    I feel the same way about my items. Everyone tells me my prices are to low, I keep telling them this is my hobby not my JOB. I enjoy it and it is relaxing for me. If I sell something great if not oh well. Until I depend on it for my full income I'll keep my prices reasonable, as long as I make a little money to pay for supplies and wood I'm thrilled.

    When stack cutting how do you hold your stacks together? Brad nails, tape,hot glue. I use to use brad nails in the corners but it was always a pain to get the apart without breaking. Then I read on another forum about hot gluing. I tried this and to my surprise it really does work. So how do you do it?

    what do you like to cut as far as subject matter? wildlife, religiuos, people........ This may give the pattern designers ideas on the types of patterns to make.

    On my computer I have them broke down into several catagories - animal (several sub folders) birds, portraits, religiuor, patriotic, intarsia and several more. Now in my shop I have an expandable file folder with the patterns to cut in it by title and or subject. The "to cut" first are in a regular folder I borrowed from my daughter.

    The only one I watched, to me it didn't look like he had any tension on the blade. it was flopping al around

    I buy alot of my wood already to planed to the thickness. I buy most from a local shop that makes custom trim and such. they sell all types of hardwoods domestic and exotic. Sometimes I will run it through my planer, if I need thinner material.

    I used to do a couple but now its all I can do just to keep up with people coming to me with orders. I have very little stocked up now for a show. I'm not complaining I'm still selling things and I don't have a lot of stock setting around.

    The most idiotic thing I've done huh where do I start . Well I was in a hurry (imagine that) a while back finish up a couple things, I was brad nailing a couple pieces together, and just rested the edge of the wood on my bench. IT slipped off and I shot the brad nail through my thumb nail into my thumb, it was only a 5/8" brad. It didn't hurt going in but it did coming out . Now I make sure the pieces are on a firm surface. It wasn't the first time I've been shot though, but it was the first time because I was being careless.

    Hi Jim and welcome to the site
  20. Clayton717
    Thanks for the comment.Drawing and painting are other hoobies of mine. I' ll put it in the gallery Travis. I used pine for the frame and 1/4" birch for the top and bottom.

    This has very few parts cut on the scroll saw but I wanted to share it anyway. This is a custom made box to hold a friends paintball gun. There are a couple things inside the box(the tank holders) I used the scroll saw on. The picture is a drawing I done last summer and my friend had to have it on this box, so I enlarged my drawing and painted it on the lid. The box is about 43" x 16" x 5.5". The eagle painted on it is 22" x 15". I was going to put this on my gun box but now I'll have to come up with another one.

    I stay with the 8x10 as well. unless it has too many cuts then I go bigger. or if the customer requests it bigger.
  23. Clayton717
    congrats linda.
