    Travis - Did you get my email on Friday?

    Diana Thompson's site: http://www.scrollsawinspirations.com/default.asp?ID=7&action=detail&ProductCode=14

    haha, don't go getting either of us in trouble Rob Roy!

    This has been sitting on the work table for a couple weeks. Finally got him cut and finished! Still need to find a better marble/orb for him. I believe the original pattern is from Diana Thompson.

    Depends on the project. Blue painters tape then glue for anything that may sit around and not get cut within a week or two (I'm terrible about starting this and not finishing til a month later). But if I know I'll get it cut in the next day or so sometimes I use that Scroll Saw Tape from Scroller Magazine. I really like it but it can be a little pricey and it will come on stuck if it just sits around too long (couple weeks or more).

    Oh good idea especially for pieces with the tiny breakable sections (that I keep breaking pulling the tape...)
  7. Casey Jourdan
    Oh I want in!

    Adorable! Nicely done.

    No one mentions anything in any of the videos or other tutorials I looked at. But I work with another type of resin in some pieces and it is. So I'm not going to worry too much when cutting it, but I will be wearing my respirator to sand.

    Love hearing this! Hope you find some and enjoy.

    Feels pretty solid. I'd said somewhat stronger than 1/2" hardwood (it's 1/2" material too). I smacked this around a couple times yesterday and put some pressure on the branches and it's still one piece

    Thanks for the heads up. I do a fair amount with regular epoxy resin and it's a pain too. I usually to sand that stuff to about 1200 then lacquer. Gonna try the same.

    Thanks! The FD Polar #7. I ran the saw at full speed, but was careful not to force the feed (which I terrible about) and it never got hot or melty, which was the 1 warning I've seen about cutting this.

    I've seen other folks cut Corian (the epoxy counter top material) and I've wanted to try but never got around to buying any. Turns out a friend of mine and her husband run a counter top business! He asked if I wanted some scraps so I of course scooped it up. Just cut a quick Steve Good ornament to try it out. I'm in love!

    Mine tend to end up in junk, still trying to get my email to stop dumping them there...

    I use the same. I have a few pieces that I sprayed the backer a high gloss color then CA glued the fretwork on. So far so good.
  17. Casey Jourdan
    Couldn't find one, so went ahead and made one! He cuts at 1.5"x1.5" Thanks for the idea, Hope you like! SaveSave

    Those are stunning!

    Don't know how I missed this thread. That looks wonderful!! Nice work. (and first time someone has cut one of my patterns, very fun )
  20. Casey Jourdan
    I just use a touch of CA glue for those little pieces
  21. Casey Jourdan
    Love the colors!
  22. Casey Jourdan
    Looks great! I always try to have at least one project or pattern that I think I'm not ready for. Keeps me thinking and learning. I've got a clock right now that's challenging me, but that's half the fun. Keep it up!
  23. Casey Jourdan
    Those are great!
  24. Casey Jourdan
    Thanks Jeff! If/when you want the full size pattern just let me know and I can email it to you. It's too big to upload anywhere here as far as I can tell.

    Took me all day.... But I learned a ton about Inkscape and am so excited for my new pattern! Something I've wanted to do for ages and inspired to get to work on it by the recent thread "Atheist-themed scroll saw patterns" This is one of my favorite Carl Sagan quotes. The style and layout are inspired by Shelia Landry. Looking forward to cutting it when I get some more wood! The pattern PDF I made is too big to upload so if you want it just message me and I'll get it to you via email. The finished piece is 12"x19"
