Last weekends wood show

[Rolf]

That is certainly different. What will you do for chess pieces?
Clever design, like it a lot.

Our club had another great show this past weekend. I will post some more pictures after I resize them. But for the moment I will toot my own horn.
My Intarsia piece Charlies Angel, a Bruce Worthington design. received a 1st place ribbon in Intarsia, and the Steam punk box that I made for the magazine...

They really do look great. Thanks for posting them....

I have been very happy with the two Epson printers that I have. I have had the Epson Photo R380 for some time. It uses individual color cartridges. And it also prints on CD's, which was important to me at the time. When I retired I lost my access to larger print format so I needed a printer do at least...

[Rolf]

How to incorporate this technology into our hobby is a good question. Looking forward to see what you come up with. I am impressed with what useful stuff you have already done.!

Our local library had a Tech expo yesterday. They were demonstrating two 3d printers one is like yours the other...

Nice setup with a great variety of stuff. How well do the dogs do? I have been thinking of doing a series of Judy gale Roberts dog designs.

[Rolf]

I like the design. The name Mahenda is in the upper corner of the pattern.

[Rolf]

Good luck with your sales! What will be your price on the clock?...

[Rolf]

They are really neat little Ghosts! The painting looks great, some projects just need to be painted , this is one of them.

[Rolf]

I agree, the Cherry was a great choice. Beautiful designs excellent cuttings. Regarding the Winter retreat design, I am not a big fan of cutting this type of work, that said I cut this design last year after a friendly nudge from Charles. It is probably the most enjoyable fretwork project I have ever...

Our clubs annual show will be November 10 - 11 at the Old Bethpage restoration Village on Long Island.

I have always been curious about alcohol based stains, so I ordered a few colors. red,blue, and two different greens. Boy are they intense and are very easily thinned to lighten the colors.
I wanted them primarily for wood turnings. They penetrate very nicely. I have payed a bit on a few scrolled...

[Rolf]

The stain adds a lot to an already great design.

The Roof! Or you will be replacing walls etc. down the road.

Most blades are re-branded since there are few actual blade manufacturers. I wonder who makes PS woods blades. I would love to see the lineage of all our blades.

[Rolf]

Bill I have also tried the Pegas 2/0 28 tooth version, that is not as aggressive but still cuts faster than the Olson 2/0. I am still trying to tune in the right tension and saw speed for these blades....

[Rolf]

Thank you all for sharing your experiences in a civilized manner. Blade questions can get rather heated....

[Rolf]

Thanks for the feed back.
Most of my cutting is in the 2/0 range and the rest of the time, I use the Olson Mach 3 blade and probably stick with it.
I did not realize just how hard I was pushing the Olson 2/0 28TPI blade, I have been so used to doing that.

But so far I am happy...

[Rolf]

I have been using Olson blades since I started scrolling, Over the years I have tried all of the different blades and still came back to what I have been comfortable with. I have now kicked into my ornament production mode. That is stacks of 1/16 (1.5mm) 6 up. My ornaments have lots of fine detail so...

[Rolf]

Not to distract you but for the rare times that I need to use something like the jigsaw I use my Roto Zip, It takes practice and not as easy to control as the Jigsaw.
