Hate to say it but I could not place this gentleman. So, I went and looked at his posts in "Bragging Rights". Only a few but I remember one in particular. He did some pictures using vinyl floor tile that I thought were very unique and neat, He also did a neat slot machine bank.. Very sorry to read of his death. My condolences to his family.

Riser block raise the top of the saw, mine raised it 6" for more clearance to resaw wood. I went from a 93" blade to 105", from being able to re-saw about a 6" wide board to around a 12" wide board. http://www.grizzly.com/search?q=(riser+AND+block)+OR+(riser+OR+block)

What a nice calming scene... Great job, Dick. -
If you enjoy cutting challenges check out finescrollsaw.com. It has beautiful stuff a Pedro is great to so business with. I recommend ordering the paper copies of the patterns. If you get the electronic ones they are hard to print to the correct size because of the different size paper in Spain. Usually cost me a little less than $7 to get the pattern mailed to me. I have done the "Dutch Box" and the "Five Dragon Box" have about 4 more of his box patterns to do someday.

I ahhh put my money on there will not be a husband around brave enough to buy that!!!!
-
Well,, just because...
-
Pretty basket. Great cutting.
-
WOW! What a beautiful box!! Is the pattern available somewhere? You really did an awesome job.
-
Nope. When you shake the can it rattles..... just the spray paint that you buy at the store. Be sure and save the marbles.....!
-
Yes, good to see your work again. I only have a few more weeks and I think I can start again. Very nice cuttings.

Pictures as promised, "Coexist" project

Looking really nice! -
Don't get me wrong, I love scrolling and I think I am pretty good at the fret work stuff, but the painters and carvers, in my opinion have more talent in their little fingers than I have in my whole body. I can maneuver a piece of wood to cut out the black, but that is mechanical compared to carving a piece of wood into a neat form or painting a picture,,,,, well I use to do paint by numbers pretty well... But you know, I am old enough now that I don't need approval, so I am going to try carving and only I need to approve of what I produce... No one else has to even see it. By the way, I recently purchased a couple detail knife blades and made handles for them. I already cut myself just wrapping them up to put them away. I think my username may go from Scrappile to 3fingers......

Thanks, and yes I have spent hours watching them. I will get started with "Sharonmyart" soon. Looks like about my speed. There are some great videos out there.

On my saws it is just the opposite. Most the dust is collected above the table because I use zero clearance inserts. Very little dust actually comes out the bottom. I have thought of eliminating the bottom collection although I have it in place and really see no advantage in eliminating it. I use to use a box fan setup, but felt that although it caught a large percent of the dust, what it didn't catch was being blown into air to settle all over and for me to breath. I guess there is no perfect setup, but I do know I like to collect all I can and wish I had taken the time to develop dust collection when I was much younger...
-
I am no expert on this. I just know the bigger the opening the quieter the sucking sound. Keep in mind these dust extractors are made to be attached to orbital sanders, hand held belt sanders and other tools. They do not 1 1/4" connectors to attach the Fein to. But it works great with them.
-
I understand what you are saying, but even reducing to the 3/4" still allows plenty of suction. Even the attachments that came with my Fein reduce to 1 1/4" when I use them to vac the floor and such. However the reduction to 3/4" certainly increases the suction noise greatly. This tells me that increasing the diameter of the pvc pipe and the opening at the end of the line should reduce the noise as well as increase suction, which may lift my work piece off the table! I am going to play around with it some and see what happens. Can't scroll yet, may as well experiment with the dust collection while my eyes heal up.
-
The quickest way to find out what it would be good for is to throw it out. Within a couple days after the garbage it picked up you will find something you really wish you had it for.
-
There is another noise to my scroll saw dust collection, that I have not figured out how to erase or reduce. That is the sound of the sucking air from the "nozzle" (3/4" loc-line nozzle). That noise is louder than my Fein vac and scroll saw. I do not know how many Db it is but it is a little annoying. When I get back to scrolling, I an going to experiment and try to fix that.

Welcome to the forum! Glad to meet you. I use to scroll mostly with spiral blades, but decided to really give flat blades a try. Now I use both depending on what I am cutting. I am very happy that I learned to use both, make scroll even more fun. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

Simple, beautiful and the perfect piece of wood for it.
-
Very well cut!

Very nice!

I've seen Black Walnut that looked like that.

If you scroll down a few post in this thread, he shows the process.... somewhat.
