Popular Post RabidAlien Posted November 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Been busy cutting stuff destined to be Christmas gifts (four for my daughter's teachers, various friends and family, etc). Haven't posted much because I didn't want any of them stumbling across one of my posts, remote as that possibility might be, but this weekend I finished up two little projects that were less Christmasy. The first is a stand for my daughter's iPad, her protective case had a stand built in but that snapped off at some point. I used the scroll saw to round off the corners since I got rid of the old works-half-the-time-and-couldnt-cut-a-straight-line-to-save-its-life bandsaw. Second is in 1/2" scrap ply I had laying around, my boss wanted the sign for his office, seems that its fitting for our little IT department. **looks innocent** No idea where he gets that idea from.... Font is "stencil", I think. Nothing fancy, just official and governmenty-looking. Woodrush, Charlie E, frankorona and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Both are very nice. You did a super job on the sign. I had one of those band saws once RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Very neat! I have had 3 cheap bandsaws and ALL were exactly as temperamental as yours. Oldest son has a big Grizzly and it is great. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldest son has a big Grizzly and it is great. I had some reservations about giving it up, it was an old 7.5" wheel diameter Black and Decker portable saw that I inherited from my wife's grandfather ("keep it in your garage. If I need it, I know where to find it") along with an equally old Craftsman table saw, both of which had seen EXTENSIVE use while he was still renovating houses. I finally found tires for the band saw, and getting it back up and running is what got me back into woodworking, so I was hesitant to give it up. But I needed the room for some more tools the family got for me after my brother-in-law's father died (my sister's father-in-law...dunno what that makes us....outlaws? Not-quite-in-laws?), so I had to let it go. Sold it for $20 to someone else who knew someone who wanted to get started themselves, so I feel confident its going to a good home. I tend to use the scroll saw for pretty much everything the bandsaw did, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
