All you can do Kevin is keep plugging away, Its a shame I have 2 perfectly good vehicles here but I'm not allowed to drive it here the other one I had to buy cause my import became illegal, oh well you should be good now for a while we hope.

Excuse me Ike but I don't make firewood either I prefer to call mine Designer kindling Hi Jane welcome to home of scrollsaw addicts My name is Hans and I'm addicted to scroll sawing Although I'm starting to sober up as I ordered my blades 6 weeks ago or so and I'm rapidly running out I'm down to using my sharpest dull spirals. Anyway welcome to the village hope you find everything and more you were looking for .../Hans

Blue painters tape on the top only and 3M glue for patterns for stack cutting I use small brads in the waste areas

I only cut standing up I have my saw between waist and chest high like Kevin I have some Formica glued to my table to make it slide better The rear of my saw is about 6" raised I find this the best for me and sometimes I work on my saw 8 hours at a time. Its whatever makes you comfortable.

1 hour cutting time I used a #1 FD spiral blade in a DW788 saw with 5 MM cheap plywood

The vote is in good luck, nice piece you should have a good run at that trophy,

I live in Merida thats the capital of the yucatan state in Mexico

I need to clarify something here, some people here seem to be of the opinion that I'm trying to break into the craft sale market but that wasn't my intention at all (been there done that) I'm totally against that sort of marketing our products I know of a lot more profitable ways to dispose it. The point that I was getting at was only that I was disappointed by the response (or lack off) from the public. the second reason was to try and get rid of some of my pieces as my house is full and I'm running out of people here to give them too. My next plan of attack is to donate them to charities so they can raffle them off. But thank you all for your kind advise. .../Hans

Thank you all for your comments and your word of encouragement I wasn't there for the money in the first place I was only testing the water. But I'll go back doing what I was doing and enjoy my cutting time. The only thing I was really looking for I guess was recognition and some oohs and aahs which I didn't feel I even had my table there and I had to point it out to people, Just no interest. It will all go back to Canada with me where I know people appreciate my art.
-
oh you live and learn I had to test the market and found it very cool so no more I'll go back to giving it away
-
After all this time Preaching on how I give my stuff away well I finally decided to test the waters and booked my self a table at a fairly elite arts and craft show here in Merida Mexico just to see if there is any kind of market for the stuff I make. Well as you can probably guess from thew title after I paid 150 pesos for a large table and 100 pesos for lunch and water/coffee I lost 20 pesos today not counting easels and table cloth but of course I get to keep them anyway but it was a total wash out.
-
As usual great workmanship a fine cut from a fine pattern.
-
Great set up at a bargain price, I'm blessed with a good set of eyes, so far a pair of glasses is all I need but of course, everything is subject to change.
-
I have that very same pattern laying on my dining room table but I'm still waiting for blades that I ordered in the middle of December You'll have yours done before I get my blades I think, Oh well gives me time to clean up.
