    This technique is good for wood burning designs. Not used much for scrollsawing.

    That is it for you Melanie, no more coffee for you!!! We can not have these mistakes here. Someone take her coffee cup away.

    Have to ask where are you seeing word art8?? Not on his site and it is not in the Word Art catagory on his site. I thought maybe he added it today or something. It is not on his pattern site.

    Jason, if you use the proper blades for your project there should never be any sanding needed for the fret work. There may on occasion need to sand a bump down or something like that and people use needle files and some use emery boards if you can get in the area. Water stains do not work well with plywood or any fret worked wood as a matter of fact because it raises the grain. I too use only hardwoods and I am a huge Deft Danish Oil user. I have a container where I pour the oil in and just dip the project. I mainly use natural color. It is not clear but has an amber tint to it but for my projects it is perfect. Danish oil comes in colors but it does get pricey. I do not top coat because being I use hard woods I sand to 220 grit and when dipped the feel is a nice smooth luster and feel. No sanding after is needed. People do paint and some top coat with lacquer or poly. I will let them speak to that.

    His patterns are free.

    Interesting concept. It needs to be pointed out that it works only with laser printers and also the odor from lacquer thinner is potent so be aware of that. Many ways to get things done for sure.

    Your lungs will thank you.

    It is not on his site. Maybe it was in his blog at one time. Being that photo is a straight on shot it would be very easy to copy for a pattern.

    Thanks and Yes and I ordered a few patterns from them also. The problem is when I go those sites I end up spending more money because I always find something else that catches the eye. I like to take patterns and rework and add or subtract things. I will be busy throughout the year for sure. I have the feeling back starting last year and after the health problems. As they say" I AM BACK BABY"
  10. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    yes I did and emailed him to get a price. That is one elaborate train. Maybe someday. Thanks.
  11. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I knew it had to be something else. Beautiful and thank for the link. You will probably see this flag again Going to order a few That is reasonable price.

    Edward I like the idea of the felt. Gives it that extra touch. You do not see this often. I am sure that is being well received. Thanks for showing. Also sorry for jumping in on the topic of felt and flocking. It is your post and deserves the accolades it should get. Sometimes things take a turn. sorry again!!
  13. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Yes I did. I entered them in a contest over at IAP penturning site. Took first place with the pool table and second with the Piano the last 2 years. Working on a more stable entry this year. Not so over the top. I like creating things.
  14. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    There some work in that piece. Nice work and thanks for showing.
  15. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Good to hear these shows are all doing well. We scrollers need a break in sales.
  16. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Smart move. You will make sweet music with your new saw. I am sure you are going to love it. A little learning curve from the Dewalt but in no time you will singing along to the sweet music of the saw blade.

    No pins except in the two pieces for the feet. I have seen these done with nails and to me looks cheap. The key is with each row they interlock to make it even stronger. believe me I have dropped these a few times and the worse damage was snapped the feet off but that is an easy fix. I use to make half a basket and put a flat back on it and it was able to hang on the wall. They did not sell as well as these. I also use to make a ton of those collapsible baskets that were trivets and they did well for awhile but i still have some that are about 20 years old. Stopped doing them too. The last of those style was this candy bowl basket that the basket part collapsed and the side pieces slipped apart. They too did well for some time but things go in circles. These baskets I have been making for a long time and they have stood the test of time for sure. Sold 2 at the last show. Sold one to a guy and he picked it up as soon as he saw it and no hesitation paid cash. I like buyers like that. Probably the quickest sale I made that day.

    Hello Kieth, do you have a specific link to that flag and could you tell us how you did the photo?? Did you use special paper?? Something is making that flag stand out more as 3D than a normal photo and I like it alot. Thanks.
  19. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Flocking is sprayed on felt. It is used alot in small jewlery boxes and things of that nature. Easy to use and comes in many colors I used it when I made these pen display boxes. On the pool table is flocking and inside where the pen rests is felt. On the piano inside the box is flocking.

    No not a scrollsaw touches these. They are all individual pieces cut on my table saw and then assembled and glued. There is 85 pieces in the small ones and 123 in the larger ones. I have had very good success with these and will always keep them in my line. I made the green and yellow one last year and sold 2 so I may expand the color line. All others are made from natural colored species of woods. The combination of mahogany and maple have probably been my biggest seller. Thanks for the kind words.
  21. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Thanks Rob. I think I am going to go with steps and they will have slots in the som I can just slide the boards in. These are going to be about 3 feet long so I get 2 sets on the table. I have made these before for my baskets that I sell but have always had to screw them together. Looking to make it easier and quicker. I will then add a shorter piece of either peg board or thin plywood behind it so I still will be able to hang some smaller items. I am trying to sell off my shelves and mirrors now so I do not have to deal with them any more. I am revamping the product line quite abit.
  22. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    That came out very nice. did you use felt behind the pattern or was that flocked?? Nice touch.
  23. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I would be very interested in that flag photo if you could share a link. May want to use on other projects such as military plaques. I have been looking for a realistic photo. Did you use decal paper or any special paper to make it stand out like it does. It looks real. Thanks
  24. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Thanks Dan Yes and that is why I asked the question. They would look good on the front door.
  25. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Dan they all stand out well. Nicely done. Are these meant for outdoor use?? Thanks for showing.
