  1. Happy Birthday john shankel!  I hope you have an awesome day!

  2. when i started i was using a scroll saw i got when i was a kid.. it had no speed control ,, my suggestion to u is find a simple pattern and try to cut it out using the cheap wood you got ,, when i started i was cutting a simple one it took three trys to get it the other two broke lol you just need to jump in and try it out dont be scared we all make mistakes... just have fun ..
  3. thank you birchback for the pattern it was a life saver, just some small adjustments to the carts so they did not hit each other , that would be my bad .. besides that it went right together like a glove...thanks GUYS YOU ARE THE BEST some one asked if they could see it in action but the site here wont alow me to do it sorry ..
  4. is the table and blade at 90 degrees , it could be just one of the clamps the set screw is in further then the other one
  5. google your area for hardwood suppliers , maybe craftsman's or something like that i know its hard at first because you don't want to spend all the money the internet boys want to charge , just take your time surf the web i am sure you will find a supplier in your neck of the woods
  6. not to sure of the spelling ,, but does any one have plans for a feriswheel , wedding coming up in sept, would like it for cupcakes or something
  7. yes i see no problem with stack cutting 1/8
  8. it does not sound good this is a snow bird stop for all the nortrhern birds lol ,,they clog the streets lol
  9. hi rick , i am not knowing of NC. but my wife is looking to possibly taking a job in the ASHVILLE NC. area is this near you ?? if so can you tell me what you think of ashville nc. we will be needing a rental property for a wile also so any kind of contacts would be greatly appreciated,,thanks in advance john shankel,,,
  10. i just made them up my own designs ,,,i saw a pic of one and went with it ,,,you can do it with out a pattern just get a wine bottle find some thing round like a roll of blue painters tape fits perfect inside of it then go from there,,, i used a relax wine bottle it is blue and tall for one one of them ,, instead of a candle my wife put tiny LED lights batterer powered in them so pretty at night
  11. yes you r quite the craftier i also am looking forward to the stain glass process please share !!!!!
  12. and yes folks that is the crazy elf from Florida,, it is dec24th and still in shorts and sandals,, no shirt ,,no shoes,,,no problem lol ,, merry Christmas all
  13. as for me i also dont like cutting letters i think it is becuse there is no room for mistakes we all know what the letters look like so when you mess up it is there to see ...good job on yours , and i still cant figer out inkscape lol you got it going on lol
  14. the hanging wine lanteren and a pattern by sue mey made it for a friend
  15. it is one of steve good's
