Woodworking Show

Hi guys,

Well, we went to the woodworking show in Victoria on Sunday. Since I am mainly interested in the scrollsawing bit of wood, that is mainly where I stuck. I saw some pretty darned impressive pieces there that made me very envious. Spoke to some of the members of the Mid Island Woodworking Club ( I think that was the name of it) and listened to one of the seminars on scrolling, picking up a couple of good hints.
As for my new DeWalt....when I switched my blades originally to Flying Dutchman, I was amazed at the difference in cutting. I find the same thing now that I am using the DeWalt for scrolling.....WOW like a hot knife through butter. Have to get used to the way she cuts though

What's that old saying?? A bad day scrolling is still better than the best day working??

Good to hear you had a great time Sarah. I am looking forward to Friday.
I have to do a three hour stint in the BC Wooden Toymakers Booth, but that is a small price to pay.

Best thing is...it is Payday
I may even be able to afford a hotdog!

Whatever way you decide to do if you are happy and your brother in law is happy it was a good idea. If you really want to be brave use it as a learning experience. Make several of them using different suggestions and see the difference....

Well, unfortunately, I have also decided to let my subscription lapse. I've been debating it for the past couple years. It isn't so much the money, but it's more the disappointment when yet another issue has so little in it that really appeals to me. The final straw was this past Fall/Winter edition...

Thanks to all !😀 Your comment are very good and make sense!

My piece is 8"X8" X 1/2" thick.
I though when I cutted the piece to do it in 1 piece or 4/5 , but after a while I decided to do it in one piece and carved it to have a 3D aspect.
Was it a good idea.....?...

Great designe! I would have gone a bit further than Linda, Scott and Gladefade I would cut it into more pieces to make shaping easier. Taper the clouds from right to left, taper the wings so that they are lower where they attach to the body. Taper the neck so that it looks like it is going into the...

The never ending dilemma. I only get two magazines SSWWC and Wood carving Illustrated. Even if I don't make something in every issue there is usually something in each one that I have never tried and that will either challenge or inspire me. Yes I know that I do test cutting for them and they have occasionally...
