    Be careful as stain is not like paint. There is a better than even chance that it will bleed under any type of masking. @spirithorse 's suggestion of burning the borders seems like winner.

    Very nice, I'm sure your brownie account will have a deposit

    I must confess, I do the same,Run the machine for a a little while when replacing blades then re-tension it. Both Ex and the DeWalt

    Jim, it is truly magnificent mate.. I don't know a kid in the world (or an adult for that matter) who wouldn't be over the moon to have one of those.

    Another nice batch, along with a kind heart. Must be a bugger getting that saw dust out of your bed each morning mate.

    Nice and bright. Great idea using the of-cuts to make jigs.

    Be thankful you found it before tearing the machine apart. Good save Kev.

    Bugger, same thing happened to my bandsaw. The neighbour popped over to have a look at it and have a beer, . He sat his can on the table and the stain is there for perpetuity. Congratulations @Mimi, I'm jealous ;). Don't worry to much about how the saw looks, just enjoy using it. It will gather it's scars over the years, like we all do.

    Excellent piece. I bet only you see the faults. Pricing is always difficult as there are many different factors and reasons for setting a price. Ask yourself "What would I pay for it" and use that as a guide.

    When cutting our native timbers such as Jarrah, Marri etc I always use clear tape on top of the pattern. I use practically the same method as @dgman Dan. When I first heard about doing this to reduce or even eliminate burning, I had my doubts, however I find I it does as advertised. I also have a magnifying lamp and and another on one side of the saw.

    Love them. Now a nice tool box and you are all set.

    Our neighbour on the farm had two draft horses Prince and Blackie. Dad used to borrow them a lot to pull a dray while carting hay and especially to snig logs out of the bush.

    Abso-bloody-lutely beautiful Ron. I'll bet you can't hold onto them for long.

    I love the sentiment and the piece. Yep, like most things big corporations have taken over the family farm, with (in a lot of cases) help from the banks. It's heartbreaking to a farmer who has to sell his and his forefather's legacy.

    What can I say.. nothing! When something is spot on there is nothing more to say.

    A dollar in your pocket Edward is better than in someone else's Hope you sell heaps at the next one.

    ONYA Roly, It's always good to hear of someone having a good market.

    Another suggestion that won't cost much, Try placing clear packaging tape on your project. I don't know if it would reduce the noise, but it eliminates burning.

    Thanks Ray, Yep all from Our farm at a little place called Caterick, 10 miles from a slightly larger place (pop 300) Greenbushes, where I went to primary school. In the Western Australia's South West. I learnt to drive on that old Fordson Major, ploughed a lot of paddocks and carted a lot of water and hay.

    A few projects related to farms along with some pics of a real farm The photos are of the farm I grew up on. A dairy farm with pigs, sheep and pigs. We never had electricity, but we had a great life. I even have some pics somewhere of Mum in a hay wagon, pulled by Price, a draft horse.
