I use the white Gorilla glue and can't fault it, the holding power is phenomenal.

Looking good.

I love my Excalibur, it's rock solid, can't fault it for quality.

That is utterly amazing.

Best of luck Geoff, take care.

Outstanding intarsia and also write up. Thank you Phill. How many hours would you estimate it took to make (not counting the tutorial)?

All the best Brian, thinking of you.

Good work Naz, I think we've a theme going... :D

I taped mine to 6.4mm ply and it worked perfectly, very happy with the results.

We all find fault in our own work because we know where we've drifted but I've learned that most of the time other people can't see what you're talking about - so don't talk about it :D You've done good work there, be proud of it. I've not broken a blade for months, it's down to your machine...

My biggest regret, they last toured when I was 18, I had no-one to go with so thought I'd wait for the next tour :(

I added three figurals, of sorts, to a four-layered jigsaw I made for my sister... an obvious heart between them, Shrek ears on her other-half, and my teenage hero Freddie Mercury stood on the bay. I think they add nice touches for people to find, I didn't tell her they were there.

Don't get the drill press for the Dremel; I got one and it's utter s, h one, t. It does not drill vertically without applying pressure (e.g with a rubber band) to one side. Save yourself teh £25 and get a cheap "real" bench drill for £60. I got one from JTF and it's perfect.

Some fabulous work there and really novel designs. Well done.

I have the Scheppach HA1000 and it is incredibly noisy. I also use a cyclone and can vouch for the effectiveness of it, catching 99% of all dust/chippings before it gets to the Scheppach filter. The Scheppach works well with the scroll saw but it is nigh on useless with my table saw, router and...

Well it's the blade. I've changed again and this 3rd one (on this job) is like a knife through butter in comparison. Checked the teeth, definitely the same blade. Wonder if the first 2 were a bad batch?

Yep blade(s) correct and the exact same piece of wood. Ambient temperature very similar. Just again had a burn on the mildest turn ever. Utterly baffled.

On Tuesday I made, amongst other things, a horse shoe & horse, and a Lion King ornament, both from 20mm oak using Olson PGT reverse #5 blades, detailed in places, using my usual masking tape setup and had no burns, even on tight turns. Today I'm using the same wood, the same setup, the same...

Nice work Cordy

Last January I got one of the last ones of those when they were still called the Excalibur EX16 and assuming they're made the same you'll not regret it, truly a fantastic machine.
