The Coffee Shop / I'm Shocked

« on: June 12, 2010, 07:21:11 pm »

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!!! do you hear.

First, after I asked so nicely, for you females not to read my post.  It was only a test, but I asked.  Now, What to do?  What to do?

As most of you know I am an adjunct professor at our local community college.  I teach a graduate course called :"Understanding Women 101."  As part of my class, and at considerable personal sacrifice, I did the below diagram, Understanding Women.  That's me at the front.

You people have just voided all my research.  Now I have to start over.  

Woe is me.

Oh well, here is the old, and outdated diagram on how to understand women.  Stay tuned for the updated version.

Thanks a lot ladies.  NOT

The Coffee Shop / Marital Humor

« on: June 09, 2010, 09:23:46 am »

John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully. 'Give me one last request, dear,'he said.
'Of course, John,' his wife said softly.
'Six months after I die,' he said, 'I want you to marry Bob.'
'But I thought you hated Bob,' she said.
With his last breath John said, 'I do!'


------------ --------- --------- --------
A man goes to see the Rabbi.. 'Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it.'
The Rabbi asked, 'What's wrong?'
The man replied, 'My wife is poisoning me.'
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, 'How can that be?'
The man then pleads, 'I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?'
The Rabbi then offers, 'Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know.'
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?'
The man said yes and the Rabbi replied, 'Take the poison'

Brag Forum / The Maze

« on: April 20, 2010, 10:59:34 am »

I posted this on a couple of other forums, so some of you may have already seen it.  Not sure if this goes here.  Steve, move it where it goes please.

What is it you ask?  I call it ?The Maze?.  Toyed with other titles such as ?Geometric Delight?, ?Geometric Shapes?, etc.  All sounded, as Dave Barry would say, like the name of a rock band.  Hence, The Maze. Got the idea from New Day pattern done by Sue Chrestensen at Chrestensen Burghout Designs and Plaquerd?s cutting of it.

http://www.scrollsawer.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/4852/ppuser/6373
 
 I may cut that one also.  

The Maze may not be my most challenging project, but it?s in the top 3.  The next time, it will be different.  Maybe as a true intarsia cutting.  Maybe a sand inlay.  Stay tuned.

My question is what type of scrolling is this?  Is it fretwork? I don?t think so, although the circle that was cut could loosely be interpreted as that.  How about inlay or marquetry?  Well there is some enhanced veneering.  How about intarsia?   For sure, there is some shaping and layering.

Again, what do you call this type of scrolling?  How about modern painting with wood?

Wood species include spanish cedar, padauk, cherry, oak, mahogany, black walnut, walnut, spalted maple, teak, aspen, Purple heart, and chesnut.  The laminated piece is Oak, Cherry, Padauk, and Purple Heart (bottom to top).  There is a special prize for any one guesses what I used for the seams.  Size is 18? square, finished with Deft.

So folks, here it is.
 
?The Maze?

For want of a better place I posted the pic of my cutting in general scroll saw.  Saw a place for intarsia.  Where does one post their works?  Is there a bragging forum I have missed?

Introduce Yourself. / Chase Intro

« on: April 19, 2010, 12:12:33 pm »

Chase, a native West Virginian and military retiree (Army aviator) has been a woodworker hobbyist for over 40 years. Originally specializing in marquetry (inlaying different woods to craft pictures), Chase became interested in designing scroll saw portraits of people, pets, and NASCAR drivers and schwibbogens (a lighted arch that is a traditional German Christmas decoration). Chase will tell you he is 10% artisan and 90% craftsman. Others will argue the ratio is closer to 50/50. He has received accolades from customers, contemporaries, and critics.

General Scroll Saw Talk / It Is What It Is Cutting

It Is What It Is

Our oldest son, (53 years old, we were 8 when we had him) is always saying, ?It Is What It Is? so I decided to make him this desk plate.

Its 11? long by 3? high.  Steve Good Pattern made out of Chestnut, finished in Deft.

As always, comments welcome.
