  6. welcome to the village.everything i learned about scrolling was from here.I've never in my 62 years have had so many faithful friends as i have had and still do have hee in the village.were all family helping each others family.Make sure you check out the forum everyday as there's plenty going on and tips and tricks galore here so jump on in and make some valuable friends,Welcome again glad to have you!

  9. Yes these all are remarkable pieces and most of them i would already have customers for or as gifts that last with history.Mike's workshop who advertizes scroll saw blades on top of ssv's home page sells these blades for the scroller .they would be the jewelers blades.When trying them i first time run your machine very slow just off of the lowest speed till you get you'st to cutting and practicing control..Turns is where the blade will break everytime if you don't go dead slow as thats where the most heat build up is on the turns and heat is the enemy and killer of scroll saw blades.if you want a fret saw like the guy used "lee valley tools " sell them and very low price too..The things you learn on SSV everyday will fill a book .Never ever miss a day in the forum if you love to scroll.Steve goods "scrollsawworkshop.com" somewhere in his site shows how to make a coin holding jig to cut them .i just glue the coin to a piece of wood and have at it..This way you don't need the zero clearance hole under the project. A zero clearance hole is needed ,for tiny thin cutting projects to keep what your cutting from bending or breaking of prematurely because there's no support under them .This area im taking about is where your scroll saw blade goes thru the cutting table of your saw.sometimes just a playing card taped or glued over the hole will do,sometimes a thin sheet of metal is needed.After you cover the hole poke a hole in it to let you insert your blade and cut away as usual.
  10. Yes the scrollers joy , a pattern that brings cutters joy to you while working on it .There are not to many i remember doing that cause that sensation but a few.I just like watching it all come together.Grandpa has the unusual knack of coming up with just what i've been looking for or needed at the time.it always amazed me as if we were on the same wave length oceans apart.And the compliments i got from the finished work just about made the tears come. this cutie pie will do the same ,Good work Bendita everyone will adore it!
  11. Ah yes ,the big trucks!I've seen this one many times in gayles pattern library and loved it.i'm partial to white freight liners flat nose as thats the first big truck i ever sat in.this kenwork could bring years of enjoyment and even get sales i a truck stop cafe,not to mention a free meal while you wait!Oh my every multiplying pattern stack.Great scrolling skills and looks like the cutting edge in quality cut project .well done!
  12. Looks like me brain took a vacation again,funny howit works like that.my mind is always racing as you can tell from my signature .i dot the i's two letters past the i,lol Shultz in hogans hero's you'st to say that LARRY i see nothing! ,lol got a days work waiting for me today.Gumball machines go way back .%0's is as far as i can remember seeing them.these are a real treat to see and very very nice workmanship in bringing them alive in 2014.Great to have in the house to have brain recall to bring you back in time as a youngster.Nothing plastic made in those days!
