Paul I just responded to your question on Steve Good's forum but thought I would also respond here so the folks here could see it. I did this a few years ago adding 4 inches to the front and two inches to each side - steel plate like you are using. I use only Johnson's paste wax. I really love the larger size and you will also. Main thing for your nephew will be getting the countersink on the holes and it will be great if you can get him to round the corners so you do not have sharp edges. I attached the before and after so you and others can see it.

Excellent - say the photograph and wondering if the bottle of beer would appear in the cutting; glad you were true to the photograph.

Everyone at SSV fits the description

Ray There have been a lot of prior threads on dust collection and a lot of different approaches. You can go to the top of the page and type in "dust collection" and select "forum" from the drop down menu and it will bring up a lot of different posts and threads. The following will take you to two of the threads which had the most comments. Do take dust collection seriously. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/8336-dust-protection/?hl=+dust%20+collection http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/7141-dust-collection/?hl=%2Bdust+%2Bcollection Maybe after reading all of the posts you will be able to come up with what works best for you. Dust collection seems to be a regularly recurring item on which a lot has been posted. If Travis sees this I wonder if he thinks it would be worthy of being a separate topic in the forum and moving some of the existing threads on dust collection to a new topic on the forum so they do not get so buried in the "General" topic.

Tom I give everything a bath in Natural Danish Oil, remove from the bath and place on Scott shop towels for a few minutes for interior cuts to drain, wipe with Scott shop towels, and then place on parchment paper. I do another wipe with Scott towels in a half hour to hour to get any runs from interior draining. 8 to 12 hours later I do the same routine and then 8 to 12 hours later I go over with 0000 steel wool for final finish and then blow off with an air compressor. I then try to see if there is anyone I can give the final product to or whether to just put in in a shoebox under my workbench..

Looks great Danny - what is the wood?

Thanks Jim B. and Larry - we will see if Jim Finn wants to update his excellent detail on Lumber Jocks which I have printed for a resource. Next will be watching the Steve Good video.
-
Jim - and you other masters - how about some simple descriptions on how to do inlays with some pictures of the stages or a reference or two to some good sources for a person of limited skills.. I am too intimidated for intrasia but am intrigued by inlay and would like to give it a try.

Blue painter's tape - top only, 3M 45 spray adhesive, then pattern, then drill holes and start cutting
-
I agree with Jerry - I had to replace mine and purchased from the web site he shows. Unless you are really on a strict budget for the cost of a couple of six packs or a small pizza I would also recommend the tool for assembly of the lines - heat and hot water can work but even then their is a large amount of frustration and you should not do it when young children or your pastor are around. http://www.modularhose.com/Loc-Line-14-System/14-hose/78001

One hour - you are sh------ me!

You had gravel on your roads? Much more luxury than my farm youth.

If it is for Roy, I think use the tutu idea from the other thread - really reach for his feminine side.

Russell I am intimidated by all of you wonderful pattern makers. In comparison scrolling is easy - just follow the lines and tighten your pucker factor when you get to the "O", "S", and "C" letters. It is mostly relaxing and learning you feed into the blade at an angle to cut a straight line and then trying to figure out how the h____ you feed to get the perfect curved line. You will have perfection in no time and be wondering why more experienced scrollers like myself are still having to think about how to do it instead of just doing it. You will get addicted to cutting; I just hope you do not get so addicted that you forget to do and share your wonderful patterns. Think what you could do with a $10 saw.
-
I think the pattern maker deserves the credit - I just tried to do it justice.
-
Simply awesome - you better have something equivalent for each of the grandchildren, but with your work that should not be a problem.
-
Thanks for the nice comments - I do not keep track of time but probably around two hours and half a dozen blades; most of the cutting on this was with # 1 rather than the 2/0.
-
Pattern by Birchbark - thanks Russell. 3/4 white oak, FD #1 and # 2/0 spirals, two baths in natural Danish Oil.

Branden By now you know not to believe everything Danny says but you do need to watch out for those folks over the pond and the lady from down under - they provide a large part of our entertainment. You talked about Danny's amazing art - do you mean he really does do all of the stuff he shows us? If so, I agree - it is amazing, a big guy with a delicate touch and the soul of an artist.
-
Welcome aboard Branden. Now we expect to hear the truth about Danny and at least an occasional good ranch story from God's country. Looking forward to pictures of your work.

Does "old Buick" mean "big tail fins"?
-
I like "A" the best and then I print on a pastel which is just a little darker than "C". It really lets me follow the line I want better and the blade or kerf does not get lost in the pattern and the light I use does not cause reflection like can happen printing on white paper. If I have a black pattern I will generally use the printer settings to lighten it to a medium to dark grey.

Larry Buy the tool it is much better than the struggle http://www.modularhose.com/Loc-Line-14-System/14-miscellaneous If you are trying to put the nipple on the end, it is no problem. If you are trying to connect the entire hose to the metal fitting you may have to take the metal fitting off the saw to use the tool. Some folks have used hot water, some folks have used a heat gun but the tool works best.
