I've been watching him for years on PBS./  He can get pretty goofy sometimes but he does some amazing craftsmanship with just hand or no power tools.  His lathe is really cool.  My leg would give out.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: what glue to use

I've recently tried the gorilla glue brand super glue & it works great on wood.  I have also used a new glue called fusion it dries pretty fast and absolutely clear.

Thank you everyone.  I did not place a direct thank you to the designer as he/she forgot to sign the pattern they created for me.  This was the final pattern my son chose so whichever of you was the designer of this submission I thank you for your help and to all the other contributors I appreciate your efforts as well.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Recommended thickness of wood for welcome signs

I typically make them out of western red cedar and those boards are least expensive when I find them as fence boards on sale (each spring I purchase 10-12 6 foot boards) and stock up.  They are just slightly over 1/2 " and work great.

Just a suggestion.  On your dewalt blow out the upper switch and then place some clear packing tape over it in the on position.  This will alleviate it getting filed up with sawdust....Looking forward to seeing your new shop.

Please do share the display ideas.  How many business cards does it hold?  Do you mind sharing how much you were selling them for personalized?  They look nice.
