  1. Very, very nice cutting. Please follow doctors orders. I had back surgery several years ago. The surgery went even better than expected and the hardest part for me was not being able to do much or lift anything over 5 pounds for 6 weeks. I felt great it was so hard to stay down. I really hope yours goes a well.
  2. I guess this thread coming up is to remind me I have already mentioned this before,, well I am old I am allowed to forget! My main concern is the smoothness of the cut. Getting a good finish on something like a chess piece may be a difficult thing.
  3. I know what assume can do but I was going to respond the same as Barb did Masecraft Supply Co. 254 Amity Street Meriden Ct, 06450 USA 1-800-682-5489
  4. Dave when I try I well tell you but do to some health problem have do less and less scrolling. Hope to get back. I think the block I have is a little thin. Well let you know when I get a chance to try it.
  5. Oh man Dave that is a beauty! You Re the chess set King, for sure. I have a piece of alternative Ivory for the light colored pieces. I do not know how well it will cut on a scroll saw, I have turned it on a lathe and it was very nice to turn. I also do not know how it will price out either. May find it is overly expensive, I do have a piece I am going to play with to see how it would look, how much sanding after cutting is another consideration. But if it you like Ivory and it worked it would be beautiful. https://www.masecraftsupply.com/Alternative-Ivory-col849TM_c_268.html
  6. I have looked at the CS and other Carter products many times. I think I would use my bandsaw more if I had them, but I just can not bring myself to spend the money. Thanks for the info.
  7. Great job on the sign, sure to induce Spring Fever!
  8. Great cuttings, Jeff!
  9. Yes another beauty! Wouldn't you love a ride in one of those?
  10. Very nice!
  11. Seems to me, the Seyco 24" would be a good down the middle between a 20" abd a 30" saw, In my small shop I would pick the 24".
  12. Great job...as always... My theme song! I think it all the time but it is not always working.
  13. Very beautiful piece! I would imagine that is a difficult cut. Delicate cut, in thick wood, that has grain running every direction at once. Wonderful job.
  14. Toured there. very interesting.
  15. Still looks very nice. I also love that pattern.
  16. Thanks, I am old turned 80 and my Hegner is gettin old. been thinking about replacing the bushing,, both in the saw and myself... I will check into this!
  17. I wonder, do they shrivel up as they dry out? some very beautiful carvings out there done with them.
  18. I am calling it, looking great!
  19. Seams like I remember people turning them on their wood lathes. I do not remember what for. Never heard of cutting them on a scroll saw, so do it and report back! I know some do carvings with them. I think your are correct about jewelry, Not big enough to do much else with.. I hope you try it and report back!
  20. Nice! Looks like fun, not only to build but to play with also.
  21. You certainly have put a lot of work into that site. Very nice. I do not have time to read it all right now but have it bookmarked. You may mention it on your site but the site https://www.finescrollsaw.com has many old fretwork patterns that are free to download.
  22. Nice cuttings, Ralph...
  23. Great looking boxes! I have got to cut some after I finish some other projects.
  24. That is mighty fine. Great scrolling.
  25. Very nice! Great picture.
