kraftsmanmike Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 1. no matter hard you try you can not blow saw dust off your project when you are wearing a dust mask 2. the more intricate the project the less the glue on the pattern holds 3. you never mess up at the beginning of the project 4. shiny stuff sells better than dull unless the buyer is a craft person themself 5 sometimes it seems that the blades gets a bend in it just by looking at it anybody have any they would like to add?

Scrolling Steve Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 So true...#3 is spot on...Thanks for sharing! Quote
bandaideman Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 That about does it. 6. the more intricate the project the more likely you will accidently drop it and IT WILL BREAK! Of course you just say oh my it broke. Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oneleggimp 1 Quote
Dan Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 7. No matter how many times you do it, spray adhesive makes a lousy finish. oneleggimp, tomsteve and spirithorse 3 Quote
woodduck Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 No 6 for sure, just dropped a delicate piece about an hour ago & I did not say oh my it broke! either,far from it but i won't repeat. Quote
WayneMahler Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I'll run with 1 - 6. I have dropped piece taking the pattern off and said a little more the " Oh my ... " . Live and learn. tomsteve 1 Quote

Kepy Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 It kind of makes one wonder why we do this doesn't it? Oh well, guess I'll go to the shop and see what I can mess up today. DeenaKay and Kris Martinson 2 Quote
jerry1939 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I will also get in trouble thinking "I want/need to get this done by____________" We have 3 copy machines near by. I know for a fact that few or none copy 1 to 1. DON'T take part of a pattern to one machine & another part to a different copier. I agree with Kepy. You don't need to be mentally unstable to do scrolling, but it sure comes in handy at times. jerry tomsteve 1 Quote

DeenaKay Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 I agree with them all, but I use the cheap little paper masks. I cut a small hole and put in a straw. It works so far. Quote
Frank Pellow Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 I have experienced all of these, but #10 is the one that seems to be particularly applicable to me. Quote

My favorite is number 3 . How true, how true. That is why they call it designer firewood, and I have created my share. LOL Quote
