Pattern Requests. / Spiral Apple

« on: October 03, 2010, 06:05:57 pm »

Hey guys,  I can't find my pattern for a spiral bowl shaped like an apple.  I've got one, I made several but just cannot find the pattern.  Now I've got a request and no pattern.  Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?  I cannot remember if I got it out of a book or not.  Any help would be appreciated...Thanks...julie

General Scroll Saw Talk / Help - sheets of laminent

« on: September 29, 2010, 08:07:17 pm »

My neighbor just pulled up with a rack that holds 4 X 8 sheets of laminent about half full.  The rack is 4 1/2 feet X 8 1/2 feet X 3 1/2 feet tall and has slots for 15 different styles of laminent.  There is a ton of it by scrollsaw standards.  I have no idea what to do with it.  Suggestions???  If I take it, what on earth am I going to make out of it.  The sheets are a little over 1/16" thick.  Some look like countertop and many look like wood grain.  Really pretty, but what whould you do with it?

I'm still laughing at Steve's photo with Gremlin.  Very sorry about the connection but it was worth it to see his photo and explaination.  He's very lucky his cable guy will be out Monday - Last time I needed a tech it took three weeks!

General Scroll Saw Talk / Looking for the right Planer

« on: September 12, 2010, 08:23:56 am »

I have been looking at planers for a while and am having difficulty finding one that will plane down to 1/4 or 1/8.  The guy that planes my boards has one that the specs say 5/16 but he has no problem going smaller.  What do you use and how thin will it go.  Also, need to know the minimum stock length.

General Scroll Saw Talk / posting help

« on: August 05, 2010, 03:16:42 pm »

I am obviously computer challenged.  I can't seem to post any pictures w/ comentary.  I have been a member since the beginning and cannot post a picture.  The forum always comes back with the message "the file is too big".  I know one picture and a short comment should go through.  I see everyone else posting multiple pictures and long commentary and it works for them.  What the Heck am I doing wrong?

Every time I try to post a picture and comment - it tells me my file is too big.  I know others post multiple pics and comments much larger than what I'm trying to do.  What am I doing wrong?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Pattern Instructions

« on: July 21, 2010, 07:45:06 am »

Sheila replied to Becky on welcome to the nut house post about her instructions.  Personally, I find the instructions to Sheila's patterns a welcome addition.  Whether you are a beginner or advanced scroller, knowing what the artist had in mind or the methodology used in creating a piece is invaluable.  I often use these instructions on a step by step basis the first time I cut a pattern to insure the proper results.  Then modify my method accordingly.

Sheila's instruction are, in fact, step-by-step.  From the basics of sanding both sides of the board to the method of assembly and finishing.  She also provides her phone # and web address on her patterns if you have any questions.  I have cut many of  her patterns and highly recommend her work.

Thanks for the projects Sheila - keep 'em coming.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Little trees, Little trees

« on: July 21, 2010, 07:24:33 am »

For Sheila, Cherie and any one else who has cut Sheila's Arrow Head Ornaments.  I have cut many of these ornaments and just cannot throw out the "Little trees" left over from the center of the arrowhead.  I have a gallon ice cream bucket full of little trees.  I have been trying to come up with different things to do with the little trees and just have not been able to come up with a great project to use them for.  My bucket runneth over!  Any suggestions?
