Hello Everyone!

I am so glad to see a happy bunch of people!

I am new to the forum, but have dabbled in woodworking for a while.

I have built a CD rack, an Armoire? (it is unfinished) but functional, 2 end cabinets and a floating shelf unit and a few picture frames.

I have also helped my brother with his Cathedral Clock that had a bunch of Fretwork and Scrolling to be done and I am not too sure if he finished it yet or not, Wow, it has been about 16 years!

My start of a new project is the MLT-13 Wooden Gear Clock. I just ordered the wood today and I have started cutting the gears on some scrap ply. I forgot all about the pieces chattering jumping up and down with the blade, I guess I'll get used to it again.

I have already had a bunch of problems and most of it was not even with the wood!

I'll be sure to add a few pics and post some also.

Hi Frank, and welcome!
Make a post as to what problems you are having, what brand of saw you are using, etc. There are lots of people here who would be willing to help.
Hope to see more of you on the boards.
