Kinda like a software update, but not really. My hosting provider sent me an email basically saying that they're restructuring their plans and SSV is using a lot of space and will be moving us to another price tier. The move would basically double my operating expenses. I think because SSV is a picture-heavy website, we have a lot of files, and many of them are large. So we're going over our limit. At any rate, I have to move a few things around. I think much of the uploads (gallery and forum attachments) will be moved off and onto a different server. For those interested, they'll be moving to Amazon's S3 service. S3 is very fast, which might even improve the responsiveness of SSV. It will be cheaper than what my hosting provider will charge, but it's just another bill I have to add to the pile, which is a bummer. I think everything will move over smoothly based on a few tests I ran. But there may be a transition time, potentially broken images that shouldn't last too long. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Let me know if something goes sideways.

I'm mostly talking about small breaks. Get out of the chair to drill a few holes, attach a pattern, sweep the floor, check my email, or whatever. I guess I probably go a bit longer at the saw actively cutting...20-30 minutes max. I never really timed it. My setup is nice and comfortable. I guess I'm not as focused as y'all are. Maybe it's because I sit behind a computer all day for work. When I'm in the shop, I like to get up and putter around and while away the day. I'm not under any time constraints or deadlines. I was just curious about what others do. The article I'm writing is sharing a few tips for newbie scrollers. I'm suggesting breaking up the active cutting with other tasks so they are refocused when they get back to the saw. the time certainly differs between individuals. For me, it's 15-20 min. I guess for the more experienced powerhouses it's more like 2+ hours. Anyway, I cut the way I cut because that's the way I like to cut.

You don't get up from your chair, that's solid cutting? As in the machine is constantly running?

I'm working on an article and one of the sections is about getting away from the saw to reset. I'm curious, how long will you sit at the scroll saw (actively cutting) at a time before you get up and away from the saw for a bit. I'm not talking calling it a day or anything, but actual active cutting. Personally, I might cut for 10-15 minutes before I get up and do something else, just to give myself a rest. Usually sanding, prepping the materials, or drilling holes, etc. It might be 5 minutes of other stuff before sitting back down. How long is your rest between active cutting sessions?

March is a big month! Daylight Savings is March 10. Saint Patrick's Day is March 17th. March Madness also starts on March 17th. The first day of spring is March 19th. And lastly, Easter is March 31st! Whew! So instead of picking one to celebrate, we'll open it up to whatever March means to you. Is it green beer? Digging in the garden? Basketball and nachos? Or are they brightly dyed eggs? Post your March scroll saw projects here. It'll be fun to see what you come up with to celebrate March.

I finally got the demo video posted. I updated the main post to include it. I tried to keep this a lot more concise compared to my previous demos. Now, I gotta get working on Easter. I'm hoping to get that done and posted this week.

Note: This kit works exactly the same way as our previous Ornament Kits. I'll be making a demonstration video later today to show how it works, though. This kit does require some working knowledge of Inkscape, just as with the other kits. You don't need to be a pro, but you should have the basics down.

Anybody can change the information. I do this so that it is a community resource and we can keep the information current. I looked at the site and seems OK, but it is indeed "Mostly Paid" since it is etsy. They have a blog too, but I didn't see much for free plans. But I didn't dive too deeply.
