Computer questions / Having to RESTART my PC.... ?

« on: January 21, 2013, 06:47:37 am »

This past week been experiencing this problem....  Double clicking on icon for my
Home Page.  The lil arrow plus hour glass pops up and goes away.  The Home Page
does not come up.  I decided to just RESTART the PC and afterwards all worked right.

I have been having to go thru this routine several times lately....

Is there a cure for this?

Thanks in Advance....  Danny  :+(

Now this is a project that not only could be used as a Spice Rack it also could be
many things like in a Childs room or I can see it in a bathroom.  Very Good craftsmanship on this Frank.  I like it a lot.  Danny  :+}

Your work looks Great.  I also vouch that FM are only for people looking to spend a buck and hope to come home with 10 worth.  A well established Craft Show will bring
all kinds of people that are there because only Hand Made Crafts are for sell.  I am down here in Alabama and do a craft show in Nov. and some years are better than others.  Have learned that people around here are Leary about spending a big dollar.
Have members here that live in different cities that tell of selling real well.  Anyway
 
I would say your Plaque is well worth $40 Plus, but around here maybe I would get $25.      My 3 cents worth....  Danny  :+}

Shogun....  If you are using a soft wood such as pine I have become a strong believer in using a FDUR-#1 blade.  Keep tension set correctly, don't push the wood into the
blade.  Learn to hold a corner of the blank and rotate it slowly while cutting a curve.
Keep the saw speed around 75%.  A slow speed to me seems to loose control.  Just
because speed is fast doesn't mean you have to cut fast.  My 2 cents....Danny  :+}

This Window....  ASCII Filter Options....It has boxes to check for these....

« on: January 14, 2013, 02:03:26 pm »

I like both the set ups shown.  Mine is similar.  Magnifiers are made to magnify that
lil cutting line.  I use magnify glasses to cut with.  I have tried to use the magnifier part
with difficulties being able to adjust my eyes to what I am cutting.  To me I just do not
like it, but the round florescent light that is built in is Great.  Boy both of your scroll
areas sure look clean.  LOL  Danny  :+}

Thank You Tommy....  This type of reasoning is what I think I need.  I am a fairly
Good type of artist ....at least in my mind and I have looked at many very good
looking projects that were using this method and I LIKE WHAT I SEE....  Danny  :+}
