Here's my other drying rack

This is a double lidded basket made out of 5/16 cherry. Not sure of the details, but I did extend the tenons and used toothpicks as pins to hold it together; the is no glue in the tenons, it all friction fit. A dresser mirror. I added a picture frame to the back of the mirror, either use as a mirror or turn over and use as a picture frame. A small fretwork basket, cherry. I made my first one of these with my old sears hobby saw; 3" pin end blades. Take out the top pin, drill a series of holes to make a slot, feed blade through the slot, use safety pin to replace top pin, cut.

"asss youuu wisssh"

" I'm still having a problem turning inside 90° corners consistently but I guess it's early days. " What blades are you using? Standard blades and MGT blades cut differently and need different techniques. Standard blades have a " burr " on one side ( generally the right hand side ) and will turn better if cutting into the burr.

My idea, was looking for solutions and bing! an idea was generated.

Steve Good pattern. Search within ornaments, 16th pattern set "snowflake".

Here is my current system for drying small to medium parts. The rack folds to a very small footprint, they can be stacked for addition drying space. Once the finish is not tacky I'll set them out where the air flow is better than the shop.

It's the honor system for most of us, and to be honest it's not about "us", it's about the people who think that they can get a laser, throw in a piece of plywood and walk away for a while.

Added a little emerald glitter

I know a guy, saw him just yesterday as a matter of fact, who's wife would take Harley Davidson merchandise ( bought at thrift stores ) and remake those items into new items. While at a big craft show ( Las Vegas ) they were approached by a "suit" who handed them a business card ( he was a lawyer for HD ) and told them to "cease and desist" . There are those who troll sales venues looking for opportunities, if you know your product and where you stand with copyrights you can shortcut this nonsense. OTOH Steve Good had a blog in the last week about people on Etsy repackaging his patterns and bundling them with other patterns and selling them without his knowledge or consent. And the art publishing business I used to work at would have to scour E-bay twice a year to get the knockoffs pulled off the site. One more note; fonts, many fonts are copyrighted and cannot be used in a commercial setting without a license and if a pattern designer uses one of these fonts that does not negate the copyright. When I tried to find out how to get a commercial license from Dafont I got nowhere, just dead links. 20 years ago the art publishing business I worked for created a product that was; a matboard cut with letters for a sport i.e. football, the letters were designed to be very open in the center so that pictures could be placed behind ( think pictures from a senior years in football ) I used a font editor to create a unique font, to lend itself better for what we were doing and to avoid any copyright issues.

I am referring to books of patterns. Denny posted about a specific book and I asked if he would check the copyright for me. don in brooklin on commented about the authors website, which does not have the book for sale. That's why I started a new thread about copyright issues, I didn't want to be a big distraction from Denny's excellent work. The language in the books and on the patterns are clear as mud, and quite frustrating. I have over 20 books of patterns, separated into can use and can't use for commercial items. Right now the copyright issue is going crazy, a former White House photographer is being sued because he used his own photo on his own website. Last thing I need is a "suit" to walk up to the craft booth and hand me a card saying I owe them money.

This is a start of a new thread so as to not high jack a different thread. This is not an attempt to "call out" any artist or publisher or demonize any one designer over another. Any mention by name is only to attempt to add clarity to the discussion. Two of the Patrick Spielman books that I own, "Artistic Scroll Saw Patterns and Projects" and "Scroll Saw Picture Frames" specifically state "no commercial use". Most of the others only state "all rights reserved". Sue May's website states " only ten items per pattern" and after twenty items a commercial license needs to be purchased. And I'm fine with that. What I am not fine with, is going to a seller ( Amazon ) and not being able to find a copyright notice; so I'm buying a product "blind" and do not know what the copyright is until I get it.

Two questions: 1. How much do you dilute the shellac? 2. What is/are the copyright limitations for the book? Personal use only, limited number of items, etc ? One of the issues of buying books online is there is no method to determine the copyright until the item is in our hot little hands, and the notice can change book to book even with the same author/publisher.

I was having problem with Inkscape and printing 11 x 17 ( I'm not alone ). The pattern for these is about 2/3 the original, and since I hate waste I'm using the pattern that I have. I had some 1/8 inch wood, so that's what I'm using. I don't know the species; blade FD Polar 2/0, pilot holes #71 drill bit ( .025 ), quarter for sca

Pirate: lighthouse, compass, ships wheel and or anchor, 3d shark, jolly roger, mermaid. Renaissance fair: knights, fair damsel, dragon, daggers and cutlass ( letter openers ) , castle, fairy's, magic wands, basic sword ( blunt edges ), sword with inscription, unicorn, shield.

Danny, I don't know the species. I got the wood from a local supplier who sold them as "hardwood thins" pretty disappointed with the batch as they are very brittle and developed splits when I planed them. At the time I got them there was no indication of a problem, but their website now warns that the wood may be brittle.

The local University's, Idaho State University ( my alma mater ), mascot is a Bengal tiger. I want to pair this pin with an orange and black Shawl. You haven't seen one before because I thought it up a couple of months ago :), finally got the pattern done and cut, now I need to work the pattern to get the outside edges thicker ( pretty fragile right now ).

Here are some new ( to me ) ornaments. 1/4 hardwood, #1 FD Polar blades Various artists, including our own Travis.

Here's the latest off the saw. 1/4 hardwood, #1 polar FD blade, 1 coat BLO, will be putting at least 3 coats of shellac ( 1/3 shellac to thinner ). Original pattern by Steve Good, modified by myself.

What is the planer that you have now? How smooth are the finished boards? Have you considered the multi head units ( woodmaster ) so you could have both? I was looking at a drum sander myself, but when I saw post after post ( lots of different forums ) mentioning that you would still need a final sanding after the DS, I gave up on the idea. I currently have a Bauer 12 1/2" and could be more pleased with it. minimal snipe and a quick sanding schedule and boards are saw ready.

I recently bought this pattern for a winter project. I plan to use the miter saw extensions to support the ends, I will be using spiral blades. http://www.scrolleronline.com/product/Bear-Ridge-Mountain-Bench-Project-Pattern/876

Hello and welcome to the Villiage.

It depends on the type of chair that you prefer. Find a chair that is comfortable and build a stand to match. I don't like sitting so my stand is designed for me standing. The miter saw stand worked out perfect, and I'm 5' 9". I have a chair that I can use with the saw, stand or sit depending on what's hurting.; the chair is a hybrid ( bottom from HF top from tractor supply ) and I cut a piece of plywood to be a foot support/foot switch platform, the plywood rests on top of where the legs bend. From the floor to the saw table is 39"

Are you scanning the images? If so I have found that scanning to jpeg works better for me than any other format. If you are looking for definitions of terms; then click on help, go to the online manual and while in the manual click on the index on the top right of the page.

Just a thought, but have you checked the pivot points to make sure they're not sticking?
