    In general, I think that most people with most things (like software programs), blades, etc. tend to like what we "learned on". Kudos to you for trying to learn a different way. I don't know that there is a right or wrong - it is usually what we find that works best for us. However, being willing to try new things/new ways new tools keeps us learning and sometimes we will in fact find something we like better then what we are using/doing. Other times, it simply offers us a new way to approach or do something. Win-win in that case. I still need to learn to master the blades I started with - flat - but those are probably best for Intarsia work anyway. One day I will attempt some spiral blades if for no other reason then to see the difference in how they work.

    So Dave, what did the customer decide?

    Thanks. I didn't know the first time or two that I saw BLO referenced on here but I did a little digging (hubby wasn't around at the time or i would have simply asked him) and figured it out.

    Well, sorry about your truck but glad you were able to exchange your saw and get the Excalibur 16 and are happy with it. Look forward to seeing what you create.

    Okay, newbie here - newbie question - how does a "zero clearance insert" help? and Where does one get one? Are they different for different saws or all the same? Thanks for everyone who shared their experience/knowledge regarding stack cutting - I have been wondering about it a bit - wondering if how many or how thick was "too much" or just right and the best wood to try with etc. I am thinking it would be easier if I did some stack cutting on some Christmas ornaments for family I was considering. Part of it was trying to decide whether I wanted to cut out of BB Ply or hardwoods. Still can't decide for sure on that. I think I prefer the look of the hardwood.

    Sorry to hear - hopefully you (and us via your sharing) learned somethings and will be better off the next time. One being to "clarify" more details about the show and to check around and see what else is going on in the area at the same time to determine if it is something we want to undertake. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Thanks Frank for sharing the tools for the tedious, patient time-consuming cleanup work. I have been wondering how some of you all get into those small tiny places to clean it up. The most important tool in that picture seems to be the comfy looking chair.

    Welcome from another newbie and another Tennessean. Look forward to having you here and sharing.

    I agree Rob, great job on the project and she is going to love it. Great way to commemorate her accomplishment. Thanks for showing.

    Great jo . I think he looks good. He will be nice greeting guests.

    Sounds like a win-win all around. Did you work out the "split" on the profits though?

    Explains all the Mickey Mouses at my house Marg. Beautiful project with unique and stylish framing. It is a work of art that any mother would love. Thanks for sharing.
  13. meflick
    That look great. Works with lots of ages too. Thanks for sharing.

    That is a beautiful piece of work. I am glad you are keeping it for yourself. So often we make things and never keep any of them. Thanks for your service as a Firefighter. Having had my family home burn when I was in college, I appreciate all the work firefighters do. More unsung heroes that protect us!

    Looks very cute and would think it would be a good seller at a craft show. But then, you never know. I agree the color makes it pop but you want to limit your "hands on time" to create them so you make more $. So as Dave suggested you might try just using the black backboard and see how it looks. You could also "spray paint" some backers in other colors perhaps so it is all one solid color but something other than black. Depends really on what you think is going to sell the best and how much work you want to put into making them. Since you are "testing the waters" with this one show. You might have a few of different kinds on hand and see which ones seem to sell the best.

    Thanks to everyone who has shared their knowledge and wisdom on this thread. I and I am sure other newbies appreciate your knowledge, input, insight and willingness to share.

    Since you have them both cut, always a wise choice to let the customer decide. She might decide to take both.

    First, thank you for your service and for all of the vets here thank you. As we approach the 15th anniversary of 9/11, I am thankful for the men and women who have served and protected our country and freedoms. Second, that is a beautiful piece of art that you have created. I like it just like it is - no "frame" needed. I like it on the pallet wood as is. Thanks for sharing your photo of your project.

    Another vote for with the names. Stain adds a subtle difference on the "finish" but the names make it personalized and people always like personalized. Can the one with names be stained.

    Thanks for beating me to the punch and asking Steve. I had seen several people mention this and I had wondered too.
  21. meflick
    Glad to hear you have gotten the saw mother and everything setup and working. Look forward to seeing more of your work. You are doing great. Thanks for showing your pic.
  22. meflick
    I like all the pattern Steve shares. You did a great job cutting these. Thanks for sharing.
  23. meflick
    Can't say more then what was already said. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Awesome work to celebrate those who sacrifice so much for the rest of us.
