Now I understand.

Thank you. I've never heard the term before. I do recall the James Bond movie by the name "Dr. No" but no other references to it.

That same thing happened here in our mobile home park. Somebody tossed a smoke alarm in the dumpster and it started beeping. It drove my wife nuts so I finally had to go fishing around in the bin until I found it and did a smash job on it. It had a wired battery in it. No telling how long it...

Ok, I'll bite, what's a tardis?

My father called it a "star drill" and it was available in different diameters depending on how big a hole you needed. I watched him many time "drilling" a hole in concrete to install an anchor for some use. Time consuming but efficient for it's day. I have a hammer drill that does the same task...

Thanks, I didn't understand the post so I answered. This site is sort of confusing as to who is talking to who.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Everything I make is done with a scroll saw. I do use a router on some things but most of is just scroll sawn.

Here is something that I knocked out in just a few hours. An easy one. It was supposed to be a flower vase but I wanted to use it as a candle holder. I found a set of 2" diameter flameless candles, 2, 4, 6 inches each. This one is the 6". I had to alter the pattern a bit to allow for an opening...

Thanks for your offer. I'm not trying to do anything in particular at this time but if I come up with a need, I'll contact you. I am learning it a bit at a time and am actually succeeding in some things.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your explanation. I'm 79 years old but highly motivated to learn something. I am a scroller and most of us use Inkscape to make changes to patterns and also to create new ones. But, for the life of me, I can't seem to grasp the basics. Either I'm...

Is there a very long learning curve for the software creation? I'm fairly computer literate but know nothing about how to go about doing this. I'd appreciate any leads on how/where to learn to do the pattern creation. Thanks for any help.

I truly envy you folks who are adept at doing the "3-D" printing thing. I wish I knew how and I wish I had a printer. Next life.

I strongly disagree. This is a very nice piece and well done. Craftsmanship at its best.

All done on my scroll saw. I did have to use a router to create the hidden 1/4" deep x 3/8" wide rabbet inside of the top piece. The sides are all 3D compound cuts. About an hour each.

I just finished these. Still need to shoot some shellac on them. My wife liked the first one I made her so much she keeps me busy making them for gifts. I'm burning out on this pattern fairly fast. I hope you like them. About 15 hours in each one. A John Nelson pattern from the book Boxes Bowls...

I agree but it's the last thing you added where the problem comes in. We are in a hard way right now.

I agree. Also, I'm wondering just who can afford the Bessey style of bar clamps etc? I'd love to have some of them but at 79 years of age, it would be a very bad investment. Nice for my heirs but not for me. I'll just have to muddle through with what I have.

Most all clamp racks seem to be for all the same brand/type of clamps. My problem is that I have a mix/match selection of clamps. I installed brackets of wood on each of the studs in my shed. They are 20 inches apart. I bored holes in them just big enough to put 1 inch pvc through them so that...

Thanks Scrimper. I've got the same saw as you that you featured in your video. I love it and I'm going to make a table top similar to yours.

As mentioned above, spray adhesive stuck to the wood or onto tape works just fine. I use a heat gun to warm the patterns once done cutting and they come right off. Then a quick wash of mineral spirits takes off any adhesive residue left behind.
