Communion cross

[Rolf]

Thanks for the nice comments! Pictures do not do the Bocote justice.
This project taught me that I will need to build myself a decent router table this winter.
I actually cut the slot for the maple on my drill press. It runs so smooth and fast. a router bit and an X Y table. made very...

I have made a cross for each of my grand nieces and nephews, this is probably the last, at least for a while.
The wood is Bocote and curly maple. I did use the scroll saw to radius the ends of the maple. but most of the work is router and table saw.
The maple is inset into the Bocote....

Dave I just sent you a message.
I am in for 6 ornaments.

[Rolf]

It should be delivered shortly.

[Rolf]

Stunning, especially the plywood one.

[Rolf]

Yes! That is an amazing project. Did you make all of the parts including the wheels ? Also the way you have it presented really makes a huge difference.

A couple of weeks ago our village had a mini event to bring people out to the stores. The Village was very busy, everyone wore masks and waited their turn to go into a store. I think most people just needed to get out of the house. The stores were doing a brisk business. We have had a big influx of...

Thanks for the additional pictures. I really like jour design on the plater/bowl. Who's design is the Owl?

Wearing masks is mandatory here, it has become a routine.My community has 0 new cases of covid for several months.
New York is under 1% in new cases. that may change with the schools opening up.
We have a show after Thanksgiving but it is consignment so I don't have to be there....

I am so glad they eliminated the dust collection holes. They are nothing but a pain in the ___.

[Rolf]

Linda you really have a Gift! To be able to create a design and then take it all the way to a finished project....

[Rolf]

Congratulations! Well deserved. Could you post closeups of all three projects....

[Rolf]

For my fretwork I have been using a small belt driven mini drill press from Micro Mark.

[Rolf]

You Have some throat on that Scroll saw...

Jody P, Dremel must have cheapened it, I bought one years ago but rarely use it it was not a smooth operating device.
I agree with your comment about buying the best tools that you can afford. I have been replacing all of the tools that I am not satisfied with. My latest being the drill press....

[Rolf]

Sorry for the lack of responses., but this is not a saw that many people are familiar with. your best bet is to go on Craigs list and Ebay to see if you can find any. This one is in exceptional condition....

And 2020 marches on! Hope all goes well with both>

One thing June said to me when I shattered my elbow. There will be no humility! ask for help! And I did need help with lots of things.

[Rolf]

You both will be in our prayers. A suggestion based on my recent surgeries. I always like having June in on my discussions with the Doctors, she picks up on things that I missed and also asks questions I did not think of or forgot. Since they don't allow anyone else in the doctor suggested I put my...
