Before i read your post, I opened the photo to look at it and said to myself, "I wonder if that is a Sue Mey pattern?" Then i read your post and I had nailed it . Thanks for posting you wonderfully cut pattern', it is very beautiful Dick heppnerguy

sometimes my saw gets really loud with a combination of some woods and some blades. changing to a different blade will make all the difference in the world. I really do not understand the whys of it but it is what it is Dick heppnerguy

Paul, I have some of the synthetic grease too. They sell it at Napa. It is supposed to be the best grease of all. but I trust LarryEA and if he says the grease is OK then I would use it. Your call. If you need any help,, from there, let me know.. Dick heppnerguy

We are so happy that you landed here. This site is full of people that care about one another and what each is making and maybe if they have new goals, like learning pattern making or mastering the much hated spiral blade. so step up and show us what you have been making and be sure and search through all our hidden corners and see what you can find that your might like . Go on down to the university section and there you will find some great tutorials on pattern making. I hope you come back often and become a regular here. Dick heppnerguy

I live in a very dry climate and have never waxed any of my tools or tool tables. I have had my DeWalt for over ten years and it has no rust what so ever. I have never felt that my wood is in anyway difficult to maneuver on my saw table so I never saw any need to wax my saw table. This week, however, I got thinking about how many people use and suggest doing it, I have to confess I have nothing to loose by giving it a try. I am slow to change, as many of you already know , and what the heck, I just might give it a try Dick hepppnerguy

What is your wood of choice for scrolling?
heppnerguy replied to Dave Monk's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I too think that Larry EA has the best piece of advice I would follow that, if it were me . I have found that using too small a blade does make it difficult to follow the line because they do not have the strength to always follow a turn and tend to want to go the straight path. The thicker blades are easier to change direction with due to their stiffness but at the same time, because of their thickness it takes a little more wood with it as it turns, so one needs to find the one that works best for the project, the wood and most importantly the sawyer. My take Dick heppnerguy -
I am finishing up the other two signs today, I hope Dick heppnerguy
-
A fun idea, Marg. I immediately thought of Roly and remembered the ones he post a short time ago. What are you planning on doing with them from here? Just curious Dick heppnerguy
-
Nicely done. i was surprised when I opened your post and did not see an airbrush piece. Very nicely done. Never heard or seen a tree with that name before... Dick heppnerguy

These should bring some new lookers in your booth in November. Nice crosses. You have a great idea here that should become good sellers right away Dick heppnerguy

Glad to see you using Bob's patterns. He has contributed so much work and not enough of his are cut. I will have to go back and reconsider some of his patterns too, as I have only cut a few of them. Very nice work on both of your works Dick heppnerguy
-
Nice momento, I know Bob was excited to be able to help you with a pattern that is so meaningful for your wife and family. It is a very long time to get over something like this. We had a 10 year old greanddaughter who was killed at the ocean when a sneaker wave,(one the comes in unexpectedly and is way higher than any before it) came upon a log that her and two other girls her age were playing on. she was killed the other 2 were safe. I was reading her story in our family album and started crying over her loss. that was 16 years ago. You can only take one day at a time but you will never forget her or what happened. So very sorry....but your plaques are little healing, comforting reminders. Dick heppnerguy

whoa. we would get along well as friends, My wife feels the same way about candy, flowers and jewelry. The very reason I love scrolling is because she does love that and i can always scroll a gift for my bride and know I did well Dick heppnerguy

I made the box from teh tutorial that Jim Finn posted. Sharon and I have been Elvis fans for a long time so i knew she would enjoy the box with him on it. I found out I could do these little boxes without a lot of hassle. Thank you Jim Finn for the encouragement and the detailed explanations on how to make them. I did not have the kind of Cedar Jim uses and the fact that i am new to making these, makes mine not near as nice as Jim's but hey, this is my first box too. He is a pro at making them and has sold hundreds of them. I am one person who is lucky to have a Jim Finn box in my house, as I bought one for my wife for Christmas from him. I hope to make others soon. I also cut a wrapped wooden candy, Valentine piece for my wife, just because i thought it was a fun design, made by Sue Mey. Dick heppnerguy

Kevin, How are your wrists doing now? Be really careful not to over do things. They need time to strengthen. When they start feeling good is a sign they are getting better but don't forget how much they were hurting and it was not that long ago. Please take it slow and do not get yourself in that predicament again. Dick heppenrguy

I have seen this one cut before but I think yours is the finest one yet. You made it a great piece instead of a good piece. I can see great project coming from your posts. Good imagination Dick heppnerguy

Delivering flowers is a lot of fun. People are even happy to see me, when I have flowers for them. Hard to believe I could make someone happy, isn't it ? Sorry to hear about Patti. We hope she gets better really soon Dick heppnerguy
