    http://lmscnc.com/3668 This one shows zero. But it is 3x the price and you have some other adapter....

    I use the menu activity, all activity. and still miss some. It depends how many updates happen. I might not want to scan thru 117 updates. Oh , My artistic idea I could not get it done in 6 weeks. I had this vision bigger than my immediate capabilities. But next september it will be done. I need to learn lots of stuff. Which in progress. Some new technology was just announced this month. I will incorporate that also. It will use scrollsaw items. It will be fun project. Anyway might be a bad time to "follow" this topic.

    @Myrtlewood Welcome to the village. I have purchased some myrtle wood and used it in a couple of my projects. My source was in Oregon. Myrtlewood is a good hardwood and has a unique smell. Where are your from, general location. Tell us about your interests. Ask a lot questions and then teach us your techniques. Welcome.

    Your work is so striking to the eye. I love how you kept the green grass mixed with the paws. Shows some depth and realism. On both the whiskers look like some of the wood would fall out. Are some of the whiskers painted on?

    Oh with some more thought and imagination, I can see how a spiral blade needs to be used.... Keep letters oriented bottom toward you. Angle the table to left or right. When cutting the sides of the letters without spinning the wood, the letters will be angled. When cutting the top you don't spin the wood. You just use side of spiral blade to go across top and bottom. Thanks you got me thinking.

    Dried fish sounds better than cooked greasy potatoes. Do these boxes store the knives?

    This sounds fun. Show examples please. I have done angled cuts for bowls and relief inlay. I like using spiral blades. So why does this technique need spiral blades?

    So this goes between my work bench and scrollsaw. I have to lower it for the hawk, about 4 inches. There is a lot of engineering offices goin out of business. A copy machine company closed down during work at home. Another electronic company had lab equipment being sold. After they sold it all I found this chair out back. So put your ears out for offices near your area that are closing down.

    Ok, I guess I should have pasted the link the first time.... https://www.officestarstore.com/products/osp-dc940-231 Since we are drafting our design in wood, we need a drafting chair. Or some of us might use drafting chair to enjoy a draft drink.

    I found this one behind a office building. They went out of business. But I looked the brand name "Office Star Ptoducts" up and they are really good. I have been using mine daily for 2 yrs. It did show signs of wear when i got it 4 yrs ago. Here is some pics. Bottom label.

    At first I was thinking Lacewood was used for the middle. But the epoxy looks good also.

    I did try that for my mining cars, gold ore. The afternoon breeze blew them all over the place. I just swapped some of my rocks with the neighbors white quartz rocks and painted them with viens silver and gold.

    Hi all, Just sharing my first attempt at lettering fret work. I wanted a 20 mule team concept for my outdoor garden train. I wanted to generally keep the old wagon concept. I made a wood shell that slips over a flat car. So that made it wider than track, but still kinda resembles the old wagon. The wood is 6 inches front to back. This is a proof of concept. That is working out errors of the design and is it worth doing the 2nd one. wagon shell wood: red oak 1/4" wheels: dark walnut printed logo from borax laundry soap was used as cutting pattern. Black paper as backing for lettering. Those donkey no mule ears and legs were a bit trickey. The logo showed tails for each mule. I left those off. 2/0 spiral blade for both lettering and 20 mules with wagons. pegas #3 blade for wheels. stacked cut 1/2" walnut. Total stack is 1inch.

    Ooohhhh very good. I like it.

    Looks pretty good with the shadows. But I hope you mean this task is over. Not your entire job / career.

    I might have shared this before.... but this a picture of my office. I have Wyatt facing Doc on another wall. We got these at a craft show. The artist was out of Wyatt but he promised us he will be back at the Gilroy garlic festival. We made arrangements to meet him on his way out. After he packed up and was driving home. We waited and waited. He finally texted us that there was a live shooter at the festival. It took him a week to be able to go back into the festival area just to pack up his stuff. We met up with him and got the picture. Also got his story of what happened. I just had to share a story of another type of gunslinger.

    Has anyone made an Elf door for the bottom of the tree? This for that special small gift? The gnome doors could be re-used for Christmas elfs. Then the christmas keys can be used.
