    You need to hold the wood down as well as guide it through the cut.

    I use clear shelf paper and don’t usually need clear packing tape. If I do decide to use it I use a thick type. There are different thicknesses out there. I look for duck brand. You do still have to be careful to get it on with no wrinkles. I usually only use it when cutting thicker projects like boxes. Nothing complex. The clear shelf liner also gets rid of the need for blue tape, and leaves no sticky residual unless you have left it on there for quite some time. (Several days)

    I was also there in the NCWW booth. It was a great show. I came home exhausted.

    Pawn shop, Craig’s list. Something that doesn’t take pinned blades.

    I am happy you’re still alive!

    The reason for tilting the back of the saw is to help your neck and shoulders. The reason I like the way my Excalibur tilts the head is the rack and pinion system. For double bevel inlay the tilt is very small and needs to be exactly correct. I could never get it correct with the Dewalt. Loosen the table and tap, doesn’t work easily.

    Well from the look of those wood fibers I thought it was cheap plywood! That is definitely not normal.

    Plywood from a big box store is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.

    If it’s too good to be true....

    I use the shelf liner/label combo. The only time I use spray is when the pattern is bigger than one sheet of paper.

    I just use the suede-Tex. I didn’t know there was more than one type of fibers. Why would someone use it outside?

    I help with snakes, my husband takes care of spiders. It’s odd how someone who can’t tolerate one can usually handle the other.
  16. Roberta Moreton
    Spiders creep me out. I deleted that pattern so fast!

    I clean the ends of my blades with a little thinner. When you wipe them and see the black on your rag you will understand one reason they might be slipping.

    They would also be lovely pinning a scarf.

    I just ordered some. Needed blades.

    I DO use that flocking kit with very good results. Finish everything first. I use a plastic container for the entire kit. Easy to contain the mess and store the stuff. Put on enough colored glue, double check. Put the box IN the plastic container and flock. DO NOT SHAKE THE BOX. Carefully remove the box and check for any shiny areas, these don’t have enough flocking. Reflock the box until there are no shiny spots. Extra flock is fine. Let set at least overnight. Turn the box over and shake the extra flock into the plastic container. This can now be put back into the puffer. After 24 hours you can tap the bottom of the box to remove the rest of the unstuck flock. This will take a bit. I usually turn it over upside down and ‘drop’ it about an inch onto the table a few times. The “trick” is letting everything dry.

    I vote for the Ridged belt and spindle sander. I love mine.

    You can mail order Baltic Birch Plywood. I order it off of EBay. Check to be sure the supplier is Cherokee. You will get good stuff.

    Thanks for the update Iggy!

    4 inches. I also have the plunge router attachment because of this.

    I used to work with Amish. The business have what they need to compete. Phones, electric, etc. It needs to be approved by the local Bishop. A telephone in the barn was not that uncommon.
