This is a US thing. Hamburger shops tout their 8 oz hamburger patty as a "Half Pounder". John olddust

You have a coin and mallet. You keep striking the coin with the mallet. Hint: Think McDonalds. Hint: The coin is a 50 cent piece. Hint: Another word for "striking". It's a--- Half pounder!!!!!!

This was cut from a piece of flooring. Check with your local flooring company and you might be able to get some good scraps. If you have a Lumber Liquidator nearby watch for their sales and you can find some 12 X 12 for under $1, John Old Dust

Here in central Arizona we have had now 30 days of 110 degrees or higher. Still counting. But this 83 year ol'fogy prefers that over shoveling snow or cleaning up after a flood. John Old Dust Scrollers do not have "scrap wood". We only have a constant diminishing dementional inventory.

This was started by another scroller who passed away. It was about 50% finished. I was asked to finish it. It took me about a year to finish. John Old Dust

I have an Excalibur 21 The actual wood size is 1 1/2 X 1 1/2" Pine. The hole or slot I am talking about is the one on the table that the blade goes thru. Blade FD#7. John Old Dust
-
I was doing compound cuttings of 2X2 and was breaking blades left & right. Even though I had tight tension I was pushing the wood too hard and thus bending the blade which then touched the edge of the blade hole in the table. Yes I know; Scrolling 101; go slow and let the saw do the work. So now I do not push hard and also have to find a way to enlarge the hole. All my grinding stones for my Dremel are to large to fit in the slot. Any suggestions? John Old Dust

I think I might have shown this before but in my Barhopping to raise funds this is a winner. John Old Dust

As some of you know, 98% of my scroll saw work is to raise funds for my favorite charity, the Arizona Lions Clubs Handicapped Camp. ( arizonalionscamp.org) I just sent them another $1,000.00 which makes my total over $48,000.00 up to now. I used to travel the state to do craft shows but cannot handle them anymore. I am 82 now so I mainly bar hop with some samples and also have a wall display in a local Cafe. A few months after the camping season I get some pictures of the campers I have been able to help that year and their smiling faces make it all worth it. Pick out your favorite charity and devote some time to help support it. You'll feel great about it. John Old Dust
