Hello from Shepherdsville KY

01-02-2012, 10:26 AM

Hello and Greetings from Shepherdsville KY. About 20 miles south of Louisville KY. I have been wood carving in the round for about 4 years. Have done some turning, mostly christmas ornaments and enjoy the challenges that I find.
Recently acquired a used scroll saw from one of the members of the Wood Carvers group I belong to, Falls Cities Wood Carving Guild. Looking forward to trying a few simple patterns to get my feet wet.
Would welcome talking with anyone and everyone about wood working in general. Especially those member living around this area.
Also, look forward to getting more into this blog and learning more about the members, their work, and what challenges I can find. Happy 2012 to everyone.

I see you are using a #5 blade. A #56 Micro drill bit is recommended. Maybe a smaller blade and drill bit.

Diana was truly a fine pattern maker. Compound scrolling is one of my favorite things to cut. I give lessons on compound cutting and I always start with Diana's mini birdhouse. People are amazed when the little house or bird pops out.

My favorite memory is cutting child awareness angels....

This can be a problem when you are cutting a line - also known as veining. You need the hole size to be as close to the blade size as possible. I picked up a set of micro 150 drill bits from Amazon for around $10.00 a few years ago. These bits go much smaller than #55.

The other option...
