Popular Post RabidAlien Posted April 25, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Been a stressful couple of weeks (very...), but I managed to get out into the garage enough this weekend to knock out two Steve Good patterns. These are going to a friend. Best part is, they both fit into one of those USPS pre-paid envelopes!!! ...for varying definitions of the word "fit". lawson56, Phantom Scroller, MTCowpoke22 and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so....its the mysterious "whiteboard" that is sold at Lowes, it was affordable, had a good grain, and is soft enough to leave a fingernail indention. Still managed to get a blade to twist at the base, though, so towards the end of the project I was cutting straight lines with the project held at a 45-degree angle. LOL The "teacher" one was some scrap plywood I had laying around. I was just going to mess around with it, not really intending anything, but the pattern turned out nice so I went ahead and did the base as well. Thanks, everyone!

RabidAlien Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thanks, all! Whether I do anything with the pieces I cut or not, time spent in front of my scrollsaw is really relaxing, calming, almost therapeutic...until I get done and stand up straight and my neck tells me exactly how long I've been hunched over. We're looking at relocating from the DFW metroplex to the Austin insanity here within the next month or so, so hopefully there will be time in there somewhere to get some more scrolling in, but realistically I'm probably looking at that long or longer before I get back to the garage. Maybe not. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should start selling them, people love stuff like that and you'll sell really fast!" (me) "Great! How many do you want?" (well-intentioned friend) "Oh, I meant other people. I don't want to buy anything, and nobody I know wants to buy anything so don't bother giving me a freebie to display. But *someone* will want blah blah blah...."
