Multi Species Nativity Puzzle - Starting Steps.
old sarge replied to rafairchild2's topic in Intarsia/Segmentation
Maybe you can find the issue you need here (kind of pricey)! I've used eBay for cooking magazines that my wife likes. https://www.ebay.com/b/Creative-Woodworks-Indiana-Magazine-Back-Issues/280/bn_7022375490 -
Keeping your dad involved with wood working but on a safer scale is a great idea. It keeps hands and mind active. As for the saw, and I am far from an expert and no RBI experience, if it runs without problems, I say it would be a good investment. You can always swap out the motor but in the meantime, your dad will have fun. I wish you both well.

Craftsman 16 inch. Pretty heavy little unit. Never had a problem. Sold it after a couple years when I got the Excalibur.

What type of wood is good for beginners?
old sarge replied to Me and my buddy's topic in Scrollers Q&A
I started scrolling while still in the army on a small craftsman pin type saw. Not having much free money, I snagged old pallets being thrown out and used the boards for a lot of small projects as well as learning to do inside cuts, lettering and the like. Pallets can have some nice wood. Not always of uniform thickness but a little hand plane or belt sander can even things up. Very inexpensive way to develop the skill. -
I like it. Simple yet practical and decorative!

Very nice. Should last a long time. Happy scrolling.

Sweet!

I am truly impressed. Thanks for sharing.

Good evening. At approx the 4:45 mark, there is some discussion about differences. I hope it helps.

I do use my hold down but infrequently. Most of the time it is up and out of the way but ready when necessary.

Congrats and enjoy! -
If you aren't paying goofy high credit card interest on the Delta, keep both. One never knows what the future holds.

I had never heard of the Niqua brand. So I found a write-up and blog with some comparison photos (Flying Dutchman tho and not Niqua). Great to gain new knowledge.

Welcome to the village from SE Arizona John.

I get up to the Gilbert area once in a while to visit my son and family. I cannot stand that traffic and congestion. The whole Phoenix metro area is stifling to me. My wife loves it though. I rebuilt an old captains desk many years ago and some of the wood took the finish and other areas did not. 4 0 steel wool dipped in the shellac and I just rubbed it/forced it into the 'iffy' areas. Might work with walnut, I cannot say. Might be worth a try on a piece of scrap. Good luck!

Welcome Tom from SE Arizona. I like your work. Workbench sized ducted paint booths are expensive. Maybe a range hood would work?
-
Welcome from SE Arizona. I've seen a couple of your videos. You do nice work.

Some photos of the Hawk you are looking at might help Hawk users give you pointers.

Headed out of town and had a great Christmas with the grandkids. But I have to admit it is so nice and quiet being with the wife and our dog back in our own home. Peaceful joy!
