  1. Good job! I count my blessings, my workshop is in my basement, heated in the winter, cooled in the summer. It's small but comfortable temperature-wise.
  2. I like them. I have a couple of those nuts around my messy shop some place.....
  3. Some beautiful cutting!
  4. You really did an outstanding job, both on pattern and cutting.
  5. I vote for blue pine, because of the color and the description. Whatever it is very nice.
  6. How about a 16" Excalibur. Maybe not quite as heavy as a Dewalt. I have thought of taking a scroll saw because my wife sometimes takes her sewing machine. But, our trailer is not big enough for both and besides, I don't like to spend time on a vacation doing what I do at home. I spend most my time outside. So I take something to whittle on and when sitting around the fire I play at whittling, even though I am horrible at it. Lately I have been thinking about a wood burner. I have seen some beautiful pictures done with wood burners and they are very light and portable.
  7. Very well done!
  8. I have read some reviews and it was stated you can not reduce the size of an image, only enlarge. Is that true? I'm referring to the purchased software. I have a Mac.
  9. Very nice work.
  10. Holy smokes! Such talent. Beautiful pieces of art.
  11. Dave, Dave, Dave,,,, you do outstanding work. I always look forward to see your posts.
  12. Ha. you seem to be a practical man, now doesn't it make more sense to use a blade that cut all directions rather than having to move the board all over the place...... I like both types of blades, and switch back and forth to keep in practice. There are places the spirals just work better, and places where they don't. That is a great self portrait. Nice job on the pattern and the cutting. The pattern making is the hardest thing to me. Just don't have the patients to go through all the steps required.
  13. Gimp is more for that type of pattern making. Inkscape is for the lettering like name plates. Both are worth learning if you are smarter than me. I cannot remember all the steps......
  14. Here is what I have. It works good enough to be worth the effort and investment. Does not catch all the dust but a large amount. The filter is on the air intake side.
  15. You did an outstanding job on that clock!
  16. Very professional looking job. Beautiful!
  17. I'm confused, I click on the link you posted and got to the site it says "Free Picture Stencil Maker"on the first line..
  18. You are correct, the lathe is only the beginning of the expense of turning, but it is a great hobby also. Scrolling can be one of the "cheaper" woodworking hobbies, but they are all worth the price, Glad you are here,
  19. You and Neptune deserve the praise you get.
  20. Maybe the type of blade is even more important than the saw. Hotshot step in here. You are the best coin cutter I know of.
  21. WOW! That is nice.
  22. Great scrolling. Thanks for sharing.
