Did my first bevel sawing ever

[Dawie]

Today I decided to try this. I have been putting it off long enough. With some trial and error I figured that it's best to use flat blades for the job. Unless I am doing something terribly wrong with spirals the pieces keep dropping out both ends even when the table is tilted past 10. I made the nativity scene Steve posted a while back still need to tidy it up, once I've done that I will post pic in brag. I am glad I did it and am already thinking of how to use this futher.

 Yeah.... Flat blades work the best.    Now you can get into making bowls. They're relatively easy and you can makes them out of patterns that you can't make on a lathe.

Yes flat blades are a must when doing bevel cuts. It is all a learning process. Trial and error.

Bevel cuts are great for inlays in box lids it also makes them more salable

Congratulations, Dawie!  It always feel great to accomplish a whole new thing, doesn't it? 

You might want to check out Steve's video(s) and patterns using the beveled cuts to make inlays.

    I'm still goofing around with this before I incorporate it into a project. Dave

Congrats on your first project!  I love cutting spiral bowls and have recently started making solid bowls.  I'm lucky because my table does not tilt, my head does.  It makes it a lot easier.

Have your spine checked out for goodness sakes!!!!  You must see the whole world on a 22 degree angle!!!    Which way does your head tilt? 
Right or Left?  I can tilt my head either way and up and down too!! 

OH!! You mean the head on your SAW!!!! Well, that is different.
NEVER MIND.

  The devil made me say that.

Yeah, I was going to say something, but decided not to.

I really thought she meant the head on her person.   

[julief]

OK, OK, I re-read my post.  I will have to be more specific next time.

[Becky]

LOL.  Looks like I missed most of the fun so I won't chip in any of my own.  Poor Julie caught enough today already.

Thanks Becky.
