Brag Forum / Re: Latest (not so greatest) work
« on: December 14, 2012, 09:00:51 pm »Thanks so much for you comments and advice. Can you explain this "stack" cutting your talking about? I've recently started using pinless spiral blades and simply can not follow the lines. I'm using 1/4 pine plywood and I'm having an awful time using those blades for finer cuts.
As with anything worth while spirals take practice using them. Practice on scrap and use the spiral as you would a normal blade; IE turn the work and cut in the normal manner, at least at first. You will find that on most saws spirals cut better in one direction than the others. I was like you at first I could not follow a line with a spiral blade until I got enough practice. Some folks will tell you that spirals were made by the devil. Personally as your cutting skills increase you will find that spirals have their use but not for everything.
As for stack cutting if you are making more than one of an item and the wood you are using is not thick, less than 1/4 or so then you can stack two boards on top of each other and then either tape, nail or hot glue them together. Apply the pattern then cut it as you would for one. When you are done you well have two completed works for the cutting of one. One caveat though you have to watch your thickness. Most of us don't like to stack cut more than 1 inch or so, most of the time less.
Hope this answers your questions.

The Coffee Shop / A moment of prayer for the famlies
« on: December 14, 2012, 03:00:09 pm »
A most heinous act was commited against children today, a gunman killed at least 26 people with at least 18 of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.. A moment of reflection and prayer for those that have been affected by this; especially at this time of year. No motive is yet known the gunman was found dead (shot, by someone ).

Honestly they look great. Only you are aware of any "mistakes". Keep making them and you will get much better and make fewer "Mistakes". A pattern is not a bible that you have to follow religiously but a guide. I know form my own works that seldom do I follow a pattern exactly, I make changes to suit the wood, my skill level etc. Most of us judge ourselves too hard. Thanks for sharing your works with us.

Brag Forum / Re: Business Card Display Holder w/Clock
« on: December 11, 2012, 07:01:44 am »That is very classy. Love the way the cards are held up off the platform. The clock in that looks very nice. Is that your own design or did you get the pattern somewhere?
Thanks for sharing.
Mrcurtis that is my own design. I made the prototype in pine and did not like the angle that I had in it do I made the second one with a slightly less severe angle and of course out of black walnut. Of course like a lot of one of designs I do this one was off the cuff so to speak; I just had an idea and built it no drawings/plans.

Cut from 3/4 in. Black Walnut. The clock insert is from Woodcrafters. The project was sealed with Tung Oil and then finished with Deft Semi- Gloss Lacquer. The project is 9 1/2 inches long x 4 inches wide x 4 1/2 inches tall.
