jbrowning Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I got off work early today so I thought I would work in the shop this afternoon cutting the last 2 dog puzzles that were ordered at the Craft Shows. I spent 3 hours cutting out 1 AUSSIE dog puzzle. Broke 6 blades all up inside the upper blade clamp. But I forged on and finally got the 1 puzzle done. Tomorrow I will work on easier puzzles before I start my dog puzzles I have left to do. It was a long afternoon, but it was still better than going to work.

Dak0ta52 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I know the feeling, Jim. I took Wednesday and Thursday off because I had to take the time off or lose the hours. We were scheduled off today (Friday). My plan was to spend most of my time on the saw but things don't always go as planned. I did complete a couple projects and I've still got tomorrow to look forward to. jbrowning, OCtoolguy and don watson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 You guys are lucky. I've spent the last week recovering 7 chairs. Our 6 dining chairs and an arm chair that my Mother gave us. I sort of learned another calling. Not as much fun as scrolling though. jbrowning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Yeah I was hoping to get out there again today. But the inside temp was 15f. I think I will wait till tomorrow to go back out and work on more puzzles. Jim OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brrrrrr! jbrowning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Normally if I can get the shop temp up to 45-50f, I can work in the shop. But it's a little too cool for today. It's suppose to be in the 40-50's tomorrow. So I'll work tomorrow. Jim OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it just takes too long to get the inside temps up to a working temp for me sometimes. Jim OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year my wife got me a kerosine heater for the garage and it does make it tolerable . . . but adds to the cost of the addic, er, hobby - at $3.35 a gallon it adds up. Luckily my wife suggested using the heated mud room and that has been great. I use a box fan and filter set up right beside the scroll saw and it appears to be doing a good job of collecting the saw dust - I dusted around the room and didn't find any, so I'm good to go. jbrowning and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
