My wife's first attempt at pyrography this is a practice piece for a project. She is a spinner and I made her a Navajo Spindle. She is going to put that pattern on the whorl of the spindle.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: This is how we roll, or not... what type of chair for scrolling?

I use a regular kitchen table type chair. My table is custom built and I have never cared for stools. I had one that was really good but a little rickety so I measured the seat height (18") and found a really sturdy one at a yard sale for $4. So far I am happy with it for well over 2 years.

This shooting is about as bad as it gets. However the news media - all of them- just sensationalize it. Interviewing elementary school kids on live national/international TV is just plain wrong. And they ask the stupidest questions. I will quit now before this becoms a book

It takes a very special type of person to do that.
Idiot, imbecile, deranged, suicidal, are a few that come to mind.

I have done both top and bottom feeding. with the Dewalt top feeding is natural to me and I can not fathom feeding from the bottom. When I used the Porter Cable I fed from the bottom. Whatever way you find that makes it easier for you is the way to go. It took me a while to learn to feed with the Dewalt and get the blade in the clamp and tighten it. But after a while no matter what saw you are using, you will develop "eyes" in you fingers and feeding will become second nature.

I use 4000 grit sandpaper (square cut from a brown paper grocery bag) and give the piece a few rubs between coats.

One source for latex gloves is the beauty supply store. I use Sally's because it is closest to us. My wife is a licensed beautician so she gets the professional discount. I think without the discount they are around $10 for a box of 100. The have the x-large size too. I keep a can of dollar store baby powder next to the gloves and shake a bit into each glove before use. Helps them come off easier and I do reuse them when possible.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Good Information on aplying patterns to wood...From Sheila Landry
« on: December 14, 2012, 09:16:17 am »
It is always good to see different way of doing the same thing. I know I have a tendency to use the "if it ain't broke don't fix it " approach to many things. After reading Shelia's post I will give labels a try at some point. I also have not tried the hot glue but intend to. ( I just keep forgetting - I blame that on birthdays). You never know when you are going to say " Why haven't I been doing it this way all along"
