It's very nicely done. If you have ordered the Flying Dutchman Blades, you will find an immediate improvement in your cutting. After that there is only one thing that will help your cutting improve and that is practice practice and more practice. I know it sounds boring, but the learning curve is very steep and you will find your cutting will improve very quickly. Having said that I think you did a great job on the cross especially as you used the pinned blades.

They all look fantastic, I've cut the first one "Steve's gone fishin" myself, and posted a picture of how I broke it when I had a fall. I think your one looks much better though.

My saw came with two clampy things it says you can attach to a pinless blade and will let you somehow attach it to the saw.  But it doesn't actually give instructions or a diagram on how to do it.  (Harbor freight saw) I ordered some pinless blades so I can try it out whenever they get here (they don't sell pinless blades at my harbor freight, lol)

Those "clampy things should fit the same way you would fit a pinned blade, the main problem with them is that you need a hex key to fit one on each end of the blade, it is time consuming ane putting it bluntly "it's a pain in the a**e" but it is a method of using the pinless blades. I started out on a similar machine with those "Clampy Things" and used it for quite a while producing some nice work, it just takes a little longer.  I was lucky and had a small win on the lottery and upgraded my machine. I bought myself an EX16 which took about 20 seconds to change the blade from one hole to the next. I had a lot of trouble with that machine and Axminster Power Tools gave great customer service. We tried 5 new machines all to no avail, then they upgraded me to the EX21 free of charge and since then I've had no trouble with it.
