i'M MAKING A BELATED BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR THE BOSS.
Oops sorry agout the yelling. Since she is quilting about 12 hours a day, and hangs out with a bunch of her other quilter buddies, I think she'll appreciate it , who knows some of them might want one too, can make enough to buy some good wood maybe. Quen Sabe?
It's One of Grampas designs and I converted it from a silouette to a line drawing to save on the bleep expensive ink bleep!! ;D ;D I'm also hoping it will be a little easier to see what I'm doing.
I'll keep y'all posted. even if it bores you to tears. LOL Any typos are the result of taking my sleeping pill and then staying up doing this foolishness....
Gabby
Thanks Grampa!

Hey Gabby, How do you go about changing the original pattern to a line drawing?
I cut that pattern a while ago. I stack cut four layers of 1/8" Baltic birch plywood. Used red oak plywood for a backer and made the frames from Alder.
Good luck on yours!

I'm not sure how Gabby does his but the way I do mine Dan is put it in Paint and change wipe out all of the black with the paint can (white color choosen). As I said I don't know how Gabby does his but this way works for me and if there is white they may be erased when I do it I choose the grey On my printer it comes out white..
-
I grabbed a copy of that and will cut it from 1/4" BB and use a piece of fabric glued to the backer.
My 'Lady Friend' is a 'sewer' and she will love this!

I use Paint.NET and it works easy there is a pull down in "Effects" that will change it to a pencil drawing or a pen and ink drawing with just a couple of clicks. Beats erasing all the fill with a paint brush or eraser. I do use those for some photos or pictures from time to time. I like this program as most of its functions are straight forward and don't require hours of reading to use. I haven't used all of it's resources and it is capable to do more than I have taken the time to learn.
I started cutting it today and I have to be patient that oak is tough and slow going!

Slowcutter doesn't have a thing on me. about 7 hours total time including breaks every 15 minutes or so, damn leg gets to hurting too much.
Got the word "fabric's" and the part by the wheel cut. At this rate with honey do's thrown in maybe done in another month. LOL

Seems to me Gabby that with all the problems you have it may be a good idea to sell the saw, buy a Sewing Machine and start Quilting Lol Iggy.
-
Oh NO! Iggy,
The Boss is a master at that, at least she doesn't know anything about the saw and I'm not going to teach her either.
I saw what teaching her to shoot could do, damn fine instructor (me), and great student (her), can't hit crap with a long gun but a hand gun is a different story! Poor Darlin' is right handed and left eye dominant!
Like yours mine is a GOOD cook. ;D
Gabby
-
If she is such a good cook, why are you trying to shoot her??? may be, she wants to put some old tins on the fence and have you stand behind them while shooting at them.!!!

Iggy have another cup of Tea or Coffee, you're not awake...
I TAUGHT her to shoot, not trying to shoot her.
Way too good a cook for that!

Yesterday got 2 more words "ARE and LIKE" cut along with the section across the top.
I discovered a problem and I'm not exactly sure what causes it.
I usually stop feeding when I come to a corner to let the blade catch up, but I had a couple of places where the bottom of the blade wouldn't cut square. I eventually turned the wood over and was able to get those slivers that remained. It seems like the top of the blade gets to the corner before the bottom does no matter if I let everything equalize at the end of the cut. It is as though the blade is cutting at an angle from top to bottom front to back. NOT sideways, I double checked that, table and blade are square.
Is there an adjustment on the delta saw for something like that?
Thanks,
Gabby
-
A possible answer to my kerf problem, I think I will attach the blade a little more to the front of the bottom blade holder and see if that solves my problem.

I saw a reference to this in an older post by one of the other members, and now I can't remember who it was. A thank you is in order! "Who was that masked man?"
