General Scroll Saw Talk / Scrollsaw video that humbles us

« on: February 15, 2012, 11:00:58 am »

This is a link to a scrollsaw video on the clocks made by the Bily brothers.  It shows their incredible work and life story and is worth viewing by anyone interested in scrolling.  I stumbled across this video on www.lumberjocks.com.

Another advantage of the foot switch for you guys with Dewalts is that it greatly reduces wear on the regular switch which I understand is somewhat prone to problems anyway.

I like using the full sheet labels, but I prefer the "repositionable" type.  Makes it a snap to remove after cutting.  Sloans sells them for about $30 per 100 if I remember correctly.

I thought there was a disturbance in the force, but I couldn't put a finger on it!  Good to see you back.

f he doesn't get back on his feet and on this board soon I may have to drive all the way up there and kick his butt!  (that's how he would handle it).  He has become a friend to me online and I will be waiting for good news.

Thanks Russ.  i have been in S Florida at our oldest son's house, but I did notice your post.  I keep going back and forth with 1 other guy.  He takes the lead for awhile then I get it, etc etc.  Long way until the end of the month.  It's fun anyway and I do appreciate every one who has voted for my project.

The Coffee Shop / Re: NEW DRINKING WARNING

Keefie,  I will add that to my vault of knowledge of drinking facts such as:  "An Irishman is never drunk so long as he can hold onto a single blade of grass and not fall off the face of the earth."  (My last name is Murphy by the way)

That's a happy boy Katy.  I bet his smile made all the work worthwhile.

The opposite is even worse!  Ie: when you start to pick up something at the store but don't because you are sure you have one at home.  Then when you get home you don't have one and can remember when you used it up.  Now you are forced to go back and buy it.

The Coffee Shop / marriage is like a card game

« on: February 09, 2012, 11:50:54 am »

I got this in an email.  It think it is cute, although I don't personally agree with the message:

Marriage is like a game of cards.  All it takes to get started is a diamond and a couple of hearts, but by the time the game is almost over you are looking for that club and a spade.
