    Ken,
    Thanks, if you copy the Leather Craft images you need to have them at least 300 dots per inch (DPI), most images download to 72 DPI. I use Photoshop and for line drawings I use Illustrator and use the trace function and then convert to 300 DPI and save as a PNG file. This does make a large CW PTN, (15 to 20 inch) I resize the files to eight or 10 inches this makes the PTN file smaller and the MPC will then post on the forum. Note; make all the improvements to the PTN in the 300DPI before resizing. A 20 inch MPC makes a 1.5MB file, needs to be smaller to post to the forum. I have the Adobe CS2 Photoshop programs, I am thinking of updating to the Photoshop CS4 there are some 3d updates with the CS4. Need to sell some of my wood to do that, I have 2400 board foot cut now, 3 stacks 4x8 25 layers high, but it won't be dry for about another six months. It took nine saw blades to cut that. 3 blades broke the others need to be re-sharpened. Blades cost $238.00 for fifteen of them, $7.00 each to re-sharpen.

    Guess it's true -- ya gatta spend Money to make Money.

    Great to see the Wood will be put to good use, Love that pile of slab cuts,
    I would have them on my surface sander the minute they are dry enough.


    And Thanks Again

    I had broken blades when I first started. Then I was reading on Wood Web about blade tension and it mentioned most over tighten the the band saw mill blades. Since I backed way off on my blade tension I have not broken another blade.

    Favorite Saying.... "It's ALL About the Brass Roller"..... And "Use MASKING TAPE" for board skipping in the X or breaking bits.

    Thanks for the patterns and the advice. Just a thought I notice your stacked lumber and it may be a good idea to move some of the wood stickers closer to the ends "within 1" of the ends). This helps prevent cracking and movement during the drying process.
