Alex Borg will bring their saws for the demo. Others can bring their brag items and be ready to talk with the customers.
Ask the experts
David Borg asked about the differences in blades and where to purchase them.
We had a long discussion about the blades we prefer and where to get them.
Thank you David.
Sheryl Pfeifer discussed how she adds Epoxy to her projects after cutting. She does not stain her wood and explained it is better to get the color of wood you want before pouring epoxy. If you stain after it could change the color of the Epoxy.

Bobby ---halloween designs pumpkin pattern-- drill a hole in bottom and put in light which adds to the effect. He uses fence wood ( western cedar) from Home depot
