    band saw blades rewelded

    Anyone know of a shop that makes or repairs bandsaw blades (other than Raleigh Saw)?? Raleigh Saw did the worst job on them the last time I had them in, so they're out. Any others out there?? Thanks in advance. Cheers,

    Calendars & Prize delivery

    I got mine yesterday. Along with the padded envelope with the calendars was a small envelope. Upon opening I was greeted with a check for $100 with the memo "2009 Calendar Award". I had no idea! The calendars look great. The award is a nice kicker. Thanks again, Steve!! Cheers,

    wood dyes and glue

    TransTint liquid metal acid dyes are soluble in either water or alcohol. I don't think it would matter which medium was used when glueup is an objective. Raised grain would actually help a glue bond.

    Do you really use 12" resaw?

    I have a 20 yr. old 14" BS that I've customized with 10" of phenolic riser block. This allows a 16" resaw capability, which I use fairly often. A carbide-tipped 1/2" blade helps in resawing, too.

    Happy Birthday jack briggs

    I want to thank all of you for your well wishes! I must say, the old adage that "it's just a number" usually applies. But after 3.5 hrs. yesterday on the pedestal buffer buffing a guitar, I feel older than 50 today! :confused_ Cheers,

    shaper cutters

    Raleigh Saw does sharpen router bits; seems only natural that they'd do shaper cutters as well.

    Anyone used a pantograph style carving duplicator?

    I use a Terrco Marlin 624 for roughing out guitar tops. It does have its idiosyncrasies, but saves me about 10 hours per instrument. Cheers,

    Pictures from harpsichord land

    Thanks, Ernie. BTW - you don't also do resoration work on pipe organs, do you? Reason I ask is I'd met a fellow about 10 yrs. ago that did just that and it seemed to me that he said he was located in Beaufort. Keep up the great work! Cheers,

    inlay question

    While I haven't inlaid into something like furniture, I do inlay shell into guitar fingerboards. It looks to me like you're doing just fine. Just take your time. If I were doing that inlay into solid wood I'd use my Dremel with router base and a downcut inlay end mill, say 1/8" diameter. This...
