Brilliant, I love it.
-
This isn't in the 'university' Paul, it's what I did for you a while back, but happy it helped.
-
Nice work,, I love the owl too
-
I can do this with flat blades but can't do much of anything with a spiral, I wish I could.
-
Looks like a sweet easy done puzzle.
-
I suppose it depends on what you 'started' with when you first learnt to use a scrollsaw.
-
It's possible to change the colour of both the background and the outline of the patterns in Inkscape, I change all mine to light grey with a red cutting line as I have never found following a black line easy. which pattern are you using and what format ? jpg, pdf, svg ?
-
All great stuff. I wish you all the luck in the world, but can't imagine you'd need it. Beautiful pieces !
-
A great use of 'scraps' , nicely done. ! I envy you your comfort with spirals. I can't get on with them at all, even though I use them sometimes.

Never looked inside. I know the bottom clamp comes in various sizes. I love mine. Although I have a hex screw in my bottom clamp.
-
Not familiar with these Frank so may I ask,, you say you 'bought' these from Steve Good, yet cut them yourself ? I love them but am a little confused. As you say, getting old aint no fun.....
-
Yep, I've done it with both. !!
-
Aww, but you can do such pretty things with the router.
-
I depends, I suppose, on what you cut. I tend to use it a lot on my 'fine' work, but have also used it on things with 'bigger' holes. I have used emery boards cut to size before too. You'll find what suits you and the work that you do over time, we all do. I usually use 3mm boards in the main, but also 6mm. Anything 'thicker' I usually sand by hand or with a 'detail' sander. It won't however, smooth an 'uneven' cut, I suppose you'd have to do that by hand. Here's one with a lot of fine 'inside cuts' and I find it works well with this type of work. The horses are 3mm and the gorilla is 6mm.

Brilliant idea. The kids will love it. Nice work. !!

A friend bought one of these made out of steel for his garden and asked if I could do one out of wood for the house. Mmm, not to my taste, but he liked it. I think they plan on painting the stars Gold/Silver and put Ferrero Rocher around the base.

Must admit to having my frames in 4 pieces, router my rabbet and then put the mitred ends together. Perhaps cutting to within an inch or two from the corner and then finishing with a sharp chisel would work.

These are 'Dome' shaped. I've thought about trying it in my drill press but I prefer to 'look down' at what I'm sanding, it make me feel more in control.
-
It's called a Dome Sanding mop, it comes in various grits. It's bristles are nylon. I use mine all the time followed by brown paper. I save all my KFC bags It's made by Silverline, but as has been said, I live in the UK.
-
Nice work ! Bandsaw box is a great idea. I did a 'tray' for sweets with my batman.
-
I improvise and do this. It's a 120 sanding mop in an upside down drill. That said, I do pretty much everything on here even my most intricate stuff.
-
So cute !! I love it.
-
Nice, a good likeness too. !
-
Stunning, great work as usual. Enjoy the piece you made 'just for you', you deserve it !!
