The Coffee Shop / share a need for prayer

« on: February 11, 2011, 04:06:31 am »

Hi everybody,

At first I didn't want to bother you people, but maybe it's good to share.
My oldest daughter (20) was very asthmatic and therefor she was in the the hospital from 28-1 to 1-2
after a couple of days home she went to the doctor last Tuesday and he send her to the hospital and she has to stay again.
she still is in the hospital right now......  

So she could need prayer and maybe a nice E-card or message

Mandy's email address is tabon07a@live.nl

General Scroll Saw Talk / hardwood takes time

« on: February 02, 2011, 04:04:23 pm »

I have some hardwood, i think it's Merbau or bankirai and I cut the top and the bottom for a box.
the sides between is from cedar and the total is 1.77" thick.
what is that wood hard. I cut a oval from 5" and did saw for more than 1 hour and I'm about 80% round......

I did cut the pattern in the top which is 1/2" thick and a filigree pattern took me about 3 hours...
I tried different saw in type (normal, reversed, UR, TC) and numbers (#3, #5, #9) it goes so slow.
I made the pieces with my bandsaw which makes some strange noise now.... 

I guess it's the first and last time I cut these tropical hardwood.

did any of you use this hardwood and what is your experience?

Pattern Requests. / valentine box

« on: January 14, 2011, 06:00:20 am »

Hi, I'm almost finished with the 'be mine' heart box from steve and I would make 3 more different boxes for my each of my daugthers.

do you fellow scrollors have other valentine box patterns in the style of the box from Steve?
if not a box pattern maybe just a valentine pattern, a bit 'victorian' style. of which i can make my own box.
