    Yesterday I had the opportunity to sell my stuff again at the VA hospital. This was my second day, the first was about a month ago. After expenses, I came home with around $450, so I think I did pretty good. It also opened up more opportunities for me. A lot of people loved my work, and I was invited to sell at other VA’s in our region. It was just dumb luck that I was set up on the day this hospital was hosting a meeting with all the regional canteen directors. I made quite a few contacts I will be following up with this week. I would saw I did good. Aside from sells, I made opportunities. Hopefully I can make this work.

    Productive Weekend

    frankorona and 3 others reacted to jbrowning for a topic

    Well, I had a pretty productive weekend. I cut out a motorcycle, Christmas Tree (Iggy's pattern) and a Jigsaw Cowboy Boot. I won't bore you all with the motorcycle but here is the Christmas Tree and Cowboy Boot. These are all made out of 3/4" Poplar cut out on my Hegner.

    I've only been doing scrolling for a few weeks and only done 'little' things in plywood, but was feeling rather pleased with myself as I seemed to be getting the hang of it. However, my saw and my wood both taught me a lesson today. 1) Don't try cutting patterns that have 'pointy' bits with plywood as the layers come apart. 2) Only do scrollwork when you are calm + collected. I was a little tense today and had gone to the workshop to take time out, but I broke my first blade today and it made me jump out of my skin. It may be a day or two before I pluck up the courage to go near the machine again.

    Plywood and real sharp points don't work well Baltic birch helps but does not eliminate the problem. Working tense on any machine is not a good idea the scrollsaw how ever will not take a finger on hand unless you really want it to. Afterwhile a broken blade will become just another day at the office. Keep at it your work has looked very good. Fredfret

    Foxfold and one other reacted to Rockytime for a topic

    I have only broken a blade once on my Hawk but when I did I thought I would jump out of my skin. On occasion I will start the saw forgetting to flit the tension lever. That makes a bit of a racket and kinda startles me. I can only scroll for about two hours before my eyes tire. I scroll a couple of hours in the morning and again in the afternoon or evening. Sharp corners work with plywood by using appropriately small blades and preferably a few reverse teeth at the lower end of the blade. Don't give up. You'll get it with a little practice.

    Things I've tried

    Lucky2 reacted to Foxfold for a topic

    I'm very, very new to this hobby of 'making' stuff, so I've tried several different things. A scrollsaw Butterfly, A 3d Reindeer, burning wood and an ornament from the forum book. I guess I'll settle down and chose just one thing to do, but for now I'm enjoying the freedom of retirement and flitting from thing to thing.

    Thanks Scrappile, I made a 45deg jig for the table saw. Sit the box in it with the blade set to cat 6mm into the cnr and make a cut in each cnr. I then glued a feather of Jarrah into the saw cut and planed and sanded it flush with the box..

    Looked again John and I really like the way you do the corner joints with the dark strip up them. Do you glue a dark piece to each piece before you cut the 45 deg. joint? However you do it it really looks nice.
