WOW! That's incredible for a first time. I still have not pulled the trigger on intarsia or segmentation Can't wait to see what else you do with intarsia!

Nice cuts - thanks for sharing

That's a very cool tray! Thanks for sharing

Well that is some inventory you got there Can you set up shop in your garage and sell out of it? I can't here since it's a zoning issue but I know a lot of place have exceptions for small businesses like this

nicely done thx for sharing

I love trains as well - nicely done thanks for sharing

Good idea Len, I'll try that on another cut. I think there wasn't enough room for me to manipulate the piece enough to make different size tabs. Maybe I should switch to a smaller blade? Was using Pegas #3 MG - Have a 1.0 and 2.0

I don't find that boring at all - rather nice I think

Black for me also - but the blue is nice as well

Not sure when I'll be able to get back to the SS, gotta a few things to build this week and weekend. Here are yesterdays cuts, unfinished. Will get the wife to finish them over the weekend... I tried to cut this one also, but failed. I think the tabs are too small for me. I had another cut (different animal) with small tabs also and opted not to try my luck Thanks as always for reading +

Very good stuff - newbie my butt LOL Thanks for sharing

That's one impressive project! I'm sure it's going to be incredible when you're done! Thanks for sharing

Very nice. Whenever I see candle holders such as that one, I wonder if they wouldn't catch fire from the flame? But it is a very nice cut. Thanks for sharing

Geez that's a gorgeous box! Thanks for sharing One day, maybe ...

While some may say I'm close to being a hoarder, actually I like to consider myself a thrifty pack rat Some advantages to being a thrifty pack rack include helping the environment in some small way. By saving odds and ends obtained from various products and situations, I'm doing my part to help keep the landfills small. Here are a few things I save that I get to re-use in my shop and around the house and yard... Wire ties - Lots of products come with wire ties. All that is needed is a small screw driver to pry the locking end up enough to salvage the tie rather than cutting them and throwing them in the trash. Wire wraps - you know those wirey, plastic coated ties that come around breads and things. I save them, put them in a plastic jar (I don't allow glass in my garage/shop, all containers are clear or see through plastic). I then re-use them to tie up various wires, cords and the like around the shop Plastic Containers - speaking of plastic containers, we save lots of these. The clear ones (like mayo jars) we use in the shop to store screws, nails, bolts, grommets and more... We also use them in the kitchen for storing and freezing food stuffs Brown paper packing paper - I get a lot of this when I order things online. It also comes in very large sheets. I have a roll of this paper I use to cover my main workbench for glue ups, but I also have smaller tables/benches and use the sheets I get for these smaller benches and tables Bubble wrap - I've been saving this stuff for years. Mostly I use it for packing things in containers for storage, but also for shipping things I sell. It also works really well for keeping paintings/framed pictures from getting damaged either when storing them or when shipping them or when undergoing construction/painting to wrap up and protect! Glass Jars - We do a lot of cooking and freezing at our house, and we use quite a bit of low fat oil. Rather than pouring the oil down the sink, we strain the oil with cheesecloth and save it in jars (the only thing we save glass jars for is this). We can get multiple uses out of the oil and when it gets burned we throw away the whole jar. We don't have room for a compost or we would add it to the compost. We use the glass instead of plastic because glass will break down where plastic does not and glass is better in the landfills Plastic Bags - Not only the resealable ones you buy, but also the ones that products are sent in as well. I re-use these in the shop and for selling items, storing items and mixing things Pallet Wood - I know lots of woodworkers cringe at re-using pallet wood for various reasons, but I use it for lots of things. I've made my french cleats out of them, I've glued them together to make clocks and rolling tool carts, I've used them after the hurricane to keep all our valuables off the ground in the yard and covered with tarps so as not to ruin anything, and now we're about to use more as flooring in our new portable garage! They really come in handy. I have a special tool I use to break down a pallet which I can do in 15 mins or less. Hard Drives - So whenever we have a computer fail, I pull out the hard drive, attach a usb connector to it and use it for external storage. While storage drives are very inexpensive at the moment, the pricing does vary periodically so having these connected to working computers is an easy back up solution for all our 'puters (of which we currently have 7 in full time use) Basically, whenever I find something or think of something that I can re-use at some point I try to save it. I post this thinking may others can benefit from my thrifty pack rat ways or perhaps you have things you save or uses for things I haven't mentioned? Thanks as always in advance for reading...

OMG I just did that this morning with a Pegas #3 MG - couldn't figure out why I was getting so much chatter! Doh - blade is upside down!

Wow! Just WOW! Thanks for sharing - something to aspire towards for sure.
