I'm in Arizona and we get Anna's hummingbirds year round. They nest in the neighbors tree and visit my courtyard all day.
-
Love the frames. I have to learn to do framing myself.
-
I need to get better at finishing so my stuff looks that good.
-
I'm wondering what it would look like without the paint on the phoenix. Just the background paint. I think it takes away from the scroll work, but that's just me.

I just used some the other day. They don't work as well as a regular blade, but I had no problem getting my dewalt to clamp them down. I believe I was using a 2/0, but I could have been under the influence. I was using a spiral blade afterall.
-
Thanks for all the advice. I'm using the normal 1/4" BB from Home Depot. Looks like standard 5 ply to me. I'll have to try the zero clearance card and maybe just change out my blades more often. I'm bad at using a dull blade.

I've been getting some tear out cutting portraits in 1/4" baltic ply so I thought I would ask the experts on advice. What blades are your favorites? Do you use any kind of top or backer board? I've been using FD #1 reverse on my Dewalt. Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated. Cutting most of a portrait just to have a piece break off is killing me.

Prayers out to Steve. I appreciate all the work he does for us.

Looks good to me. I tried spirals a week ago and just couldn't get it. kept going way to far outside the lines and even following a smooth curve was hard. Maybe if I practiced, but that would take work. Something I'm just not known for.

Yet another project to put on the list of things I want to do.

A Fun Cut? What does that mean to you?
dvdneal replied to new2woodwrk's topic in General Scroll Sawing
A fun cut for me is the one I just discovered and want to do, but don't have the wood or I have a backlog of other projects that have to get done first. -
Hello from Phoenix. I've been doing it a while, but I'm still new compared to everyone else here.
-
This is why I love my foot pedal.
-
You're going to screw it up and it's going to be during your last cut or sanding. Just take a deep breath and enjoy making another one.

I finally made an effort and got a picture of Ron Swanson done. I think I need some more practice, but it's a start.
-
I gave it a try on a random picture or a quail in some grass. My attempt needed a lot of clean up that I don't feel like doing. So my lessons so far, pick a better picture and play around more with the contrast to get a cleaner starting pattern. I'll just have to try again later when I have time.
-
I'll see if I can give it a shot this weekend.
-
I might try this with some scrap wood I've got just to play around. Thanks for the inspiration.
-
I've been messing with the video tutorials I found online, but I think it's just more practice. Although I'd love to hear some tips.
-
I really must get better at creating patterns like this. I get jealous every time I see something this good. It's worse since my wife is a Chief's fan.

Welcome from sunny Phoenix.

She dies all the cooking and she actually likes it. The family wouldn't survive me cooking.

The wife got me a couple boards for Christmas. 1 purple heart and 1 zebra. Both are 1/2" thick and 4"x4'. She meant to get me 1/4" boards and I suppose I could find someone to resaw them for me - I don't have a bandsaw, but I was thinking maybe I can just make something nice for her out of what I have. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?

I promise to come up with some better designs by next year and I'll even try to start designing before November.
