Brag Forum / Bunny Train
« on: April 17, 2011, 11:21:14 pm »
I made this for my wife to take to her office. The pattern was courtesy of our friends at http://www.toymakerpress.com/. I decided to make only the cars and bunnies and used all scrap wood and paints already on hand.

General Scroll Saw Talk / copy-writes again: just an observation
« on: February 14, 2011, 10:00:11 am »
I know the topic has been hashed and re-hashed, and I know the legal answers, etc. I visited the Florida State Fair yesterday and in the crafts for sale sections, couldn't help but notice the number of products for sale in obvious conflict with copywrites. I can't imagine how they get away with it. There were wall signs with phrases and images from Disney, multiple versions of "It's 5 oclock somewhere", and many others. If they were for sale on the internet they would be slammed in no time. One of the vendors with the most numerous conflicts was the same vendor I observed at last year's fair, so they must still be getting away with it. I guess in that small arena they keep doing it until they get that cease & desist letter.

I just love doing these quickie cutouts. They are nothing special, but people really seem to like them.

The Coffee Shop / Gloat
« on: January 16, 2011, 11:38:27 pm »
Not really too scroll saw oriented (although some of it will go that way), but I have to gloat. I am so so happy! I have been looking for a new planer and wanted something bigger and more industrial than a portable unit. I found a Powermatic 15" with a helical cutterhead on craigslist in almost new shape and picked it up for $600. When I got there I was also able to make an unbelievable deal on an incredible amount of hardwood. Mostly rough cut 4/ cherry, oak, curly & birdseye maple, and poplar. there was a little 8/4 also. It was so cheap I am embarrassed to reveal how much. Suffice to say I won't be needing any wood for a long time. I don't intend this as bragging, just great luck and excitement!

This is not mine, but I own the same model. Could be a real deal for someone.

Brag Forum / My Christmas gifts
« on: December 17, 2010, 01:14:01 am »
Since GB set the precedent, I thought I'd post a pic of some of the gifts I shipped out. They aren't made with the scrollsaw, but the scrollsaw was used in making the templates.

Brag Forum / Not much scroll work but something new
« on: October 27, 2010, 10:04:58 pm »
Got this idea from a clock in a gift catalog and decided to use the concept to create my own out of 3 inch think maple. Made it sort of like a bandsaw box. The only scroll work is the accents on the front, but I really like it so I thought I would post it here.

The Coffee Shop / pc question regarding the forum
« on: July 29, 2010, 12:41:41 am »
I have this forum marked as a favorite on at least 3 computers. My main pc died this weekend, and I replaced it. Great machine, but for some reason when I click on "show unread posts since last visit", I see zero posts, even though when I go to the home page there are boards with unread topics. This is the only pc that does that even though they are all using the same login info and the same browser. The only obvious difference is that the others run on xp and this one is on windows 7. I can live with it, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Brag Forum / Noah's Ark Mirror set
« on: July 07, 2010, 11:37:38 pm »
This is a mirror and brush set I made for my wife, Carol. The Noah's ark pattern came from one of Sue Mey's projects, which I had to edit with some cutting and pasting to make appropriate for the size and space available. I made a template and used a router to make the recess for the mirror and then cut a maple oval which I resawed to use as a contrasting backing to the scrollsaw work. I used the same method to cut a recess for the head of a brush to set into the accompanying piece. I bought a commercially available brush and cut off the handle, then sanded the back flat and mounted it into the wooded brush. Both pieces are made of Jatoba wood which I found to be very dense and oily.

Pattern Requests. / toy car hauler truck
« on: April 19, 2010, 10:43:13 am »
I have seen a toy truck hauler puzzle made from a 2X4. It is basically a semi with 3 cars which interlock into a puzzle on the trailer. It's pretty simple, but I don't draw, and I'd love to have a pattern for it.

Ask Steve a question. / A comment rather than a question
« on: April 19, 2010, 10:33:53 am »
Steve - You know I have enjoyed your blog for some time now, but I think this forum is the next great thing! You may soon have to forget about your "day" job because you will be kept busy designing, scrolling, and running your web-based enterprises.
I also think it is great that you don't charge for everything you do, and that it is a very minimal charge for the few things you do charge for. I intend to keep the donations coming, and hope that others do as well!
You have added a whole new dimension to scrollsawing and we are indebted to you.
