  1. That is so beautiful and I love the Elm.....I also agree with the others regarding the more earthy tones or black background for an animal. That is such a beautiful cutting that the more gold tone or earth tones would really make it look richer from my humble opinion.
  2. So fun! Makes me want to go fishing!
  3. Robert, I am pretty much the same as Rodney @Dak0ta52, I like the smallest sharpest blades as well. And Ron @Ron Johnson is so right on about the wood....Nice wood is soooo much more fun to work with. On blade speed, I would say my blade speed is medium-slow, and I feed it slow because that works best for me. I used to do things so fast, work, eat, run , whatever.... and now that I am retired, I say to myself, "Self, what is the hurry?" when I feel I am rushing.... and these days I do so much better. Hope to meet you someday soon.... From one Eastern Washingtonian to another
  4. Wow! Amazing!
  5. Dick, that is absolutely beautiful and great work cutting through such thick wood....I love that Mahogany...so beautiful!
  6. Denny, I really think you did a wonderful job of cutting and it is a beautiful design...reminds me of my spirograph that I had as a kid. On my computer the wood looks orangish, but I have a dumb computer , but I am sure it is beautiful in person, I really Love Walnut. Can't wait to see the rest!
  7. Robert, I did not mean that I start the blade at the bottom. On my EX 21, I put the blade in the top clamp first and then in the bottom one. It is when I am threading it through holes that I sometimes have difficulty putting the blade in the bottom clamp, especially the super small blades 2/0 for example I will then sometimes switch the blade out. This is probably because I bent it a few too many times....
  8. This thread has been helpful for me as well. I pretty much have figured out how to tell now when I need a new blade and as others said, some I need to change out quite quickly while others seem to last much longer and they are the same brand and same size blade. Not sure why that is. I also found that if my blade it newer I can put it in the clamp below the table of my EX 21 a lot easier.
  9. Oh, I just love those Ron! I love the choice of woods as well!
  10. Kris, as always, amazing work!
  11. Wow...great idea, I could use my lathe and add a cup insert to the bottom to put in my cup holder in my car...totally cooler than those weather tech ones!

    Loved the textured look...and cutting ebony...wow, that is like cutting stone. How thick was it?
  13. Hmmm, would be fun to see a collection of Block heads!
  14. Wow! Those are really cool! If you do Washington state, I would say green for us since we are the Evergreen State! Can't wait to see it!
  15. Ron, that is just fantastic! And a nice size. Just AWESOME!
  16. Very nice! Great cutting of those intricate roses!
  17. Wow, that is great! Well done
  18. Charlie, Amazing work as always. Banks has been acting a long time. I remember him in some movies I think as far back as the 1980's. I haven't watched this latest show though. Well done!
  19. Really pretty! very nicely done!
  20. Al, Welcome to the village from Eastern Washington! This is a great place to learn and make wonderful friends
  21. Paul, It looks great! I am sure the person you are giving it to will love it!
  22. Really nice box that captures the dog's personality. Your GF will love it. Really nicely done!
  23. Charlie, I am with you there! Paul, I hope it won't be too much work to redo. I am glad you were able to salvage at least some of it. It looked pretty darn good in person when I was over there the other day.
  24. Wow, Rodney, Excellent work. I, too, love the bike...very amazing work. I am so happy for you to have such a nice saw....Happy times ahead!
