Hey Mick....Can you explain a lil more about SPIRIT BASED WOOD STAINS?
                I have wondered about mixing the Danish Oil with say a Minwax oil stain.  Thanks for you help with this....  Danny  :+}

P.S.  I know .... Why don't I experiment.  LOL  Easier to read it from another scroller that has positive or negitive results after experimenting.  LOL

Chuck your advice is good and sound.  Always thought about a good dust collection sysyem, but guess I'm on the cheap side as most all of um just cost to dang much.  Gots plenty of fans going and a fan blowing out my one window, but just using my scrollsaw makes fine dust on everything in my shop.  I would love to hear all about your systems.  Yes?  Thanks Danny :+}

Hey Chuck....  I really got SERIOUS about Intarsia last year and bought me a book and luckily got connected with a Pro in another Forum.  Anyway long story short THERE IS JUST WAY TO MUCH FINE SAW DUST flying around and you can't help but BREATH the stuff.  Your gonna say why not use a mask.  Bought the finest one, but don't work good when you have to wear glasses.
And not good in HOT type whether....SO....  I put Intarsia in the back burner for now.  Oh yea didn't have all them fancy sanding devices either.  Just the good ole Dremble.  LOL  Later....  Danny  :+}

Hey to all....I have successfully completed many picture puzzles in the past.  Using Steves way to mount and the 1/8" top piece.  I use Permanent spray glue.
Spray the back of the picture and also the top of the blank.  I quit messing around with my printer for my pics and started using either Walgreens Photo or Kodak.  It doesn't cost very much and you get a Professional picture all ready to mount and cut.  Later....  Danny  :+}

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Cutting on the Line as Compared to....

« on: June 22, 2011, 12:13:15 pm »

One thing I like to do is change the pattern to red.  A lot easier to see.  And the thinner the line the better.  As you cut, if you are doing it right, the line disappears.

I for sure agree with yas bout cutting a red line being easier to see, but HOW do I change the thickness of the cut line?  Bout all I know is using Inkscape and I have finally learned how to change the over-all black area to gray and make the cut line red.  Anyway I am all ears.  LOL  Later....  Danny

The Coffee Shop / I am Happily Married.... :+}

« on: June 21, 2011, 08:09:11 pm »

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife went in for counseling.  When
asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade
listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married.
 
She went on and on and on:  neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling
unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had
endured.

Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist
got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, embraced
and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.  The therapist
turned to the husband and said, 'this is what your wife needs at least 3
times a week  Can you do this?'


"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I
go fishing," replied the hubby.

Also I REALLY felt I was having to strain my eyes while trying to see where the blade was cutting on the BLACK cut out area.  My opinion is you have to have that LINE to follow.  Wud love to hear from someone that feels otherwise.
Later....  Dany  :+}
