  1. Did you do this with a rose engine?
  2. I don't really get it I imported a photo and got all the spiral rings. Now what do I do?
  3. Do you have trouble keeping the belt tracking straight? I cannot get mine to track straight and always have to loosen and adjust.
  4. Very nice, I heard of a bowl from a board but never a bowl from a drink
  5. When I have done these I make out of solid wood, cut out letters then run thru planer to take off 1/4" before putting backer on so letters stand out.
  6. Saw this posted someplace and had to cut it. Cherry, walnut and a bit of cherry. Pattern was from Acutabove Woodworking. Hope grand son will have plenty of good playtime
  7. Thanks, I did have trouble maneuvering around with the #7 blade. Will try smaller. Thanks
  8. Tried a Polar 5 and 7 which seemed to work Do they sound larger that what you would use?
  9. I am stack cutting 2 3/8" soft maple. I've tried a #2 spiral and it just didn't seem to have the " strengthen" to do it. a #5 spiral made the kerf to big, Even having trouble deciding on a straight blade. The pattern is dense, but not that bad.
  10. I wish my wife' longarm quilting machine was only 3K also and all her other sewing machines:-)
  11. Wax on Wax off. Mr. Miyagi. Sorry, couldn't resist
  12. No I understand it can be scary. I did use Minwax wood hardener on most of it. It was very difficult to turn smooth ( at least for me). More sanding than I desire
  13. Finished this last week. Box Elder

    Seal the ends to prevent or slow down cracking
  16. Thanks everyone
  17. Doing some fret work and am doing the hair which is just a line. How do you do it without the holes showing when blade is thinner . Which if it wasn't it would not go thru the hole. Pic of front and back of what I am working on. How would you handle it?
  18. Love it. Looked on Steve's site (and my trash folder) but was unable to locate the pattern. Maybe a link to help me find it? Thanks Brian
  19. Starting the process on a photo editor, Makes sense. Thanks!
  20. I am just starting to try to use Inkscape to make a pattern. Here is the photo as well as an svg file (not sure if it will open). This is as close I was able to get to a workable pattern. Is this close? Also do you fix all the areas to avoid pieces not connecting on the program or do you have to go back and do it on a copy? Thanks in advance Brian street ok3.svg
