    Word Art

    Thank you all for the responses, hopefully I can get more projects on here soon. Rod
  3. I completed this Word Art for my wife for mother's day. The pattern came from Sheila Landry Designs.
  4. Hey Paul; Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. So far I like everything I see. I want to try my hand at Intarsia. But all patterns I see makes me want to do everything. Have a great evening. Rod
  5. I just want to thank everyone for the nice welcome and as soon as I finish my projects I will post some pictures. I did get my saw and I placed it on a Husky rolling tool cabinet and it works great. I'm now trying to work with some wood dyes to get different results. Have a great day and stay dry.
  6. The nice thing about this set up is I can stand or I have a stool that allows me to sit & I have the best of both world. You know sitting too long is not good for the body. Rod
  7. Hi Zen; It's the perfect height for standing. I have only used it once so far. Will get a lot more use in the next couple of days. Rod
  8. I attached a picture of my new Dewalt 788. I had purchased the Dewalt stand but I was not too happy with it so I purchased a Husky 4 Drawer tool cabinet from Home Depot and additionally purchased the wood top. I secured my Dewalt to the wood top and bingo bango there you have it. All works great and I can keep my other tools, sand paper and what ever else I want in the drawers. By the way I got the Husky and wood top for a total of $75.00 I got the discount because they only had one key and there was a small scratch on the side of the cabinet.
  9. I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. I will definitely post my projects when the time comes. Have a great evening. Rod
  10. Hello everyone; I would like to start doing Intarsia but I'm retired & funds are limited so buying different woods can get to be expensive. I was wondering if you would recommend dyes or stain to achieve the different wood look. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank You, Rod
  11. John; Great job and keep up the good work. Rod
  12. Hi Solo; I just got my new Dewalt also and I have been searching high & low for blades. I came across a video on You Tube and I wrote down this chart for blades. #2 blade for 1/4" soft wood, #5 blade for 3/4" soft wood, #7 blade for 3/4-1" hardwood, #9 blade for 1 1/2-2 1/2" hardwood and #12 blade for straight cuts/rips. I hope this helps and hopefully this is accurate. Rod
  13. Hi; I just bought a Dewalt and I love the scroll saw. My old one is a Craftsman which I'm keeping and will use it to sand the tight spots on my projects. My tension is at about 3.5 and that seems fine for me.
