    I do not own an Ipad so not up on all the jargon but there are many answers on google on how and why the ideward photos happen and how to correct. Just needs reading and undestanding of that stuff. www.thoughtco.com/why-is-my-picture-turned-sideways-1701398

    What is the phone used. How did you take the photo. Try rotating the camera the opposite way. This is becoming more and more annoying the more people use their phones to take photos. Someone mentioned there is an app that you can download and will size and rotate photos.

    May I ask why you are choosing to use tht wood??? I have found that wood to splinter alot and be very chippy. Plus it is a dull looking wood to me. Just my opinion.

    Take it back to Lowes and do not take no for an answer. If one Lowes gives you a hard time try another. Talk to the managers. You can do better in the saw dept though.

    Elbows at a 90 degree angle. That is the most relaxing position and natural position to work from. Set chair to that height. Never liked raising the back of the saw because now you are fighting the workpiece from always sliding forward and when you let off on the wood to spin it can move too far forward. there are those that get used to it and like working like that. That is why Dewalt invented the tilting stand.

    I have that chess set pattern and have had it for many years but never got around to cutting. After seeing this I may just break those patterns out again and have a go at it. Nice price on it. I have a clock pattern or two that I think I will also bring back to life. I may just have to step up the scrolling once again.

    Well where have you been??? We have been waiting for you to join in the fun. Seriously it becomes a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. It can also be a rewarding hobby so be careful when you start showing people your work. Many Christmas gifts can now be shared too. Good luck as you grow into this.

    Here is a link more direct to your saw. But I am afraid the parts maybe discontinued. Give a look see. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ryobi-sc163vs-scroll-saw-parts-c-7931_8000_8001.html

    I like the wood combination. I love bloodwood as an accent wood. Walnut is always a rich looking wood. nice job. She will love it.

    Well I have been doing this for over 30 years so I believe it is something I truely love. But the last 3 years I had my share of health issues and in fact I thank the Lord everyday I am still here because it almost was my time. I also had family issues with taking care of my Mom. Being she passed 1 year ago now I would give it all up if I could still have her here with me. She and my Dad were my biggest fans of what I do. being I just returned to my shop in August I realized I still miss it. I do not meet any deadlines any more because I have none. I too have a bad back and in fact I am dealing with it this past 3 weeks now so no shop time. So to answer your question I still love it but not a serious player any more. I still get a kick out of creating things though and will always have that passion.

    Set of hinges. What plan do you need. Have a bench, a table, a wall, mount the tool on a pieces of 3/4" plywood and a couple hinges and it is swinging out of the way. Just remember it is now space used on its side.
  12. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Done all the time. Go for it.
  13. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Very interesting. Very well done. Leaves open many possibilities. Thanks for showing.

    Boy that looks like it came out real well. I am sure you are going to love it. I bet it was a fun and a rewarding project to do. It sure is a master pieces and a piece that will get talked about alot. Thanks for the detail build and good luck with the little details yet. Very nice work. True craftsmanship there.
  15. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Not to discourage you but i do not think you will get the look you are going for. The frets are too small to pick up on the furry look. Give it a try and just do not glue till you see what it looks like. good luck and keep us informed.
  16. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Not really a good idea, unless you sand flat where it is you will be gluing. The fibers can come off and thus the glue joint will be weak. What is it you are trying to do. Perhaps a photo and maybe someone will be able to make a suggestion.

    Dick, thanks again for the kind words. No genius here for sure. I have been dabbling in the woodworking field for quite some time. I thank my Dad for teaching me many things over the years as I grew up. Then doing a lot of reading and experimenting has gotten me this far. I respect my tools and do know their limitations as well as my limitations so we try to create things. I have the next year box in my mind. All I have to do is put it to work. have to wait till next year to see that one but I will tell you it will be worth the wait if I can pull it off. In the mean time I have a few other projects that I will be working on and share when done. No contests for them. I do need to make the pens for those projects too along with some other pens I have promised people last year yet. Now that I can get back in the shop I need to take care of these. I also need to work on a few new projects for next years shows so that will keep me busy through the summer. I am glad that you and many others here liked these projects. I had fun making them.

    As I always have said I love clocks and yours are no exception. Nice work. They do make good sellers.
  19. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I do all my copying at FedX

    This is my go to sander for just about any project I ever do. All my scrollwork 220 grit paper and I am done. www.amazon.com/PORTER-CABLE-330-Speed-Bloc-Sheet-Sander/dp/B0000222Y9/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1488856522&sr=1-1&keywords=porter+cable+330+sander
  21. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    That turned out real nice. Just have to remember to put the keys there.
  22. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Nice work. Everyone needs clocks. I love clocks of any kind. Keep with them. Thanks for showing.
  23. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    That is a cool idea. Would make a nice pen stand also. May have to borrow that one. Nice job on them. I bet they will be a nice seller for you.
  24. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    That saw had a poor rating on the blower to begin with. It did not blow much air. So what is probably happening is the bellow has gotten worn out and too soft so it is not pumping up and down with any force now. May need to replace bellow. Or go with other suggestions.
  25. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    OK Jim here is a few shots. First here is the billiard ball clocks in the finished state as I sell them. Then the bases I make for them. I use the 1-7/16" inserts Then a photo of the jig to hold them. I made one for use with the drill press and one for use on the lathe. Hope that explains or gives you an idea of how I do it.
