x 5 sheet of Baltic Birch for $20 and some change. Friday I had to give $60 for the same stuff at the same place. 1/8" and 1/2" was about $50. The price of hardwood wasn't effected much.

    I have put an 1/8" strip of plywood under each edge to overdo it. It's a a beautiful piece of wood so I hope you can flatten it.

    You must have a gazillion cans of different colors.

    I really admire your work. What type of paint do you use?
  18. Dave Monk
    That is a beauty Dick!

    Oh my gosh! What a nightmare.

    Do you have an idea how long they hold a charge? Do you have a link.
  21. Dave Monk
    Be interested to see how they work. The last one I had would not hold charge very long.

    I spray everything with lacquer. No more than I stain it's just as easy for my to use a brush. In the past I used to build a lot of big things and I sprayed them. It was messy as heck. I still had to wipe them off.

    I definitely want a drill press that will handles 2 and 3 inch forstner bits. Takes a pretty good drill press for that. I currently have a small drill that Seyco sells that works similar to your rotary tool for drilling fretwork.

    I do a heck of a lot of inlays. I usually have my bevel on my saw set at about 1.4 degrees. I usually use about a #63 drill bit for my entry holes. In the past I have tried to drill at an angle but it seems that I get enough drift in the drill bit that it isn't worth it.
  25. Dave Monk
    What model do you have that it can hold a #70 drill bit? I currently have a small Craftsman. The spring broke about a year ago and I replaced it. It broke again about a month ago and I can't find one anywhere. It looks the same as a Rikon and they are not available either. Currently I have a rubber band doing a half assed job. The darn thing has no power either so I just need to decide on what I want to get.
