I want to show you my jewelry box but i can not figure out how to upload pictures from my phone to my computer. sorry. Can anyone help?

Dad thought it would be a good idea to ask opinions on here in order to determine what the best planer might be for me. I am looking at three different planers: 13" DeWalt 735, Delta 22-590 or 22-555, I am not sure what the difference is between the delta models but i think it is that the 590 has 3 blades and is worth the extra $90 because it will be saved in sand paper. i am leaning toward Delta because i heard it comes all assembled and very accurate. i heard the blades last longer and the machine is quieter. The blades are supposed to be easier to change and Delta has a patented lock system that prevents snips. Any opinions?

I can not take credit for this scroll. Thanks for the gift paul

Here is the deal Paul.... I just moved here to be near my parents. They are not moving to Arizona...that is just my dad talking...my mom makes all the final decisions...and I can layer a thick guilt on her if I have to. We love Heppner....i hope your listening too dad.

I did not notice any when I painted it, but was not looking. I will see if I can get some info for you.

I am not sure if my dad is interested in doing another or not. He went to the second show and there was not many people there at all - like the first one. But he did mention that he knows now what he would do different. Not sure what those things are. I think more gift ideas and less Christmas decorations. It was a lot of product. I ended up buying about 10 pieces from it for my own Christmas gifts to people. I made him sell them to me. I got about a 75% discount off the already discounted price. The $400 should buy lots of glue, blades and sandpaper, etc. That is what we are going to use the money for.

You are so right. I saw the stand there about 2 months ago and knew that it would be perfect.

Lots of people asked about the showcase rack that we used in our craft show, do I thought I would start a new conversation for anyone who wants to know about it. You're going to be jealous. We found that in front of our local hardware store. It was just sitting in front of the parking areaa for several weeks. I asked the store owner what he was planning to do with the rack and he said that in the summer he uses it to display things. Sooooo I said well would you like to sell it? and he said 'sure how about $20.' See I told you you would be jealous but don't be too jealous because it took another $40 and several hours to paint it. I really like it because the shelves can be removed and adjusted on how much you want them tilted. Many shelves have a bar that can be lifted behind them for largee items and as you can see in the pictures how the top went flat and we made it one big Shelf. Dad and I are $200 short of our goal at the craft show......just saying. I think the hardware store could be easily persuaded to sell their other matching shelf for the right price. Not sure.

Well it has been awhile since I have been on this site. After I talked dad into making items for a local sale I got a second job and ran out of free time. However he took off to Arizona and was gone for the show. There were not many people at all but we still made 200 bucks. Am going to go to one more on the third.

that is nice

that is nice

Thank you.

i just realized I posted this on facebook. thought I would give it one more try.

Dad and I are going to enter our first craft show. We live in a small town, and so we are trying to keep prices at $30 or less. We are kind of cranking out the goods. Here is my fear - Will selling the items cheaper at the show interfere with the higher price that he sells his stuff on facebook?

I thnk this is a newbe question. Whenever I view someones post, and comment, or If I want to go to another post, I have to go all the way out to forum and search to where I was. There has got to be buttons to avoid this.

That is just so incrediblu amazing.

Thank you. I had to do a little redesigning to get that good of a fit. I always said that a good wodworker is one that can hid their mistakes. LOL

Truth be known to all, my dad was not actually begged to do a craft show. I think what happened is that he knows I do not scroll, so he figured he would scroll, and I would do all the finish work. Well I was thinking Christmas decorations - blue, red, green. Looks festive as backerboard behing a santa or snowman. He told me that no more then half the pieces can be painted because he does not want to get orders for that. (micromanager He had me use this very obnoxious gel stain....Will have to find a medium ground there. He does not think that intarsia will sell because most people going to those shows buy $30 or less. Also, time is limited. So I asked mom if she wanted to sell any of her pieces off her wall....NO. Me neither. What does everyone think about this idea > Take pieces off the walls, dust them, and display them with their prices in the back ground with a sign 'Place Your Order Today'. So, not sell our personal pieces, but have live examples and let them place orders. That way we can hang them back on our walls after the show. Do you think that will work?

Truth be known, I think he likes that he can just scroll and I will do the finish work.

nice job.

That is a beautiful peace. Talks a thousand words. Nice job.

I would like to check out more of your jewlery. It appears you have 60 pictures, but i can not seem to get past the first one.

Wow that is some detail to your patterns. They are beautiful I can not imagine being able to do that.

Hi Babela, I am a cabinet builder myself, since I was 14. I do not scroll - but I really enjoy intarsia. As i get older I can appreciate the weight of the small pieces in comparison to a sheet of plywood. I also found that because of my sanding experience, I can do pretty good at giving it detail. Your picture is great. Welcome to scroll saw. I am a newbie too.
