    I am having difficulty finding certain woods in the dimensions I use. Suppliers I’ve bought from online don’t have the width selection I have used occasionally. Right now I am searching for 1/4 inch white oak with 8 or 10 inch width. Do any of my fellow woodworkers know of a supplier for me? Thanks

    Our daughter was here with family last Thanksgiving. She admired the Jewel Box I had made a few years earlier. Guess I’ll make her one.

    Thanks. I have my wood spacers, top & bottom boards cut. Waiting on my next order to arrive.

    I live in a typically dry, arid climate in the US. The woods I order will start warping in a couple of days after I receive them. Has anyone made a device to store wood to prevent warping?

    I started late Spring of ‘21 and just finished. I take breaks for periods of time for other interests. When I do cutting it may be for 1 to 3 hours each time. The detail work takes so much focus and slow speed cutting I get eye strain sometimes.

    Replying to Merlin’s question: The rear wheel diameter is 8 3/4 inches. Actually, I reduced the patterns to 70% of original due to thin wood sizes available. It made detail cuts a little harder though. The overall coach dimensions are 25”L X 25” H X 10.5” W.

    A lot of detail work, assembly and finish but finally completed the largest project I have ever done. Walnut and maple of various thickness, 1/8" to 3/8". The curved end panels ended up being a 1/32" wood used for craft projects. It's the only thickness that would make the bend of about 30 degrees. Had to stack cut with 1/8" ply and a #2 blade at low speed. IMG_.HEICIMG_1085.HEIC

    Hi folks. I,be run across a lack of supply for some thin dimensional woods. In the 12" wide and also some 10" wide species. I.ve planned out a project that I will need 1/8" x 12" x 24" walnut and maple. I contacted Ocooch and it will be a couple of months at the earliest they will have stock. Anybody have thoughts obout availability problems? Finished the last winter project: IMG_0460.HEIC IMG_0460.HEIC IMG_0459.HEIC

    I always have warping problems with nearly all woods. My area climate can be low humidity and wood warps days after receipt. Is there a source of kiln dried thin woods? I,ve used methods to straighten but it's a hassle that may or may not work.

    I still have no luck trying to contact Pedro at finescrollsaw.com. The site is still up. I’m hoping all is well with him.
  12. Retired Scroller
    Just wondering. Has anyone tried using the finescrollsaw site lately. I can't seem to get any response from Pedro there.

    I will send a pic of the Chalet box to Pedro. Wow, he has so many projects to choose from. Still deciding on the next one. I've got my T project to complete also. The Chalet Box pattern is from Pedro at www.finescrollsaw.com. His business is in Spain and he offers the best patterns I have seen. You won't find much assembly data, but that makes it more interesting. Kind of like a puzzle. I had to reference completed Chalet Box projects for reference. The clock pattern is from Berry Baskets.com and there is a variety of clock face patterns to choose from.

    Thanks for the nice comments. I try to challenge myself with a variety of scroll projects. There's always things I see I could do better on each one.

    IMG_4332.MOV Among things I have to do, I find time to do some scrolling projects. The Chalet box I worked on through the winter. Highly detailed, I had to back off at times and re-focus doing other things.I adde I'm in the process of restoration of a Model T, also. The clock is a nice addition to my garage workshop.
