General Scroll Saw Talk / Aileens Tacky Glue....

« on: August 10, 2011, 10:22:07 am »

Well after reading several of ya's that use this glue I did run across it at Good Ole Walley World.  $1.79 for 4 oz.  Had a small project going so decided to give it a test.  Maybe there could be something I did WRONG.
Well I applied it and clamped it and even forgot about it till this morning.
Bad, bad, bad, bad glue.  After un-clamping I just held it in my hand and of course pulled a lil and Wow!  It just fell apart!!!!  Was gluing cedar.  Any thots would be great.  Thanks....  Danny  :+}

If you make multible copies of the middle piece they can be arranged on a sheet of paper in different patterns to conserve on the waisted wood.
     Dan your card holders look Great.  I also have cut a Dozen.  Danny  :+}

Hey Bob....  How long did you say you have been designing?  All of your patterns look simply put Beautiful.  This one looks Great and also the Cutting.  Sure would LOVE to learn how to design.  Didn't you say you were using Gimp and Inkscape a little?  Gots both now need to find material to teach.  Anyway....  Danny  :+}

Howdy Doody Thumbs....
     I 100% agree with Mike's post.  Since he lead me to the RIGHT blade I have had VERY, VERY LITTLE =FUZZIES= on the back side of all of my projects.  I use 300 Grit Sandpaper....Large sheet and lightly go over the area and  almost as good as the front.  Yea! 

I was using the profane torch for a while, but like your experience on some projects IT JUST FLAME UP and some skinny cuts just dissaperared.
     Gave that up real quick.  Danny  :+}

Well I would say the Better more Professional way is to use say a 1/8" piece of wood that fits the area after the portrait is installed.  Now I have been using the thicker black poster board stock I buy at Hobby Lobby.  Not as strong as actual wood, but does its job for me.  Danny  :+}

10 foot slight downhill track thing and Yea! Jeff won every time.  Yea!
                         
Oh yea I was told of the me a new way to finish a project and

Have a line up of Nascar cars going, but wanted to show my TWO FAVORITES.
     One of um will win all the beans this year.  Hope its Jeff.... 

Cut this wat I call a merry go round.  I made the normal animals according to the plans, but modified the other with the dinosoars.  Gonna make some for Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. 

The Cars designer is our very own Steve Good.  The other I can't remember where I got the pattern.  Some mag. I think.  Anyway  Later....  Danny  :+}

Brag Forum / A Clock & Dragon....:+}

« on: August 01, 2011, 05:21:48 pm »

Howdy....  Golly Gee it sure is HOT down in Dixie....Whew!
                                Anyway
Here's a couple of Steve's designs.  Had a lot of fun cutting both.
The clock is basic....3/4 pine & 1/2 popular.  This is the very FIRST
time I made a craft with a clock.  The dang thing cost me $15.00
counting S&H!!!!  Awful....  That's the cost for ONLY the clock!  Think
I won't mess with crafts that need a clock anymore.  Oh yea I do two
Craft Shows each year and I would have to put a cost of $30 just to break even.
That's to rich for folks around here.  Anyway I enjoyed cutting the
dragon and kind of made the oval a insert thing.  Came out ok for me.
Okey Dokey....Time to attack....  Later Danny  :+}
