Interesting thought!  That's the kind of ideas I'm looking for.  I'm anxious to see what others think.  Thanks for the idea.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Looking for Project Ideas

« on: July 31, 2017, 09:50:31 am »

While camping in CO I came upon a spruce tree that had broken off and left a large splinter of trunk sticking up in the air.  It looked very interesting and made me think it could be the source for some kind of project.  So I cut it off and brought it home.  The section is 36" tall, the main section is 24" tall by 10 inches wide and about 2 1/2" to 3" thick.

My question is:  if you had this chunk of spruce, what would you do with it??  I'm rolling some things around in my head, but I know there are some "outside the box" creative thinkers here that have some great ideas.  So let me know what you think.

Jerry1939 - I'm very disgusted with your remark.  You - a veteran - encouraging someone to fraudulently take advantage of a veteran discount at Lowe's.  I just saw a story on Good Morning America talking about "Stolen Valor".  This is exactly what you are encouraging.  This kind of activity is what does away with businesses good will for all kinds of good benefits - veterans, disabled, etc.

At first I was going to let it go, but I just couldn't.  Dornellas - I encourage you to ignore his advice and do the honrable thing!

BTW - I'm not a veteran, but extremely grateful for those who serve, served and those that paid the ultimate price for the freedoms I enjoy today.  I am proud to say my son-in-law is a current member of the US Air Force.

Looks like y'all haven't had any more success finding a caribou than I have!

That's a caribou!  Now for something with more detail and some scenery around it.  (I guess I should have been more specific in my original request.)

Thanks!

I have been looking for a caribou pattern to cut for a friend who got to go caribou hunting and brought home a cow and a bull.  His bull, appropriately named "Bou", is hanging in his living room.  I have done several cuttings for him over the years and would like to do a caribou, but haven't been able to find one.  Anybody???

Thanks in advance for the help!

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Sooo, How Does One Learn How

I have the Inkscape tutorial that Scrollzilla had posted on a closed forum where many of us were members.  I would be glad to get that posted, but I'll need some suggestions.  The compressed folder size is 155MB - much too large to send in an email or post here.  Any ideas of how and where to upload to make available to others?

Scrollzilla had posted these graphics and videos and made available for free so I'm sure there would be no problem in reposting them somewhere.

Thanks for the kind words!  DW - it is the craft water based cheap paint from Wal-Mart (50 cents/bottle).  Some of it is really watered down to allow the grain to come through.

I just saw this thread - don't know how I missed it earlier.  The OK design is an original design and I would be glad to share it.  But......my computer crashed last week and I have a new one arriving today.  If I'm able to retrieve files off my old hard drive, I can post the design.  If not....gone forever!  I keep good backups, but my last backup was before I created that design.So we'll see.  I'll let you know.

Thanks for the kind comments.  I was disappointed with the lettering, but everything else turned out how I wanted.

I just completed this one.  The pictures are of the new one pre and post painting.  The other picture is of the one I made for my wife over 20 years ago.  We hadn't realized how much it had faded and browned with age till we had the new one by it's side!

The Coffee Shop / Ornament Exchange???????

« on: December 02, 2013, 11:18:24 pm »

I'm confused.  I entered the exchange for the first time this year.  I received a name and sent ornaments.  I received an ornament from the person that received my name.  But last week, I received two more ornaments in the mail.  Any ideas what's going on?

Ken

P.S. - I'll post pictures of my new arrivals later.
