    Thanks Don. I'll see what I can find.

    Yes, a carving glove is a necessity.

    I could not find a way to PM her. If you can provide a link or message portal I'd appreciate it. Thanks Don.

    I hope you know I'm only kidding. I have the utmost respect for the Marines. A true comraderie.

    Yes, a good thing. We need new blood. When I first came on board, I went clear back to the beginning and read my way forward. I'm sure I resurrected some long dead subject matter. But, it seemed to spark new convos.
  6. OCtoolguy
    Exacly!
  7. OCtoolguy
    Sounds like something a "marine" might do. LOL.

    I would never wear gloves around any machinery. I'll take my chances without them. Too easy to get them caught and lose a finger or hand. My father-in-law was a machinist and I'll never forget him telling a story about a young guy he worked with that had long hair and it got caught in a drill press. It tore his hair off clear down to his skull. I don't even wear long sleeved shirts around my equipment.

    I've done that way too many times. It sort of wakes you up.

    That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Now I know which book to search out. Edit: I was wrong. I went to the article but I can't figure out what book it might be in. And I still haven't found a way to contact her. Scroll Saw Workshop is Steve Good's site. Woodworker's Journal wants me to subscribe. So, I'm still at a loss. That article does answer a lot of questions I had but I'd like to buy her book if I can figure out which one.

    Tried but couldn't find anything.

    I've tried in the past to connect with her. She does not respond quickly. I thought I'd see if anybody might have her books and be able to tell me which one to buy or not buy.

    I ran across a picture of a segmented basket/bowl done by Carole Rothman. I know it's in one of her books but I don't know which one. Maybe somebody here has the book and can clue me in. Anyway, I've looked at this picture for about an hour and my head hurts from trying to figure out what sort of a glue-up would be required to make this piece. I can understand the rings but the pieces in between have me wondering. I hope somebody has this pattern or book and can let me know. Thanks in advance. I'll be happy to buy the book once I figure out which book it is in.

    Me too. I do stay in touch with his wife Faye. We both miss him terribly.
  15. OCtoolguy
    Beautiful! I had to stand & salute.

    I've followed your advice and it works. A very light coat on both surfaces. Then let them dry almost. Like using contact cement.
  17. OCtoolguy
    That is amazing. A TRUE work of ART. You should enter that in a county fair. It'd take best of show for sure.

    I bought 2 of those hoses when I made the onboard dust collection systems for my 2 Ex's. I used the Metrovac 500 and a tiny cyclone with each one. They work great. The hose works great.
  19. OCtoolguy
    That's got to be a first. Have you contacted record book folks?
  20. OCtoolguy
    And I have a ton of them in my desk drawer. I also use one to "scrape" the bubbles out from under tape and shelf liner. If I still rode a bike, I might attach one to my wheels as we did as kids.

    I've gotten burned by a hot blade once or twice and I also wasn't paying attention one time and ran the end of my thumb into the blade. It did a razor cut right on the end. The scroll saws have got to be the absolute safest power tool there is.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Just under the frame of the saw so that all the dust just drops down into them. 3 Sided with a bottom. 1/8" BB ply.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Can you post a pic of what you are describing Rolf? I'd like to see how you have yours set up.

    I've been told that there are only two kinds of woodworkers. Those who have lost a digit and those who will lose one. So far, I'm in the second group. And I plan to stay that way. And I'll do it without buying a "Sawstop" saw.
  25. OCtoolguy
    I look forward to seeing just what you came up with. I have no 3-D printer or required skills to operate one so if might be interested in buying one from you. I do have dust control on both of my Ex saws but I'm always looking to improve them.
