    Huh, I have a Palm sander and 5 puzzles needing sanding. I'll try that first and see which works best for me - the palm or the dremel Thanks for the suggestions @spirithorse

    I haven't tried spirals at all yet. Heck, I get nervous changing from my Pegas MG#3 LOL - which today I've cut 5 puzzles with one blade so far.

    From what I've read there is a slight difference: https://bizfluent.com/info-12044319-differences-between-food-grade-pharmaceutical-grade-mineral-oil.html

    MC = Motor Cycle Nice cut Frank - thanks for sharing it

    Agreed - in fact, my Guinever is enclose in a box but the pieces still fly all over the place! I'm thinking the dremel may be the cure.

    Thanks Bill, I thought of this however, I have a Wen drill press and the chuck does not always stay seated, specially when using hole saw bits. I'm afraid if I put too much side pressure on the chuck I'll ruin it permanently. It's not the most robust of drill presses - it works for the most part for what I use it for though

    I have dewalt Planer for that process. Got it at CPO for a nice discount. I've only used it once, but boy does it shave off wood and send it flying LOL

    I have one on the Guinever

    I have found my nemesis, and it's name is PENGUIN!!!! I have now cut 4 Penguin puzzles of variable sizes and on EVERY single one I have either: Broken a piece (2 puzzles) Made the nibs incorrectly ( they don't hold the puzzle together) (1 puzzle) Ruined the Finish (1 puzzle) The broken pieces are my current issue as the other 2 I know what I did wrong or know how to alter my technique to fix. The broken pieces however always happen during sanding. My current sanding process involves using my Guinever to smooth some rough edges or get a little fuzz off the cuts. Problem is the Guinever is not variable and if I don't hold the piece just right it will send it sailing into oblivion, never to bee seen again until I vacuum the shop Anyone have any inexpensive ideas on how to correct for this problem? I'm thinking of setting up an extra Dremel and using it as a variable sander. Thoughts? Thanks as always in advance - you guys/gals always have great ideas and alternatives!

    Thanks, Problem is Danish Oil is a lot more expensive. I think also, certain types are not child safe. At least I read an article and that was what I gathered from the inference.

    I've started using Mineral oil on some projects, specifically puzzles and stand up pieces (puzzles not cut out completely). Problem is I'm not sure how long to soak or how many times to dip the project. I dipped a few yesterday, and they seem to have dried overnight. I was under the impression they would not dry that quickly. Thoughts? Thanks as always in advance

    Thanks Tom, I only used pre-stain on the poodle. The Penguin was broke in several pieces and glued back together and then pre-stained.

    Finally finished the Dinoscapes I started before the summer LOL. Stack cut, BB 1/8", Pegas MG#3. Miter cornered frames on all (with routed edge and glue only). Opted for 4 different backgrounds... Thanks as always in advance for reading.

    Geez I hate looking at your work, makes me want to throw in the towel and give up LOL Great cuts as always though, thanks for sharing them
  20. new2woodwrk
    All except the Penguin were poplar. The Penguin I think was a left over piece i had from when I started - probably a Lowes Common piece or might have been pallet wood - not really sure about that one.

    I did a bunch of cuts this week. The cuts came out OK but the staining, not so good I won't be staining these anymore and will be trying the Mineral Oil bath thing. No clue what happened to the Poodle and the Penguin, but boy did they come out crappy - samples only now I guess. Leo and Papillon came out fair The Manatee came out the best I think - the only one I didn't stain... I did a bunch of framed cuts also, I'll post once their mounted and finished Thanks as always in advance for reading

    My Delta has controls on the top, not sure what the issue is
  23. new2woodwrk
    That's what I thought. Yes, happened to me quite a bit. Still does once in a while just not as much. Others much more experienced than I will probably chime in at some point - lots of great people/cutters here with years of knowledge to share! Sanding will fix that and get the "bumps" out Thanks for sharing

    A few pics would sure help. However, are you describing the edges of a cut? If I'm not mistaken, that is usually caused by starting and stopping during a cut. In other words, not cutting smoothly. Used to happen to me quite a bit when I first started. Otherwise, not sure what you are referring to... Need pics.

    Now that is thinking outside the box for sure.... I've used cedar siding, 2x4's, pallet wood, and all manner of white wood, but never ceiling fan blades Parked and reading
