Now this is a project that not only could be used as a Spice Rack it also could be
many things like in a Childs room or I can see it in a bathroom.  Very Good craftsmanship on this Frank.  I like it a lot.  Danny  :+}

Your work looks Great.  I also vouch that FM are only for people looking to spend a buck and hope to come home with 10 worth.  A well established Craft Show will bring
all kinds of people that are there because only Hand Made Crafts are for sell.  I am down here in Alabama and do a craft show in Nov. and some years are better than others.  Have learned that people around here are Leary about spending a big dollar.
Have members here that live in different cities that tell of selling real well.  Anyway
 
I would say your Plaque is well worth $40 Plus, but around here maybe I would get $25.      My 3 cents worth....  Danny  :+}

Shogun....  If you are using a soft wood such as pine I have become a strong believer in using a FDUR-#1 blade.  Keep tension set correctly, don't push the wood into the
blade.  Learn to hold a corner of the blank and rotate it slowly while cutting a curve.
Keep the saw speed around 75%.  A slow speed to me seems to loose control.  Just
because speed is fast doesn't mean you have to cut fast.  My 2 cents....Danny  :+}

This Window....  ASCII Filter Options....It has boxes to check for these....
                           character  set....
                            default font....
                              language....

« on: January 14, 2013, 02:03:26 pm »

I like both the set ups shown.  Mine is similar.  Magnifiers are made to magnify that
lil cutting line.  I use magnify glasses to cut with.  I have tried to use the magnifier part
with difficulties being able to adjust my eyes to what I am cutting.  To me I just do not
like it, but the round florescent light that is built in is Great.  Boy both of your scroll
areas sure look clean.  LOL  Danny  :+}
