The Birds Have Spoken!

10-29-2011, 08:12 AM

I am guessing I have been spending too much time out in the garage-shop lately and not enough time talking to my parrot and macaw, Biggie and Zasu. They became very loud and boisterous so...I took some small scraps and made them toys too. They seem much more content.

(Probably not the type of toys you were expecting to see...just a good idea on getting rid of non-toxic scraps.)

Happy birdies are quieter birdies. LOL I have a Pionus parrot who can really make a racket if he thinks he's been ignored too long.

A clean house is a sign of a broken scroll saw!

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...
