Pattern Requests. / Black bear picture frame

« on: December 03, 2014, 11:50:15 am »

I've been searching for a frame for a 5X7 pix, I hiked part of the Appalachian Trail this summer and need to make 7 frames for a pix I chose.  We had seen a bear "up close and personal" so I wanted that theme.  Since it's a 5X7 the frame will have to be like 8 1/2X11 (paper sized for reference)  Not to be too demanding but I would like maybe a bear on each side and room for a little wording on top or bottom.  Just the silhouette of a bear I think would make the frame too big. I thought it would be simple to find one but haven't had any luck and I can't even begin to make a pattern like that.  Thanks so much if anyone can help.  Pete

Looking forward to breaking  my summer absence and start scrolling again, too hot to scroll in the summer.  Yeah I know I live in Wisconsin but there are so many fish in the Mississippi that  just keep calling me to leave scrolling and keep them company it's hard to ignore their invitation.  Can't wait to join up again Russ I'll be in there.

Does anyone have ideas on the best/cheapest for our woodworking?  I see they are quite pricy but I'm thinking of getting one to have a permanent marker on my projects.  Thanks Pete

I rec?d mine from Daveo but had to leave on vacation, I'll be out of country for a month so will post a pix when I return. It's a great plaque of a scrollsaw and says,"Just follow the line".   

Thanks Daveo,

What, not having one again this year?  The ones I went to seemed well attended.  What gives?

So I'm thinking of celebrating the day with a nice glass of scotch which as everyone knows is aged in WOOD

well I think I will have several, both to celebrate the day and to drown my sorrows, why
well ten days ago I posted out a package to the USA and it quite obviously didn't get there on time, sorry
it had your address on it Peter, maybe it will get there in time for next year

No problem, too bad I didn't know sooner, I'll be passing through Heathrow next month...I could have picked it up.

General Scroll Saw Talk / warping wood with plaques

« on: March 13, 2014, 11:03:58 pm »

I seem to have a problem with warping when I make a plaque mostly when I use 1/2" walnut.  Is this a problem for everyone or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Pete
