A second saw is an excellent idea if you are depending on it. If I have trouble with my saw, it always happens at the worst time. I don't have a lower bellows in my EX-21. I've had the whole thing apart, and there isn't one in there. Do I need one?

Little Mod to my scrollsaw dust collection

Using the loc-line tool is much easier. -
I use two kinds of sanding mops a lot, but I would not consider either a detail sander. I have two rotary tools, a Craftsman (very old) and a Dremel. I can do detailed work with these, but I find them clunky and lacking in power. My go to is my old Grizzly G9928 - Flex Shaft Grinder. It can use anything that will work in a Dremel and has plenty of power and a foot pedal speed control. If it ever dies, I'll probably spring for a Foredom tool.

Steve Good has several, but as I recall, they are all contained in the ornament patterns. They only hold one ornament.

I do the work every day. Everything was steadily increasing. Profits and revenue were stadly increasing. A little over two years ago that changed and it has been in steady decline since then. I have had two months so far this year where I lost money.

Fortunately for me, I don't have to do this. If I had to do it for a living, I would starve.

Yep, the most valuable thing you have is time, and you don't know how much you have.

Since I began to have made-to-order items, I have been concerned that I would get more orders than I could easily fill. It might be a good problem to have. Congratulations.

I like the one on the right. I need to try that.

Hard to beat Pegas blades for durability. I noticed that the first time I used them.

Do you have some photos of your birdhouse ornaments you could post?
-
All I can say for sure was that the Flying Dutchman blades were #5 skip tooth with reverse teeth. The only reason I know they are Flying Dutchman blades is because FD blades are the only ones I have in test tubes.

I'm highly unlikely to see it on Facebook. Facebook shows me what it wants us to see in my feed.

I have a hard time giving up on a project that is not working like I want and starting over. I'm getting better.

I have never had a blade stretch. Recently, I did a test comparing Flying Dutchman blades to Pegas blades. Flying Dutchman blades cut a lot smoother and were less aggressive. In harder woods, the Flying Dutchman blades produced a glossy, smooth cut.

Same here. The ones that get the most views don't sell at all.

The emails worked for me.

Why not? You would always win.

Where is this group?

I have never bought a used clamp. I have rarely paid the full retail price for a clamp. I watched for deals and got them cheap for as much as 75% off retail. I got serious about buying clamps about 30 years ago when the Stanly clamps I had started breaking.
-
Never enough clamps, but I'm getting close. I sold some a few months ago. I would definitely let Wen know about the broken base. That is an incredibly poor location for the mounting holes. I expected to see ears on the base or at least in the four corners.
-
I'm not sure how small they will go but I use a #60 my Wen chuck with room to spare.
-
I have two of these chucks. They are great.
