  1. I really have to agree with this. Some fretwork takes around 400 holes, sometimes more. Then fuzzies, more sanding, fiddling, finishing...
  2. I also use mineral oil. I don’t want anything to mess up my expensive pots!
  3. What are the dimensions? Width and height.
  4. We are a couple of hours from the beach. We were fine. Not even yard debris.
  5. Wouldn’t the flex shaft be about the same tho?
  6. I am amazed at the different plywood they have!
  7. They are cool!
  8. I am also curious about the wheels.
  9. Praying for your safety.
  10. Very interesting, I will try that.
  11. Cut in 1/8” Baltic Birch, backer painted 1/8” Baltic Birch. Frame purchased at Hobby Lobby
  12. I learned that when you complete a fret work project DO NOT glue it to the backer before you are ready to frame it! BOY did it get dusty. I think I will always have the frame ready before I begin the project from now on.
  13. Pattern by Charles Hand
  14. I love Charles Dearing and Charles Hand! That is cool!
  15. I release it when not using it.
  16. I save small jars for this purpose
  17. The horse is made from walnut, the base is a piece of holly tree that’s spalted. The finish is walnut Danish oil, with silver and gold leaf paste on the horse. With natural Danish oil and a light semi-gloss on the Base A5AA2C3C-7C54-410C-A4B2-A8D3EB244DA1.MOV
  18. Don’t forget that you need light pressure holding your wood down. That is one thing that foot does.
  19. When cutting portraits, or any fine fretwork, I start in the center and replace and tape any large pieces of fallout. It helps.
  20. Under and over tensioning can also cause breaking.
  21. +1 for Klingspor’s. I really believe they last longer.
  22. I really don’t like cutting cedar.
  23. I don’t understand why that would be an issue. (?)
  24. My closest place is Office Max
