  1. I was buying it from a major retailer. It got thinner and thinner in recent time. It peeled off like paper. I found it at my local lumber yard, it cost a little more but is much better.
  2. Great work on each one, stay safe throughout the holiday's.
  3. Both look great, personally I would use brown.

    Urn

    Thanks. I just got some oak and cherry from a family friend, I'm going to give it a try.

    Urn

    How do you know how big to make an urn. Dad wants me to make him one and he weighs about 200 lbs. I weigh 155. How big would it have to be? Is the bottom supposed to be removable in order to put the ashes in it? I have seen some made out of stone and the inside was pretty small. I want to find some ideas to make one and adding an Irish symbol to the top, maybe a shamrock for dad. I appreciate the help you all give.
  6. VERY NICE!
  7. Thanks everyone
  8. I've had this pattern for a long time and finally finished it. I just thought it was funny. Hope you like it. The original pattern was done by Mike Fehring.
  9. Nice work!
  10. Great job.
  11. I’ll look in to those next time I need blades. Thanks.
  12. Anyone else ever use your hammer to flatten the ends of a spiral blade a little more so it was easier to get in the clamps? I never thought of it before. It works fine so far and hasn't weakened the metal. Time will tell.
  13. I'm not sure you were asking me but I forgot to add, if I don't have enough clamps I use landscaping bricks sitting on another piece of wood on top to hold it down.
  14. Very nice!
  15. I've done that with Birch too, I used gorilla glue. It worked fine.
  16. Beautiful work!
  17. Those are nice. I really like the first one.
  18. Ever try using Teflon tape?

    Thanks again.
  20. Thanks again. I haven't seen any recent movies of the Beatles. Steve Good made a pattern of Abbey Road but on the shape of a guitar pick. I have done that one and it is in the garage too.
  21. Thanks, I used 321 on the portrait and semi poly on Abbey Road for the finish.

    Thanks everyone.
  23. I've done these before, one of you folks gave me the patterns but I don't remember who. Thanks again though. I used Poplar and each are about 11 1/2" x 13". I did them for a lady I work with. Thanks for looking.

    This is the 182nd cross I've done over time. Nice piece of oak for a pattern I really like. 183 and 184 are sitting on my saw half done. I have 92 on the walls in the garage and including in the ones in the house I have 119 all together. No idea what I'm gonna do with them all.
  25. That came out really good, nice work.
