  1. Been working on this for 2 months! Been sick the last 7 to 10 days. Thanks to all that took the time to make patterns for the words, very much appreciated. Used Maple and Walnut. The buttons are for looks only, mounted from the inside of the shop. Didn't realize how bad the shop door needs painted. I also try to save the pattern when I remove them from the piece,, I was able to use it to spray paint the inside of the door.
  2. That 3rd rack over looks kinda low,, you better get to cutting! LOL
  3. I like that, may have to borrow the idea.
  4. Ok, I see it now!
  5. Ok Brenda,, it's playing tricks on my eyes! How about a side pic of it?
  6. Welcome from Central Florida. What's your location?
  7. Yes and No Yes, it is awesome! No, I will never attempt that one!
  8. I like it! I have cut both of those patterns. Never thought about combining them. I donated the bike to the American Legion during a Motorcycle Charity ride for Children's Cancer. They auctioned it off for $95.

    Wolf

    He got into a fight with a "meaner" wolf! LOL
  10. Very nice! I have made several of those myself. Fingers get really close to the blade while making them because they are so small. I let the wife paint them up for me,, she likes doing the painting.
  11. I really like those kinds of signs. I haven't made one yet. Yours came out great! My daughter just became a dental assistant, I would like to make something like that for her.
  12. Very nice,, I like them all! I had the same blade changing issues myself when going from the P. Cable to the DeWalt. I know that you went with the Delta,, I'm guessing they are the same blade clamps?
  13. I have ever only used Olson blades. Since joining SSV I have heard Pegas mentioned quite frequently. I decided to pick up a starter pack of the Modified Geometry blades. That is the blade that I couldn't control, in the 2/0 size. I ended up using their size 1 with no problem. I will prob get some Olson's in the 2/0 and give it a try. Thanks for the help.
  14. You mean this was just a "warm up"?! I have to get her something else?! LOL Just came back from the store and I happen to see a box of Fun Dip. The candy from the '80's. She always liked that. I picked it up for her,, should be covered now.
  15. Looked all over for the pattern, haven't ran across it yet.
  16. Is that 3 boards put together or did you get some really sharp lines with some stain?
  17. Nice! I had a couple of people ask me to make some Patriots stuff. I can't do it,, not even for money!
  18. Made my first puzzle today. It is a Steve Good pattern. I also tried for the first time a size 2/0 blade. I tried it on a test piece of 2 pieces of 1/8" BB first. I could't control the blade at all. I tried more tension, less tension, faster speed setting, slower speed setting. Nothing helped. I went to a number 1 and had no problems. Made it for the wife,, couldn't wait until V-Day,, already gave it to her. LOL
  19. Maybe the iconic pose of Marilyn Monroe trying to hold her dress down?
  20. Wow! Super nice.
  21. My wife does some sewing and other crafts and I recently made her a craft area. I am gonna let her decide the finish on it. I was also able to save the cut out pattern when I was done cutting. Maybe I can use it as a spray paint pattern.
  22. I was using empty peanut butter jars. Now that I think about it, that may be an overkill! I have had one full with red oak sawdust and shaving from the planer for a couple of years now, along with another jar full of Walnut,, guess how much I have used out of them. Not even a test tube amount! Good idea.
  23. If you had to guess, how long did it take you to cut?
  24. Very nice! I was going to order that plan a few days ago. I think it is 333 cuts? That's a lot of blade changing!
  25. Very cool! I'm with Scrappile,, do you have a link to the pattern? Thanks!
