Episode 118 Lancaster cut video

Oct 9th, 2015

A quick video of the Lancaster Bomber being cut out. I don’t want to think how long it took this video to actually get done – so many delays, so few windows of opportunity to work on it! I decided to cut my losses and just put together what I

Episode 110 Multiple Layer Inlay Stencils

Nov 30th, 2014

This episode uses one of the MLIS (Multiple Layer Inlay Stencils) from Tarter Woodworking. Good product, great results, and a very realistic price to boot. What’s not to love? The template used here is the Yin Yang. I did try the Clownfish, b
