Chunkthekid Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks to a thread someone posted about a domino pattern, I found the perfect gift to make for my father-in-law. They're whole family plays dominos every time they get together, so I knew he would get some good use out of them. I used 1/2" yellowheart and stack cut two at a time. I had some #7 Olson Skip Tooth blades that were too big for anything else I have cut and I didn't know what I would ever use them for, well now I know. They made quick work of the 1" thick cuts with very little burning. Used the saw to cut the divider line in each domino and burned the dots. He was very happy with them but I didn't allow him to take them home yet. I had a very busy weekend and wanted to get them done so we could play a game last night ( I won!) but I still want to put a coat of poly gel on them to really make the yellow pop. I will post another picture when that part is complete. wombatie, Lucky2, JOE_M and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
