General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: I Need Some Learning Here
« on: October 23, 2014, 10:53:29 am »
I would agree with other postings here about cutting the whiskers larger.
I keep telling my Sweet Wife that those are not lines on a pattern, they are SUGGESTIONS. You are your own person.

If, after comparing 2 items to buy, I might decide to purchase the less expensive of the 2.
Have been known to tell people that I chose that one because of Religious reasons. I'm a Devout Cheapskate.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Scrolling In Baement
« on: October 20, 2014, 09:58:56 pm »
I would vote with Rapid Roger. However, I do carving & scrolling. Quit scrolling in the unheated garage in the winter and carve at the kitchen table in the winter.
I carve basswood. It has a horrible sticky, oily like sawdust. I saw the carving blanks with a band saw in the garage. I made a tarp enclosure around 1 garage corner, hung with 2X4s lag screwed into the ceiling. The tarp also is sandwiched between 2 boards at the bottom, on both sides to make it hang straight.
Be darn sure you keep vacuuming. The wife wouldn't like it if you blew up the house. Women are like that.

After applying the pattern, IF there is a place or 3 where you think you MIGHT mess up if you are daydreaming while sawing, use a yellow highlighter to mark those places. This is a reminder to yourself to pay extra attention when you get there.
I won't admit that I would ever need this info,
but maybe it would help someone else.

Computer questions / Re: Catalog !
« on: September 30, 2014, 10:24:24 pm »
This probably isn't what your problem is, but I will share it. We use a laptop. My wife uses the built in R. & L. buttons & scrolls around with the pad. I HATE them and use a plug in mouse. I thought that over the last few weeks our computer was dying, as it was doing a lot of strange things. Showed some examples to the lovely Mrs.
She wasn't having any problems.
A new mouse today cured everything.

The Coffee Shop / Television
« on: September 23, 2014, 09:26:48 pm »
We use a company called Mediacom for our TV & internet provider. Last evening, they were off from about 6:30 until sometime in the night. I was reminded of a joke that went around about a year ago.
"Last night our electricity was off and we had no TV. I ended up visiting with my wife. She is actually a very nice person."
