Beautiful. I would never of thought of teal, but it works. Heldas does some nice patterns.

If I had to guess which was your 1st, I would of said Clint, not because it's bad, but it's a simple cut. I have made a number of them. I did notice a glaring omission ................................................... No Reba

I use a 180g Bob, for the same sort of stuff mate. It softens the corners of puzzles and toys beautifully without scratching the surface, or knocking bits of your fingers Get the 2" if you can afford it.. I use a pedestal drill to run my mops. The finer one I use mostly for fret work.

I just yell for my son or Grandson I return the favour when they need a nut tightened or a nail hammered in

My daughter used to write with both hands, Start with the left and change to the right halfway across the page She's now just a normal righty.

I reckon you could have a showing at a gallery with that lot Charlie. I have photo's of all mine If I hung any in my shed you would not be able to tell in a few months as they would be covered in dust. Just write prices on the back of them all, and I'll bet they go on ebay, not the fire when you give up the ghost

On point with this one Dan.

Try the Olson Blades from Wooden Teddy Bear, Their Precision Ground and Mach blades are excellent. I use them for my stand up puzzles which and trinket boxes which use material fro 25mm - 50mm. I use FDUR for fretwork.

I believe so Bob. They tend to last a long time. Note that a 180g is probably about as aggressive as a 220g and a 220 about a 360g

You are really churning them out and knocking them all for six Frank. I'm not going to pick a favourite out of this lot mate. All are top shelf.

Nice one Charlie. I love Willies song writing. Hello Walls and Crazy would be a couple of my favourites. I saw a docco on "Trigger" and a fellow tasked with keeping it going, he had no easy job as was not allowed to alter the wear and tear. I must say it and Willie really go together, both weather beaten and seen better days.

Nice job, and something the family will remember for a long time.

Quirky and straight to the point

Good job.

Bob, I also purchased my 1st mop, but have made another 3 of various grits just using a bolt as a mandrel. I usually get one or two refills when ordering from Kligspore as the refills are not too badly priced especially when you add in the cost of cloth backed paper and the time taken to cut and punch all the leaves. The last me for a long time, as I now mostly use Mac Mops.

I thought this may interest some of the group. I made this about 15+ years ago and it is still in the original condition. A few knocks and chips, but pretty good. It is made from 6mm mdf with 19mm aluminium angle all around It can hold about 36 A4 sized puzzles, mind you it's a little weighty when fully stacked (almost an 8' x 4' sheet of 6mm and 3mm mdf) Puzzles also sit on top of the upright ones.

Good stuff Charlie. I keep my eyes open for reno's etc as usually theirs good timber being chucked.

Frank, I place my items on a a lazy Susan type thing and as @tomsteve does, get down low and spray light dusting coats from the 4 compass points, Cut back the surface with 220 or 360 paper and repeat, this prevents any build up on the edges. Sometimes I will turn the piece over and do the same from the rear. When I'm happy with the coverage, using acrylic paints, I repeat the process with lacquer, for a final gloss or satin coat on the surface.

Very nice. To airbrush small pieces stick them to a board using blue tac or a piece of masking tape sticky side up with ends folded under
