Title: Cut this one Friday sold it On Saturday..
Post by: dunk on September 06, 2010, 11:09:26 am
Saw this pattern lying on the pile of to do stuff on Friday morning & thunk to myself.  I really like this.  S I cut it out and finished it.  Placed it on the shelf in my booth for Sat mkt and another vendor was walking by and stopped for a chit chat and saw it and purchased it on the spot before the mkt even opened...

With my fat fingers it was a bit tricky to cut...

I sold mine for $25.00.  Yes it stands unassisted.
Dalespuzzles.com has the pattern available.  He has 3 different ones so drop him a note and tell him you are looking for the one with the flower.
 
Thanks for the nice remarks, makes one feel better about their work when folks of your cutting caliber say I did good.

There is a pattern in the Big Book of Scroll Saw Woodworking on page 30 almost the same by Judy Peterson.  It does not have the word hummer on it.

That is the same one just modified.

You may be leaving money on the table by not asking what people are willing to pay.

When I have a piece in demand - I up the price a bit.  Because the bird is suspended - that piece is a curiosity to your buyers.  It is worth more.

I just ordered the pattern... I thought it would show up in my email or on the screen.  How do I get it?
Title: Re: Cut this one Friday sold it On Saturday..

You will either get a confirmation e-mail with a link to download it.
Possibly, once you pay you can view your cart and download immediately.  I'd sign back in and check your cart.  If that does not work drop Dale a line he has changed his site recently and I do not know all the ins and outs.

@julief,
How much do you get for yours?

@ChaplainRon,
I'm already selling them at $25.  I hate to raise it to $30 or $35 and not have any sales and then have to lower it back.   I really dislike lowering prices, it looks desperate.
Title: Re: Cut this one Friday sold it On Saturday..
Post by: northie66 on September 12, 2010, 05:45:42 pm
I emailed him.  For some reason the download had an expiration date of 1969!  hahaha!  So anyway, he emailed me it.

I forget dunk... what blade do you use to cut these puzzles?

@dunk - I think $25 is good.

Janet,
I use a #5 fdur.  That's a flying dutchman ultra reverse.  Looking forward to your pic!  Just take your time, you will do awesome!

Glad you got it worked out.
Title: Re: Cut this one Friday sold it On Saturday..
Post by: northie66 on September 12, 2010, 06:44:14 pm
I wound up using a #7 UR.  I couldn't seem to get the 5 under control.

Anyway, the project turned out good... I'll post it when I'm done.  It's raining out so I can't clear coat it yet.

Good for you.  What wood did you decide on?
I told you that you could do it!!!!!
Title: Re: Cut this one Friday sold it On Saturday..

It's oak. I think that's why I'm having trouble. I'm used to cutting poplar.

Janet slow your saw speed down

Yes slow down the speed of your saw and your feed rate.  Oak is not a good choice for these intricate patterns, too much grain.  The grain has a tendency to grab the blade and lead the blade astray.
