I used to make puzzles of pets for family and friends so now my daughter has a new Schnauzer dog and she wants me to make a puzzle of it. Thanks for your help.
It's been a long time since I did any scrolling. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, even tho I made a bad mistake. Frank, Padauk is a very hard wood, but it's is pretty and that what we wanted.
I made my grandson a chess board and now he wants me to make him the chess men. He wants the chess men to be made of padauk and hard maple. I made the king yesterday out of padauk and it was a bear to cut. To cut this I used the # 5 Pegas (MGT) Blades. It took me over 2 hours and about 8 blades. The king is 3 3/4" tall and 1 1/4" at the base. Here is a picture of the king I cut. I will have to do this over because there is a bad mistake on the other side.
I bought a DW 788 from Woodcraft wanting an EX all the time. The lady at the store said it was a better saw. I took it home and something was wrong with it. It made a lot of noise so I took it back and traded it in for an EX 16 and never looked back. So far I love it.
I have glued 1/8" pieces together and it came out nice. One thing to get them to come out right is don't clamp them very tight. I think using the wedges would be enough.
