    Intarsia

    No pics...didn't happen. Please share.

    There are a lot of rooster wall clocks but none for scrolling. You could use one as a design and make a segmented version. A little dye or paint to make it pop.

    Chris, try it both ways. I have a P-20 on the stand, not bolted to the floor, and no vibration. Of course, the P-20 is probably one of the heaviest saws. I'd be interested to hear if some vibration reducing pads would make a difference for you. Report back if you decide to do the test for us. Oh, and I hope your cup has a lid on it. Sawdust tends to degrade the taste of your beverage.

    Hello all,

    Dan replied to Louie's topic in Introductions

    A big WELCOME from Ohio!

    All my searches on Google say YES. I think it will look sweet with the Danish oil. Of coarse, it would look even better if it were filled with cheese and blueberry danish.

    Great job! Sounds like a lot of folks are having great success this year. Let me know if you will be doing any more. I haven't seen you in many years.

    Hello from south of the border... Michigan border, that is. I'm down in SW Ohio.

    Welcome from S. E. Ohio.

    It's time to get more involved. COUNT ME IN!

    Lots of good stuff here. The Steve Good video demonstration only works for vector objects (pdf, svg, etc). If you want to convert an image (jpg, bmp, etc.) follow Paul's (Scrappile) instructions. There are other ways but those two will get you where you want to go. The only thing I'd add is to change the thickness of the lines to your preference. I like thin lines because I find it easier to stay truer to the pattern. This is just my preference, though. Good luck!

    Great choice of woo and nice cuttings!

    Paul, that is where it hangs when we are not using it. It was a bit of work, pattern came from and old (2005 maybe) Woodworking and Craft magazine. I did it the second year I started scrolling. To be honest, I'm surprised it has lasted this long.

    The only issue with burning (igniting) is with the rags. Unless you put the trivet in a fire, of course. You can put any hot pan on it and no need to worry about a fire. We do it all the time.

    REBORN

    Awesome.

    Those look cool. If you are into epoxy those would look cool with color.

    I made this walnut and Maple trivet about 16 years ago and it's holding up well. I just used blo/mineral spirits at 50/50.

    I've done some similar and used 5mm screw eyes. Instead of hanging, you could make the stem longer and place them with flowers in a flower pot. You could also sand the back flat and epoxy in a small permanent magnet to stick the the fridge or a metal door.

    I always glue the pattern to the wood first with Aleens tacky glue. Use a J roller to get rid of any bubbles. I let it sit overnight to make sure the glue is well cured. I then apply two coats of Krylon Triple Thick Glaze. Allow it to cure 24 hours. Then, I cut freehand. You can put a puzzle outline over your pattern like Steve Good does, but I find it unnecessary. Good luck!

    Your work is awesome, but your story is priceless!
  22. Dan
    I agree with Ray. Easier to learn to cut straight.
  23. Dan
    Search Steve Good's site catalog for "boos".

    I've done a lot of different types of scrolled work: fretwork, portraits, intarsia, segmentation, compound cuts, etc. I learn from each of these. I have bought books mainly for the patterns. Some have great tutorials, others...not so much. Ask questions and try many different types of work.

    I've bought from these guys before amazon.com/Midwest-Products-Birch-Plywood-24-Inch/dp/B000BQWZFQ. The price was good. I use 1/32" for bookmarks. I still have some and they are still flat as can be. Good stuff.
