amazingkevin Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 This is another order i got for larger ANKH'S,I thought i could do this project on the scroll saw.(i cut the pattern on the scroll saw and that was to much for me) being 3'5"tall an 2' wide on the Dewalt.There was everything imaginable obstructing me from doing the job smoothly.My chair keep falling off make shift plywood floors hap haphazardly thrown down.The saw was cockeyed to the floor from moving it around so much to try and cut this pieces. Rain play havoc with me too.Nothing has been picked up off the floor in a while.No room to get in or out to scroll.Usually i get in position with an arm full of wood and patterns and scroll none stop till finished. This project i had to deal with a full sheet of 1/8 wood and no table to cut it on. i stood it up and with the battery saw cut it down in a walk way only a cat could travel. .Being hurt stops a lot of things getting done .But as usual i got the job done.I spent hours on the printer trying to find out why it would not print .Many hours looking for my Dewalt jig saw,which i never did find. but found three others plus a battery one.I was supposed to get $10.00 a cross but she change it to $6.00 as she thought the wood was included. i sent all the info she needed she just didn't read it.Oh well, she's a good customer .She wants 30 to 60 of these ,I stack cut three at a time ,but my working conditions really hampered the job.

wombatie Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Seems to me that you need to have a clean up before you do any more scrolling and before you get hurt. Apart from that I am sure you will get them done in record time Marg amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hi Kevin: Thanks for sharing your stories and your work Marg is right, You have to slow down just a tad and take a minute or ten every day to clean up around you. If you trip, fall and hurt yourself, how good will you be then A little at a time and it will get done. Keep up the great work, and don't forget to breathe once in awhile Take care Fab4 amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Kevin Clean your area and then every day when you quit for the day take 10 minutes and clean your area. I was once a worker in a dirty shop and when I cleaned it up i lost a full day. Clean it up before you and then take 10 minutes a day to keep it clean, It would be boring around here with you not here The hospital is no place to do your scrolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean it up before you and then take 10 minutes a day to keep it clean, It would be boring around here with you not here The hospital is no place to do your scrolling thanks IKE, i've got fans to move tarps to reposition sheets of plywood to situate a scroll saw with a HEAVY planner on the bottom that's tough to move around with no real floor, high chairs for working on the bench's when i get the stump out of the way.You got me thinking now . This stump is the sorce of my headache It's in the middle of my shop outside.I just bought two new chain saws from the thrift shop and i have another one to.the stumps only a foot tall x 36" round. problem is getting down on all four is next to impossible and for long periods of time. I can't believe you pin pointed my main problem,thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Finally a shop mess bigger than mine. I feel better now. Al Hi AL, funny you would say that .In the beginning of my scroll saw days i had a chair the saw and a refrigerator box standing straight up with box fans on top with 20"x20" filters .So basically i had a 3'x3' work shop in a box. Do you know i pumped out more work in that little spot in my efficiency than i have ever done in my scrolling days.what am i doing ,going on reverse now?

Hey Kevin: I've fallen down too many times coming home (arms empty). nothing on either side of me to break my fall. But that was before my scrolling days and believe me, this is a whole new story.......lol amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you love a challenge but looking at the pictures of your "tent", you're challenge is more like a WAR. A tidy shop is safer. I found out the hard way. Tripped on 2x4 offcuts which I threw on the floor!!!!. Fell backwards and split the back of my head open on the edge of a sheet of 3/4" ply and got twenty stitches and a holiday. Don't worry, there was no damage to the ply or my brain. The medic said he could find nothing on the x ray of my head. So now you know why I'm the way I am, Kevin. Take care and TIDY UP. . Rob Roy.
