Great job in cutting and designing Oh I remember the bamboo fishing pole with a line and bobber, weight and hook with worm, yup it doesn't seem that long ago.

Good job Dan good deal on the ash also it will come in handy one day you wait and see

Thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging comments as usual I very much appreciate them. .../Hans

No its only 1 panel mind you it doesn't matter 1 or 6 I just stack them anyway but it takes about 4 hours to cut a panel.

Yes the bars are 1/8 plywood x 1/8 wide so there really is no strength Paul and then I have to deal with a lot of voids in the plywood as well.

Were cutting it this evening it broke right at the rings so there was no fixing it.

Painstakingly and much breakage, sweat, tears, cusses well you get the picture its done except for a missing panel in the rear, that i broke a few minutes ago while assembling this unit its like you get one side in and the other pops out and you just cant force 1/8" plywood especially when you cut 75% of the strength out of it So there you have it enjoy.

Ok I want to put my 2 bits in that is a fine piece you cut, you overcame all your little problem areas very well congratulations.

Love the signs Kevin got to go where the money is buddy.

Nice work Thomas keep it up, how big is the guitar?

Great stuff to funny thanks for sharing this moment with us.

I'm with you Kevin Surely if I was married I would not be doing all that scrolling

We'll never see or hear from Dick again He'll strike it rich and move to California Beverly Hills that is Well you all know the story. Great idea Dick go for it I wish you well so I'won't have to sleep on the floor when I come to visit.

Thanks folks I gave it away to another artist who is going to use it in one of his pieces, To me the enjoyment is in the cutting so I've got what I want and I'm about 1/2 way to re building it so no biggy.

Steve Scrolling is much like fishing to me, you don't always catch something

I did read your Post Dick, thats what spurred me on to post my boo boo, but yes our hobby is scroll sawing, and that was accomplished the end result was just postponed thats all.

I spend 3 days cutting this and a bunch more when I found I had mixed up the print size so all this was to big (sniff) Oh well started all over it will be a week or so before you'll see this one.

Hey everybody I'm not totally out of blades just spirals I still have some flat blades left thats what I'm using now Once they are gone i'm not going to be a happy camper and will more then likely book a trip north to get me some, just hope it won't come to that. Thank you everybody for your help and comments.

No room for both of us in Heppner Dick you'd have to move

You buy my house I would give you March 1st for possession date Larry

Thanks but I'll be going to Canada myself this summer and I'll be sure to load up before I come back

Do pinned blade come in smaller sizes then an 8 or so cause not here Tried that Dan but there is no way this gringo is going to convince him otherwise I had names and addresses and pictures and everything on my ipod but he just wasn't interested.

Its not that easy Dan There are so few people that even know what a scroll saw is, there is the odd one that has a cheap saw that takes pin type Blades they cut things into wood the find like pallets or other scrap material the may find. But nobody that I have found here is into fret sawing. The people here don't spend money on good tools they make most of their tools Like a bend piece of rebar makes a hacksaw etc its unbelieveable at times, I've watched them work with some of those tools or should I say struggle as there is absolutely no way you can produce a decent job with that junk so I usually end up giving them the right tools which then end up on the dash of their truck to never be used only to show off to their co-workers. So to make a long story short I don't think there would be a market in Scrollsaw blades yet maybe a few years down the road as the economy here is picking up and they finally developed a middle class that spends a bit of money but not yet. That manager was right from a business perspective, they only use pin type so why stock pinless?

Yes Dick we have ups here but Mike will only ship via first class mail and yes Steve I'm still waiting for that Order from Mike back in December. Dick thank you for the offer but as I said before they never get here by mail I'm still waiting for stuff mailed to me 4 years ago. It just doesn't get here. Courier is the only way and then I would have to order large quantities to make it worthwhile as couriers tend to be expensive.

Not Always Kevin as I ended up with nothing.
