What do you recommend to be used as a backer for a project. I was thinking of staining a piece of baltic birch but would be interested in hearing other suggestions. My cutting is 10 inches wide and 12 inches long.

I haven't needed blades in a while and now that I do can I still get Flying Dutchman blades? I always got them from Mike but understand he has retired. Have never tried the Olsen blade and would appreciate comments on them.

Thanks

I just purchased a pattern which I received as a download. The problem is there is no darkening of the area to be cut which of course makes it more difficult to cut. My question is can it be shaded some way short of sitting down and coloring the areas in by hand? Thank you.

Ask Steve a question. / Snowman Christmas Decoration

On the snowman decoration which has the snowman standing on a stand I was wondering why the stand is 1/2 inch and the snowman 3/4 inch. Is there a reason of stability or something, or just that 1/2 inch was what was on hand for the base?

Have never replaced bellows but take a look at the website in the above posts, it might be helpful.

Anyone used replacement parts.com for parts? Need to replace some parts on my saw and came across this site and wondered if anyone has any experience with them. Need to replace the blade chuck and would appreciate any suggestions on getting the old one off. I have not been successful in turning the screws up to this point. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any suggestions on what wood types and overall size one would use on the Ohio State pattern. I know it is an individual choice but would be interested in others thoughts.

Thanks
