The Coffee Shop / Sales table

« on: September 20, 2010, 03:41:48 pm »

Woodcraft has been and gone and the crowds did not come hence poor sales, if it had not been for my new range of scroll work it would have been a wasted 2 1/2 days, I sold 33 pieces of scroll work 25 of those were puzzles, so in my opinion it was a pleasing result, sales over all for me were 50% down on last year but some had no sales at all so I can not really complain, I have more pics I will post at a latter date

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: saw speed

« on: September 20, 2010, 03:24:59 am »

I did not know that saws got up to 2000spm, and I have as yet not seen one that has  a speed indicator, and at that speed I would think it would be uncontrollable let alone the burning from the blade, what do you all think?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Looking for the right Planer

« on: September 15, 2010, 09:46:02 pm »

Julie read my last reply, 5mm is the thinnest you can plane BUT if you put a base board on the bed of the planer you can get it thinner, BUT be sure you knives are sharp other wise you will get pick up from the cutters and may shred the wood you are planing
, on the Ryobi the blades can be sharpened with a diamond hone

General Scroll Saw Talk / Mug

« on: September 15, 2010, 09:39:59 pm »

Cut rings out for mug today and glued them, it is not looking very promising, may have to put it on the lathe to finish outside and do the inner with a tube sander, it may end up the joke of the year
