I was offered some quantity of this type of product recently. I know the finish is hard, and may eat up some blades. It seemed a shame to toss. Anybody have any comments on this? Thanks... Bob

Is it prefinished hardwood or laminate flooring?
Any wood that is free is good wood. There are tons of smaller projects you can do with wood flooring.
I can see lots of nameplates for desks, toys for kids, trivets.
You may even want to run it through a thicknes planer or a bandsaw to make the pieces a little thinner.
Laminate flooring is hard, but blades are cheap. You could make some nice candle sconces with laminate flooring.
If the worst thing to happen is you go through lots of blades then you cant go wrong. I still havent used the bamboo flooring I got but I will let you know how it goes once I do. It should be soon, I have to make a birthday present by the end of the month! I am thinking of a candle sconce with chinese figures cut in the bamboo.Last edited by CanadianScroller; 09-14-2005, 03:07 PM.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

I chose the wrong word.
I meant lanterns
like those from Scroller Ltd
There is also a nice wall lantern with a free pattern in Workbench Magazine May 2003 http://www.workbenchmagazine.com/mai...-lighting1.htm
They use metal inserts for cutting but the laminate would work for that too
I just finished one using 1/4 wood instead of metal and made it solar powered using a $5 garden light. I beefed up the rechargeable so it works dusk to dawn.

Reply to Old Tool - Rebornby tgiro01Thanks - To make the box joints I used a 1/2" straight bit and my Incra jig. I used the little right angle sled that comes with the Incra fence, but now that I have the miter slot, I'll be getting or building a good coping sled....

by tgiro01I cleaned some space on my workbench to set this thing up and then had to clean some more space. I read about the 54X45CM size, but I guess I wasn't really thinking about how big it is. I put an 18 inch ruler in for scale in the "built" picture.
TBH - I wanted to get it together...-

I do not have any section of 8 1/2 x 11.
I only have the one big document. The size is 31 x 21.5 inches. If I use poster option I can print on 12 pages. I just need one pattern at a time.
I like the way it was done in with previous DVD like 48. Each pattern...-
