General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Double Sided Tape
« on: October 09, 2012, 07:47:53 am »
Thanks for ur reply Dan. I agree bout what work best for each of us. Is there anyone that has used just the drops of glue on the outside cut away areas? To me waiting for a Messy hot glue gun to heat or wrapping all with clear packing tape makes for a lot of trouble removing the tape from the bottom copy. Anyway just curious. Danny :+}

Golly Gee Whiz!!!! This subject is very NEW to my experience with stack cutting.
How does this technique compare to just putting a few drops of glue in the outside
area of each blank? Example. Making each blank a Quarter inch bigger on all sides.
I use Aileen's glue product and it works GREAT. PAINTERS BLUE TAPE on top with pattern spray glued to it. Cut away and never any problems. What am I missing with using hot glue guns, double stick tape or packing tape? Just inquiring....Danny :+}

I never had good success with using the Krylon clear coat varnish. Laquer or poly.
All said above is important for successfull completion of a project. Danny :+}

Hey again Tony.... You n I are on the same wave length on pricing of ornaments.
The area that you sale at is the big difference. Have read others that live in Big Cities or states like Calif., New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Florida etc. that are able to sell at what the crafts are really worth. Been doing this same craft show for this will be my 4th year and Ornaments sell real, real well in mid November. The time I spend in cutting, sanding, finishing, varnishing etc. I know I sell at a loss, but cutting 5 at a time and using the 1/8BB I figure at $3 to $4 each is OK to me. Last year I had 150 and sold every one and pocketed over $300 just for them. Anyway.... Danny :+}

Hi Dave.... Can't offer you any concrete way to fix it yourself (unless you are real good with the electrical etc.) Know there are a sort of contact area inside the speed control knob. Bet you were really surprised the very first time you were cutting away on a project and the saw sped up. Bout as bad as when a blade breaks. LOL Danny

Hehe....You made a funny.... Hehe.... Seriously of course Practice does get a person to the confident level of not worrying about any type of inside cuts. I have learned that running the saw at a slower speed will cause the fragile points to break more easily. Bout 3/4 speed to me is good. Of course like I have been professing the

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Which Ornaments Sell Best?
« on: September 27, 2012, 03:01:44 pm »
Gotta throw in my 2 cents worth.... Last 2 years at the Only craft show I do I have had the Good Luck to sell almost all the ornaments I take. Assortment is important.
Some spray painted and some just the oil/varnish. Simple circle with one word inside like NOEL I sold for @2.00.... Ones with a little more cutting involved I sold for $3.00.
Didn't have any like I will this year thats way more complicated and time consuming than said above. I will start off asking $5.00. Had 147 various colors, sizes and shapes last year and sold a lil over $200.00. Most all were a split between 1/8 bb
and Lowes 1/4" birch ply. and good ole 1/4" Pine. Anyway I choose not to spend so much monies on the good hard wood as I would be forced to charge a higher price.
I think down here (there) in Tennessee there are a lot of peoples that just don't have that extra buck to throw away. Danny :+}
