  1. Don't know but maybe you could tell what you want to cut then someone could help more. Welcome!!!!!!
  2. I might as well close my eyes and cut with spirals
  3. Beautiful piece of art. So many people that surprise and amaze me here. Thanks Paul for showing and thanks Jerry for inspiring
  4. Really nice cutting...Thae bowl looks great
  5. Good Humor post. I feel better about my mistakes now.
  6. If you and your Father-in-Law are a bit handy and have a couple tools, Delta's are easy to dis-assemble. A couple star bits and a ratchet set is all you need. In my opinion, your saw has a loose part causing the problem. Thats My two cents
  7. Welcome to you Walt and to your shop buddy. I want to say, anyone who can contact a Delta employee and get them to help is amazing. What part of Pa.?
  8. Pleased you joined us. Need anything, just ask and you may get 40 answers. Your scroll for your Granddaughter looks great,,,
  9. I do not know much about this. Will the wood re-bow after you de-bow? Moisture and lack of....basically, When humidity increases, the wood absorbs moisture from the air causing the woodto expand. When the humidity decreases, the wood releases water into the air and thewood shrinks. I cut a beautiful plaque for my brother-in-law. He hung it up in a very dry room. The piece warped and blew apart. This is why plywood is great for scrolling, each layer is opposite. Experiment...
  10. There was a discussion a few years back about bowing wood. You might want to look for it. Anyway, in part of the discussion was how to use a heat gun to remove the 'bow'. The heat gun method does work by gently heating the center of the wood. I suppose this removes moisture causing the wood to 'straighten'. Flattening boards with Heat? - by Mauricio @ LumberJocks ... I have not read this but maybe it will provide some info...if not ...do a search
  11. Brings back memories for me. Not just my good puppy friends but my sweet kitties also... WE would have a wall of scroll memories and in a way we still do but only in our minds. Della was a sweetheart, her face shows loving care.
  12. Such a surprise fact about the drought for 5 years. I am learning a little about Australia . Anyway, I will pray for moderate weather and prayerfully that will be what is needed. Well, I don't know what to say.... God bless "Larry"
  13. Well it's hard for me to watch because I see blades cutting a lot. You do hold a line quite well.
  14. Paint worked perfect Bob. Thank you.
  15. I have a pattern I am scrolling that has a title (name) in the pattern. My pattern is too small for me to scroll the name (title). My option is to print a mirror image and do an "Image Transfer" onto the wood I am cutting the pattern on. Is that clear? Thanks all
  16. Your scrolling looks greaat. Welcome aboard.
  17. Mimi, what I like about this place is ..." you showed a chair and now could write a book with pictures."
  18. Prayers for you,your Family, fellow countrymen and all the animals affected. May the Lord bless you all.
  19. Welcome. PLeased you joined us.

    Hello!

    Linda, I really like your pretty furry face. Glad you joined in. I've scrolled for about 20 years and enjoy it more each day. So many things to cut. As Dan said, or implied, you would have to work at getting hurt with a scrollsaw
  21. Glad you joined us and would like to see your scroll work.
  22. A big WELCOME from me. Roly. Oops, I'm Larry
  23. Steve, you did great job with Oscar. Really perfect colors.
  24. Jean Michel, I really like you wife's painting. She adds much to your fretwork.
  25. Here's translation of jean michel hello everyone, thank you for accepting me, I have been fretwork for five months, I am French living in Costa Rica, and fretwork allows us to live my wife and I. I present you some achievements made largely in teak. I cut and my wife painted, my saw and a makita. my favorite pastime is fishing in the river. i write in french, because i don't master english, sorry, but translations work.
