I've been gone the last few days, but I finally made it to Portland and trying to settle in. The next week is gunna be hectic (we're moving all my works computers, networks, other equipment and hoping that things turn on again). I'll be in and out all week but still doing basic maintenance. Seems like things are going well. I know Clayton has been keeping a good eye on things with managing new member posts and whatnot. Thanks Clayton! We really appreciate it. Anyway, back to the grindstone.

The correlation between warm weather and long honey-do lists is suspiciously similar. Don't work yourself too hard. Hopefully you can squeeze in a small project between big projects.

That is a great looking pen. You got a nice gloss finish on it, really makes it shine. Great photography, too.
-
That is super cool. How did you finish the ash end of the 'cigar'? Is it natural color? Did you do any additional carving?
-
Boy, that turned out nice. I really like the wood choices. Nicely done!

Sorry, I've been a bit MIA lately. This is my last week in Montana, so I'm packing as fast as I can. I leave for OR next Monday morning. Things are a bit crazy over here. I do pop in daily to check on thing, but it's mostly maintenance (managing spam, new accounts, etc.) I haven't been too involved in the forums/discussions/chats lately. Once I get settled in OR, things will bounce back to normal. At any rate, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm still around, if even if it's just behind the curtain.

Great display. You have a lot of great work. I agree with Scrappy Scroller on having cheap/small items. I think those would do well alongside your flashy items. RangerJay has a lot of great advice too. Especially the price tags. I'd make the customer pick up the item to look for the price instead of making it immediately visible The more they interact with your product, the better chance you have to sell them. Plus, when you see someone holding an item, it immediately opens them up for some conversation "That is made from Zebrawood." or "that portrait has over 200 interior cuts." etc. Get them talking (no hard sells), and they're more likely to purchase. If nothing else, they'll appreciate the art rather than scoff at the price tag.

Mother's Day is coming up. Anybody working on a project for that special lady in your life?

Here's a fun little poll. How many projects do you typically have going at one time? Cast your vote, then leave a reply to what projects you have going currently.

This could be the coolest Parquet floor I've seen! You can find a couple more pics here.

Scroll Saw Chat tonight! We're showing our house (for sale) to someone this evening, so I won't be able to make it. Hopefully a few people will pop in and talk shop, though. If nobody's in there, pop in anyway. When they see that someone is hanging out in there, others will join in. Have fun!
-
Holy Cow! Really!? Do you know how many emails I sent them trying to get off their list? I'm glad that you were able to get results. Thank you so much. I'm sure there are a lot of folks here who also run Avast and really appreciate it! You rock!

For those of you wishing you had a lathe, now you don't have an excuse!

Have a safe trip.

One of my favorite things to ask people is how they got started in a particular hobby. Their stories are really interesting and you can learn a lot about them. So h'bout it? How did you get started in scrolling? We're not looking for a short 1 sentence reply. Really tell us your story. How did you discover scrolling? Why did you decide you wanted to give this a try? What was your first project? How did it go?

I think the most glaring mistake is that he accidentally painted his workshop purple.

This moving thing is going to be the death of me. Uggg.

I was wondering when you were going to do this ,don't forget to back up back up back up.how many patterns did we lose last time things were moved around back around 2006,8 or 9
-
SSV wasn't founded until January 1, 2009. Our move to the new software was last October. We didn't lose any patterns during that move. Their either in the Old Pattern Library or have been moved to the new Gallery.

I've only used CA glue on woodturnings or fixing plastic Chinese toys. I never used it for joining boards. I have a feeling that you might be correct, the glue is brittle. I've seen some folks use a combination of CA glue and wood glue. They glue up the joint like normal, but use CA glue to tack it in place while the woodglue cures. Spread wood glue, then a dab of CA glue on one side, accelerator spray on the other piece, then press together? You'd have to do it right the first time, because once that accelerator and CA glue meet, it's a done deal. Might be worth experimenting with.

Here's a fun game for you woodturners. Can you spot the errors in this photo?
-
That's the way I'd do it too.

Sorry, but I had to remove the pattern. Harley (along with any sports team, Disney, or any other copyrighted materials) are very protective of their logos. While it's fine to make an item for yourself, SSV cannot distribute patterns for these groups. You can link to the pattern you modeled your design off of, though. You did an amazing job on it, BTW.

And who said scrolling wasn't fashionable? This wooden "lace" gown by On Aura Tout Vu is on display at the Lace and Fashion Museum in Calais, France.
