« on: November 03, 2019, 07:44:03 am »
I am looking for a specific designer with the initials HB. I have seen one pattern done by them but haven't been able to locate them.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

General Scroll Saw Talk / clear tape
« on: July 23, 2019, 11:36:23 am »
I would like to testify today. First of all, I think Steve may have been somewhat angry when he designed the rose vase pattern. I just finished cutting the vase and roses in cherry. That is definitely punishment and I have 3 more to do. I did solve one riddle however, as I was cutting the outside. As usual, the cherry was burning pretty badly and all of a sudden I reached a place where I had put some clear tape to help hold the pattern down and the burning ended until I got past the tape. That blade was hot when I reached the tape and it did not burn at all as long as I was cutting through the tape. I am now a believer and will forever be putting a cover of clear tape before cutting.

Thought this was an appropriate title today. Don't think we say this often enough and just want to let Steve know how much he is appreciated. I can't believe that the production of a pattern every day.

General Scroll Saw Talk / replacement knobs
« on: December 05, 2015, 07:31:27 am »
Just watched the video about the new knobs for the saw. I have similar knobs from Seyco that are about the same price and they do not fit over the old knob but replace it with no modification. So far they work great.

Ask Steve a question. / picture post

I have tried to post pics of some of my projects but the site tells me the pic is too large. I have posted the same pic on other sites without any problem. I also have no idea how to change the pic size.

I have recently added Norton Internet Security. My question is, do I also need a separate virus protection?

Just thought I would let you know that I purchased my Rapid Resizer on Ebay some time ago. It was an older version but still does what I wanted to size patterns.

The Coffee Shop / Thanks Steve
« on: January 27, 2014, 10:15:50 am »
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Steve for today's pattern. As a veteran from the early Vietnam and the Cuban missile crisis, I am always moved when someone remembers our service. It sure wasn't that way at the time.

The Coffee Shop / Steve's latest
« on: January 09, 2014, 09:20:18 am »
Steve's latest heart puzzle surely brings back some memories. When I was in high school, the fad was to give your girl a necklace with half a heart and you wore one with the other half. Of course, this was a few years ago or should I say decades?

The Coffee Shop / The little ball
« on: November 16, 2013, 08:34:03 am »
An old cowboy walks into the barbershop for a shave and a haircut
and he tells the barber he can't get all his whiskers off because his
cheeks are wrinkled from age.
The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and tells
the old cowboy to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin.
When he's finished, the old cowboy tells the barber that was the
cleanest shave he's had in years.
But he wanted to know what would have happened if he had
swallowed that little ball.
The barber replied,"Just bring it back in a couple of days
like everyone else does".

General Scroll Saw Talk / Grrrrr!
« on: November 12, 2013, 09:43:01 am »
A good friend stopped by yesterday to let me know that her husband had been to an auction and brought me a box of a bunch of electric clock motors (no hands or nuts to hold the motor in place) and said now you can make a bunch of clocks. I appreciate the thought but it will be more trouble getting the necessary parts and they will expect to see some clocks. Also, these all have the short shaft so will have to be mounted in 1/4" wood. I'm beginning to think it was a mistake to make them a Christmas gift last year as didn't intend to give them ideas.

The Coffee Shop / Aphorisms
« on: May 20, 2013, 09:04:26 am »
Definition of APHORISM
1: a concise statement of a principle
2: a terse formulation of a truth or sentiment : adage
It's not whether you win or lose,
but how you place the blame.
You are not drunk
if you can lie on the floor
without holding on.
We have enough "youth"
How about a fountain of "smart"
The original point and click interface
was a Smith & Wesson.
A Fool and his money can throw one heck of a party
When blondes have more fun, do they know it?
Five days a week my body is a temple.
The other two it's an amusement park.
LEARN FROM YOUR PARENTS' MISTAKES
USE BIRTH CONTROL
Money isn't everything,
but it sure keeps the kids in touch.
Don't Drink and Drive
You might hit a bump and spill something.
If at first you don't succeed
skydiving is not for you
Reality is only an illusion
that occurs due to a lack of alcohol.
We are born naked, wet and hungry.
Then things get worse.
Red meat is not bad for you
Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.
Ninety-nine percent of all lawyers
give the rest a bad name.
Xerox and Wurlitzer will merge
to produce reproductive organs.
Alabama state motto:
At least we're not Mississippi
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NO
MATCH FOR NATURAL STUPIDITY.
The latest survey shows that
three out of four people make
up 75% of the population
"You know why a banana is like a politician?"
"He comes in and first he is green,
then he turns yellow
and then he's rotten."
"I think Congressmen should wear uniforms,
you know, like NASCAR drivers, so we could
identify their corporate sponsors."
The reason Politicians try so
hard to get re-elected is that they
would 'hate' to have to try to make a
living under the laws they've passed.

You can really depend on weather forecasting. Attached show how we got 1-3" of snow overnight.
