I want to apologize to the designers here. When I posted this my mind sat was on PAID patterns. Although the one I was cutting from Karl Taylor was free. I totally respect and appreciate those that take the tie and efforts to help the other villagers and share their skills here. So with said I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes. I assure you it was not intentional. Please accept this apology.3 points -

Some time ago several posters asked if I could post a how to our tutorial of making bracelets. I will try to start that process as u wait in line for Costco gasoline.... The one I will show you is an end grain bracelet as it has the most steps. Gather your wood that you want as end grain components.2 points

Old English letters he wanted ,He's Jamaican. $20 bucks,beats a sharp stick in the eye!,lol2 points -

Yeah,, sure have been there.. my most recent one was posted here.. and I didn't even break it.. I mis-spelled it in the pattern design work.. then proceeded to cut it out and apply a finish on it.. I didn't even catch this mistake until I was packaging it up and getting ready to deliver it to the customer.... Also have been known to glue the backer on the front side of the project a few times, LOL2 points

For the hanger I mix up some epoxy and glue a saw tooth hanger to the back is it is too this to use a screw or short brads. You can also use a glue called E-6000 which sets up pretty quick and holds very well.2 points -

Well I just cut about 40 spots on a leopard pattern yesterday afternoon, and it's performing much better. So I guess it was worth the aggravation. Be holding off for awhile in my new saw quest because it's getting to be traveling time in Rudy the Roadtrek RV.2 points -
I didn't even break anything (yet) (today) and I think it's time for a beer. It is only 6:30 am here, but you can't drink all day if you don't get started early. Beer for breakfast.2 points

I think it would be safe that many of us have been there and done that. Not a happy place I know first hand. The worst one I had was 16 hours cutting, taking off the pattern it slipped out my hand ( like a fool I was walking around to stretch my legs ) and it hit a concrete floor. I still haven't forgot that and now remove patterns on my work bench.2 points -

When I started this some 35 years ago the best designer that I followed and used soooooo many of his patterns and still do today was Rick Longabough and his wife Karen from the Berry Basket fame. The next would be Dan and Ray Wilckens designs and again still use many of their patterns and always loved their style. Next would be Karen and Dirk Boelman of the Art Factory. We lost 2 of the greatest pattern makers in Dirk and Ray over the years. Last would be John Nelson. I always liked his work and had the pleasure of working with him on a few projects. I have many patterns in my possession from various artists and some have been mentioned already but the top ones are my list.2 points -

Depending on how thick it you could cut a key hole with a router. Otherwise I'd go with a saw tooth like spirithorse suggested. Chris2 points -
Drill Press's
tomsteve and one other reacted to JTTHECLOCKMAN for a topic
I hate HF for anything with a motor. That is just me so you all do what you want. I have 3 dremels and never burnt one up yet and in fact just bought another when they were on sale at Lowes for Christmas sales. You can go with the drill press feature or the plunge router feature with the dremel and yes all today are VS. My drill presses are 16" Delta floor model and I never change speeds with fostner bits for the small inserts up to the 2-3/4" and any drilling with bits. I change speeds when using larger fostner bits such as 4" No need to in my opinion. Look at the recommended speeds on them. I would have to look what it is set on but can tell you it is somewhere in the middle speed range. I also have a Delta 12" table top drill press and really like this one for small work and extremely accurate drilling. It has a zero clearance chuck on it as the 16" does not. That is a factor if using very tiny drill bits. Same thing when buying a hand drill. Not to go into details with the Craftsman that someone mentioned but you really need to check the quill on them and make sure the chuck is sitting in properly. The chuck itself could have runout in it so an easy fix. Having 2 drill presses comes in handy many times if you have a couple different operations going at the same time. Both drill presses have depth setting capabilities which is a must. Ease of table raising is also key along with the ability to tilt table at times. Love to own a radial drill press but no room for it.2 points -
Really dumb question #9 - Mounting
new2woodwrk and one other reacted to JTTHECLOCKMAN for a topic
There is no right or wrong way of doing things just many ways to do it. I would cut the rabbit ears off and let the inlay sit within the front piece and then cut a backer piece just about 1/8" to 1/4" larger that the front piece so that it shadows the piece and you can paint the center a different color or just stain it all a different color than the front piece. Next one I would make the front piece thicker than the inlay. You can make the front and back piece the same size and just router the edges to relieve the thickness look somewhat. You can rabbit around the opening on the back side and inlay the colored piece and just add a backer Layers do not mean anything. Also on something like that I would give the customer an option as to hang on the wall with a saw tooth hanger in the back or other type hanger and also use a photo easel. I do this with my claddagh clocks. They have the option to hang on wall or I make a stand for them to display and is included. You can buy the stands.2 points -
If it where mine, I would use 1/8" BB the same diameter as the back piece as a backer. Either stain or paint it to contrast the the forest scene.2 points

If you don't want to put a backer on it to show through the fret-work, you can just add a saw-tooth hanger on the frame. God Bless! Spirithorse2 points -
I vote for our own pattern makers. Those are all good but these are all in one place and very helpful to all. My hat's off to all you designers at scroll saw village!2 points

I bought a new drill press last year but does not fit your requirements. It is variable speed from 50 - 4000 rpm with a twist of a dial.2 points -

Also have the 16"Delta belt driven floor model and once I set up the speed to cut the cups for Euro door hinges so many years ago, haven't changed it since. Of course I've used it for my clock inserts when I use to do clocks, but now it principally holds my sanding mops for intarsia work. Takes up floor space and weighs a ton, but couldn't live without it. But like you Kevin, still searching for an area to have a smaller set up such as John has mentioned with all the attributes that he mentioned.1 point -

Hmm I guess I don't know who Marilyn Carmin is or Carl Taylor... Heard of Mike Fehring.. Charles Dearing does some awesome work.. however most of it is portrait style cutting.. which I don't do a lot of ( Yet.. I plan to do more of it this year ).. So.. since i don't know a whole lot of these designers.. I have to say.. I've purchased more patterns from Sue Mey than any of the others.. so I guess for now she would be my favorite.. Some favorites that I don't see any more is.. Dave Hall, loved his car themed portraits.. Kevin Daily used to make some nice's ones too.. but again.. these two mostly cranked out portraits.. One I used to really like was Sylvia ( The Sawdust Mistress ).. but she left the pattern / scrollsaw world when hubby retired and they bought a motor home to travel the world..that's been some years ago. LOL I use a few of arpops patterns from his blog.. not sure how many of these I mention actually did this to sell patterns or had their patterns in books.. Maybe we need to list a bunch of designers.. I thought I knew most of them. but I've never heard of a few of these you mentioned.. Now you got me thinking Oh yeah, Andy Dean did awesome car patterns too.. Something I'd like to see more of.. is wall type clocks.. I have about a 110 different desk clocks I offer.. with many more patterns that I haven't yet made.. yet I only have about 20 wall clocks.. so if any designers out there feel like making clock patterns... Have at it.. I'm on the lookout for them, LOL Like to have about 50-75 different designs to add to my site before next holiday season..1 point -

Thank you, I originally thought the bolt in mine was wrong because it has so much slop (ie the arm will come down so the blade will almost go past the top of the upper arm if all the way down).. then I looked in the manual and it came from Hawk with a bolt... must be before they figured out they could just use the threaded rod with a lock nut.. I think I will buy some of the threaded rod and make one..1 point
