Messman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I finished another cutting today as well as some picture frames. I used the same picture frames for all the photo's because the others are still drying. Comments are welcome. This one is my Morning Dew pattern that I cut today. This is the one that had the most votes for the better of the two patterns. This is my friends wedding picture that I posted yesterday but I figured I would show what it looks like in it's frame. And this is my Morning Dew 2 pattern that I posted yesterday in a frame, again I figured I would show what it looks like framed. I also finally broke down today and picked up a chair that I can sit on while I cut. Up to today I had been standing because my saw is on my work bench. Well needless to say with all the cutting I have been doing lately my back is feeling it and I figured I had better start sitting so I can keep my back straight. now I have to figure out how to get comfortable cutting while sitting. Just another challenge I guess. As always comments are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oges Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Another good one Chris, and I don't blame you for wanting to get a chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagledrum70 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice work Chris and i have tried cutting sitting down ,but I just can't do it . I dont really use spiral blades very much I do most of my cutting with 2/0 blades , so I find it impossible to to cut sitting and try spinning my wood round and round. Do you use spiral blades ? Again very nice work and thanks for sharing Eagledrum70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolbeltman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Nice work Chris Thanks for sharing I tried cutting sitting down and got fed up of the lap full of saw dust....I need to take a closer look at Steve Good's set up...he seems to have it all planned out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Excellent cuttings Chris. Thanks for showing us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messman Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks for the kind words everyone. Glenn, Yes I am a spiral blade user. I used a 2/0 for the newest cutting. It was the first time I had used them, and I may have found the blade I had been missing from my arsenal. Doug I have my saw hooked to my dust collector (now that I fixed it yesterday that is). So I don't have to much of a dust issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolbeltman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Chris...I had my shop vac hooked up to the saw but wanted to throw it at the wall because of the noise...(scrollsawing is usually a quitet relaxing hobby)...and it would take small projects .....what do you use as a dust collector?...I thought of putting it outside and getting a longer hose but havn't got round to that yet...

Messman Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Doug this is what I use for dust collection http://www.harborfreight.com/2-hp-indus ... 97869.html For the price it is hard to go wrong, and it is a H@@L of a lot quiter than a shop vac. But then I turn out more (when I have the money for wood) more than just scroll work. You can also build a Noise box for the shop vac, I have read that it does quite them down, but I have to question the air flow aspect of it, but it is something you can look into.
