Dragonkort Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Iv been working on my wizzard fret work mostly at my saw, so decided to finish some things i have shoved in a boxs.... I love doing the compound cut patterns and im sure the rest of you do this too. I dont throw away the side pieces most of the time, i toss them into a box, and then when it gets to hot to scroll in the wood shop I grab a box of what ever needs to be finished and make myself at home at the kitchen table. lol this time i decided it was time to work with the compound cut wast wood. Now what i do is this IF on the inside of the side piecees have to many different thickness i carefuly take the peice to my saw and saw down the higher parts and then finish it with my dremal... most of the work is done with the dremal making that side flat or carved so it looks right. that way i get 3 or 4 projects from one compound cut. when there finished i make magnets out of them , or glue them to crocheted headbands, or use them for inlays or what ever comes to mind at the time lol i know im not expling this to well but the pictures will help make it clear and like i said im sure you guys do this too so you'll really understand what im trying to saywhen you see the pics ok well of course the pics arent all in order but the first 2 pics are of the little tub i throw the my compound cut waist pieces. The next 3 pictures are of the wizard pattern im cutting out...the left side is where i made the inside cuts just in case you cant tell. the next 3 are of the compound cut and waist pieces all done and painted, I have to glue the wiggle eyes on the bunnys and frogs they just have to have the finishe put on them the 3 snowmen i made out of the wast from the pencle bunny topper i got on here.... i crocheted each one a hat and scarf and im going to go see if i can find some small enough brances in that big pile of sticks and brances we have in the back yard, if i do i'll give them arms lol the last 2 pictures are of some of the peices im working on now. lol now remember i DIDNT cut all of these things out now, im just taking the ones in the box and finishing them.... now i know i can put a plastic bag over my foot so sawdust dosnt get in the toe but before i can do more work on them i have to find a way to prop up my left foot while at the kitchen table. lol same with the sawing...have to find a way to prop up my foot as they want it elevated. im sure i'll think of something!! unless of course spike has a fit about my doing woodworking with a stithed up foot. lol im glad he didnt live with me when i was younger and totaly housebound, i dont think he could have handled it. lol i had to dr myself up when ever i got hurt... or sick lol it was not aways a pretty sight!! lol well im going to get off here and see if i can figure out a way to prop my foot so i can do some more work on those cast off pieces Woodrush, amazingkevin, Dave Monk and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkort Posted July 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 lol yup.... lol a motto i have ALWAYS lived by. lol This to drives poor spike up the wall lol he often says cant you throw ANYTHING away? lol When he first came here he saw the 2 wooden tulps on the kitchen sink and couldnt understand why i was using those as nick nacks on the sink when i had a lot of other things that were so much prettyer and better made... then one day he saw plastic food storage and sandwich bags hanging on them upside down... so of course he wanted to know why. lol well so we can reuse them of course...no sense tossing them away as long as theres no holes in them they can be washed and reused and the tulips are there to dry them on.... iv made a ton of them for people who have asked for them so im not the only one who does it... i dont do it often anymore though as spike constently tells me we can afford to buy new bags....lol but thats not really the point.... its the recycling that lowers my green footprint. i save all kinds of things that drives him nutts....lol poor man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
