I agree scrappile. Both cases they would have saved money with a percent.

Same for me. I was a charter member years ago during the msn days. Could someone share the contact info with me please. -
I use poplar all the time and do not have that problem. I use a piece of scrap wood behind to help,alleviate tear out and drill slowly.

Teller one is hilarious. Airport one is just plain--stoopid (spelling is for effect)

Anyone have a clue what happened to Dale? His site has been down for several days. Dalespuzzles....

Great job.

Last I heard he got into a bit of trouble and has closed down for a while...

So when do you want to meet me in Chicago? LOL Just kidding could not resist.

I like the new look so far. Can't wait to see the end product when you get your pictures uploaded.

Thanks to all the great designers, for their generous nature. You are all appreciated.

Your blade is going to want to drift. You need to compensate for this by feeding your wood at an angle. Go slow and watch ahead of your blade slightly and cut toward a point in front of the blade rather than following the line. Once you try what I'm trying to describe you will understand. Mainly it is practice, and prayer that the blade won't catch the grain of the wood and go sideways. If it does then it is finesse' sanding...LOL

Gifts and sales. Made a few contributions too. Like project Rudolph and local charities.

Nicely done.

question about small thin cuts
wood-n-things replied to cjswoodcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I noticed you said you place packing tape on the wood and then apply the pattern. I suggest applying the pattern to the wood and packing tape over the pattern. When you are done cutting a spray or paint on some mineral spirits and while you are cleaning up it will release the pattern. Usually about 5 minutes will do the trick. I hear others say they prefer to put down the blue or purple painters tape on the wood and then apply the pattern and then the clear packing tape. Why waste the blue (expensive) painters tape? I've been using ms for years to release the glue and have never had a problem. -
What is the pattern?
-
With the extra lines you could have many more pieces as well. Nice job. How about some more shapes..? Thanks for sharing.
-
Great area to escape too then. Kudos.
-
Never quite thought of it like that but you are absolutely correct. Good one.

Now that is funny. No open flames in a wood burning stove...Okee dokee. I used all the avenues available including the local fire marshal to make my final decision. I do have dust control in air filtration and 2 fire extinguishes one on each end of the shop...Just in case.

Congrats. New adventure and a shop at the end of the trip...Does not get much better than that. Now if you can keep hubby out of your shop all will be great!

Recycled Materials to Scroll Saw Art
wood-n-things replied to Travis's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I use all types of greeting cards. Christmas, graduation, Birthday, condolences, get well etc, for puzzles. They are a hot item at shows. I re-cycle pallets. -
Nicely done. I can see you are becoming addicted. There is no known cure for scroller itis....LOL

Thanks for everyones advice. I finally found a heater and it is installed and keeping my garage toasty warm. I hired an electrician to place a dedicated 30 amp breaker and wire and install my 240 volt electric heater. Safe in a woodshop said the manufacturer, especially since I use air filtration. Thanks again.

Got it thanks...Hope you got that sump pump working overtime and that you did not lose anything valuable.
