Ask Steve a question. / Re: Indian Portrait

« on: May 21, 2019, 11:55:38 am »

Walter, I appreciated your thoughts and comments to Steve in reference to his Indian Head pattern and response from RD.  As i told Steve, offline, I felt like RD's comments were educational and thought provoking.  I liked your thoughts on expectations for all of us to act and speak in a politically correct manner.  Actually I am convinced that the term "politically correct" is illogical and is really nothing but bias.  You know, God gave us the Ten Commandments, our forefathers gave us the Constitution / Bill of Rights and my parents taught me right and wrong.  None of the above - told me I should strive to be politically correct.  The concept of being Politically Correct does not have much of a sense of the freedom of a Republic / Democracy.

For me, It's about a 50 / 50 deal, depending on whatever.

Nancy, just curious, why three Dewalts plus a Jet?  I can only scroll with one saw at a time!  >>  GLC in Cypress, Texas

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Re: Tape on partially finished work

« on: April 22, 2019, 10:57:04 am »

The previously suggested heat gun work well to loosen the tape from your work or applying mineral spirits to the tape and let it soak in for a few moments.  Note: if you use mineral spirits on a rag to apply to tape dispose of the rag properly.  They can self combust!  When I use mineral spirits on a rag I take it out of my shop when I leave and place the rag spread out on my driveway to evaporate all of the mineral spirits.  Regards  >>  GLC in Cypress, Texas

I just wanted to add in and affirm Don's comments on vendors and blade selection.  While I shop at Bear Woods, real nice folks there, I buy my Ultra reverse blades from Mike's.   Regards >>> GLC in Cypress, Texas

Nice looking pieces.  Your past experience as a carpenter and woodworker will give you tremendous insight into projects with a scroll saw.  You should pick up the skill sets and techniques for the saw much quicker than most of us.  There are quite a lot of good videos on youtube by scrollers.  Enjoy!

A you do not use the switch to turn the lamp off and on, the simplest solution might br to remove the switch, connect the wiring to and from the switch with a wire nut or electrician tape and then place a piece of tape to cover the hole where the switch was previously.  Be safe.  GLC
