Whisper Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 So far I've made a segmented butterfly, a segmented whale, a leaf trivet and a basket. They're not that great. I sure hope I get better at this. Right now I'm working on an intarsia butterfly. I used shelf paper and adhesive, but some of the pattern pieces starting coming off while I was sawing. Needless to say, that didn't help matters any. I still don't have my sanders put together and working, so all I have made so far have been hand sanded. I've got a ton of learning curves all at once, so it feels like I have 10 thumbs. OCtoolguy and new2woodwrk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Sounds like you are keeping busy with your saw and learning. One thing I learned is that around here, if you don’t show photos, it didn’t happen. so show us some of those projects. The more you cut, the better you get. I think we all have had that pattern lifting issue from time to time. Depending on how bad it is, I will go retape, apply some temp. Glue, or just try to hold it down to finish.

I think I am the only person alive who has no cell phone. I have tablets, but I need to figure out how to get a picture to post online with them.

OCtoolguy Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I long for the old days when the phone hung on the wall, but unfortunately a cell phone has become a necessity. I just wish the camera makers would have dreamed up a camera that also had a phone in it. Just sayin..... scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heli_av8tor Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Cell phones have all but killed the point & shoot camera market. At least the cell phone cameras have gotten very good. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
