After 68 blades, 2 1/2 weeks and 10 six-packs--

Finally finished "Spirit of the Warrior" from the current issue of WWC.
My saw liked the pattern by Jeff so much it kept eating blades.

I liked what I saw while burning off the fuzzies with a pencil tourch I decided to do the front that way too. I like it.

Very good idea!

Great work John.
How thick was the wood that you used? Did you use a spiral or flat blade?

Thanks for letting us see a picture of your work.

I stack cut 4 1/8" Baltic Burch ply & Cherry. I had to use #1 flat end spiral because the 2/0 with the end twists would not hold in the clamps and broke even more. I found that my problem was that I clamped the bottom of the blade at the full bottom of the clamp. This would not allow the clamp to swivel and the added stress caused the blades to break. I now lift up the blade from the bottom clamp a hair before securing the clamp and have no problem. Sometimes I have to snip off a little from the top of the blade to fit but that is OK since I snip at about a 45* angle and helps with finding the bottom feed holes.

Beautiful, It is hard to come up with new complements when everyone else beats me to it.
I have a lot of respect for anyone that completes one of Jeff's complex designs. It takes a lot of patience and concentration.
