a friend of mine owns a fabric store and one of her customers drop their thread holder and broke parts of it. She called me I took a look at it and proceed to give it a try. I put it back together with thicker pieces . Hopefully if she drops it again it will not break as easy. thanks for looking

It snowed here in Oklahoma. My part only got about a 1/8 of an inch yesterday. I am glad i didn't have to go out in it. The streets are not bad this morning and it is not to get much above freezing today but by the end of the week we will be back in the 60's. Gotta love this Oklahoma weather. Have a great day and stay safe. Mimi

Yeah the sleeve is what I was talking about. I can't seem to.get the out.. Making me angry . I have want to be sawing. Thought it was going to be an easy fix.

I noticed that my blade clamp screw was wobbling so I ordered a new blade clamp. . I cant figure out how to remove the bearing so I can replace it with the new one. . It is probably something simple but I can t figure it out. .. Thanks for any advice. Mimi

Come on down .

I bought all this wood for 80$. I am set for a very long time. Well a coup!e of projects and get my money back plus more. The guy I bought it from had it for two years and never did anything out of it so just wanted it out of his garage. My son thought I was crazy. I think it is really cool and already got projects going.
-
Yep when I bought it all I could think of was really cool ornaments and then the guy was talking about how I could glue some and run then through the planer and I was like wow and got really excited. My best buy ever as a scroller. I love it.
-
Not sure the type of wood . Got it at a yard sale the guy had a bunch of boxes. He got them from an auction . He bought a pallet full. He doesn't want it anymore. I hope he has some left I want some more.. Especially at that price..
-
I have just figured out that I can take a few of my extra pieces and glue then together and get a bigger piece so. hopefully some of my scrape will start to disappear. or I am going to start donating it to a youth center and let some kids hammer and paint and have some fun with it.
-
I bought these two boxes fulled to the brim for 20.00$. they are 3/8 inch thick. I can glue some pieces together and make larger pieces to cut thing out of. I really don't think I did that bad. I can probably make my money back in no time.
-
the friend I made it for really liked it so. I might try another later. Just right now I like to just cut the patterns not design them. I will leave that for the professionals. Thanks for looking. Have a great and safe week Mimi
-
I finally got it done. I hope my friend likes it. I did the pattern. And had help with the outside boarder. . Thanks everyone for all the help not sure i will design another one. Will leave it to the professionals. Thanks for looking Mimi

Back in 2004 I went to an arts and craft show and saw some people making things on a scroll saw and thought it would be cool to do. I went and bought a harbor frieght saw and it vibrated so bad it scared me. I went to the new wood craft store and tried a Dewalt and fell in love with the saw and the hobby. This hobby has helped me in many ways. When I was going to school I would study for a while and then go and cut some things out and was able to write my papers and pass my classes. Now it is used as stress reliever and a side income. A lot of people i work with have ordered thing and I have upgraded to a Excalibur and I make Christmas ornaments for the babies in the infant room at the day care I work at. A lot has changed since I started scrolling and it has helped me in many ways and am glad I found this hobby.
