Computer questions / OMG!!!!

« on: February 01, 2011, 11:50:37 am »

While I was checking out a link someone had on here......I was hit with a virus from hell.  Something to do with AVG saying I had 20+ "bad things" some of which were critical.  Being the dummy that I am I clicked on the button that said click here to fix.   My regular computer is off being formatted and cleaned up. So in the mean time I am using this little MINIPUTER and I feel like a monkey making love to a baseball.  In other words I won't be real active here for a while.

The Coffee Shop / Free Web site

« on: December 14, 2010, 06:03:14 pm »

My son would like to create a web site so people could see his scroll work.  We have decided it would be better to have two seperate sites since we live so far apart. 
Can anyone suggest the best FREE web site provider for him??

The Coffee Shop / Change of space

« on: November 22, 2010, 09:47:14 am »

I just turned my "studio" (14ft x 24ft) in my house into my work shop.  All visable signs of my musical jesters are now gone. It was pretty heart tugging to see 20 plus years of my life dissappear.

My outside workshop will be a meat prosessing plant for a couple of weeks (which is what it was/is originally).  I am anxious to try out the new quarters to see if I will move everything back out to the shop after the meat is in the freezer or if I will stay in here for the winter.

Brag Forum / First Scroll Saw show

« on: November 07, 2010, 08:51:03 pm »

IT WAS WONDERFUL!! and so much FUN!!! My son and I combined our efforts. We sold twice as much as we HOPED we would.  Best sellers were the puzzles and the Crosses. And the people watching OH MY!!!   I can't believe people left the house looking like they did.  I have done show for years with other products and never get tired of seeing the people.

General Scroll Saw Talk / drilling the holes

« on: October 30, 2010, 10:46:23 am »

On my last project, 3 layers of 1/4 baltic birch, When I drill the holes it pushes the back out a bit so shen I cut it chips off the last layer of the bottom layer between holes if the holes are close together.
dull bit? pushing to fast? bad wood?
