I started using shelf liner about 7 months ago. Solved a lot of little problems. It seems the cheapest I can get works the best, holds the pattern and removes easy, I pick it up at a local dollar store. I would stay away from clear, my old eyes can't see it sometimes

All good advice, and if she likes it I think what she cuts the first time is not that important.with your help the learning curve should be easy.

Never asked a question that was not answered.. Always a friendly word, it was a lucky day I found ssv. So thanks to all of you that make it work

I've reached a point were I don't mind making a mistake It feel SO good when I get it right

Welcome from South Texas. Also a transplant from NY

I have to agree with Fab4, my guess is we all have and will screw up

congratulations on the TWO new saws, sounds like you had a good day I am looking forward to your review also.

WELCOME from South Texas, never to late to start again, and if you have questions this is the place to get answers

I also copied Roff ( more or less) with my aids off the shop vac is fine. I used 3/4 pipe and just drilled holes on the suction end put some nails across the end to block the chips. Most importantly it works Not 100% bit I can live 90

Kris , I may have missed read your post. Is it the wood that bucks or the saw ? If it's the saw then something is way wrong.

You did great job, I had not seen this one , I like it

First WELCOME My only thought is to make sure your blade is tight, and stays that way. You are getting that " ping" when you set the tension, right. Also make sure table is level and blade is at 90 deg. Good luck

Really easy to look at. Great job !

Elegant is the first word to come to mind. Very will done.

A great job on pattern and cutting For some reason I just could not " see" it on my phone, but on a big screen it jumped out. Very nice.
