I built this work bench over 30 years ago and I still love it. It is an easy build and not overly expensive depending on what vises you decide to use. I modified the design to add another vise. The design is great in that the top surface is easily replaced after years of scrapes, glue, stain etc. extremely sturdy yet not too heavy to move. Norm Abrahms work bench

That is SWEET!

The language is Czech, and translated says the same as your sign and ornaments Kevin. As Frank said you really don’t need to translate it the carving is rather obvious to any kind of woodworker. BTW, nice cutting on the ornaments.

My wife’s uncle, who is of Czech heritage, is an extremely talented carver and created this piece many years ago. This is one of my most precious pieces of his that sits in my office. Thought you might enjoy.

Bernd, we might need that steamship later this week! Stay dry.

That’s very cool!

Kevin, here is a video of a down to earth guy I follow on Youtube. You will see he uses a multitool to do the very thing you are considering. https://youtu.be/vLkRlbAmyQw?feature=shared I just bought a Milwaukee multitool based upon recommendations from carpenter friends. Milwaukee has a deal if you buy 2 batteries and a charger you get a free tool of which the multitool is one of the options. May want to check it out, the math works to take the deal.

I have this printer and it works well. Bought it several years ago for about $150 at Sam’s.

Actually you can find poplar with light purple/lavender streaks. I ran across several boards at my local lumber yard a year ago and they now sit in my shop. Never hurts to dig thru the poplar pile.

Thanks for your shared wisdom. I use 1/4 on portraits as I like the visual depth against the backer, just a personal preference.

I am curious if anyone has ever stack cut a sizeable portrait. I need to cut 3 portraits for family out of 1/4 ply. The size is about 8x10. It has a moderate amount of fine detail and I would like to optimize and at the very least stack two of the three to eliminate 3 individual cuttings. I stack cut ornaments and other smaller items often but am wondering if the larger more complex design will really cut well in a stack. I would love to hear some thoughts from those of you who may have wandered down this road. Thanks.

wow, that’s awesome
