General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Do you add color to your fretwork?
« on: November 04, 2013, 10:08:24 pm »
the black is the border that I leave. i cut out all the pieces around the border if that makes sense. Sort of like an outline. thats where i drill my holes.
I paint them and put them back in then glue the whole thing to a backer.

I would put the pattern on the inside of the curve and use a spiral blade so i did not have to spin the piece around.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Using a jewelers drill on fretwork
« on: October 31, 2013, 10:57:45 am »
I use a jewelers drill exclusively.
My normal bits are #73 and I use 3/0 blades.
They are so small that the weight of the dremel will break them.
I also have to have them drilled into the right spot. I put the tiny pieces back in when I am done so the drill holes will be in the 1/16" border around it otherwise the finished piece will have a hole in to which of course would look dumb.
Once you go to this you wont go back.

I saw a documentary about multi tasking just a few weeks back.
turns out that no one is capable of doing it correctly because we simply are not wired that way.
So even people who think they can do it and do it all the time will do every task poorly compared to someone who just does one task at a time.
So if the ability to do multiple tasks poorly at the same time is the goal, then some people are better at that then others.
Dont blame the messenger, these were professional researchers who did the test.

you have to consider the weight of the thing with the 69-71 drill bits.
They can break just under the weight of the drill itself.
I use a jewelers drill so i can control them better. i also trim down the bits so they just barely stick out the end of the drill long enough to make it all the way through the wood. longer and they would snap off.

It does seem like quite a bit but keep in mind how much that 38% actually equates too.
An enourmous amount. Most people wont give to an off brand charity so they are also giving because they at least feel like they can trust the organization to direct the money to the right place.
Most big charities are well paying jobs. Its a special skill set.
The advertising will eat a big chunk of it as well but thats how you become a nationally known charity.
Look into all the big name ones and you will see the same thing. You have to pay to get your name big but also that means more donations roll in.
If they gave 100% away then how could they attract executives with business sense to manage the giant company?

nothing in my shop cost me over $100.
My dewalt scrollsaw I picked up from some guy a couple months back for $130. It was so new it still had the original blade in it and the coating on the table.
