When I spent some time with a nephew in my shop, it was about this time of year. He wanted to make something for his Mom for Mother's Day. I helped him make a simple Mother's day plaque, I think the pattern came from Steve Good said "World's Greatest Mom". Might show them something similar just to give them ideas for mother's day. I'd take samples of simple to more difficult to display. Maybe they will go home and talk Dad into getting a scroll saw....
My local Michael's sell it in 12" x 12" pieces. Little more than Ocooch but when you add shipping, it is cheaper. There are also several lumberyards that carry it in sheet locally. Home Depot and Lowe's do not.
I join all of the above Hans, Was hoping to better news but we have to deal with what is given us. You have a lot of backing here, thoughts and prayers. I have several friends that have been in you shoes, it wasn't pleasant, but they fought the fight, recovered and are back in the game.
Please keep us informed.
Oh, Matt, so glad you are posting your progress. I will follow this for sure. I want to do a clock, I want to do a clock. Please keep the updates coming.
They are great. I especially like 2,3 & 4. I #2 looks like a shrine I got to see in Japan, Not sure, the one I went to see was gold and so beautiful. You did a great cutting of that pattern. I did #3, like yours better, beautiful cutting and what a beautiful piece of wood. #4 is one I want to do soon.
Got the second "Bot" off and running...well walking. This one for some reason was more difficult to assemble. Didn't seem like the instructions were quite as clear, at least to me. But with a day of tinkering with it I got it together and going.
This is so much fun!
Congrats, I have a nice 14" with a riser block on it for resawing, but I would love to have one of these smaller bandsaws also. It would be great for things a little too big for the scroll saw, but not so big that I want to change the blade on the 14" to do. I hate changing blades on a band saw. I find myself looking for other ways of cutting things so I don't have to mess with changing the blade on the band saw.
Okay Dick, slow down! Very nice. Heck I could have had that do in,,,,,2-3 days. "I am slow, therefore I am".
I am on my second day of trying to assemble the second robot. It is kicking my &^*! But got it figured out now, should finish tomorrow.
