Hi guys. I haven't been here for a while. I may have missed something. Do any of you know if Travis answered my post of last August? I said that I could find no access to the Old Gallery where I have lots of projects pictured. Is it gone for good? Or can we still find it? If so, how?

I used to be able to access it by clicking on "more" at top of main page. Now all it gives me is "calendar".

Hi folks. I haven't been here for a while,so I may have missed something. What happened to the Old Gallery? I have a lot of stuff on there, but can't seem to access it. I know that Travis said a long time ago that the pics would eventually be transferred to the New Gallery. Is this what is happening and the reason it can't be accessed?

Just for fun.

A variation of this , with a hygrometer instead of a clock, can be seen in the new pics on the home section.

I had problems with the upload. Check Blue jay Retry above.

I deleted my upload on BlueJay. Camera problem. Will try again later.

This was made for a friend. It is 24" in length.

Found it, if you want to make my coin cutting jig. Go to "General Scroll Sawing" on the forum. Type in: "Coin Cutting" in the search box.(Asterisks not necessary). Scroll down to "Coin Cutting" and click or double click. My directions are in the 14th reply(probably on p.2)

You didn't say what blades you used. I've read numerous articles saying that you can use regular skip tooth or crown tooth blades, but don't even try. Make sure you use metal cutting blades. They're inexpensive, cut much better, and you can use smaller blades like 2/0 and 3/0. The cutting is much neater and you won't break as many of them. I posted somewhere on this forum how to make a coin cutting jig that works really well. It's essential to have an efficient jig to hold the coins.

Nice job, Todd. Gets me in the mood to do one again.

3 birds on a limb in wonder at the blossom.

Thanks guys, for your replies. They are all good. Travis says he tried it once and it did not work out very well. It took me almost an hour to write that post, as I wanted to be very careful in what I was suggesting. Everybody here is very nice and we want to keep it that way. I think you are right in that there are other ways on this site where we can ask for help or critiques on a project.

Perhaps the word I should use is "critique" "Critiquing" each other's work, not "criticizing."

I have uploaded many things to "Bragging Rights" and have been gratified with the responses received from the many good folks on this site. All responses have been " great job", "wonderful cutting", "great work" , "thanks for sharing,' etc. What I would love to see is a forum section where we can get really constructive ideas or "criticism" on what we have done. I don't mean to suggest that we are knocking somebody's work, but asking our members to suggest ways that could make our specific uploaded work better (at least in their own eyes). It does not suggest that we are demeaning anybody's work, but to suggest methods whereby something could be cut a bit differently or painted or finished in a different or more efficient way. Some of us are undoubtedly better at doing certain aspects of scrolling than I am. I would be grateful if we could share our individual expertise. Our folks in the community are generous and sharing. I'm sure I can learn from their experiences with scrolling methods. The word "criticism" has a bad rep. I appreciate everything I have seen from all our members. What I would appreciate is a section where I can upload something I have done under a heading "Anybody out there who can suggest ways I could have made this better? ". Well meaning ideas or suggestions would or should not offend any of us who are serious about our scrolling. Something like " The deer you made is great but I think it would look better if its eyes were not so far apart", or "Putting clouds in your blue background would make it stunning." I would love to hear things like this, and would be grateful, not offended. Or does this idea cause more trouble than it's worth? Even Rembrandt had his critics.

A ship in trouble.

I have been using it for about 6=7 years. Can't do without it. Best software for scrolling I've ever had.
