    Total boredom, and then being as busy as a one legged man in a ............. my experience they seem to come in waves, and yet they don't arrive together, not sure how that happens. Of course I am not talking about one of those major events with 10's of thousands of people either. My suggestion, price everything in increments of $5, makes it a lot easier, and put out a sign that sales tax is included, that stops the sales tax inspector from asking questions when he shows up, rarely but it happens. And do price the items, many people will not ask how much.

    Good start to the season, hoping it gets better

    Ray I do some compound cutting, and have never taped it. YMMV

    I sand the blade ends, use to need to do it before I got the pegas clamps so it is a habit, not sure if I still need to but it has become part of the ritual so to speak.. Whether it is clamp slippage or stretch, I do not know, but once I run the blade for 30 sec or so, it does not happen the rest of the time I use the blade. It is not like I put in the blade, tension it, and cut and done, I do a lot of fretwork so it is cut, release, tension, cut, etc

    Play with some scrap, some wood I can just brush on the stain in certain areas, others I have use a utility knife and score the line before brushing on the stain.

    @Sycamore67 My understanding of the manufacturing process is that it all starts as a roll of high tensile steel wire. That is fed through a press to flatten it, then a punch to get the teeth, and finally a cutter. Blade stretch is going to be hard to measure. I think is going to be like the Concorde airplane, it is designed to "grow" 6 inches due to the high speed friction, but it returns to normal specs very quickly - I would imagine that would be true of the blade too, heat and it stretches and before you can measure the heat dissipates and it returns to normal.

    Simple decision to make regarding the vote I take it

    I started running a new blade for 30 sec or so back at the start when I had a porter cable, it happened on that one too. Some blades stretch and some blades don't, but it doesn't hurt anything to do it, so I do.

    I wonder if it vibrated off, or maybe it is more likely that you nudged it a few times during the rebuild. The back legs on mine sits on a 2x4 and has not budged at all. If nothing else take the rubber feet off the legs and let them sit and bite into the wood. Good to find the issue with having to take it apart.

    Congrats and happy birthday, beautiful machine. I am one of those Kevin ( @kmmcrafts) was talking about, I bought a roll of magnetic sheet material off amazon and my table (ex-21) is covered with it, Not only does it cover up those pesky holes, but it allows me to make a zero clearance hole for the blade, it is also very smooth and slippery

    I am the odd ball, I do not use packing or blue tape at all, no adverse effects

    Beautiful as always, you have get tired of hearing the same old things. I love those hidden barrel hinges too, of course now that I mentioned them, they are going to turn out to be something else!
  14. JimErn
    totally agree, and they cut straighter than any other brand I tried

    Ron, Great box, very nice professional work - something I can aspire to. But, I have been studying, researching and puzzling and I am lost. you use something a lot, what is it? I am referring to the material you use as an accent and in this box as a spline in the corners.

    Check the wood, the down side of what you are cutting, it it is cupped or just not flat with the table you can get that type of noise.

    As well as the #5 blade mentioned, bring the speed up to 3/4 minimum, feed at the same rate, that allows the blade to move up and down more times per mm of cut clearing out the waste

    Beautiful work, amazing car, especially for the times
  19. JimErn
    Absolutely beautiful

    I would use hard wood with mineral oil finish. Mineral oil is food safe. Plywood has glue holding it together, I would not use it with food for that reason alone. How thick really depends on the weight of whatever is going to be placed on it, plastic bride and groom is lighter than ceramic< I wold try to use 1/4 or 3/8 at the most
  21. JimErn
    Wow!

    do you want fretwork pattern or a shelf sitter pattern? The 65 Bonney was a great car, but IMO not much for distinctive style other than the grill edit: here is a quick one

    Thanks Rolf I'll keep it in mind, so far no issues, but my shop is no where near as 'tight' as anything built in the last 50 years,
  24. JimErn
    Really nice cutting, crisp and clean, beautiful

    As they say down here, and it is a valid defense to some extent, they needed killin'.
