Thank you Ma'am!

Thanks RJ

Don graciously made this pattern for me, thanks Don. I used to work with a guy over 25 years ago that just turned 80 years old. I haven't seen him or his family for at least 10 years. I actually taught his oldest daughter how to drive. I was given an invite to his surprise birthday party that she was giving him. Don made this pattern and it's a good thing that I made it the next day,, I was off by a week on the date of the party. I didn't have time to do anything fancy with it. I was planning on using BB Ply but found a piece of Cedar. I had thought that it would be a little nicer than the ply, but it didn't have much grain. 1/4" Cedar, used a FD UR1 and a few coats of lacquer.

Rules? There are no rules! LOL

I read your post, then went to Youtube after I finished up here in the Village. The first thing I saw was this.

Lots of very nice projects posted! A few of mine;

Not sure what to say here,, Cool, awesome, touching, dang,, just dang!

I have read these posts before many times. I have the Dewalt and have never had any blade slippage. I have had to adjust the set screw on occasion to avoid getting the "hockey stick" put into the tips of my blades. At this time, I don't see how the Pegas clamps would help me. I'll continue to reads these posts though.

Nice looking piece of wood and nice cut. I have been looking for a good wolf pattern to cut something for a neighbor. I've seen many patterns but none have been the one yet.

I've read before that all sides should be finished because of the reasons mentioned above,, but I have also read that that is a myth.

Thanks! I appreciate the words.

Thank you Ma'am! I actually want to keep it! LOL

Much appreciated

Thanks Scrap

Thanks! Finishes are not my cup of tea! LOL

Dick, thanks for the kind words.

Thank you sir, much appreciated.

Looks like a dog. If you were intending for it to be a dog, then you succeeded! LoL Nice job, looks good.

My BIL passed away 2 years ago at 68 years old on this past 25th. My sister, her husband asked me last month if I would make a box to put some of his ashes in for their son. I have never really made a "nice" box so I told her that I would come up with something. He, his son, myself,, the whole family have always been "Truck Guys". So I showed her a picture of a truck I made last year and asked her if I was able to make another one and insert some ashes in it, if it would be alright. She said yes. The body is made from Hickory and the fenders are Walnut. Several coats of Lacquer for the finish. I drilled a 1/4" hole in the bottom for the ashes and sent her a picture. She asked me where I was going to put my stamp. I had forgotten that she wanted me to stamp it.. with the hole in the center of the bottom of the truck, I didn't have room anywhere to put my stamp. So I plugged the hole for the ashes and move it towards the front of the truck. This gave me room for my stamp. I drilled the hole about 3/4" deep and filled halfway with ashes. I used my plug cutter on the remaining piece of Hickory to make a plug. I had my wife make a red heart on her Cricut to put around the plug. I think it turned out pretty nice. Now I have to make a "tire knocker" for their 19 year old grandson with some of his ashes in it for him to place in his Jeep.. in case he ever gets into a tussle,, he will have his Grandpa there to help. LOL

Dakota52 started a similar thread in the "Other Woodworks" folder,, check it out for different takes on blade holders.

I like them all! I like them all! Not a mis-type,, that's just how much I like them! LOL I really like that Eagle. Is the pattern still available?

I like the one with the pink paint,, very nice.

Thanks to everyone and all of the ideas. I ended up going with a set of Bora wheels. They work perfect. When I need to use the bandsaw, I can pull the scrollsaw out of the way. When finished, I can back it right back into place.

I have this same one.. talk about being a bitch to get that case closed with everything back in it. You have to make sure that all of the attachments are in place.

I made this one a couple of years ago. I bought the pattern and planned on making for my Mom for Mother's Day 2017. I didn't get around to making it for her so I thought that I would make it for her for Mother's Day 2018... I lost her a couple of weeks before Mother's Day. Shortly after she passed away I made it. It now sits in my entertainment center. The base is Leopard wood and the top part is Walnut.
