The Coffee Shop / Thanks Steve

« on: January 27, 2014, 10:15:50 am »

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Steve for today's pattern.  As a veteran from the early Vietnam and the Cuban missile crisis, I am always moved when someone remembers our service.  It sure wasn't that way at the time.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: My Up-Date on E6000 Glue.... :+}

I found it to be very effective.  Cut some 1/4" ply clocks backed with felt and then had to figure out how to hang them.  Cut a small piece of the ply and put in a nailless hanger, then used the E6000 to glue it to the back of the clock and seems to be working fine.

You might also check into the E6000 as it is supposed to stick to anything.

I have found that putting masking tape on the cut lines, it doesn't melt back.  Worked great on 1/4" plexiglas.

I have used E6000 with success.

The Coffee Shop / Steve's latest

« on: January 09, 2014, 09:20:18 am »

Steve's latest heart puzzle surely brings back some memories.  When I was in high school, the fad was to give your girl a necklace with half a heart and you wore one with the other half.  Of course, this was a few years ago or should I say decades?

A good excuse for a nap without having to feel guilty.  I have to use age as an excuse.

Sorry about your loss.  It is like losing a family member.  Be sure to keep the great patterns as you will eventually want to do them.

Sometimes bad news can result in good news.  Think you will be much happier with the EX.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Pre-stretching of blades?

« on: December 29, 2013, 07:50:27 am »

I think you hit the nail on the head.  I have never had the tension on my 788 higher than maybe 2 1/2 but usually l l/1 to 2.  Even doing straight cutting without have to reset, I have never had to change the tension before changing the blade due to dullness.

I ordered a dozen of those tubes from the same company for $3.95 and will build a rack from scrap wood.

If you don't mind a little drive, there is a scrolling club in Branson or at least there used to be.  Some nice people who would be a great help.

MRSN hit the nail on the head.  Most big box stores don't carry true Baltic Birch.  I did find one that would order it special for me.  It typically runs about $20 for a 5x5 sheet around here.
