Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Re: Need ideas for milling small wood
« on: November 22, 2011, 11:56:22 am »
My husband says I am a packrat......Maybe! but whenever he needs a scrap of wood as a shim or whatever I always have it. I cringe when people throw out perfectly good wood. Have two neighbors building house. I have already been by to claim their scrap wood piles.
When I scroll and have bits and pieces left (I have some really tiny pieces) I put them in a box for later use..............Here's one thing I plan on doing with the scraps. I do mosiacs! I plan to make a couple of trays and mosiac the inside bottom with these scraps of wood. My grout will be sawdust! Another idea is random puzzle pieces also can be used for the bottom of trays or as keychains or ornaments. The possibilities are endless.

Great finds. You just never know what you will find or were you will find it. Love browsing the charity shops.

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Re: glass cutting
« on: November 20, 2011, 03:48:51 pm »
I cut glass all the time since I do stained glass. I cut it a couple of different ways.
1. I have a glass saw (very similar to a scroll). I'm not sure if you can get a blade for the scrollsaw to cut but I think so. Might want to google. You need a special blade to cut glass and your glass must be warm when cutting otherwise it will shatter.
If you don't want to invest in a glass saw (not cheap) then you can use a hand held glass cutter. You score the glass and then break it by hand. Takes a bit of practice.

Have to see if we have a service center or as you say maybe my mechanic can back the screw out.
Thanks Karl. I was thrilled to get these tool. The saw has a light, blower and a bevel. I think it is one of the pricer sawd Craftsman makes. There were other tools there but we have most of them already. She did have a pile of impact nailers. We have a paslode framing nailed and a pin nailer already but maybe I should go back a take another look. Can always use a backup.
