i have put a dust extraction system on my saw so dust is not much of a problem also the top has been anodized so there is plenty of slip

Lee is big in stature but not in height, he was in his time one of the best golfers in the world and it is sad that he died at a not so old age, always ready for a good joke or wise crack but a very serious golfer

Gabby you are in the wrong country, NZ does not have crocs. plus NZ is not big enough to have outbacks, why don't you visit some time, here is a photo and it had only been going an hour, this morning it was 4" thick

This work shop was run by the Manawatu guild of Woodworker scroll saw section and have been held for about 8 years on a regular basis,the first project was a simple stand up butterfly and consisted of fret, veining and scroll cutting simple but a very good exercise, the second was a choice on compound or a jigsaw, I choose the compound that was also a jig saw puzzle, and we also had around 2 hours of discussions plus also mixing with and talking to other scrollers, and yes Russ that is Merlin, I think Blackie had gone out for a few moments, and yes the Excalibur is still a great saw but unfortunately the NZ suppliers have let me down on the repairs that were supposed to be done
This was my second work shop and will definitely attend other as they come around, I will post tyhe projects when I get some time
