    James ole pal, good buddy. Welcome !! When I started scrolling I didn't know about the Village or any other scrollers. I just jumped in. You have an advantage and by starting here. I'm a proponent of searching. There is a search panel in the upper right. Start in General Scroll Sawing and enter "blades for new scrollers". See what comes up. Whatever you search for most likely has been covered a time or two. Wood thickness is by choice but generally not more than 3/4 inch. Many scrollers use Baltic Birch plywood (stackable). Starter patterns are your choice, again, do a search in Patterns and New pattern anouncement,,, etc. We love to see especially the first one. Larry

    I have a lot of old barn wood that is about 100years old. Don't use it much but when I do I always try to 'age' the cuts. Sometimes I do OK. Any advice on how to color or NOT to color? THanks All

    Hi Terry, Glad you joined us. I'm sure Kevin is glad to have someone from Florida join him. 20 years scrolling puts you in the "Old Time Scrollers Club." If there is one Show us your work if you don't mind. Larry

    That is a very nice vase Dick. The wood frame and base are beautiful wood. I had to move the flowers to see the top wood. Maybe it's Tulip. Larry PS: Dick, just to let you know it looks like it's a 'wooden' vase

    Marg, If you are cutting from the same ply board and not having a problem. I would analyize the problem piece by taking it apart, Actually, I think it was that third cup of coffee you had. Larry

    Hey bOB, Glad you found us. You can't blame the saw for your mistakes. You got a good one. I hang most of my mistakes on the side of my garage. SInce 2010, you should have mastered and completed something. Give us a show. WE like to oooooh and aaaah. Really am glad you're here. Larry

    Hey Phantom Cross Maker, just to finish the dimension discription of this cross of yours: A guess that they are 8" tall x 5" wide and both crosses are 1/4" thick. Call me the " Phantom Cross Maker CopyCat " Thanks Roly !!
  15. LarryEA
    Richie's words are worth repeating, 'Roly they look great, thanks for sharing. :thumbs:' I like the cross on the cross, the idea to make a cross from new wood and especially sharing the idea. Larry

    I posted something I found in a search and I should have caught the shank and drill size bit. Sorry about that, please excuse my mistake in posting the above. Larry
  17. LarryEA
    This info comes from 'Mini drill tool site: the following sizes:#80 (.0135") #70 (.0280") #71 (.0260") #61 (.0390") ... fit your hand drill, drill press your Dremel and Foredom tool with a 1/8" collet.

    Call Mike at the Flying Dutchman and ask him. He should be able to answer that.

    Yes, I enjoy baskets and yours is a nice one.
  21. LarryEA
    Roly tells it right. Spackle and fill in any holes then sand your wood, wipe down, apply a primer and let it dry thoroughly. Then, you are ready to paint! Tip: The kind of primer you use should match the kind of paint you use: latex primers go with latex paints, and oil-based primers go with oil-based paints.

    Dan, That will finish out just beautiful. Very nice cutting. Mom will display that in a special place. Larry

    I like to promote doing searches in SSV. Many questions and subjects have been addressed in the past. If you want additional information or just curious... there is a search panel in each section of SSV. I have no answer for you except 'search' in General Scroll Sawing for "selling portraits" selling scrollwork, selling, how to sell my stuff. Oh, and if you find an answer, let me know please. Larry
