Brag Forum / Over the Garden Wall
« on: October 02, 2011, 06:56:29 pm »
This is from a pattern by Grampa. The portrait was stack cut, Four layers of 1/8" Baltic birch with a backer board of 1/8" oak plywood stained red Mahogany.
450 inside cuts. Cut with Olsen 2/0R and flying Dutchman NS 2/0 blades.
I built the frame from 5/8" Red Oak. The portrait and backer is glued into the frame, then soaked in a 50/50 Mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. I have not applied a top coat yet as the oil is not dry yet, but I will use Deft semi gloss spray lacquer

The Coffee Shop / You have to read this!
« on: September 23, 2011, 08:59:40 pm »
I ordered some Oak boards for a great price from Woodworkers source in Arizona. Today I got a shipping conformation from them you you just have to read!

I have some great news, Dan.

Our team of 107 hard working (and exceptionally good looking) employees has - with great care and attention - selected, packaged and shipped your order #59486 on this beautiful day.

I really think you'd have enjoyed watching all the action when your order came through. When I handed it to Robert, our master packager, he looked at the order, smiled, pulled out a pair of his favorite Italian leather gloves and slid them onto his hands. "Nothing but the best," he said. And off he went! As he selected your order, he placed it all on a satin-lined chariot to transport it to the packaging center. And there's more . . .

All other 106 crew members stopped. Every last one of them. They gathered around, lit incense and candles, and watched with hushed awe as he wrapped the entire order in the finest gold-laced cardboard and stretch wrap that money can buy. Seriously, you could have heard a pin drop.

In the end, the guys were so thrilled that they wanted to throw a party just for your order. We're talking about a big fiesta with live music, a roasted pig, and a dessert spread of homemade chocolate ganache, Ukranian prune tortes, and cinnamon madeleines. You should have seen the look on the UPS driver's face when he showed up. He thought he was going to pick up the packages as usual, but instead we picked *him* up carried him down the street on our shoulders while the band played. You can imagine what happened next, right? Our neighbors came outside to see what the fuss was all about, and when they saw your beautiful order they joined in, and toasted ol' Robert who then delivered a rather moving speech on the joys of working with wood as a means to self improvement.

Someone must have called the local TV stations because the next thing I knew I had six interviews to handle for reporters who asked, "What does Dan Gallo intend to make?" But don't worry, your secret's safe. I told them, "World peace." Man! If only woodworking could do that!

Anyway, the guys hope to see pictures of what you make so we can have another party (I know what you're thinking). I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at Woodworkers Source. We enjoyed every minute of it, and we've named you "Customer of the Year." That gets you a pretty good parking spot right out front if you ever come see us. So come see us some time.

Okay, okay. You want the info, I'm sure. Your tracking information is below, or you can also get it all by logging into your at account at our website.

After you receive your order, we'd love to know what you think:

The Coffee Shop / Congratulations Russ!

Tony Stewart won the first race in the chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship! I forgot to watch the race because it was rained out yesterday, so it was on today. I know that Tony is Russ's favorite driver, and I root for him also along with other drivers like Dale Earnhardt JR. and Carl Edwards.
Congratulations Russ!

The Coffee Shop / Are you ready for some Football?!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: September 08, 2011, 07:13:34 pm »
The NFL season opener is tonight! Two great teams, The Packers and the Saints in Green Bay. It should be a great Game! I had to pick one for the Football pool. I am a fan of both teams, but I had to pick one. So without any bias, I'm picking the Packers to win, no points.
enjoy to game!

Brag Forum / Steve's Scrolled Mini Clock
« on: September 02, 2011, 01:14:07 pm »
Two weekends ago was our woodworkers club annual summer BBQ. I always do a demonstration on the scroll saw. This year I decided to do Steve's scrolled mini clock. At the BBQ, we always have a silent auction where members donate something they made to benefit the club. I decided to donate the clock once it was finished. I gave the winner the option to take it home with her, or I would take it home and apply the finish. She opted for me to apply the finish. So here is the completed clock. Made from 1/2" Mahogany. It took about a half an hour to cut, and cut with a Flying Dutchman UR #3 blade. Finished with my 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Top coated with Deft semi gloss spray lacquer.
The picture was taken in my new light box. Still experimenting with it!
