Howdy all.
As a scroll saw expert of two months, I thought id pass along this experience so others may learn from my knowledge. I purchased a scroll saw video and watched as this guy cut out the Mona Lisa in just two seconds spinning the wood like a top. Of course I said no problem I can do that. So off to the garage.
First a few definitions of some terms you’ll see.
zzzrrrrr = means saw is happy and cutting
deedum = im happy and cutting
Aghaaa = something unexpected scared me to death
chinka…chinka = the blade came out of one side of the holder and saw is still running.
Whampa…….Whampa = the blade caught in the wood and is beating the table to death.
Hmmm… = don’t have a clue of what I need to do next
Yelp= stepped on dogs tail instead of on off switch.
Nooo = telling the blade to stop cutting
Oops= the detail I worked on for the last hour just got destroyed.
Ouch= spilled hot coffee on lap
honey= wife is asking if im done playing yet, and ready to rake the leaves.
Lets see what to make…… how about a mountain scene with eagles flying over the water scooping up fish and dropping them into a fisherman’s basket. Sound simple enough, should be done in 10 minutes.
First I get a piece of pine….and im ready to go.
Hmmmm…….
Let there be power….. zzzrrrrr….. .deedum…deedum……..ouch…...honey.
Ok just a small cut here…… Nooo…..Yelp….oops
well maybe I’ll wont do the fisherman.
Zzzrrrrr ….deedum….deedum….deedum…..boy im good…… Whampa…….Whampa..….chinka…chinka …. Aghaaa ........Hmmmm
20 min later got a new blade in………Zzzrrrr…….oops……..honey
Well I guess we don’t need all the tress in the background.
I’ll cut one tree…..Zzzrr……deedum…deedum…Nooo....yelp...oops
OK not a tree maybe a small bush…Zzzrrr....dedum….. Whampa … Aghaaa …ouch…….honey
Ok no trees.. Zzzrra . Whampa…….Whampa..….chinka…chinka …Nooo. Aghaaa
Ok just the lake ….Zzzrrr…deedum…dedum….honey…….. “just a little longer dear“ Nooo….…..Yelp….oops… ****.
Ok…. no polluted lake, stupid bird, dumb trees or idiot fisherman.
All that’s left of the pattern is a straight line, im going for it
Zzzrrrr… deedum…deedum ..a perfect cut….**** im good
Lets see what to make tomorrow, I think ill try the Golden Gate bridge with a cargo ship passing under and a jet flying over it, should take about 10 min……Hmmmmm….
