Love this sort of stuff Don W

The same to you and yours Phill. Don W

Great looking geese Phill.

Very nice work indeed. And some kind thoughts there.

I have had one of these saws for a couple of years now and am quite happy with it. I use pinless blades almost exclusively and had a bit of trouble threading the blade through from underneath "at the beginning", I am now used to it and am quite content with working that way. With the help of Big...

Another excellent job there Brian. I really like your (and Ruth's ) output. I see loads of stuff I would love to try 'but so much to do and so little time to do it' Don W

And a Merry Christmas to you too. And thanks. Don W

2 excellent pieces. Good comment from Phill. Don W

Thanks for that. My preference was for gluing together the front and back pieces. Sanding the backs then gluing together. Finish coat of varnish/sanding sealer after checking joins/fit.. Sanding the base and applying a piece of felt.

Hi All, I managed to stain the front and back of wiseman 2. My problem now is 'do I varnish each piece before assembly or varnish after I have the front and back pieces assembled. ?? Any ideas ???

Brilliant !! Thanks Pete

Hi Brian, Started cutting the backs today, it's all Tulipwood.

I think I should have cut out the letters and left the rest of the wood, like a reverse of what I did do :oops:

Hi All, I have just produced this cut of my name. There are quite a few mistakes but I should improve with practice :D I made this during a break I took while cutting the 3 wise men project. Don W

Hi All, I have been busy lately on this Kathy Wise pattern for a friend. I have the fronts cut, shaped and sanded ready to be stained. Next step is cutting the backs in the same manner and creating a 3d sculpture type set of standing figures. Don W

Thanks Brian, I know I am going to like this project. Thanks for the explanation/WIP. Did you consider waterslide decal paper for the lettering. I did a pen with a waterslide decal and you could feel the decal sitting on the wood. I gave it 2 coats of Melamine Lacquer, dipping it in a tube then...
