Whisper Posted January 14, 2020 Report 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. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote
meflick Posted January 14, 2020 Report 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. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote

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, meflick and new2woodwrk 2 1 Quote

OCtoolguy Posted January 14, 2020 Report 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
Heli_av8tor Posted January 14, 2020 Report 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
