« on: December 17, 2010, 05:37:05 pm »

I have viewed several finished crafts of a stand up clock here n there.  Now I am getting excited about scrolling my very first one.  Can anyone lead me on to plans (OR) better for me if I could borrow plans.  Thanks....  Danny  :+}

Here's one more....Had a Beautiful Display set-up....Lots of variety in my crafts.  Area cost was $60 for 2 days.  I was amoung 2 other wood crafters.
By Sunday afternoon and listening to I would bet over 500 different people admire my crafts.  Pick um up and just set um down (out of place) and give me all kinds of nice compliments and just keep walking!!!!  The other two wood crafters had the same bad luck with their sells.  Last year....Same time of year....Same place....By Sunday I had sells of $475.00.  This year after costs I pocketed $191.00!!!!  Had two ladies next to me selling all types of hand made SOAPS and they did real good.  Brought most of my crafts home and for this Christmas....Everyone is getting one of them as their gift.  I really feel like Julief mentioned.  Its the way the world is at present.  Thanks for listening....  Danny  :+}

You people have taught me a thing or two.  Thanks....:+}
I have been using Krylon Gloss Spray (Walmart) and I have found it to be very good and the price is only $2.50 per can.  Dries in 20 mins.  I have always used 320 grit sand paper to sand inbetween coats.  Oh yea the Krylon says no sanding between coats, but thats not so.  Danny  :+}

Thank you my Good Friend.  Can't wait.  Going from a noicey saw to a quiet 0ne is going to be a huge difference.

Thanks for all of your info.  I have boiled it down to a 3' by 4' table.  Think
2 drawers on one side.  Just high enough which is to the working area of the scroll saw so I can sit in a confortable computer chair with my legs under the table.  Started off with my first saw mounted to the work table and stood for over a year cutting my crafts.  Then went to a second saw with a stand and used a short bar stool type.  Bad on back.  Anyway this is just my idea at present, but I would LOVE any input for improvement or cons.  Tks  Danny:+}

I have been into Scrolling for around 5 years and have had three different brands of Saws.  All Cheapies and bit the dust within a couple years.  All have came with their STANDS and thats how I used my scroll saw.  Now I have been given (to me) the Cadilac of all Scroll saws.  A 2001 Hedgner-Multimax 18 inch with ALL the attachments.  I just DO NOT want to use it on a STAND.
Have had thoughts about a TABLE or same nature.  Can any of our Family OFFER me any advice.  Thank Ya's in Advance....  Danny  :+}

Sounds like professional advice and I do thank you.  The saw is located in California at present.  It is owned by a very dear friend that has medical problems at present as to why he wants to sell it.  Is there a thought as to approx. how much you would want to pay for it.  He assures me its in pretty much excellent condition.  Thanks again....  Danny  :+}

I have a chance to buy a scroll saw.  It was made in 2001 and is a Hegner Multimax 18 inch with foot control, magnigier with light and stand.  It has not been used for the past 6 years and only limited usage before that.  Could any of you offer me your advice on this?  Thanks in Advance....  Danny  :+}
