  1. 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
  2. Blue painters tape on the top only and 3M glue for patterns for stack cutting I use small brads in the waste areas
  3. What is this thing you folks refer to as snow?
  4. Hello Angel welcome to the village. .../Hans
  5. Great job Ron I did that one about 6 months or so ago and remember it being a fun project Now get back at it so your saw doesn't freeze up LOL
  6. Nice work Terry and welcome to the village I'm Hans and I'm addicted to scrollsawing .
  7. Yup tag teamed.
  8. Great work Kevin keep up the good work.
  9. Very nice thanks Don you got pretty close to the original
  10. Its great Bob That Phrase goes much like our relationship, You design.... I'll cut, but we'll never give up on one another. Thanks Bob I appreciate It. .../Hans
  11. I know Paul but the person who gave me this said they had seen it scrolled somewhere but couldn't remember where so I was hoping that someone here had seen it. As for converting I'm just not good at that, I can cut almost anything you put in front of me but I'm just not artistic. But thanks for looking Paul I appreciate it. ../Hans
  12. I've looked (almost) everywhere for this pattern but no success I would like to cut this for some friends 50th coming up If you seen it somewhere please let me know If you can create it that would be great also I truly appreciate your help. .../Hans
  13. Wonderful cuttings each and everyone of them Kevin you'd feel right at home at my house
  14. Nope just me and my trusty spectacles
  15. yes 1 hour none stop. it was a challenge for the smallest and the fastest
  16. yup Roly 1 blade only
  17. Yup just one blade Roly I'm always alone just me and the dog
  18. 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.
  19. 1 hour cutting time I used a #1 FD spiral blade in a DW788 saw with 5 MM cheap plywood
  20. Yes and Yes Kevin you pretty well have to support it as it gets to heavy to hold steady and cut at the same time as for cutting up side down yes of course as the saw only accommodates 20" but I used strictly spirals and there really is no picture on this pattern so it really didn't make a difference.
  21. The vote is in good luck, nice piece you should have a good run at that trophy,
  22. I didn't cut the table on the scroll saw Dick just the insert the table I build it first then cut a hole in the middle with a jig saw then used a router for the rabbit to lay the scrolled insert in the scroll piece is only 16 x 22 and was all cut with #3 & #1 spirals
  23. I live in Merida thats the capital of the yucatan state in Mexico
  24. 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
  25. 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.
