I really like your work, Brian! Looking forward to seeing more! Have had Harleys since '72 until just a couple of years ago. Had my own shop called the Hawg Pen for a few years.

Did you try sloanswoodshop.com ? They also have the best birch ply available. I have dealt with them for many years, and never a complaint! I use both brands.

Harbor Freight also has their airbrush compressors on sale. One is $65, and the other is $85, but includes an airbrush . Very quiet, and you can use the airbrush to blow the dust off, or apply a finish. Has a moisture filter built on. You can also use a 20% off coupon to save a few more bucks. It is really quiet. Just a suggestion that works for me really well.

I use the UR #3's on those birdhouses. Danny, do you have a Home Depot near? They carry 2"x2" Cedar. That's what I use. Cuts, and finishes much nicer that Poplar. My opinion, anyhow. LOL! But, be sure to wear a mask. Cedar is bad for the lungs. I use the fan/filter set-up, a mask, and use the shop vac after cutting.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Finishing: Shellac and Alcohol Mix

« on: September 24, 2013, 04:48:22 am »

I buy an empty paint quart can from Lowes for $2.50 a can. Comes with a lid. I had a little accident with a glass container once. My drying rack is a piece of 2" x 2" x 4', with nails about 2" apart. Then I use paper clips, with one end bent outwards a bit to hang the pieces on. I suspend the rack from a joist in the garage with 2 pieces of clothesline rope from 2 long nails. After I'm done drying, I lay the 2" x 2" across the nails 'til I need it again. No need to untie or store it someplace else. I have been using the 50/50 mix. Now, I am going to try adding the poly. Great idea! Thanks for the tip!

I just bought the #95607 HF lathe. It's a smaller lathe. For pen/light duty turning, works great. I also have a large old Craftsman lathe, but it's out in the garage. Just way too cold to work out there! LOL!

You could also try posting a notice at your local Woodcraft store. It has helped my club, N. E. Ohio Scrollers. The store is in Sterling Hts. according to the Woodcraft site.

You can also try flickr.com It's a site I have used for a few years. It's owned by yahoo.com. All you need is a free yahoo e-mail account. You have a choice of sharing/not sharing your photos. I have all of my patterns on there instead of my hard drive.
