Thanks, guys.

Best, Ted

Tim, what's your source for the tacky mat? Is it the JDS MAT1?

Best, Ted

No, never heard of that one, Mike. Cool.

I should have added that next time I'll add one step to the process: raster the shading first, then apply app tape and vector the outlines. I started to...

Thanks, Mike. It's a ribboned Mahogany, similar to Lacewood. This piece will be cut into 4 drawer fronts for a workshop cabinet, and the drawer fronts throughout the rest of the shop are Mahogany....

The oil seemed to obscure some of the shading on the darker leaves (Sycamore). But I think the general laser shading idea described above is going to work.​Best, Ted222151

OK, I think I got it. And of course it was my own fault. : )

My open palettes included ten shades of gray: 0% (white), 10%, 20%...100% (black). So I was telling CDR to use only those shades. By...

Yes, Mike, but the sand method shrinks the piece, and it must be swelled with water. The laser method doesn't seem to do that. Additionally, you can shade interior areas. That's why I'd like to get...

I've been experimenting with shading marquetry pieces using an Epilog EXT rather than traditional dipping in hot sand. The shading is created in CorelDRAW on a marquetry piece, with no fill and...

I just KNEW you were going to take the plunge. Now don't go telling Chris this was all my fault. :)

Congratulations, Bob. When do you get to take delivery?

Best, Ted

Please add my Christmas and holiday greetings to everyone.

I'm the fellow who bought Lisa Burger's EXT, and she was a very gracious seller. I hope things go well for her.

Have spent a fair...

Looks like I'll need to get Corel in any event. Thank you, everyone.

Best, Ted

Thank you for showing your work, David. I have been doing scroll saw marquetry for about a year and have just learned a bit about the use of lasers instread. So I don't yet own one.

A friend who...

Golf gloves work for many purposes. They're what I use for turning, and they fit tight. Shorter-fingered versions are called "Cadet."

Golf supply stores carry real cheap brands. As they're going...

Have a great trip, Dave. Wish I could be there, too.

Best, Ted

Try applying some coarse-medium sandpaper to the face of the 45d fence. That helped greatly after I was experiencing the same as all of you.

Also take a VERY thin shaving, and get up the speed so...

Thanks, everyone, for the help. I think I'll just use Excel for the calculations and manually insert them into the models.

Best, Ted

I'm just starting to take a look at SketchUp, so I still don't know much about it other than what's in the tutorials. Can SketchUp perform basic or circular arithmetic calculations?

Two examples....

I've since received as Anniversary gifts some books on English furniture. While there are some pieces that indeed awe me, I still love the Newport styles. Also some Philadelphia work (carving), as...

My favorite furniture styling is the work of the Townsends and Goddards, Newport, RI. A couple weeks ago at a Marc Adams class, our well-known instructor opined that even the Newport pieces can't...

Just ordered a unit. Mrs. Burke was making them up as we spoke.

I see the web site is working again. Thanks again.

Best, Ted

I am interested in a John Burke Sharpening System for carving tools but have been unable to connect to his web site,

Does anyone know whether it's...

I vowed not to be one of the 70%. But so far I am. :rolleyes:

Best, Ted

I took that class last year, Pete, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The most important information for me was learning how to fit a chair properly to an individual; as well as learning how to balance the...
