  1. that is a very nice Jelly. Interesting site. I loved the round 4th of July one. Almost ordered one to see if I could cut one on the sroll saw, But NO more projects for me until I completed ones started.
  2. Well done!
  3. great cutting and very neat pictures
  4. I knew it, Dave, when you asked about or showed one several weeks ago you were planning something really cool, You never let us down. But I say shut up you two about the moves.. I am an old chess player from way back.. I hold a record that I am very proud of, I have never won a game! Several years ago, My grandson went with us to Mount Rushmore, I decided to teach him to play chess on that trip...He beat me on my first game when I was trying to train him!!
  5. Thanks for the video, That guy does a good job on it. Very relaxed and prepared. Enjoy watching.
  6. That is awesome, well done. Models are a real fun build. Like you it is something I work on off and on over a long period of time. I just purchased a model "T" plan a few weeks ago. That will be project number 3 that I work on sometimes. I am getting old, I have got to step it up some.
  7. Awesome job,. Dick!
  8. Glad you joined us your are obviously not just a beginner from the looks of your cutting abilities.
  9. Yet that is real a nice picture. Well done
  10. The Table saw has sent me to the floor and emergency a couple times. But lucky for me nothing this serious.. I really hope you are kidding.. The worst I have done was 17 stitches to the back of my hand. I still love my table saw.. Not it's fault that I do stupid sometimes!
  11. Happy anniversary! That gnome is far better than any card!
  12. There you go,,, you going to believe a lathe turner,,, or as scroller? Well which is it!
  13. I am pretty sure lilac wood is not lilac color. In fact I think it is white. Am I wrong?
  14. I wasn't so fussy about it until I tried doing intarsia. Then it became pretty important. Watching it closely is helping me correct a problem I have, but didn't realize it until I started intarsia and that is pushing the blade to one side and causing a "Not" 90° cut. I am improving but a hard habit to overcome. I check the blade for squareness, then check my cut for squareness, very often.... Getting better.
  15. Well Purple heart is not really lavender to me but it is the only real purple wood I know of. When I have used it and finished it with an oil finish it has turned more of a cranberry color, pretty for sure, but not purple. And over time it will turn a deep brownish color. I have seen some purple tinted wood in popular but is is more like streaks than a piece of purple. So if you really want lavender like @Dave Monk, statedt to stay somewhere near lavender, paint is the only thing I know or some of the color from some other coloring media I am not familiar with. There are some weird named ones out there.. Oh, I just remembered one,,, unicorn spit, or something like that.
  16. Very nice pictures.
  17. Welcome to the village. If you can do it with a coping saw, I would think a scroll saw would be no challenge.
  18. Very nice chair. I have always wanted to make a few. I especially like that yours rocks.
  19. The other day I was going trough a drawer looking for something and came across an accessory to a combination scare I have. I think it was something to measure depth, like a depth gauge. I never really figured it out and never used it for anything. But the old brain clicked on and I took a hacksaw to it and made the best tool I have come up with to check the 90° of my scroll saw blade. I cut it so it would fit either way, short or tall. The combination square it went with was a cheap one. Anyway check out you combo squares, there are other parts on them that could easily be cut to fit.
  20. Very nice piece!
  21. One of my wife's all time favorite singers. Nice job.
  22. Looks great, Dick. You wife will love it!
  23. Acetone
  24. That is a great job!
