General Scroll Saw Talk / Not a bragg

« on: February 23, 2011, 01:28:36 am »

This is the Sheila Landry Solaris bowl constructed, it was no easy task as I had not done my conversion from lineal to metric properly and the slats were to thick and had to be sanded down, it would have been easier to re cut and plane the wood, over all a worth while project that keeps you on your toes, give it a go, I will certainly be making this project again

The quake was felt in Wellington CBD where my daughter works she is on the 4th floor of a building and said it was terrifying and the after shock was just as bad we didn't feel it where we live which is only about 4 kms as the crow flies
Thank you all for your concern and support, Australia have sent 200 specialst people to help with search and rescue and Japan has also offered specialized earthquake support as well

General Scroll Saw Talk / Bowl

« on: February 22, 2011, 02:12:52 am »

This a sheila Landry design bowl in the making, it is now fully assembled waiting for the finishing, not as easy as it looks I had some problems as the measurements were not in metric and I cut the slats one mil too  thick and had problems fitting it together, will make adjustments next one I make

Not sure why you would want to tilt your saw some say it helps to see the lines on the patterns, for this I just move my light so I can see cant see any other advantage

Not as big as the first one last year but has all but destroyed Lytleton just north of Christ Church that has had most of the larger building leveled to the ground and the worst part is it happened around 1pm, so far the count is 65 deaths and huge amounts of injuries, there has been a great response from counties including the USA, thanks guys.
This about all I know at present

Ask Steve a question. / Re: makin boxes with tabs that fit together

« on: February 22, 2011, 01:25:33 am »

You are probably looking at finger jointing, similar to tenon joints these can be done by making a simple jig for your bench saw there is plenty of free sites to show you how
