Not a new topic, just a great picture
OCtoolguy replied to OCtoolguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
You are very welcome Stoney. He is truly a master at marquetry. I only took one of his classes and came away with a pretty good understanding of how it works. -
Barb and I went to the Orange County Fair yesterday and they always have a great showing by the Orange County Woodworkers and the Orange County Scroll Saw Assoc. Actually, this is how I got interested in scrolling. Four years ago I met a gentleman by the name of Ken Cowell who was doing a demonstration of marquetry on his homemade scroll saw that he operated with one foot on a treadle board. Anyway, he wasn't there yet yesterday but this table was on display. He did a masterful job on it. I hope to be able to do something like this someday. Maybe. Possibly. If I live long enough.

I just ran an "image" search on google and it looks like it is for sale on eBay. I downloaded a good picture of it and will try to make a pattern from it.

I have no idea who but I would like to find out myself. I can see that on the lid of a jewelry box.

Brenda, that looks so painful. I got burned pretty bad when I was a teenager from a steam explosion of a car radiator. It got me on my chest and under my neck and one arm. So, I know what you are feeling. I am praying you heal quickly. That burn looks like it should have a layer of Vaseline on it and a layer of gauze to keep the open air off of it.

Something like a scroll saw machine?

This hobby has totally grabbed me. Best ever.

Our 50th is in December. It's been quite a ride.

I've considered that too. The reason I was looking at the old Craftsman is, it is the only drill press I've ever seen that has a quill lock on it. That is such a handy thing to have that when you don't have it, you'll miss it. Just being able to bring the quill down with a sanding drum in it or whatever the reason, and just turn the little lever on the left side, then the quill stays where you put it. I loved it and after I sold my other Craftsman, I sure did know I made a mistake. I'm still looking to replace it.

Workout room? Why would anybody want to intentionally make sweat? I do my workout getting out of bed 3 times a night to pee.

No, I've been busy doing these compound cuts and I needed the drill press to drill the holes in them. Once I get done with it, I"m going to tear it apart. I just know that as soon as I do, I'll need it right away. I almost bought a drill press yesterday on C/L. It was a really nice restored Craftsman bench model with a keyless chuck. He was asking $120 for it. A steal but I was too slow on the draw. He sold it to the guy just ahead of me. Oh well.............it wasn't meant to be.

Yes, I bought the saw off a guy here locally. He had it up on eBay and it turned out that he was only a few minutes from me. I got to check it out prior to bidding. When I saw what great condition it was in, I just paid him and told him to cancel the listing. Then I ordered the stand from Dewalt when they were on sale. I'm in about $250. I have taken it completely apart and lubed, adjusted and tightened everything that I could. It does a pretty good job. If I get my fence up, I may just leave it up in my driveway. I'll make a weatherproof cover for it.

I look forward to seeing them Jim. Be sure to post some pics.

Thanks RJ, I have been really going slow on these because it's so easy to screw up. One tiny slip and you have to toss it in the bin. These two are going to be a lot better than my first one. I told my wife that but she said she wouldn't trade it for any of these. Oh well........I've learned a lot since then and learning a lot more on these.

There is no problem here Kevin. I've only been married once. 50 years ago. Her EX is long gone.
-
I was going to try the Hawk but I still need to get acquainted with it a bit better so I went back to the EX. That saw sings. So smooth.
-
Once finished, we put a battery operated candle that turns on and off by itself and will glow for 4 hours. It looks neat.
-
I have this one. I like it and have tuned it to be pretty accurate. I also added a really good saw blade.
-
Less, you just described what I have. Small shop, long driveway, covered with awning. I'm thinking of extending the front of my shop 3 feet and put up a vinyl fence for privacy so I can move my bandsaw outside and maybe get a real table saw.
-
I'm making two more votive candle holders. 16 hours, 1 hour ea. They are getting easier and easier. I might get good someday. And fast!

I'm sure there are least a couple RJF.

You sound like me. Even with little space I can't pass up a scrap of wood.
-
Nice set up. I wish I had a tiny fraction of your space. But, I'll work within my parameters. Thanks for the great pics.

I think I wish I was your neighbor.
