    Dick, Thank you for asking. Since we are a commercial orchard/gardens we are pretty crazy this time of year. But when I venture down to Paul's neck of the woods I will definitely look him up ....if he still wants me to... I have really enjoyed everyone on here. I have tried quite a few scrolling pictures but have not been satisfied with them enough to show them on here...soon I hope, though.

    It looks like a John Deere! Wow, loved how you did the wheels and tires....mine would look either egg shaped or a bunch of squares ...Really nice color choice...it is simply amazing

    TJ, that is another awesome piece. I really admire how you accented your resin. The Dragon is just beautiful!

    Dick, that is an amazing piece of art. I love the color you added as well. Even your flag is awesome! I really like your anchor. Very nicely done!

    Thank you so much. I think I understand what you are saying and do understand how difficult it must be to make a video. I did try a tree with your instructions...my trunk and large branches worked but my gaps around the leaves are too big. I believe I used too wide of a blade. I used a spiral blade for the first time for those (it sounds like I need to use the same blade throughout). I don't think I like the spiral blade very much because it cuts pretty wide and seems a bit squirly. I will try again with a smaller width blade....I may end up calling you for help if I keep having difficulty . Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge. It is very much appreciated!

    Dave. Thank you ...one last question. I thought both the Inlay and this one are set at 2 degrees. Is the inlay at a different angle? Thanks again

    That is such a great idea....I am sure he will keep that forever! that is such a great drawing for a 9 year old!

    I have trouble finding the hole in the table as well, ever since I tipped it up to see better. So I tipped it down a notch and that seems to help, plus it stops my pieces from sliding off the table and landing on the concrete....ohhh I hate when that happens.

    That is simply amazing...the kid needs to be an engineer. I showed my husband as well...so impressive...I bet he could hook up a remote to it someway and then really drive it around...so fun. Thanks for sharing!

    Now that I tightened my arm (it would come down before I finished tightening the blade...so they broke or were bent] I am top feeding...but I can see a reason for bottom feeding.
  13. MarieC
    That is so pretty, especially the way you did the flowers! Well done

    Jerry. Thanks for all the great tips. So yes. I have to often get down under the saw to put that darn little blade in the clamp...I just assume it is because I am such a rookie, which I surely am....That is the other reason I wanted to try bottom feeding because tilting the board up seems easier than getting on the floor and clamping that blade. I will keep practicing... thanks again for your help!

    Okay, I think I found it and tightened it....it seems to be holding better. I will give it a try and tighten it more if needed. Kevin, thanks so much for your help! Very much appreciated! mc

    Well maybe I should look for tips on top feeding...does anyone know how to keep the Ex 21 arm from coming down when you want it to stay up? I sometimes wish I had a third arm!
  17. MarieC
    Paul. Thank you for your insight.....well, the saw blade direction makes sense. Maybe that is why I am having difficulty getting it in the holes when I try top feeding.... so, my EX 21 arm sometimes comes down when I am top feeding before I can finish getting the blade in the hole. Then my blade is all bent . So I thought I would try bottom feeding and just looking for any tips I can gather before giving it a try. mc

    I like the idea of "line of site", it will also keep me from getting lost. So when you speak of a dental probe, is it like one of the ones below or does it have a bigger tip?

    Thank you....So Ray, is the counter sink attached to your small drill bit or do you do it after you drill the holes?
  20. MarieC
    Dick, Thank you, so after you drill your holes, you would turn the board over and take a pencil and put it in the holes then spin it around? That sounds like an easy way to do it. Will that work on hard woods such as walnut? Thanks again

    Thank you Gene, Are you talking about using maybe a dremel tool? or just a hand drill?
  23. MarieC
    Thank you. Great idea about adding a counter sink...I will have to look for a small bit with one of those attached to it. The smallest one I have is way too big...

    So I am going to do what I think is called "fret work" and I am trying to figure out the best way that will work for me. I get how to top feed but I would like to try bottom feed...However, I do not know how to feed an itty bitty blade into an itty bitty hole without climbing under the board. Since I am new I would at least like to know what tips and tricks to try before totally giving up on it. So why would someone bottom feed vs top feed? Does the board look better because there are no scratches on top from top feeding? Thanks ahead of time. Marie
