General Scroll Saw Talk / Securing Patterns to wood blanks.... :+}

« on: July 06, 2013, 05:07:27 pm »

I say its....Live n Learn....  Been Scrolling for around 7 years now.  I have cut
Hundreds of patterns.  Expect for using carbon paper at the very beginning and
then going into various glues to secure the pattern and as of the last 5 years or
so have always swore by using the painters tape.  Probably went thru a dozen
or more rolls.   Well....All of a sudden I started thinking about how dgman does
it mostly.  Gave it a try and was VERY HAPPY with the RESULTS.  I cut these
Santas Elf's Ornaments and basically all I did was use SPRAY GLUE on the back
of the pattern and slap it onto the wood blank.  Stacked cut 4 up using 1/8 BB.
Was WORRIED the first one that the pattern might start lifting off the wood, but
held on till the end.  Gave the piece with the pattern on it a couple sprays of
Spirits (put some in a spray bottle) and after MAYBE ONE MINUTE the pattern
ALMOST fell of the wood.  Cool.  Yea!  Gave the wood blank a couple more sprays
and just wiped off the glue residue left over.  PIECE OF CAKE.  I decided to give
one of my cabinet doors some decoration.  See Picture...........Anyway....

I look very much forward to reading any and ALL remarks to this.  Danny  :+}

Not sure thats the correct spelling for them PESKY lil critters, but I ran across a

Sure fire way to GET RID OF THEM....  Every year this time we get bothered by
them right n left and especially when eating.  Anyway....  MIX  in small jar OR?
WITH A LID.  A few drops of regular dish washing liquid with APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
I use a small jar with approx. 1/3 cup vinegar...............

Drill lots of tiny holes in the lid and set it ANYWHEREs....  We have been using this
method for a month and HEY MIRACLES DO HAPPEN.  HASN'T BEEN A ONE THAT
HAS BUZZED AROUND MY FACE SINCE THEN.    Anyway....  Danny  :+}

Brag Forum / Basswood Project Up-date.... :+}

« on: June 26, 2013, 07:49:44 pm »

Just want to say that I LEARNED A THING OR TWO....  This is the way that this
project came out.  It only has the 50/50 couple of coats.  This Basswood sucks
it up.  Over-all I want to say Thanks to DUSTIN for your Funny post towards my
giving up.  Made me think.  Was not EASY cutting the very end letters when I
had 14 INCHES of the wood pushing into the belly.  Had to suck it in some.  LOL
The FINE DUST is Awful, but rigging a Fan Blowing and a Fan Sucking worked like
a CHARM.  Anyway I am as always wanting to read what you all think.  Danny  :+}

General Scroll Saw Talk / UPDATE ON USING THE BASSWOOD.... :+(

« on: June 22, 2013, 05:47:32 pm »

Well for those that have posted to my earlier post I just want to say that I got to the
point after cutting say 7 areas.  It is a very DUSTY sawdust.  Not good for cutting
with only a couple fans.  Way to much of a mess!  The blank was 10 X 15 OVAL.  Not exactly on the easy side to control cutting.  I say the 7 areas could get by, but just
not my Quality, so I QUIT.  Yep!  Shelfed it for MAYBE later.  Danny  :+}

General Scroll Saw Talk / Need advice concerning BASSWOOD.... :+}

« on: June 21, 2013, 04:25:44 pm »

Hello to All....  Ran across a 1/2" slice from I guess a TREE.  Had the bark still
                      intact (altho some of it has fell off)  Price wasn't bad, so bought it.
Question....Has anyone cut this for any type of craft?  If so could you say any
                 Pros or Cons about it.  Have a idea of another Bible verse.  
Oh yea....  Its in my Subject line, but the wood was labeled ....BASSWOOD....

Looked at this pattern for some time before deciding to do it.  Was a lot of very
skinny lines, but as I got into it I started to get confidence and as you can see I
feel it came out OK.  Of course comments are always welcome.  Danny  :+}
