Brag Forum / I made a Boo Boo!
« on: August 07, 2012, 08:26:12 pm »
I recently purchased some patterns from Sheila Landry Designs and was very anxious to start cutting them out, perhaps a bit too anxious! One of the patterns I bought from her was the self framing Sun n' Moon pattern (Not sure that's what she calls it, but it is what I call it). And in my excitement of making the pattern I guess I had what you would call a "Brain Fart". If I had followed the many pages of instruction that Sheila includes with her patterns, I probably would not have messed up, but I didn't, and yes I did mess up! I cut the bevel in the wrong direction on the wood that was supposed to inset the face. It was supposed to be an inny, but ended up being an outy when compared to belly buttons.
Such a dilemma, I didn't want to throw away a perfectly good piece of Maple hard wood, so I just started playing with what I had and came up with the following. I cut the face out added a couple risers to the back and made the face an outy instead of an inny and got the router out.
I honestly think it came out really nice, sometimes even a Brain Fart can be good!

Hey Aubec,
A Hegner is a class saw, just be aware, replacement parts are a class price as well. Something you might want to consider.
I had an opportunity to buy a Hegner that needed refurbished, I declined because the cost of the parts to repair it would have been over what a new saw cost.

Dave that is a great picture! I'm still chuckling cus I've been there done that! Here's a little suggestion, even if you have a pattern, that doesn't mean you can't change it up a little bit. When I opened your picture my eyes went straight to the base, which is not your intent I'm sure. The base is a bit thick, I think if you cut the thickness of the oak base in half, much more emphasis would be placed on the important part, The I LOVE YOU.
You have a really great start, and if you keep coming here, and participate in this forum you will learn very quickly and your projects will get much better very fast. As for your glue up, we are not building furniture here, get a good tack, and let it dry. I use Aileens too, you can get it at Walmart, But I also use Titebond II because it really grabs quickly, it depends on the project I'm doing as to which one I use, but that's a whole nother topic for a different post.

Intarsia / Santa Bear Intarsia
« on: July 30, 2012, 11:03:13 pm »
This is my first real attempt at Intarsia, the pattern is by Judy Gale Roberts. I really enjoyed making this, and probably as a surprise to most, I actually liked doing the shaping process. I have learned a lot doing this, mostly what not to do, so the next one should go a lot smoother, Hopefully!
Wood's used, Bloodwood, Butternut, Cherry, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Aspen, Walnut and Poplar dowels for the eyes.
I need to thank Al (Intarsia92) for his help through this process. All comments are welcomed, hope you like it.

Don't expect Bright blue from the blue pine, it's is more grey with a tinge of blue, at least the blue pine I have is, but it does look good as a water effect. Good Luck on your first Intarsia. I just finished my first one tonight, and will be posting pics in the next day or two.
