Thanks to all. I really do appreciate your feedback.

Great job Kevin. Very intricate.
-
Thanks, but the next one will be better.

Ok, I will but if I do, no making fun of my gaps in the flower. It was my first time doing this and I screwed up. After making the first one, I'll do things differently the next time. I tried to cut the outer petals from one piece of wood and one pattern. By cutting the center line between the petals, it made each one of them just a tiny bit narrower than they should have been. Next time, I'll do each one by itself with a separate pattern for each one. Live and learn. I also need to be more cognizant of the grain patterns so I can get them lined up a bit better. Maybe next time, I'll try to buy one piece of wood and cut/plane it so the grain is the same throughout.

Thanks Kevin.

Thanks Les. I appreciate that.

I found this Gary MacKay pattern in an old SSWC magazine and decided to get my feet wet in intarsia. I have only applied one coat of Watco's natural. I can't decide if I want to shoot it with clear lacquer. Also, it sure would be nice to get hold of some wood that has color/grain that matches. I don't know how the writer did it. Oh well....... I still have to get some black felt to line the drawers and top compartment with.

A bit pricey!

Ok, let me amend my comment, I love looking at old machinery. No matter what it's made of. Sticks and rocks still fascinate me.

Kevin, many times those insulated pliers will get pin holes through the rubber coating from general use. If there is enough juice, it can find it's way through those pin holes and zap ya. I've pulled many a plug wire with my bare hands. I always made sure that I wasn't touching the cars body in any way though.

Take a look at this one. If it had been available, I might have bought this one. I like the smaller footprint. $179 and free shipping if you have Prime. https://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-L3210CW-Providing-Wireless-Replenishment/dp/B07FMS1DMX/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2J2Y840RML7W2&keywords=brother+color+laser+printer&qid=1560537907&s=gateway&sprefix=Brother+color+laser%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-3

Keep checking Amazon. When I finally decided on which one to buy, I did some searching and luckily I found it on Amazon for just over $200. Now, it's over $300 but they do come on sale.

It has finally gotten to the point where the great weather is no longer worth all the other B.S. that we must endure. If I were 10 years younger, we'd be gone.

Foot Operated Arm Lift for the Scroll Saw
OCtoolguy replied to baggetta's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thanks Al, and for those who may not have seen it, I went to your Al Baggetta quartet and gave it a listen too. Pretty darn good. -
Somewhere in this topic, the words "shooting board" came up and Les had no knowledge of what they were all about. I was just looking over today's email from Instructables and this popped up so I thought I'd forward it here. Maybe others will find something they weren't aware of. https://www.instructables.com/id/Making-Using-a-Shooting-Board-and-Mitre-Board/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email

Thanks Dan, I'll check them out.

Dan, I see your "brand" on your work. Where did you get your iron? I want to either make or buy something like that. So far, I have been signing/dating with my soldering station turned up high. It works but I'd like something more controllable.
-
Thanks for posting. I love all the ideas and innovations of the early scroll saws. I used to stand and watch a guy in Old Colorado City who would set up his saw on the sidewalk and just cut away. All foot powered like riding a bike. The hobby has come a long way. I wonder what the next big change/idea will be in the design of the scroll saw.

SSV IS THE BOMB!

Very nice Dan. Thanks for the play by play.
-
Well, at your advanced age, you will need something veeeeeeeery slow to cure. LOL.
-
Nice job. Great service.
-
If you are happy, then my mission was a success.
-
Thanks Dan. I'll do that too.

I will have ro check my store. From what I have read, you might live where it is still allowed. I know Ventura was cleared to sell it. Thanks.
