He brought the 3/4" maple in sealed plastic bags for me to use36" long x6" wide. i ripped them long ways in half the letters are basically 2" tall x 10.75" long Then for extra money he wants a sticky backing colored on them ,no stand so they don't take up much space on the shelvement=27the new sawthe wore out one lawson56, Bandito and bobscroll 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Your output is astonishing Kevin but don't burn yourself out. Make sure you take some time to recuperate once this one is done and try to relax and enjoy Christmas. Take care of yourself. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Johnson Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Fantastic work as usual Kevin. It's unfortunate your saws decided to take a break at a time you need them the most ... or are they trying to tell you something. 'MERRY Christmas ' and all the best for 2016.
