General Scroll Saw Talk / Ball Ramp Skill Game

« on: March 11, 2020, 05:49:51 pm »

When built, have you found the pivoting rod to block the first hole at the top?  Wondering if I am not building it correctly.  I could move the hole over 3/16"; jsut wondering if I am misinterpreting the drawings.

Plan on using it at our street 4th of July party for the kids or brave adult.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Coin Forstner bits

« on: July 31, 2015, 06:14:44 pm »

I like the idea in Steve's latest project of including a coin using a specifically sized Forstner bit.  Rather than buying the whole set, I would like to buy just the ones I want; does anyone have the bit size needed each of the coins?

General Scroll Saw Talk / KRYLON - TRIPLE THICK

« on: November 18, 2014, 12:14:52 pm »

The missing Krylon Triple thick spray on?  I have used Krylon triple thick crystal clear glaze for about 10 years, but recently I have been unable to find in any of the usual stores, Michaels, JoAnn's, etc.  I called Krylon and they say they are still making it.  Have any of you who use triple thick noticed this product to be hard to find?  Where have you been able buy it?  Is there an easy spray on substitute?

My Delta 350 bench model has given up the ghost and I am looking to replace it.  I am seriously considering the Jet 12" (a bench model) and have read the reviews, although have not actually tried it at the store yet.  Any warnings I should be aware of?  Any help would be appreciated!!

I have heard that a solution of vinegar and salt will turn nails rusty and old looking; does this work?  If so does any one have any experience using this method?  Any suggestion as to what the best ration of salt and vinegar?

I am looking for recommendations of where to buy (online) "good 2 sided" 1/16" Baltic Birch.  I have purchased BB from Sloan's and have been satisfied, but they no longer sell BB in that size, only Finish Birch (no explanation if it is good 1 or 2 sides) aircraft grade.  Your help will be greatly appreciated!

General Scroll Saw Talk / 1/16" Baltic Birch

« on: September 08, 2011, 01:19:04 pm »

I have been seaching the postings for "thin" B&B, but I can not find anything related to 1/16" B&B.  Sloan's is out and I am trying to find an other source for my Chirstmas gifts.

 I have been making the Business Card Holder Steve published a few weeks ago using 1/16" B&B for the back.  None of the ones I have found in the postings sell anything less than 1/8"

Any suggestions?

« on: August 19, 2011, 11:00:52 pm »

Does any one have any suggestions as to where I can find the small rare earth magnets or for that matter any small magnets that can be used for box lids? SMALL, I mean 1/8" diameter; such as you would find in those unfinished boxes sold at "Michaels" or other box craft stores. 

Thank you for your help!

I am looking for a pattern for an African Violet or any other Gesneriad flower/plant.  Either as flat/fret work or as intarsia/segmentation, or even 3D scrolling.  It could be a puzzle or an other format.

I have started looking on the internet also.

Any help would be appreciated.

General Scroll Saw Talk / LAZER SNOW FLAKES

« on: November 19, 2010, 10:45:37 pm »

Boy how does one compete with $1.99 for a 2-3 inch (16th" thick) snow flake at a highend supermaket?  They also sell 4-5" for $3.  I like making snow flakes for family and friends, but when I saw them, I went geez, what's the use.  I do not sell any of my stuff, but it got me thinking about the scrollers that do.
