General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Question about Finishing
« on: June 28, 2013, 11:45:46 am »
Bullseye shellac is another good choice. Like lacquer it dries in minutes and doesn't require sanding between coats because lacquer and shellac partially dissolve the previous coats with the application of a new one. Lacquer is thinned or cleaned up with lacquer thinner, while shellac is thinned or cleanup is done with denatured alcohol. Both are natural finishes which are food safe after thorough drying. My favorite method is a few coats followed by applying furniture wax with 0000 steel wool. It gives a nice luster and a really smooth feel to the wood.

The shop vac may be sufficient if your only activity is scrolling, but a larger system is required if you use tools like joiners, planers, or drum sanders.

The only time I have ever had a glue joint fail was when using belts from Harbor Freight. Every one of them failed, and I never bought another one.

I'm confused! I thought bears were Catholic and it was the Pope who defecated in the woods. (No offense intended).

I have both an air guitar and a traditional one. Everyone says I the sound of the air guitar is far superior.

Not sure I agree, but maybe that's what makes them so much fun. I do know they can bring out the evil in me sometimes.

Swap Shop / RBI for sale in St Pete, FL
« on: June 08, 2013, 07:59:23 pm »

I saw this listing today in CL for a 16 inch RBI Hawk in St Pete. I love my RBI 26 inch and sold a 16 inch myself a year ago for $100 more than this person is asking.
I don't know the individual, or have anything to do with the sale, but it should be a good deal for anyone looking for a great saw.

Jumping in: Polyurethane (which is what I think you meant) dries slowly, as in hours. Lacquer dries in minutes, as does shellac. You will get an odor from a varnish like polyurethane for many times longer than from a lacquer or shellac. Another thing you might try is Odie's oil. http://www.odiesoil.com/odies-oil-original/ I have a friend who is a luthier and uses it on his guitars and ukes.

I really enjoy scrolling, but it is only part of my woodworking. If I am just woodworking for the sake of it, I have difficulty getting enthused, but if a project excites me, then I can't get enough. Funny thing is I almost never make something for my own use. Everything is for gifts, mostly for my wife. For the past few months I have been building her a tall shaker clock and everything else has gone by the wayside. I will have to re-set my goals and projects once I finally finish the clock.
Maybe it is time to tackle another aspect of woodworking, or at least to browse around until you see a project you can get excited over. Once the enthusiasm returns, you will find yourself right at home in front of the saw again.
