  1. This on came in today and i knocked it out .Real troubles started when i found out it was cedar but not the cedar i thought,This was the cheap pencil stuff stained to look like aromatic cedar,fool me.the roses shattered big time the more i cut them, but CA glue on the spot as it happened saved me The woods 3/4" thick cut with a scroll reverse #5,which i 'm about out of..It is in spanish saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONITA, I'd like $50.00 bucks for my time but we will see!,lol guess i need to clear coat it now to hide the CA glue thats glossy,??? I'll put on a stand tomorrow.I again lost my photos as i tryed to load them in the computer as i was useing the hot spot on the phone to run the web for my computer?? 11.5" long x4" tallBoy thanks DW, that amber shellac realy did the trick!
  2. i can't open either?
  3. Victorian fretwork?The ultimate conversation piece!

  5. Hi AL, funny you would say that .In the beginning of my scroll saw days i had a chair the saw and a refrigerator box standing straight up with box fans on top with 20"x20" filters .So basically i had a 3'x3' work shop in a box. Do you know i pumped out more work in that little spot in my efficiency than i have ever done in my scrolling days.what am i doing ,going on reverse now?
  6. thanks IKE, i've got fans to move tarps to reposition sheets of plywood to situate a scroll saw with a HEAVY planner on the bottom that's tough to move around with no real floor, high chairs for working on the bench's when i get the stump out of the way.You got me thinking now . This stump is the sorce of my headache It's in the middle of my shop outside.I just bought two new chain saws from the thrift shop and i have another one to.the stumps only a foot tall x 36" round. problem is getting down on all four is next to impossible and for long periods of time. I can't believe you pin pointed my main problem,thanks!
  7. Things really go down hill and suffer when you injured
  8. Your right Paul, It's just an accident waiting to happen and it will ,just when?I've fallen many times coming home with my arms full only to slide down on either side of me two sheets of plywood one on the left one one the right.
  9. I bite off more than i can chew many many times but i like a challange.God brought me to it and he'll get me thru it!I try to keep even the bad customers in times like this.I lost thousands of bad ones from the recession .
  10. Your right the secret is don't waste time cleaning up,lol Your right ,have the big box store cut the wood in half.
  11. Ok,Ok, i cleaned it up ,the floor it is ,now i have to mow my my friends lawn for a twenty cash , how could i refuse,so i took 2 pills and will head that way.
  12. LOL,LarrEA i like a challenge in scrolling not in the work shop!
  13. You got that right Carl I do as little as i can as movement cases unwanted pain.It's coming together though believe it or not,lol I try to change something for the better everyday.there's just way to much stuff to move .
  14. Boy ain't that the truth .lol
  15. I'm most appreciative of you showing how the blank looks,I need wheels to turn before i attempt one !Stunning workmanship!
  16. As with aiming a pistol your finger usually point exactly where the bullet will go .on scroll sawing, i put my finger over the the hole i want and instinct tells you where your finger is to thread the blade thru the hole, works for me.Also feeling the roughness of the bottom of a project with your finger tells you where the hole is.

  21. This is another order i got for larger ANKH'S,I thought i could do this project on the scroll saw.(i cut the pattern on the scroll saw and that was to much for me) being 3'5"tall an 2' wide on the Dewalt.There was everything imaginable obstructing me from doing the job smoothly.My chair keep falling off make shift plywood floors hap haphazardly thrown down.The saw was cockeyed to the floor from moving it around so much to try and cut this pieces. Rain play havoc with me too.Nothing has been picked up off the floor in a while.No room to get in or out to scroll.Usually i get in position with an arm full of wood and patterns and scroll none stop till finished. This project i had to deal with a full sheet of 1/8 wood and no table to cut it on. i stood it up and with the battery saw cut it down in a walk way only a cat could travel. .Being hurt stops a lot of things getting done .But as usual i got the job done.I spent hours on the printer trying to find out why it would not print .Many hours looking for my Dewalt jig saw,which i never did find. but found three others plus a battery one.I was supposed to get $10.00 a cross but she change it to $6.00 as she thought the wood was included. i sent all the info she needed she just didn't read it.Oh well, she's a good customer .She wants 30 to 60 of these ,I stack cut three at a time ,but my working conditions really hampered the job.
  22. Well a chip off the old block it seems,Pop's layed it out for you now it's your turn to excel .Your family now and with special treatment!Looks like there's going to be a long blood line of scrollers in the family from this point on! Save that first project to look back on and see the amazing progress you build up.Don't miss a day here ,to much valuable info coming in everyday!Welcome aboard friend!!!
