GrampaJim Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Just doing the cutting is not the end of the project. This took a tumble and didn't survive. I had thought of gluing the pieces back together - if I could find them. There is only so much time this old guy is willing to spend on the floor looking for pieces. And that's why we have a scrap bin for firewood. Of course, none of you all ever have these kind of problems - right??? OCtoolguy, SCROLLSAW703, wombatie and 3 others 1 5 Quote

Fran L Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Sorry that happened. That had to be frustrating. Doing my Intarsia Eagle, one of the claws just didn't fit right no matter how I sanded it. Decided to recut it--still not right, did another one--it was perfect. Had to sand it down to height on my belt sander. Thought I'd be smart and get a tight hold on it with a pair of pliers--nope, shot that thing across the basement, bouncing off walls, couldn't find it. Did one more, wasn't perfect but worked.

WayneMahler Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 I'm sure there have quite a few of us that have experienced this. I am definitely a member of that club. Sad to see this happen but know your in good company. OCtoolguy and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote
RabidAlien Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Ugh. I hate when that happens. Dropped a piece or two, myself. OCtoolguy and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote

kmmcrafts Posted February 3, 2019 Report Posted February 3, 2019 Yeah, done that a couple times, LOL.. one time was when the product had been sold and I was packaging it up for mailing it out.. Nothing like rushing out to the shop to get another made right away so I can mail it out in a timely manor, LOL Also done the custom pattern for someone with the name spelled wrong and didn't know it until I sent them pictures of the finished piece.. LOL SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
edward Posted February 3, 2019 Report Posted February 3, 2019 Been there done that, sometimes it worked for me and sometimes it didn.t. I was able to find the piece and glue it back on. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
Scrappile Posted February 3, 2019 Report Posted February 3, 2019 I bet the only people that hasn't happen to or will not happen to sometime are people that do not scroll. I figure it is part of the hobby and if it can't be repaired, then I get to scroll it over. OCtoolguy, RabidAlien and kmmcrafts 2 1 Quote
stoney Posted February 3, 2019 Report Posted February 3, 2019 Yep, been there done that several times. That is what is commonly referred to as designer firewood. Just think of it as your practice piece and now you are ready to cut it for real. LOL kmmcrafts, OCtoolguy and SCROLLSAW703 3 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 When I was doing the compound cuts for the votive holder that I just finished, I started out using aromatic cedar because I couldn't find any red cedar. Well, I got a couple of them cut and then I ran into a piece that had a definite color change between the red and white wood. When I took it out of the tape, the piece literally split right along that color line. And all the rest of my wood had that same color line running through it. So, I had to change over to mahogany and recut all the pieces that I had already cut. But, as Stoney says, it's called practice. I love it. SCROLLSAW703 and RabidAlien 1 1 Quote

So what you're saying, CEDAR in general is malicious and vindictive and if its not killing you with pollen, its splitting your work. LOL SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote

LOL Not at all. I just couldn't find any "red" cedar that has more consistent color/grain. Not sure what you mean by pollen killing you, etc. Did I miss something? RabidAlien 1 Quote

At times you can see the pollen pods on the cedar trees popping and cedar dust billowing out on the wind. There were calls to 9-1-1 reporting fires in parks and ranches it was so bad. Texass cedar pollen season (December-ish through March-ish) royally sucks. Allegra only does so much to help against it. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

I had no idea about the cedar pollen season. All we ever have around here is mold and mildew and Santa Ana winds. RabidAlien 1 Quote
