    Locally; Lowes. Online; Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Washers-Commercial-Standard-Stainless-Quantity/dp/B01MEHT3EO/ref=pd_ybh_a_d_sccl_1/137-4733945-9562620?pd_rd_w=yERTo&content-id=amzn1.sym.67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_p=67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_r=DV5E747JMCJA92ZXQX5J&pd_rd_wg=Y1ynv&pd_rd_r=60db8cd8-21aa-43b6-80a0-49af5687f83f&pd_rd_i=B01MEHT3EO&th=1

    I can get the extra small #2 screws and washers at my local Lowes, they carry them in the 1/4" length. I use the panhead screws instead of counter sunk heads, as I find that adjusting the length using the washers works better with the panheads. I have found that the vast majority of adhesives state to allow 24 hrs (at room temperature) to fully cure.

    I think I need to discuss this with an insurance person. I can understand if items are just value added, with minimal physical time involved ( no offence intended ) but I track my time when I'm cutting a project, it's what I base my prices on, the time involved in cutting project is, by far, the most expensive aspect of what I do...

    I don't remember the how or when but if I make a purchase at HF I have an email copy in my inbox by the time I get home, and HF is only 5 miles away.

    A question came up about what to use for inventory control. Do any of you use any software to deal with this, paper trails, insurance needs, or ??? I can see three major areas to track; tools and the consumables that go with them, raw materials, and finished products. Each of those main areas could have more than one subclass. Any ideas?

    How quickly did the pictures sell, how many more could you have sold if you had more? And, yes, we have to use the "shotgun" approach to find what sells in a particular market.

    When I first saw your project, very nice by the way, the stand reminded me of a "Moai", one of the giant easter island heads. I looked online and Steve Good has a pattern. I intend to modify the pattern so that slots will be cut across the bridge of the nose to hold the picks. This will allow the younger users to "pick their nose". I'll see myself out.

    It was a member of a scroll saw group, they have not responded to the additional pictures I posted in response. Sometimes you just can't win.

    This just in, on Facebook someone commented that this project could not have been cut on a scroll saw. How can I prove it? A video? Or??

    $15.00/hr = $.25 a minute. You'd have to be able to crank these out in 8 minutes each to reach that very low wage. Unless you could find a very serious "hook" (fancy box or highly figured wood), I'd just look for a supplier who can sell in much lower quantities.

    Another very nice cutting, Bravo.

    Just got my jump drive in the mail. The new drive is 30g compared to the old one of 4g. There is 19.5g of data on the drive; all the patterns, both books of Vase patterns, all of Steve's Youtube videos as well as all of his video's of conventions and such.

    I was able to dl this as an .svg so the Stroke, Fill, and resizing were a snap.

    The finished piece. Pattern from an Etsy seller, meant for a laser, but hey. 1/8" ply (cheap). Five layers, FD Polar #2/0 blades, Minwax stains used, special Walnut 224, cherry 235, Homefront #17334 gloss white paint for the background of the lily. The lettering was the most difficult part, I started with #1 blades and broke the tiny pieces on the lettering, switched to #2/0 blades and changed the saw over to the short stroke.

    Barbara, At the top of this web page, click on "resources" then "village university"; there should be two buttons, one for Gimp and the other for Inkscape. These are tutorials from Travis and they should get you started.

    I'm Facebook friends with Al. I let him know there was interest in the pattern and he gave a short response. So, at least we know he's alive and kicking.

    The bushings from Advanced Machinery are $12.55 ea. pretty inexpensive for OEM.

    Hey, you need to let us know when a new book is out. Probably in the "off topic lounge". Mine's on the way.

    Steve's wife and family have completed updating the catalog and it is now available for purchase. I've just ordered the new jumpdrive which has all the patterns and more. There is an option to just buy the patterns from 2025 and 2026. I'll post when I get the drive.

    In keeping with my updating my table saw safety gear, here is a push stick from Steve's collection: I didn't have any 1/4: plywood for the center so I laminated two, 1/8" pieces. The side handles are 5/16" Elm.
