Anyone know what became of scrollsawvillage.com/forum, seems to no longer exist.
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.

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Inkscape Question?
« on: May 15, 2015, 12:23:20 pm »
Question for you Inkscape users. When you join 2 or more objects as one (I think it is called welding), can it be un-joined or un-welded? I have been skimming thru Travis's videos but did not find this, if it is in one of his lessons maybe someone could mention which lesson.
TIA, Bob

The Coffee Shop / The Will!
« on: March 02, 2015, 07:49:50 am »
Doug Smith is on his deathbed and knows the end is near.
His nurse, his wife, his daughter and two sons are with
him.
He asks for 2 witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in
place to record his last wishes, and when all is ready he
begins to speak:
My son, "Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair
houses."
My daughter "Sybil, you take the apartments over in the
east end."
My son, "Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in
the City Centre."
"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential
buildings on the banks of the river."
The nurse and witnesses are blown away as they did not
realize his extensive holdings, and as Doug slips away, the
nurse says, "Mrs. Smith, your husband must have been
such a hard-working man to have accumulated all this
property".
Sarah replies, "Property ? ... the old fool has a paper
route!"

General Scroll Saw Talk / ROS
« on: February 28, 2015, 07:04:55 pm »
I have a 1/4 sheet palm sander and wondering about a 5" random orbital sander. Is there any advantage to a ROS over a 1/4 sheet palm sander? Would a ROS be any more agressive than a 1/4 sheet palm sander using the same grit sand paper? A 1/4 sheet palm sander has the advantage of being able to use a 1/4 sheey of sand paper or a roll of 4 1/2" of paper cut to 5 1/2" long, where a ROS needs the 5" round disc with hook/loop fasteners. Just wondering if I would gain anything getting a ROS since I already have 2 of the 1/4 sheet palm sanders.

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Brass gauge setup blocks?
« on: January 07, 2015, 06:16:28 pm »
Does not really apply to scroll sawing but does anyone know where I could find a set of brass gauge setup blocks that start at 1/16" & up, all the ones I find start at 1/8" and up. If I could find a 1/16" I could add it to the sets I found. Anyone know where I can find such a animal?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Plastic sheet??
« on: December 12, 2014, 09:45:34 am »
I want to cut a new sub-base plate for my Dewalt router out of plastic sheet about 1/4" thick, what would be the best to cut on the scroll saw? Acrylic, Lexan or what. I would prefer something I can find easily like at a big box store in small quantities. Any experienced help and advice out there.

Trying to find a pattern for a Dutch Oven or to make a pattern from this picture. DW and I belong to a Dutch Oven Cooking club and I want to make a sign to put at our position when we gather to cook (DOG).
I would love to cut either one of these to put on our table.

The Coffee Shop / Governmentium
« on: September 14, 2014, 12:24:22 pm »
The CSIRO has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element is Governmentium (Gv). It has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction normally taking less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 - 6 years. It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
