  1. I too enjoy your fretwork. Very nice mobile rocker. You are one of the few to use hand saw.!!!!!!!!!!! I am interested in information about your fret saw. I have one also but have a problem using it. I have trouble compressing the ends and clamping the blade. I find I need 'FOUR' hands to thread the blade and clamp the blade end. How do you accomplish attaching the blade end to the saw after you thread it? Thank you.
  2. JIm, that is super, the green really sets it off!

    Trout

    Steve, I've been scrolling for 10+ years and am still experimenting with blades. For cutting these trout using two 1/2" maple boards (stacked = 1") I used: 1) #2 Olson FR440R .026 x .011 .... These for fins, inside tail, small cuts. 2) #2 Olson FR443 .029 x .012 .... for speckles, eyes and gills. 3) #3 Flying Dutchman Penquin Silver .031 x .013 Disclaimer: I would not necessarly use these blades for different patterns / different wood. I know blades by width and thickness Smallest I use is .022 x .009, largest .044 x .0?? I generally know the size blade (ie: .026 x .011) I want to start with. Depending on how it cuts, determines if I change.
  4. I can just see them, hitching a ride, little bag on a stick. Makes me smile Roly,,, a good one.

    I thank the pattern maker. I cannot find my original copy so do ot know where I got the pattern. Been told I thank Steve Good. Stack cut two from 1/2" Maple. Dimensions are: 12" x 8 1/2" I had a problem cutting the fins...... Just finished cutting. Still need to lacquer finish and attach backers. Critiques Tolerated
  6. Very good! I like all of them.
  7. Clap, clap, clap. I like the story , thanks for sharing.
  8. A nice puppy picture and I like your wood cut of your Papillon. You have a temporary frame nwo, is that correct?
  9. Find a Bible quote and say it when you have an urge. JUst a suggestion. The Lord is my strength.
  10. God Bless, good job.
  11. Where's the fridge and bed going? You make a lot of us desirous of your shop. It is a castle shop.
  12. Very nice! Now.... tell me what wood you used.
  13. That is a nice piece you've make. I like it.
  14. That is the only one of his '59 T-Bird. 50 a fair price for that nice piece. A question: What color is his T-Bird? I ask because your scroll work of the T-Bird is an interesting (faded?) red.
  15. They are just fantastic!
  16. Welcome!
  17. Critique this please.. If you want constructive critiques, maybe ask. Berry covered it pretty well. One point, " does the fewer comments " indicate a critique in itself?
  18. # 5 blades Order from: * Scroll Saw Blades - Sloan's Woodshop * The Wooden Teddy Bear, Inc. Both are great places
  19. The heavier the line, the more definition of the main subject you cut. The dress (night coat) and hat need to be cut on the outer edges of the black. As you said it: cut out the entire line !!!!
  20. This is a tough question, I know the answer for Me. First, for scrolling, I have never used a pinned blade. When to change a blade? Assuming you are using the best blade for the wood you are cutting, ....... Hate to say it, but it is experience for me. If I don't like the way it cuts, it is either the wrong blade for the wood or it is dull.
  21. Yes, I like those. Very nice, well done.
  22. Larry, Welcome and a hello from 1509 feet elevation. Really pleased to have another Larry here at the Village. We do enjoy seeing your work also. Enjoy,there's a lot here.
  23. That is a Fall Classic. I like the Acorns best, they are just perfect
  24. I like your house!
  25. Hey, I'm glad you joined us. Want to see some of your scrolling please. Hey, is your avatar an old country store? Can't read the sign but is reminded me of the movie... "Fried Green Tomatoes"
