General Scroll Saw Talk / masking tape vs painters tape

« on: January 14, 2011, 09:43:35 pm »

Has anyone ever tried masking tape in place of blue painters tape, I've noticed it's cheaper but wonder if the glue will stick as good as it does to the painters tape?

The Coffee Shop / Soooo...how do you celebrate New Years...

« on: December 31, 2010, 01:42:21 pm »

I have a close friend with a band that plays big band music every New Years usually a hotel/dance combination, We usually go where he is playing but because of icy, crappy weather we are staying in and cooking up a prime rib roast, maybe a martini before and a nice glass of Pinot Noir to wash it down. Happy New Years all!!!  Pete

I built this camper from a picture.  In the catalog it was $300.  The only scroll work is the faucet and showerhead.  Hope my granddaughter likes it!

General Scroll Saw Talk / breaking blades

« on: December 06, 2010, 06:27:18 pm »

For some reason I'm breaking blades right at the bottom hold down, am I tightening them too much? They're FD so I'm sure it isn't the blades, I'm using #3 cutting 1/4" plywood

Ask Steve a question. / loading pictures

« on: December 04, 2010, 05:03:02 pm »

Hi Steve,  I found your video on loading pictures great but you said there would be one to follow to instruct how to upload a picture that is too large, I am trying to load some pictures but repeatedly get the too large message. These pictures are just in my computer not on Picasa.  Thanks Pete

It isn't enough we get ads on tv, radio, at the door, in the mail, on the side of the road etc...but here on the scrollsaw workshop is going too far - I had an ad for my local congressman in the daily posts section today

General Scroll Saw Talk / Walnut logs

« on: September 21, 2010, 09:03:50 pm »

I have several walnut logs (cut to 3' lengths) can I do anything with them, or is it too late, about a year old some splitting on the ends has happened, I don't have a planer but I could cut them and save them for planing later. I'm thinking more for the round relief not boards.
