You have been busy Dick. Another great one from you. Not everything has to be fancy. Well done. Marg

Don't worry Kevin everyone will soon know that you are around. Well done. Marg

Perfect. She will love it. Great work Dick. Marg

You did a terrific job Danny. I have quite a few of these patterns by Sheila and I have never cut any of them, thanks for reminding me I must find them out. Marg

Seems to me as though you have certainly mastered them you did a terrific job of the cutting. Well done Dick. Marg

Ralph you did an excellent job on the cutting. Well done. Marg

Did you count to 20 and walk away or did you explain everything that you did to give him what he wanted and the time that you had invested into this piece? I would have told him and waited for his embarrassment to get the better of him. Anyway great cuts Kevin. Marg

Hi Ray, welcome to the Village. I'm Marg from Australia. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. Marg

The piece of Silver that my daughter brought for me is 4 1/2 inches x 2 inches. I have some paper stuck to the underside with Sticky Roll paper that you can get from The Scroller Ltd. ( Sorry I Have forgotten the proper name of it ) I find what I would like to cut and attach in the same way on the top. Because I have enough silver to hold onto I don't need a jig. I use 2/0 jewelry blades to cut and turn the speed down low. When its cut I sand the piece with some very fine sanding pads that i got from www.alphaabrasives.com 3000 being the finest., when the sanding is complete I wipe the silver over with some rubbing alcohol, this takes away any sticky residue that may be left. My daughter's got a soft mallet made from plastic I think, and I hit the item I have cut a few times both sides and this hardens the silver without marking it. With the hand held Dremel I polish the silver with a wire brush and then rub some auto polish for mag wheels and aluminum on and buff it off with a buffer in the Dremel. At this stage it will go black but that's OK just keep buffing it will soon shine up. Then wipe over with a baby wipe and dry off. Finished. Hope this helps in some small way. Marg

My husband bought my first scroll saw but it wasn't for me it was for himself. :lol: I asked how it worked and he showed me and that was it I was hooked. That was a 16" Delta, I got 5 years solid use out of it, then I got myself a DeWalt and then about 3 or 4 years ago my husband got me a EX21 for my birthday. So spouses come in useful don't they :lol: :lol: . No they are generous. I bet your with loved her gift and could see how much your scrolling had improved. She also knows how to keep you from getting under her feet and out of the house. Marg

Gook looking projects Roly. Love the Roxy wood, smooth. Marg
