    My wife and I have been married 53 years and we aren't real coo coo! a bit tetched perhaps. Oh did I mention the long part? The gift is beautiful and I am sure very much appreciated.

    A cute pattern and nice cutting.

    The ornaments are nice but I really like the gear clock. Very clever.
  5. Rockytime
    Very nice. I like them. How do you fasten the chains?

    I started turning pens a couple of years ago. A few months ago I purchased a couple of scroll saws. Scrolling is infinitely cheaper than turning. Turning pens is a money pit unless you can sell enough to cover the cost of supplies and kits. I am retired and am no longer around many people as I was when in business. There only so many people I can give pens to and now I have enough to last me the rest of my life. I have quite a few kits so will turn them. There are lots of other things to turn besides pens and bowls. Salt and pepper grinders, bottle stoppers. key chain fobs, refrigerator magnets and a host of other things. However, since I started scrolling I have done little turning. Scrolling is ADDICTIVE!

    WOW! You in believing in starting with the difficult first. Good luck with it. I am anxious to see the finished basket. The design is beautiful.

    What is this wood conditioner? Is there a brand name? Wondering because I also cut plain old pine.

    What video? What are we talking about?

    I have several piercing saws but have only used them for cutting out brass repair parts for clocks. I don't think my vision and hand steadiness would allow me to do that precise work you do. Your work is outstanding!

    Is this the end? Leaves me speechless!

    I just got my Dremel plunge router and a new 3000 Dremel today. I also bought the chuck to replace the collets. Tuesday I purchased the the plunge attachment and an earlier VS Dremel for $40. The older model does not work with the plunge attachment of course. However, The Dremel is like new so that was cheap enough. I will be using drill bits in the 70's range. Should work just fine if peck drilling. I'll know soon.

    Just downloaded in six tiled pages. Works for me. Thanks.

    Would not a hand piercing or fret saw be easier?

    I have the Spring 2016 issue of "SAWDUST." It is done very well. It has 36 pages and printed on a nice gloss stock. It is very well printed and laid out. There is a president's message and an article "Out of the Wood Shop." There are a number of good articles and the periodical is printed in color. There are numerous patterns and a puzzle. All in all I am well pleased with the publication. I do agree it is difficult to maintain a paid organization with presence of the internet and social media. I belonged to a couple of small professional organizations that are now struggling to keep members due to unreal membership dues which are needed to maintain their publications. I hope they are successful.

    I recently subscribed or joined the Scrollsaw Association of the World. My membership is going right up there with my cremation membership card! There has been some discussion on this form. The discussion sort of alluded to some organization problems that were being apparently corrected. I thought, what the heck I'll give it a shot. I did receive my membership and their magazine the Spring issue as well as a CD with photos and 60 patterns. However, I cannot log onto their web site. It keeps saying I have the wrong pass word. The instruction say my membership number is my password. I have sent emails to the president, then the secretary and then finally to the board of directors without a response. Somewhere there is a snafu. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem?

    Just found a Dremel with a router attachment o craigs list for $60. Will look at it and check condition. Also searched for router attachment for my RotoZip. No longer made and very scarce so no luck there. If the Dremel is in good condition I think I will get it if he will dicker a little.
  24. Rockytime
    Thanks for the info.

    I would never have thought of that. Really nice.
