Ditto - all said - looks great. Greer you can use scraps. Thanks for sharing.
-
Always good to have a happy wife.
-
Have you checked your local area's craigslist to see if anything close in regards to a good used saw perhaps? Just an idea I have seen others on here recently post that they have found some good saws that way. Good luck. Let us know if you find anything and how it goes.

Beautiful work. Hope you do well with your craft show. thanks for sharing.

More good work Kevin. thanks for sharing. I really like the napkin holder as well.
-
Beautiful scroll work. thanks for sharing your photo. I need to watch those sometime. Never did that I can recall.

Glad you two could get together. I am sure you had a great time and got to enjoy seeing all of his work. What - only 3 hours in the Mall - surely your wife could have done better then that! Course, I would have skipped the mall and gone to Scrappile's with you. I hate the mall - not much for shopping either (unless I am looking for new toys - err "tools" for my crafting hobbies.) Hubby says it makes it difficult for him when its time to buy me presents though!

use the sroll saw to cut off extra wood on frames
meflick replied to amazingkevin's topic in Bragging Rights
Then you need to say - that $15 was for an 8"x11" - how much bigger do you want it? for 10" x 12" - it would be X dollars, for 12" x 15" - X dollars - or you can say that $15 was for 8"x11" - if you want bigger - I can go bigger but for every 2" bigger or 3" or whatever increment it will be another $4 - $5 - $10. Figure out your prices ahead of time and have a "price list" to refer back to and/or provide to the customers for reference. If you have the price list - you can figure out ahead of time - general cost of your materials (include blade replacement, etc. not just the wood) and give yourself something for your time. Otherwise, you are loosing money, people are taking advantage. People will pay you if you ask for it. You are worth it! -
Definitely King of the name plaques. Do you see them in your sleep?
-
Theresa - remember how long has your dad been working with his saw and how long have you been working on yours. I had to keep telling myself that when I went to my class. Everyone there was an experienced scroll sawer but me! With time, we will get faster. (At least I keep telling myself that - also keep telling myself - remember how long JGR has been doing Intarsia - and others on the saw - time is our friend.)

Beautiful work and i am sure that your friend will be quite pleased to be the recipient of such great work. Thanks for sharing.

That's very nice of you to honor her accomplishments. I am sure that whatever you do she will treasure. You have gotten a couple ideas. I will put my thinking cap on and see if anything surfaces. You could make her a plaque perhaps with her name, degree earned (if you can find it out), school obtained from, and date. Add a grad cap and rolled diploma to it.

Beautiful piece. I am sure the family will treasure it for years. Now you have some time to practice the inlay process. Thanks for sharing.
-
Beautiful work done by both you and the person who started it and passed away. Very nice of you to take it on and finish it. It is an amazing piece. thanks for sharing.
-
Looks good Kevin - glad you were able to get one of your other saws set up and have it working better for you.
-
Everybody else already covered it Kevin - quit being the nice guy. 50% up front, remaining BEFORE it walks out the door. Sounds like she is taking orders then selling - who knows what she is really selling it for. You either need to work out a better system or not bother - if you aren't getting paid for your work - time and material then doesn't help you out. Be honest and up front with her and tell her so. Great work - so don't give it away.
-
Great job on both the frame and the cutting. I am sure your granddaughter will treasure it always. I wish her luck on finding a job and getting her own place. In the interim, I hope that you all enjoy some great quality family time while she is hanging out at your place. Very wonderful that she is able to do so.
-
Congratulations on your new tool. Glad it is being helpful for you and reducing costs. Win-Win. thanks for sharing.
-
More great cutting Kevin. Thanks for showing.
-
Great find for sure. Look forward to seeing what you do with that firewood.
-
Great job. I a, sure all the recipients will love them. Thanks for showing. Great ideas for wedding and anniversary gifts.
-
Thanks for the tips on this from everyone. This newbie appreciates all you guys and gals share.

Hey Hawkeye10 and welcome to the Forum from yet another Tennessean. Like you, I am also a newbie to the saw and the forum. I have an older Dewalt 788 (bought it years ago, didn't have time to learn it then) Right now, my primary interest is intarsia work with the saw. We have been "back home" in East TN for 19 years now (gee, time flies) but we spent 10 years in Nashville and I worked in Mirfressboro during part of that time so I know the area. Glad you found the forum, great place to learn from others sharing same hobby.

Another very nice pattern and cutting. I can see why your wife would love it. thanks for sharing.

Looks great. I also do paper crafting/cutting. I have an electronic die cut machine. I found over the years that patterns from that line, scroll saw patterns, stencils, stained glass, etc. can all be "used" with other tools crafts as you have done here. that was why I have several of the scroll saw magazines I have - I got them to create some of the patterns with paper.
