Those should really sell well!

Sometimes crazy is the best place to be....and we have soooo much company!

It seems your home is getting all of your TLC. But that kitchen project sure turned out spectacular.

The darker graining in the wood almost create a light coming down on the angel effect in the middle. Nice choice!

That could make some really intriguing fret work pieces when everything is cut at an angle. Thanks for the heads-up!

Sales here in Arizona for me are strongest in October. October is nearly done for me and I'd say I'll end at around 115% of last October. Fewer more expensive pieces (intarsia), but far more sales on items under $50. If we could predict trends accurately we'd have it made! And, my custom orders...

You guys are great. I will clean out the inside, check brushes, and commutator just for general maintenance sake. And since I have quite a lot of jigsaw work to do for a large yard art type order, I will purchase a 2nd jigsaw. I'll use one for awhile, then switch to the other and rotate usage through...

I'm seeing a bit of a trend --- the older models hold up quite well. I bet they utilized a lot more metal inside and perhaps even a tad of insulation properties. Mine was Ryobi. I was wavering between Bosch or Makita this time, and toyed a little on a Festool. Festool's price makes me wince. But...

Question---a guy I was talking to yesterday suggested I replace the brushes. Would that have anything to do with getting too warm after 1/2 hour of use (when it didn't used to)?? I'm not mechanically inclined, but I'm curious. If that would fix the problem I'd love to keep what I have. If that's...

Sometimes to achieve the results desired on scrollwork I do paint, and when I need to I definitely do so before glue up. It keeps the seams clean and you don't have to worry about stray brush strokes. I don't however paint the areas I intend on applying the glue to. I only paint the surfaces which...
