    We definitely didn't learn enough. If everyone can remember, we became a united country that day, we all helped each other anyway we could. 17 years later, we are a country where HATE is running rampant...where did all the love go. I think we all know the answer to that. Please take a minute and remember the 3,000 lost souls and the responders who continue to die every day because they gave the ultimate gift of love. THANK YOU.

    Thank you Ray & Jerry for the quick replys. I noticed that the author is working on a new version, but has no release date. Jerry, it maybe because I am using a mac, but I don't get anything that resembles a gear shape and if I did it would probably print for the next week. Ray, I am a PRIME member, so I will be purchasing the book on Amazon. Thank you both again.

    HI Ray, Can you PLEASE share how you are going to print the information that you want. I am sooo computer illiterate that it hurts, I'm using a Mac with Safari and I am not able to get this to print for me. I then went to see about purchasing the book and it seems that the book is no longer available. Thanks for your help.

    Dick, This box is based on an article I saw in WOOD magazine, I think. My friend has that article and I copied it. I adjusted the siz because it looked too big to me and I needed it smaller so it wouls fit on my wife's dressing table.

    Good morning everyone, Thank you so much for the generous replies. * oldhudson...it is in fact a lift off top, I removed about 1/8 of an inch of material, 1 1/8 wide, all around the perimeter so it would be guided into position. * The corners are mitered, my initial intention was to put some splines on the corners using the same material as the legs and handles, but I thought that the box would begin to look too busy, and I didn't want anything to take away from the Birdseye Maple. * You have a very trained eye, the box itself is about 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 outside dimension, with the legs applied, the size is about 5 x7 * The handles are not glued on at all. I drilled and countersunk four holes through the lid and installed two brass screws in each handle through the bottom, this will allow me to take off the brass rod and polish it if need be. I will try to get some pictures with the top off and post them soon.

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to show you a gift I made for my wife's birthday. Ann Marie turned 65 years young on Easter Sunday, so I wanted something special fro her to go along with her presents. It's a jewelry/trinket box made form Birds Eye Maple and the legs and handle are made from Spanish Cedar. The piece between the two handles is 1/4 inch brass rod, I also used the brass rod to offset the arched legs of the box. I hope I can post pictures. Thanks for looking.

    Hey Pete, that's a real nice Facebook page, your work is outstanding. Would you sharing where you got the HEART pattern you cut for the wedding present? We are going to a wedding ceremony for two really nice young people who are attending seminary school and I think that cutting would be very nice for them.

    Hi, I just ran across the site of all the Russian fret pieces and I am wondering if I might be missing something that's obvious. There are a few pieces that I would be interested in in cutting, but I can't find a way to either copy or download the plans. If someone out there knows how to do this, please share this information. THANK YOU!!!!

    Hi Patty, Welcome to Scroll Saw Village. Before you realize it, you are going to be hooked so get ready to make a bunch of saw dust. To address your question, someone on one of the other sites suggested drilling a series of holes in line using the smallest drill bit you can and then insert the saw blade on it's thinnest axis which is the thickness of the blade. The distance from the teeth of the blade to the back spine of the blade is the widest axis. I hope this is clearer then it sounds, because I tried it and it works. Veining is no longer a painful chore.
