First things first, the projects look great.
Second:
The use of the word Xmas should never be used in place of Christmas. Christmas is a time to remember the birth of our Lord and Savior. His name should not be x’ed out.
I bought the blades just for this project. Maybe I should have ordered #6’s.
I’ll have to keep trying different things. Using a size smaller should be the cause.
I’ve been trying to make compound cuts in 1 1/2 maple but the wood keeps getting burn marks. I’ve tried slowing my feed rate, adjusting blade speed, and rapping the piece with clear packing tape. I can use oak without the burning, but can’t figure out how to use maple without burning. Anyone have any advise.
I was hoping you all could help me out. I’m looking for something I seen on this site awhile back. I don’t know who posted it but I think it was called “Business in a box”. It was patterns to make custom Christmas ornaments. If anyone can help me out, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
I’ve been cutting Christmas ornaments lately. Its been a good way to use the small pieces laying around my shop. The patterns are from Sheila Landry Designs.
I met a cabinet maker a few month ago through the VFW. He started saving some of his cutoffs for me and I picked them up yesterday. Started sorting thru it and this is what I sorted out so far. The left side is Alder, the right is Oak. Just getting started, I’ll be at this all day
I’ve been having problems with my blades breaking on my Hegner. Everyone breaks in the same place. The photo shows where it is breaking, that’s the top 1/2” of the blade. Not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
