  1. Looks good Todd!
  2. Great work as usual Rob!
  3. I saw that yesterday in the post from Fox Chapel. Congratulations Rolf, it looks like a fun project!
  4. I don't paint!
  5. I have never used them. With proper blade choice, saw speed, feed rate and good cutting techniques, you shouldn't need them.
  6. Great cutting Jim! I think the details make the portrait!
  7. I like your thinking Brad!
  8. I like your thinking Brad!
  9. I think it came out great!
  10. Those are great Dan!
  11. I too use Aileens tacky glue for all my scroll saw crafts. It grabs and sets up fast, dries clear and usually does not need clamping. I still use Titebond for general woodworking like glueing up wider boards, but for crafts such as you are doing, I would use Aileens tacky glue. You can find it at craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Miacheal's.
  12. Bummer Nathan! Chalk it up to experience, you'll know better next time.
  13. Hey Monti, you sure like those hard, dense woods don't cha? So do I! It looks great, nice job!
  14. Edward, what blade and wood are you using? I use strictly hardwoods for ornaments, 3/16", three layers with no problems. Usually use FD UR or Olson R blades. I never have chip out on the bottom one. Maybe some fuzzies, but no chip out.
  15. Looks good Rob!
  16. Welcome to the Village Larry, it's a pleasure to meet you! Where in California are you? I'm in Moorpark in Ventura Co. It looks like you have a lot to offer, so come on in and join the fun!
  17. Great job Dan, it will surely please!
  18. Nice one Ralph!
  19. Excellent work Rob!
  20. Incorrect! You can find Birch plywood at the big box stores, but it is not Baltic birch plywood. Baltic Birch plywood has more plys than regular Birch ply, and has thicker outer plys.
  21. I mix enough to fill a quart size glass mason jar, in fact I usually have two jars full. I have a couple of old baking pans that I soak the piece in. I use an old chip brush to keep the piece wet if it doesn't fit entirely in the pan. I usually soak for a few minutes. I will let the piece drip into the pan, then I wipe off the excess with a clean soft rag, usually an old T shirt. Once the piece is wiped down, it will dry in 24-36 hours depending on humidity. When done with the oil, I use a funnel and carefully pour the oil back into the jar. Make sure you wear rubber gloves or nitrile gloves when using the oil, and be carful with with the used rags. If you leave them in a pile, they can catch on fire, so soak them in a bucket of water, then lay them over an edge of the bucket till dry.
  22. cYou can't knock it till you've tried it!
