Yes Marge it does. In my opinion it comes off better and leaves nothing behind. Just try it. If you don't like it you only lose 6 or 7 dollars. Just send what you don't like to me or Iggy.
Welcome Frank. From looking at your pictures you may be able to teach us a few things. I hope we see you posting every day.
PS - The reason you pictures are loading sideways is because your holding your camera sideways. I just couldn't resist saying that.
Back in the day when it seemed everyone smoked I would see a lot of burn marks on wood tables and bars. None of them caught fire. Fire takes the path of least resistance so the tobacco will burn but the wood won't. Now I don't want anyone to lay a lit cigarette down on a wood table and go to bed.
Like Larry said all ashtrays should have burn marks. You could use epoxy I think that would hold up and you could clean it. I would use a black or clear epoxy. You could also use a wood like "hard maple" but the burn marks would look ugly.
Well Wayne there is Noah's Ark. He had a pair of every living thing on earth. Then there is when Jesus was born. They had animals in both cases. I know you already know that.
Hey Brian, I spent around 30 or 40 minutes on your site the other night and I love what you do. Iggy said he was going to get all of us hooked on puzzles and I think you are helping him. I know I am hooked.
Iggy sent me a copy of a pattern that he altered and it looks really good. I hope to cut it tomorrow. It was warm today and I did stuff outside. Also in his post on how he goes about scrolling his puzzles he said he uses Duck Brand Peel N' Stick Laminate Adhesive Shelf Liner. I bought some at Walmart and it works great. No more painters tape or packing tape.
I see on the net selling puzzle pattern books. The price per pattern is pretty good but would be getting ripped off? As an example I picked this one out. I see it a lot.

I might be wrong but it looks like to me you would have the blade clamped in the holder then insert the blade and blade holder in the SS. Then rotate the blade up through the slot in the table until it stands straight up then insert it into the hole in the bottom of your project. Wala your done. Whew!!!.
Dave come to my house and I will let you try my EX out. No problem. I really think you will like it I know I do. I bottom feed and I can't see me getting down where I can see to insert the blade every time I put the blade in another hole or change blades. I am just an old **** and getting older.
Merry Christmas
I made these out of Alder and they are 7/8" thick. For a finish I used Watco Danish oil. Alder seems a little harder than pine which I used for my first dog. These puzzles are a lot of fun to make and are going to friends as Christmas presents.
Merry Christmas
