Getting old frightens me.

I've not heard of Grok. How do you access it?

We have the same problem. Been collecting for years but can't sell any of it. The stuff I've collected will go to my sons. Guy stuff.

I just did the rubber band trick and have no problems with either of my EX's.

A Little Something for the Bottom Feeder
OCtoolguy replied to Scrappile's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Have you bought any from Cherokee? I bought some 24 x 24 in pieces both 1/8 and 1/4 and it seems to be good. I have used it all to make tissue box covers and I've had good luck. My only problem is my table saw can't seem to cut anything perfectly square. I fight that a lot. Not like my old Unisaw for sure. That thing was dead on. -
A Little Something for the Bottom Feeder
OCtoolguy replied to Scrappile's topic in General Scroll Sawing
When I first got interested in scrolling, I took a class from a guy who got me into marquetry. He suggested to all of us to get the tiny countersink bit that Dremel has and use it to countersink the holes. I have been doing that ever since. It works with very little pressure on the wood. I would think that you take a chance of poking the point clear through the 1/8" BB. -
I found it on Amazon too. Thanks to all. Much appreciated.

I have done a couple of her bowls from patterns in magazines. Whenever I have had a question, I emailed her and she has always responded. It may take a few days but when she has time, she replies. I hold her in high regards also.

Thanks Jerry. I posted this hint about 8 years ago and got no response. I guess you must be the only person who reads my stuff. LOL.

I've been sworn to secrecy.

When installing one of the tiny blades we all use, I verify which way is up and then attach it to a pocket magnet. That makes it much easier to hold while mounting the blade in the saw. Try it. It works.

Thanks to all. I now have the pattern in hand. SSV comes through again!
-
I just got one of her books but it wasn't in it. I did notice that cut most of the pieces in the book. Very nice.
-
Yup. No response.

I was browsing Marketplace last night and came across someone selling their Hegner saw. They put up a picture of it along with some other pics. One of them is this pic of a 3-D scrolled clock. I would like to find the pattern and thought maybe someone here has it or can guide me to where I can get it. Thanks for any help. This looks like something that would make a great gift. I would also like to find a source for the clock once I have the size nailed down.

Thanks for giving it a try and reporting back. I'm curious to try corrigated cardboard.

Outrageous! The times we live in.

I already have a Delta saw and like it but thanks for taking the time to offer up a critique. Keep us updated on how it goes as time flies by. I bought mine 12 years ago, used, and had to do a major clean and adjust on it but it has done a great job for what I use it for. I have not done any re-sawing yet but plan to at some point. I use it mostly for those quick cuts that I would otherwise have to set up my jobsite table saw. Mine does not have any drift so it works well doing cut-offs and short rips. At this point, I still don't have a fence but I do use one of the 18 inch bar magnets purchased from H/F. It works just fine.

Too late!

Paul, I am talking about the board used to slow down the fuzzies. A sacrificial backing to replace using thin cheap plywood. It was just an idea that popped into my head. I do not do this type of scrolling but a project that I'm going to undertake will require using a sacrificial piece so I just thought about what might work that isn't wasteful. I'm a cheapskate.
-
Once, when I wasn't payibg attention, I was pushing at the end of a cut and pushed my thumb into the blade. I got a bit of a cut but nothing to write home about. It drew blood but not much.
-
I will have to give it a try. I don't see it being any kind of influence on the blade. I might be wrong but it's worth a try.
-
You did a great job on that. She will love it!
-
I think it might have been addressed on scrollsaw.com. lots of info there.
