I have tried every kind of mask and/or respirator on the market other than a self contained system. The bottom line is; I just don't like them. So I try to do as much dust creating work outside with a floor standing fan at my back and a EZ Mask. As for the scroll sawing I do use a RZ Mask only because I need the lighting for my work.

Outstanding work.

Nice display, good work. We too live in a small town, 25,000 pop. city, 125,000 total county and a $300 show is about average for us. We just moved here 5 yrs. ago.

I didn't tell you at the time they were about $12 so that may of helped the sales too.
-
Nice job on both. Good idea, will catch people attention as they walk or drive by. Maybe you will get the contract to do the whole street!!

I talked with a manage at a Harbor Freight Store and he said HF corp. said that they estimate 80% of the their mini tool boxes were sold to women or purchased for women.

I too have the stick. Took awhile to figure out the "search" part but once I did master it worked great. Lots of patterns there. I would advise anyone who does have one to get one.

Dick, If you would like, just post more of your work and I will pass them off to my wife. WARNING! She is very critical at times.....she hates all of my work. LOL

You did a great job. My wife is a professional artist/teacher and taught at Wake Forest University for many years. I showed your work to her and she was impressed she said "wonderful" which is a 9 out 0f 10 in her speak.

I know this subject has been brought up many times, but I believe I have a new perspective to share. I apply masking tape to my wood and spray glue back of the the pattern then apply the pattern to the wood. Well, many times as I start my cutting the pattern has started to curl around the edges. So now before applying the glued-up pattern, I used 300-400 grit sandpaper on the tape. This just takes seconds, but the pattern stays in place a lot better. Seems like the higher priced tape is coated and doesn’t like the glue. I have used clear packing tape, but the LED lights in my shop reflects off it and bother my old eyes.

I tried them all but the best FOR ME are strong, quality,reading glasses and sewing machine led lights. I have several sets of each at eachat my "work stations". So, with that said, the best set up is what works for you.

Steve's Scrollsaw Workshop is primarily supported by donations. I sent a small donation this morning to show Steve my appreciation. In the past I have used his plans and have purchased his Memory Sticks and/or donations.

The hands free feature is what I like and the base looks steady maybe use a couple of screws to hold down. But the price $114? Not sure how often I would use. GreggA is right "Great little setup".
-
I like the features of this tool set up for my toy making. So what rotary tool are you using in this set up? I have several Dremel rotary tools, will they work with this set up?
-
Beautiful. Did you make make the frame too?
-
I too don't mind paying for a good clip art and/or pattern, in fact I have purchased a few on etsy. I don't even like buying a scroll saw pattern books unless I know for sure the issue has the pattern that I would like.
-
Some sites whit "free clip art" require that you download a pdf editor but may or may not be free.

Great job -
Welcome Aaron from Randleman, North Carolina. We have a lot in common. My "shop" isn't much bigger than yours. I am retired and as I age it getting to a point I am very limited with my woodworking because of health. I was a ham years ago W8RSK (call not active anymore). Scroll sawing is a great way to keep busy. So my friend, keep during "things", and ask questions. Some great people here in our Village here. Jim

I have done this a few times when I need a part to be thinner and I have only a thicker stock but I cut it in my band saw.

good idea, very nice

My wife is an artist and has painted many pictures of heron through the years. We have over 11 herons types that live here in North Carolina year around here. Most on our coast. I showed this to my wife and she said (and I agree) " Beautiful.. outstanding art work, excellent". A few years back I made a ship hatch cover (re-production) that my wife painted a Great White Heron. She sold it for a lot of $$$ at a fine art show. If I can find the picture I will post it. Again a great job

I logged in and down loaded a free plan that I didn't have. Site worked ok for me. Thanks BadBob and edward for reminding me of Lloyds. I have purchase a few plans from them before but you know "out of sight, out of mind"LOL.

I have used Gun Stock Oil on gun stocks many years ago. Good stuff but not sure on the stuff I make. Will give it a try.
