Well, we never knew you were called Lissa :shock: Good retro/distressed look to the back toesy and overall its a great effort and I'm sure he'll be pleased with it. Well done. What's next?

They're a couple of sweeties . . . . awww bless =D>

It's not a kennel it's a barn :shock: in fact it's a RED barn coz she's American . . . . well the breed is anyway :wink: . . . . and when did cats have an inferiority complex Graham :duno:

Nice looking cat house Bob. I love how rustic it looks. I made one for one of my Maine Coon cats who l-o-v-e-s lounging in cat baskets and paper bags etc. I built her a red barn and she loves hanging out in there.

Great piece of work toesy and what a difference after you've applied that finish. It's well cut and has an overall very pleasing result. I'm sure your father-in-law will be very pleased with it . . . . he might even let you take his daughter out for a drink? Good effort matey. Have you got...

S-T-R-U-T-H Geoff . . . brilliant effort sir. I'm gonna print it out and have a good read with a large glass of red wine. Thank you soooo much for doing this and I'm sure a lot of us will benefit from your efforts. Thanks again. Barry

Not a bad effort at all, especially for a first attempt, well done. Personally, I think I'd either finish it in a high gloss yacht varnish or rub in some Danish oil. I'm sure the intended recipient will be thrilled to bits.

I've never used a pinned bladed saw so I'm sure what procedure you follow but for pinless saws you always clamp the bottom first then do all the adjustments at the top where you can see what you're doing. Might be worth giving it a whirl?

If I can go OT for a moment Geoff, for those of us who have never tried to sell stuff at a craft show, would you be willing to start a thread and give us some hints and tips on what sells, what to avoid, quantities to made etc, etc. I'm sure a lot of us would find it very useful as long as we...

My saw is pinless as standard so I may not be able to help but I'll try. With my pinless saw I attach a blade clamp to a blade with a key then install the blade into the saw. That fixes the bottom. I then offer up the blade to the top clamp on the 'C' arm and tighten it onto the arm with the...

Fabulous piece of work Martin and very well cut. There's some very neat work there and a nice finish. You musta been well chuffed with the result. Well done.

Nice job Graham and some very neat cutting. Well done.

Way2Go Geoff . . . I wouldn't want to be responsible for you losing money :(

Some really good comments there +1 chaps. James, do you mean that you gat a rapid 'slapping' sounds as you cut? If so you could also check that the blade matches the thickness of the wood? Before I got the Hegner I had a Delta scrollsaw and that thing was forever slapping wood. It used to...

Hi Bryan, would that be American patterns or Americans per se that can be OTT? Barry

Well, good man Geoff . . . that'll keep you outta the pub for a l-o-n-g time :wink:

Yep, got it in one toesy and your questions made perfect sense. The centre bit was cut at a 5 degree tilt so it drops in exactly and fits perfectly. By altering the slope of the table you can alter how far the centre bit sits inside the surround. The thickness of the wood will play a part in...

Fed up with Christmas . . . . . . . go wash out your mouth (hammer) We love the spirit of Christmas and try to keep it in our hearts all year . . . . . . and no we don't have the Christmas decorations up :wink:

Well I recognise the wee fella in the middle. Looks in need of the green stuff.
