The Coffee Shop / Re: printer

« on: March 26, 2024, 07:40:38 pm »

Greetings, I realize this is an old post but, I do not log in very often now due to eye surgery and eye strain.
These printers advertise that they will enlarge and reduce as you wanted.

Most people on the scrollsaw sites that I view all recommend a free program called Rapid Resizer
Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse

The Coffee Shop / Prayers and eye surgery

« on: January 29, 2023, 08:13:09 pm »

I thank everyone for all the prayers and well wishes.
So far, the surgery on my left eye has improved much
moree quickly than the right eye did, Unfortunately, the
clarity in both eyes leaves a lot to bd desired and I regert having
these surgerys.
I hve been without my glasses since late September or early
October and am dealing with daily head-aches and dizziness.
Hopefully I can get new glasses soon and make a lot of difference
in my life.
God Bless1 Spirithorse

The Coffee Shop / Prayers please

« on: January 15, 2023, 11:53:38 pm »

Greetings, Guys and Gals!
I have not been active lately because I had eye surgery on my right eye and a medical procedure on my left eye (Holes in the eye to relieve pressure).

On January 18th I go in to have cataracts removed, a prosthetic lens inserted, and a donor corneal transplant on the left eye which is what I have already
had done to the right eye. The right eye rejected the corneal transplant and had to be done again. It is still not healed completely but, is progressing.
I have not been able to wear prescription lenses since October 5th of 2022. Thus, lots of head-aches, dizziness, only very short drives in the day-time
on familiar roads, very limited in activities such as scrolling, and lots of frustration because I cannot read and cannot see well.

So, I am begging for lots of prayers for my health and a quick and successful recovery from surgery with hopes I can be fitted with glasses and get back to a somewhat normal
life within the next three months or so.

This surgeon is very highly rated but, it seems strange that he uses few stitches and instead puts a bubble of air to hold everything in place so, for the first 24 hours
after surgery I have to lie flat on my back with no head support and try to keep that bubble centered as if it was a carpenter's level. Of course, I am allowed to get up
to use the restroom and eat but he wants those times limited to 15 minutes and as few as possible. If everything looks good at a follow up visit to the surgeon the next day,
for the next two days after that, I am supposed to lie flat for two hours at a time with about 15 minutes at a time to eat or stretch and then back to bed.

Your prayers would be greatly appreciated and I hope to become active on the forum again as soon as possible to see what kind of great projects I have been missing.

Thank you and God Bless! Spirithorse

Introduce Yourself. / Re: New member

« on: April 25, 2022, 08:12:52 pm »

Welcome to the forum, Garry and thank you for such a good introduction.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your projects.
The problem with the up-load is probably a simple matter of a file that is too large.

This is what I found thus far about up-loading images here.

There are two different ways to post a picture. You can use the insert image tag or upload the picture as an attachment.
The insert image tag has no size restrictions but the image must be hosted on your domain of a photo sharing site.
The attachment has a file size limit of 128K and will be hosted on my server.
God Bless! Spirithorse

The Coffee Shop / Steve's balancing projects

« on: March 14, 2022, 09:28:45 pm »

I thought I'd do two quick and easy projects from
Steve's recently posted balancing projects.
I took a 17 second video of the skateboarder but, the video ended up
being 43 MB! He does twirl around the base pretty well.
The balancing bird was really quick to cut but, I had to add two
blocks of 1/4" thick wood about 1/4" square near the tips of the wings
to make it balance close to level.
Has anyone else tried these projects?
Thanks for looking and God Bless! Spirithorse

Pattern Requests. / Re: Spiderman Pattern

« on: January 19, 2022, 09:58:07 pm »

Spiderman is probably copyrighted and patterns may be hard to come by.
You can, however, find Spiderman stencils on the internet that will fork for scroll saws.
