Travis Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Howdy all. I'm trying my hand at something new. I'm going to try livestreaming from my workshop! I never done this before, but it should be a lot of fun. For my first live broadcast, I'm going to cut a scroll saw portrait of Deadpool (a comic book and movie character). The final piece is going to be 11x14". I think I'm going to stack cut 3 sheets of 1/8" BB Ply. I might try adding color to one of the copies. I can't imagine I'll finish the portrait in one session, but I should be able to get a good start on it. If you get a chance, stop by and say hi. There will be a live chat that I'll be interacting with as I work on my project. Feel free to ask questions. I can't promise I'll know the answer, but I'll certainly make up what I don't know. It'll just be fun to hang out in the shop and chat. I'll be live streaming on Sunday (March 27) from 1pm PST to about 3pm PST. You can find my live stream here. If I get enough interest, I might make this a weekly thing. I hope you're able to stop by. I'll post again right before I go live tomorrow. Thanks! You guys are awesome! jbrowning, lawson56, Chachi111769 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Travis I hope to be able to stop by, however there is a better than even chance that I will not be able to as I will be with family for Easter. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Easter Sunday is tricky. But I'm excited about it and I didn't want to wait. I'll be streaming next Sunday too, so no worries if you can't make this one. WayneMahler and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I watched for about 45 minutes. Great info for begginers. My suggestion for next time is have prep work already done in advance and just show how it's done, then move on. You spent about 10 minutes on glueing the pattern, tapping and making up your stack. If you had your your blank already done, you could briefly show how you did each step without show the whole process. And taking time out to text someone was just too much! Overall, this is a great resource for begginers and experienced scrollers alike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Travis I stayed a while but it was my bed time I need my beauty sleep. I thought it was great but that twitch stuff was an issue finding my way around couldn't even find the log out. Can we actually talk to you via headphones or are we only able to text?. You might need a bigger screen than that tablet keep having to reach for it all the time perhaps a big 50 inch would do the job right in front of you. I'll try and make the next show to learn a bit more on that twitch stuff it had me twitching. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It was a lot of fun. I'm still learning about live streaming. It's tricky managing that many cameras, trying to keep an eye on chat, etc. A lot of streamers are located in 1 spot like their desk. But I have to move around my shop to different work stations. I'll get it figured out soon enough. The thing with live streaming is that it is longform material. You see all of the raw details, including prepping, sanding, responding to chat, and messing with cameras. I did the sanding off camera, but I wanted to demonstrate how to piece together a pattern, how to apply it to your work material, and secure material for stack cutting. For those who don't know anything about scrolling, that's valuable to see it being done. So that's the reason I kept that part in. I also had to do some social media blasts to get people into the room and let them know I"m streaming live. Otherwise, I'd be talking to an empty room. There's lots to juggle. But, I'll get better with time. I think the way a lot of people watch live streams is to either leave it on in the background. They pop in and out of the process or have fun in the chat. People who watch are usually multi-tasking. It's a whole different beast with it's own subculture, which I find really interesting. The chat is like a typical chat room and not like a Skype call. So viewers can only type. Many times, the host will talk into the camera in response to a chat comment. It's actually better that way. Could you imagine if everybody is trying to talk at the same time! LOL. I also found out there is a 15 second delay or so. I think it's built into they system. I'm not sure if the whole channel is delayed 15 seconds, or just the video. Still learning, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. Twitch archives the live streams for 2 weeks. So if you missed it, but still want to check it out, you can see the recording here: https://www.twitch.tv/bytravis/profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Howdy all. I'll be streaming live from my shop in about 10 minutes (1pm, PST until 3-4pm PST). I'm cutting a Deadpool portrait. More information is at the beginning of this post. You can find me live here: https://www.twitch.tv/bytravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks everyone who joined me today for some scroll saw fun! I'll be streaming again next Sunday at 1pm PST. Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don watson Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the insight Travis. I had a look in last Sunday at your live stream and rather enjoyed it. I have just logged in and watched the first streaming which explained a lot about parcel tape, masking tape and double sided tape and there uses, very informative. Can't wait until tomorrow to catch the next episode. Well done and Thanks. take care Don W Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Howdy All. I'm online and streaming now! We should be able to finish up the Deadpool portrait in this session. You can watch live at: https://www.twitch.tv/bytravis If you're unable to catch the show, you can watch it later. Just go to the same link and the previous stream will be available. It just won't be live. When it's live, you can ask questions and chat a bit more, which is a lot of fun. Just a note, I won't be announcing my future streams in the forum. I'll probably only announce them in the shoutbox on the main forum page. I don't want to keep bumping old threads. If you want to keep up to date, follow me on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ThingsByTravis/ I'm also on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/byTravis There I'll announce when I go live.
