Hello All, I just finished this yarn holder for my sister, You might recognize this yarn holder LOL. the Scrollsawer had this in their magazine last fall as a sheep yarn holder. any how my sister wanted a horse so I just so happen to have this horse which was a paper towel holder that I got from the windfield collection. well here it is.

welcome to the forum you will find lots good advise around here. Kardar2

That first one from wood Magazine does not look very stable to me. I like the other one thought thanks for your guys help.

l posted the same question over on the other forum and someone posted this. http://www.stevedgood.com/kennethstand.pdf

Hello, I read a great tip in wood magazines page 10 today and thought I would share the idea with you. It showed how to make a home made light box out of a plastic tote and you mount a light socket inside and mount clear acrylic on top and you can trace your patterns. But I am going to make mine out of plywood and be able to turn it on it's side and open the sides so I can use it for picture taking of my projects to sell. I just got done buying $64 worth of printer ink so it wont take any time to pay for it self. Kardar2

Hello All, I really need to free up some space in my garage.I have a big office desk for my scroll saw. I hear that the metal stand really cut down the vibration. Have any of you made you own out of 2x4's or 4x4 ? Thanks for any advise. Kardar2

Austin since you go to school for extra credit you look at the university and Travis has a lot of cool Videos on how to do stuff . have fun and please no spit balls in class please

Hello Ray welcome, Karl here From CA.

Hello All, Hey I thought I would stop by and let you know how I am doing. A few months back I post questions about using a air brush to apply paints and finishes. Man it is fantastic. I would really recommend it to you people that never tried it. So this is what I learned on my adventure . Not all airbrushes are created equal! I started out by buying a Harbor freight double action airbrush "junk" for the most part it worked but when I went to clean it it was a head ache.I had to take the whole needle out and when I did the trigger would fall apart a and man it was a nightmare. so the last time I put it back together it would not work. So I was in search of a new one. I have been following a airbrush forum and learning along the way. I went out shopping, I ended up buying a Paasche "H" single action airbrush and let me tell you WOW what a difference it is from the HF one. The reason I bought the single action type is cause for what I do ( one base color). If you were going to paint mural on a car then yes by all means you would want the best that there is out there. the tip can be adjusted to a very fine line so you could paint eyes on your project. I use my big compressor out in the garage for the air brush. The compressor it is loud but it works. I am cheap I did not want to spend the money for a little bitty airbrush compressor. you must have a out put regulator on your compressor. you will only run around 30-50 psi... And less them 30 psi if you use the little gravity feed cup. I have found out that I personally like using oil base paint. I can thin it better than acrylic paint. but that is just me. you might watch some you tube videos if you think you might want to explore this. Well I hope someone will find this post useful. If you go on a search you will find that there is really no information for airbrushing for woodworking.

Hello all, I thought you would get a kick out of this. The grandcritter came to spend the night last night and I was busy out in the garage working and my little shadow wanted to help. so here is a video of him on the scroll saw for the first time: http://s253.beta.photobucket.com/user/kardar2/media/20130106_130708.mp4.html

Hello. I am going through all the inscape classes again and this time I am on a mission. I just made a name using english type. I had my wife help me with the Capital "B" andhad to wing it with the pencil to join the lines together. So now I am watching all the videos and see if professor Travis cover the subject on how to do this. I tried using all the little nodes but man there are so manyand when I tried to use them I made things worse. Well wish me luck If I don't return send in a search party. Hopefully Travis won't go catch me using spit balls. LOL.

I made these for my son's girlfriend, I wanted to tell Travis thank you for helping me get a handle on how to make my first Pattern.

thanks

Can I get 5 " letters out of it ?

I use Q-tip and spit on them to clean out glue squeeze out in tight area or tooth picks

Hello All, So my son's girlfriend asked me to make a word art with a name. So we sat down to work out the details. She wants the letters like 5" tall. So I searched the post and amazingkevin mentioned resizing things with inkscape so I thought cool our buddy Travis shows us how to use it. well I cant to seem to get it no bigger than 144 pt. So I thought I would see how much rapid resizer cost and I saw a free trial..... Cool I thought! I can try it out first. So I down loaded it and it did it thing and all but then came the problem. I had a saved file of the name in Microsoft word starter. but when I went to get the file it said it could not be opened. huh. So can anyone that owns this program has this problem or is this a case of a limited program cause it is a free trial. thanks

Sorry about the type o on my OP . yeah I thought the saw was kinda funky also.

Hello I was under if anyone owns one ? do you like it? I just watched a youtube video on them they look nice. Thanks (SORRY I was in a hurry and did not proof read)

I really like their toys

Mountain biking , kayaking , camping , yard work and work I have to scedule the shop time for winter.

welcome to the forum.

Hello Well I was went to air brushing some parts and the air blew the piece around so I was holding them and I painted my fingers. (no holes in the pieces To hang them) so I was thinking of getting o piece of ply wood with clothes pins glued to it. Or use magnets with the clothes pins and use it as a big message board when not painting..... Your thoughts??????

If would maybe use oil base base enamel paint for durability or may be that krylon triple coat for a clear coat to let the wood grain come out.

Thanks I but are using distilled water so you are using water base paint ? My paint is Quart can. I could see where you keep adding water you would have very watered down paint by the time you get to the bottom of can. Do you ever have this problem?
