    I agree with several others who have said to keep the outside a natural color. You may want to use an oil to help bring out the grain. Once dry you can coat it with a clear like Frank suggest. Regardless, you did a great job.

    Wow! Nice! I'm glad you were looking for something easy. Lord knows what you would have picked if it had been something difficult. Apparently I'm cutting way to slow because that would have taken me a couple days working nonstop.

    Great project and a great movie. One of my all-time favorites. This project is something your grandson will cherish forever!

    If you find out what type of wood it is, please let us know. Thanks.

    I built my stand from 2X4s and used a 1 1/2 inch thick top from a repurposed table. I did put a layer of tool box drawer liner between the saw and table. The liner is from HF and was very inexpensive. Just to add, I started with a 3/4 inch plywood top and the vibration was intense. That's why I switched to the 1 1/2 inch top. Now the vibration is zero and I'm using a cheap WEN saw. I learned that a solid base is the key!

    Hello all,

    Dak0ta52 replied to Louie's topic in Introductions

    Hi Louie and welcome from SE North Carolina. I'm a new scroller and have learned a lot from the members of the Village. Please post you work. Would love to see it.

    If you check with the manufacture of your drill press they usually have aftermarket chucks with the correct arbor you would need. Some of these will close to zero. If you know what arbor you need you can pull them up on Amazon. Seems the most common arbor is the JT33-MT1 or JT33-MT2

    Turned out very nice, Tony. You and your son did a great job.

    I use a Dremel plunge router also with a #60. I've got the new 4300 Dremel and haven't had any problem with power at a lower speed. If I have areas in the pattern that will accept a larger bit I'll use my drill press. I also have the smaller chuck to adapt my drill press to a smaller bit but found it didn't center as Ray experienced. When I want to use a bit in my drill press that is smaller than what it will clamp, I'll wrap a small copper wire around the base of the small bit and insert it into the drill press chuck. That seems to work pretty good.

    Excellent as always, Tbow. I especially like the finish on Elvis.

    Very nice, Brent.

    The cutting itself is actually 11X14. Thanks!
  22. Dak0ta52
    That looks very clean, Kris. Like the different colors on the backer for the different areas. Great job.

    Excellent, Wichita. I sure can't tell which is top or bottom. I have to be careful when cutting two layers of 1/4 inch.
  24. Dak0ta52
    Wow! Fantastic cutting and painting!
  25. Dak0ta52
    it seems the consensus is a rough frame. I agree so it doesn't distract from the clean portrait. Very nice cutting by the way.
