Thanks Wichman, I saw those too, but was wondering if anywhere you can combine multiple sizes to get gross quantity instead of have a full gross of just one size... if that confuses everyone LOL I may just give them a call directly as well and ask that question

Hello everyone... I used to get all my blades from Sloan's Woodshop, but since they are no longer in business, I am attempting to locate somewhere that sells them reasonably. There I could make up a gross amount from multiple sizes of blades to make it a little cheaper. Did some searching in the previous forums and didn't have any luck. I see some at Peachtree Woodworking Supply, but are they really $4 per dozen now?? I haven't purchased any for quite some time, was thinking around $3 per dozen before, but I'm sure they've went up. Thanks for any suggestions!

Very Nice! Thanks for sharing -
Think I prefer the second...

Finally just about finished...got the final coats of varnish applied to the base and clock, then put on the crystals for the clock positions and glued the metal pieces in place. Still have to varnish the bottom of the clock and base, but decided to put them together temporarily and take a pic of them outside in the sun so the flash of the camera would not glare things out. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4158 http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4157

Hello to a fellow Kansan Joe...grew up in north central part until I went into the service. Go back to see family almost each year. Have fun and welcome!

Slowly making progress...needless to say, don't see them getting done for Father's Day Here are some pics of the progress now....have both rough sanded and the mounting holes drilled for the bases. Now the fun, dusty part of getting them sanded smooth for varnishing. Going to put a few coats on so it has a good gloss to it. Pics really don't do justice to the way the walnut and maple will look with the finish on them...more to come.... http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4116 http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4115 http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4114

Well...one step closer on both clocks. Laid the copper and brass pieces on the wood and took a few pics to see how it looks. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4094 Deer http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4095 Turkey The deer pattern is reversed from what the pattern actually is. I cut out the normally discarded pieces instead. Kind of a different look. Thought the letter being cut from different metal to the rest sets it off a little. More work to do!!....don't know if I'll get them done before Father's Day, but should be close. Thanks for the previous comments too!

I agree...awesome!!

Tom, I know some don't like it and yes, it may be a little more expensive, but I use the self-adhesive paper from Sloans Woodshophttp://www.sloanswoodshop.com/misc_.htm to print my patterns on my printer. Then put it on the wood or metal and cut it out. On metal, I also cover the back of the piece with masking tape...seems to help lubricate the blade and make it last longer. For the most part, it comes off without much trouble, just don't leave it on for a week or more, then it gets stuck pretty good and leaves some residue. If you get residue, I've found that some masking tape applied after peeling the pattern off will pull the residue with it. That's my 2 cents...

Thanks for the comments from all...very much appreciated!

This is the first part of 2 clocks I am making for Father's Day. This is the centerpiece for the first one. It's a wild turkey pattern cut from approx 1/16" copper. Had a heck of a time photographing it with a flash, as the copper wanted to REALLY reflect it and wash the lines out. Yes, it got a little nerve-racking on the feathers...lots of vibrating up and down when you get to not much holding it all together. I am going to mount it on a piece of Claro Curly Walnut with a Westminster Chimes movement...and a few other modifications will post pics of it thru the process... Pics are here:

I use dead hard drives to make clocks out of. Not much scrolling on most, more engraving than anything, but sometimes I get a little creative like on this clock. It has 2 platters, so I engraved the numbers in the bottom platter and used the scrollsaw to cut cutouts. Also used the scrollsaw to cut the center design out of a piece of copper.

I cut 2 of these out of yellowheart for my Mother and Step-mother for Mother's Day. Just used an inexpensive certificate frame and had a mat cut for them. Finished them with Lemon Oil, then sprayed a clear coat on them. The glitter paper behind makes them VERY hard to photograph. They are packed to ship out tomorrow!! http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3974 There are more pics in my gallery also http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10543

Mr Trippy...sorry a little late, but check out the bench/enclosure/stand/whatever you want to call it in my gallery http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=79&pos=1 I have since added a aquarium pump with hose attached to the blower to "help" the weakened on on my saw and a homemade standup lamp that I can focus more on the cutting area....just another idea for ya!

Think I have beaten you Travis...My work area is out side in a small shed and unheated, so in the wintertime, it usually gets buried as you can tell... http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=1 http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=0

I get it from a semi-trailer manufaturer I used to work for...it's scrap pieces they make the aluminum sided trailers from. Think you can also find it on ebay sometimes
