  1. Thank You RJ.
  2. Thank You Peter.
  3. Yip they will gladly take it for nothing, I feel I’ve paid my dues, I’ve worked hard at my technique and quality of my work, people just don’t understand the hours of concentration that goes into a Fretwork Complex Pattern, very sad indeed.
  4. Thanks for your tip, I in fact use a silicone free wax that we can get here, which I use for the table saw and router table tops, the legs are waged with warm soapy water the dried and a coat of wax applied, the saw blades etc are checked and cleaned and coated with WD 40. With regards to me selling my cuttings, people are interested until you give them a price and then all of a sudden lose interest, they don’t appreciate this time and effort that goes into doing cuttings like this.
  5. Just finished this beautiful Russ Beard pattern, I double stacked 4mm Birch Plywood, cut with a Niqua #1 pin less blade, soaked in BLO/Mineral Spirits mixture, will get a light sanding and the a few Coates of clear Lacquer spray. This will be my last cut for 2024 and probably for a while, need to sell some of my cuts to cover the costs of the consumables. Planning on making some frames ( going to try a different technique) do some general wood workin and because we stay on the coast the sea air is very corrosive so I’m planning to wash all my machines, check them for any signs of rust and just generally give the all a good service.
  6. Thank You, I’m not a hole counter, drill ten holes at a time this forces me to get a mini break from the saw.
  7. Thank You Roberta, it was a great cut.
  8. Thanks so much MarieC, I appreciate your comments.
  9. Thank you, surprisingly it’s a highly modified Wen 16” saw that all we can get in South Africa, modified to suit my style of cutting, purrs along everyday.
  10. It’s a Russ Beard pattern done in 2021, if you belong to Scroll Saw Patterns Projects and more, go to the group and look under files.
