    Edward i use pegboard panels I made years ago. they are 2' wide on 1x2 frames and i have them hinged together bi-fold style. 5 panels weigh about 30 lbs. total. i use pegboard hooks to hang my portraits with. We have a 10 x 10 canopy so i made the panels when opened they fit perfect between the legs of the canopy, then use ball bungees to hold them up and screw 1 x 2's across the back to make them ridgid. I do two panels (20' total wall display). This leaves the whole booth open floor space wise for the tables you have. Everything we take to shows goes in the back of my truck.Also having your wife's crafts helps make sales. The panels are 6' long to fit in the truck as well. sully

    Dan do you have your saw tilted forward ? sully

    Dick if you lay down a piece of press and seal on your work and roll it down with a wall paper seam roller then apply your pattern as usual to it it will peel right off when done. I used to do this but have found that loctite brand adhesive works great without the Press and Seal. sully

    I will sit and cut for as much as 3 hours and then take a coffee break then back to cutting for a couple more before another coffee break. If i'm on a couple of great patterns i may cut for 6-8 hours. If i'm planing boards down i've worked for 10 hours in the shop. Seems like a lot but i truly love my shop and just makin dust. sully

    Steve i hate to hear of your loss but as many have said at least no one was hurt. I'd hate for my shop to burn as it is a big part of my life as yours was for you, but the bright side is now you can build a bigger and better shop. Trust in the Lord to get you thru the valleys . Someone asked me once why bad things happen to good people I told them because it just does.and when you make it thru the bad times and heartache it makes you stronger. Trying to explain that to my 4 year old granddaughter was not an easy task when i was told i had cancer 4 years ago. Stay strong Steve and the Lord will provide a refuge. sully

    The two calligraphy fonts i have are thin and pen. Pen needs bridges added to make it scrollable. Heres an example of each. Hope this helps sully
  12. sullyscroller

    Very nice Danny. bet that would look good in a portrait style too. Hmmmmm Ya don't know the designer by chance do ya ??? sully

    Bob yes. The beveled or angled side faces up. this is the edge you will be sharpening. Very simply the blades get screwed to the bench just as they are taken out of the machine. Don't put very much pressure down on the sander. If your blades turn blueish you are pushing to hard or staying in one spot to long. I use a sanding disc rather than the grinding disc as it removes much less material also try to match the angle as close to the factory as you can. Just take your time and be carefull of the cutting edge they are super sharp.The only time i work on the back side is if i have a major nick and then i use my belt sander just to remove the burr and no more. sully

    Jim, The blades on the 13" planer are reversible and you can have them resharpened. I have resharpened mine many times. I screw the blade down to the edge of my work bench with a couple of small screws cut side up. Then i use my side grinder with a sanding disc and matching the angle as close as possible put a new edge on each one. Try to go from one end to the other the same number of times on each blade. Now this is not recommended i'm sure by the manufacturer but at $60 a set for these blades it works and i've done mine at least a dozen times with no problems. sully

    It would be more like a edge jointer then wouldn't it ? sully

    Here is a router table by sears craftsman and a roundover bit with the bearing. the bit can be used without the table or freehand so to say. I prefer to use my router table 100% of the time because i can control the work and not be concerned about the router itself. The fence can be removed for routing curved edges. The vacume port really helps to suck up dust too sully
  19. sullyscroller
    Barry, not 100% sure what you're asking but i think you want to make a base then router the edge with a router and this is better done with the router mounted in the table. use a bit with a bearing and the better the quality bit the better your edge will be. I like the round over edge best ,it's simple and easy to sand. sully

    Here's mine, holding a small piece of wood in my hand not clamped down and trying to cut a biscuit in it with a biscuit cutter - not good !!! Wood went to the other end of the shop which only left my hand to satisfy to hunger of the cutter. Knew it was bad before i even looked at it. Squirting blood all over my shop and noone home to help me. So I wrap it up with paper towels from the shop and head in the house to call the wife .She gets histerical in Wal-Mart and beats me to the ER LOL. said she just left $300 worth of groceries sittin in a buggy in the middle of the store. Needless to say it was 18 stitches to close up my finger . Funny part was everyone at the ER had to see how bad it was even though i told them it was a squirter ,receptionist , nurse, orderly,and the DR. Messed up a lot of pretty white coats. Lesson learned ---CLAMP YOUR WORK DOWN !!!!! sully

    Rusty, all saws will require some maint. All three of my saws have needed work, If you are just a hobbyist and only use it a few hours a week then it's a non issue. If you are a diehard cutter like myself ( 40 - 60 ) hours a week then you will need to maintain your saw.My first saw which was a Skil from Lowes for around $100 started breaking parts after only about a month. My 788 was used for ? years before it was given to me and i used almost non stop 2 years before it was ready for a overhaul which it's still waiting for. I'm back to useing the Skil and it just keeps on going.Type 1's are better than type 2's so i've heard. sully
  22. sullyscroller
    Hands down the 788. 20" vs 16" no brainer !!! Remember the most important thing about scrollin --- it's the blade that cuts the wood not the saw ! Each saw has good and bad points but my $100 skil scrollsaw doesn't CUT any better than my $450 Dewalt scrollsaw or any worst . Buy the 788 and use the extra cash for quality blades and added extra's for your saw. Coarse thats just my 2 cents worth. sully
  23. sullyscroller
    Thanks Dick , I'll have to check it out sully
  24. sullyscroller
    I'm with Dick on this, blade choice makes all the difference. If you are using the standard skip blades that came with the saw there's the problem. sully
  25. sullyscroller
    Nick when i was given my 788 a couple of years back at a craft show by a old scroller getting out of scrollin i did hug that saw in public with my wife taking pictures of it ,then i hugged my friend Ken who gave it to me hahahaha sully
