General Scroll Saw Talk / Question....Laser Cutting.... ????

« on: November 26, 2011, 07:34:14 pm »

This is a late post, but at my Craft Show a few weeks ago I had TWO men ask me if my crafts were cut using a laser....Different times....  I have NOT ever thought about this.  (?)  Both were really nice.  After I told them NO I cut them with a Scroll saw they both responded with Nice Compliments and One of them told me I should invest in this way of cutting wood. 

My Question is this....  Is THIS "LASER" thing going to be the downfall of our Scrolling in a matter of time?

Hey any and ALL responses will be really Good...  Looking forward to this....

And I Thank Ya's All for your Kind Words....  Still can't understand why not a one of the Gift Certificate holders sold!  Even dropped the price to $2.00 each for Sunday.  Guess there just was not a buyers market for them.  Danny  :+}

Have a potential customer requesting me cut a 8x10 portrait of a Horse.

She purchased the Horse design that Steve did and was in love with it, but she has two grand daughters (horse lovers) and wanted to give them each a picture. 

The portrait below is Steves....Could our designers make me a pattern simular to this?  Thanks in Advance....  Danny  :+}

Had a Craft Show in Fayetteville, Tenn. this past week-end.  Saturday was in my feelings good.  Sold $403.00 worth of my crafts.  Took orders from three customers.  Sunday as I feel usual was low attendance, but still managed to sell another $97.00 worth.  Yea!  I am very happy as last year on both days I only sold 101.00.  Terrible!  Wanted to take pictures, but this was against their policy....SO....  Had a corner area and had two five foot tables and one six foot.  I felt my display was Beautiful and as usual had many, many customers compliment me and also my craftsmanship. Yea!  Had nine different designs for ornaments.  Sold out of all the ones that had Merry Christmas 2011 the first day.  Remember me showing Sheila Landry's real cute ornaments?  Eleven different parts.  Well only two were bought.  And had 18 of the Gift Certificate lil holders.  NONE WERE BOUGHT.  Awful.  Anyway I am Thankful that I sold what I did.  Danny  :+}

Well I just gots to put in my two cents worth....  I have been using the
FD-UR 1-3-5 and 7 and I use on a Hegner.  The FD blades were breaking at the top pretty often.  Made me feel the FD blades were faulty, so ordered a batch of Olsen blades.  Well they also were breaking, but not as often.
Basically after talking to the Hegner service rep. I have determined my problem was simply OPERATOR TROUBLE!.  Thats right ME.  LOL  After applying what they said I have been using the FD blades and have cut a simple ornament stacked 3 high out of BB 1/8".  Have successfully completed 3 different ornaments this way and Hey Guess what DIDN'T HAVE A BREAK.

My feelings are YES both Olsen and FD blades do a good job, but for my money I will ALWAYS USE THE Flying Dutchman brand.  UR only.

Thanks for reading....  Danny  :+}

Just a Follow-Up bout assembling these ornaments.  I have been using TITEBOND FAST DRYING GLUE.  Its almost like a super glue.  Works Great.
                                   At least they give you 6 seconds.  LOL  Danny  :+}

Dan....and....Leldon....  Dan I have give lots of thought to the finishing part and except for dipping them in your special mixture that's it, but I can see them being different colors also.  Thought about painting each piece before assembling, but that's just to much time consuming and I don't paint good.
Your ideas are excepted or anyone eles. 

Leldon....Roll Tide Roll, but Cry.cry about giving LSU the game.  LOL

Thank you all for you kind posts....  Danny  :+}

These are designed by Sheila Landry and Dawie got me into cutting them.
I simply LOVE cutting and assembling them.  They look so Rich and Eloquent.
The picture is the best I could take.  To see them in person is very much different.  Enjoy....  Danny  :+}

Shelia's slotted ornaments are very fast to cut and assembly is easy if you use the fast drying glue.  I use the Titebond brand.  Is different as I am used to cutting stacks which produces many in short order, but these ornaments look so rich and elegant.  Danny  :+}
