I was just wondering if any of you have taught your children or grandchildren, the art of scroll sawing. If so what age were they? Do they still do it or did you give up declaring never again. Lol. Marg

I would also like to thank the pattern makers, without you we would have nothing to work on or become better scrollers. So thank you very much. I would also like to say thanks to all the other members for making this one terrific site and a pleasure to be a member of. Keep up the good work everyone. Marg

My husband is a carpenter and a wood turner, so theres always been wood around but I alway did the girlie things you know like sewing and knitting. Then about 15 years ago we went to a Woodturning Show and competition and I realized women could turn too so I started going to classes. I was also doing folk art at the time and my instructor was asking my husband for different shapes like teddy bears, dolls, cats etc. and so he brought a scroll saw. He had had it a couple of days and I was in the garage and it caught my eye, I asked him how it worked and as they say the rest is history. Since then he has never been on it and I have never been off it. I did upgrade a few years ago and I got a DeWalt. But I finally found something that I really liked to do and that I was good at. I am hooked forever now. I hope to teach my Grandchildren in the future. Marg

Mines in the garage but I would dearly love a basement to put it in, we just don't have basements in Australia. Marg

It is New Years Eve here in Australia and I would like to wish all at SSV and your families a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year. Marg

I was lucky my husband bought me an orbital sander. When we went to get it the nice little man asked if he could help us, so I told him what I wanted and he offered me one to look at and said that it came 'In a lovely little case'. Realising that I was being patronized I held my breath and continued looking. We did get the one in the lovely little case and because I had already started using the sander my husband wrapped the case and put it under the tree. We all got a hugh laugh from that on Christmas morning. Marg

I have no problem either. Our A4 size paper is 8.5" x 11.7". Plus if I print 'fit to page' if I need to. Marg

Congratulation Dale. Don't work too hard. LOL Marg

Greasemonkeyredneck I am glad that you are ok. Yes we all have to be safety conscious especially if there are children about as well. We all tend to put off till tomorrow, don't we? Marg

Two or three years ago I came up with the idea of putting a sticker or tag on all the work that I do, to let people know who worked hard and made the pattern. The sticker looks something like this. Pattern of; Pattern by; Cut by; Date; E-mail address. We are tend to forget sometimes how much work goes into making a pattern, the cutting is usually the easy part. So this is my way of saying 'Thank You' to all the pattern makers out there, without you what would we have to cut? THANK YOU Marg

Boys and their toys. LOL So how many times have you dipped into your lathe fund now???? Have fun. Marg

I finally started my album, theres only 4 photos in there at the moment but I hope you like them. I will put some more in when I get chance. Marg

I really feel like a dumb blonde! My husband came home and pushed the plug on the side and away it went. Did I feel like an idiot?????? The plug had worked its way loose. So those of you with a DeWalt and it stops working, check the plug on the side first...LOL LOL By the way thanks guys for the suggestions they are very much appreciated. Marg
-
My DeWalt as just stopped working. Not sure what happened it just died. I checked the power point and thats fine. Hopefully my husband can fix it when he gets home from work. I feel so lost without it.. I see more of my scroll saw than I do my husband. Will let you know on the outcome. Marg

I would think about 3mil would be a good thinkness for earrings because you would not want then too thick. But I'm not sure what wood you would use. Marg

On the wall in front of me is a board with lots of small holes in (sorry forgotten what its called) and you clip in some small hooks. Then I leave the blades in the bags and hook them on the different hooks working in size order and type of blade order. Know exactly where to lay my hand in a jiff. Plus if I am using a particular blade and I know I an going to need more than one I leave them on the bench next to me and when I'm finished I just hang them back up. Marg
