2 patterns for one basket. They aren’t glued yet. I’ve had these patterns for years. I make one set occasionally. I have a customer that wants something different so I’m sure she will like these. The challenge is the glue up. 3/8” walnut Bruce sliced for me #3R Pegas MG blade. Thinking price of $60 each. Will post pic when done.

Looks great, the glue up on these layered baskets is the part I don't like.Rolf

Not yet Jim. The corners of the baskets to appear to be drawn by hand or just a bad copy. The price might go up. Thanks Linda. For some reason I really like doing layered baskets. And my customers like buying them. Bruce read a blacklight shows glue spots. Guess what he bought me from harbor freight to do my glue ups? A blacklight flashlight. It does work.Betty

Back in my days of collecting antique pottery, I used to carry a a small blacklight unit to check for repairs that were invisible to the naked eye. I never knew that it could detect glue spots. That's a lot neater than using mineral spirits, or waiting until a sealer coat of shellac reveals missed spots. Thanks for the tip!

SLRA does a “spot” check. He’s lucky I’m keeping him around. It was free with a purchase at harbor freight. When people pick up a basket to examine, usually first time customers, they inspect everything for glue ups, drill holes, etc. of course, I don’t think half of them know what they are looking for. Then ask what kind of a laser do I use. Then when I tell them the process, they’re hooked! New, repeat customer. Maybe I need to raise my prices.Betty

I doubt there will be many, if any, Carole. Bruce reads a lot and comes up with some of the unusual most useful things.Betty

I needed a small flashlight for the house and right next to the correct size I needed was a UV flashlight and after reading this thread, I put it in cart as well. Probably overpaid, but I have had other black lights in my younger days and liked playing them, so young Jim will get to tinker with old Jim's new device.Jim

by John Smiththanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...Yesterday, 07:21 PM

by handibunnyVery impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.Yesterday, 06:31 PM

by John SmithThis is the finished project that I sort of "allured" to in my New Member post. The elements were cut out and attached individually in a "layered applique" fashion. Simple hand tools were used to add some "texture" to all of it. This is not wood or leather, it is HDU (High...Yesterday, 03:32 PM

Reply to New from Port Angeles Washingtonby Rodney BrownWelcome from NC. As a past drone pilot, I'd say take the scroll saw. the drone will become boring after a time where the scroll saw is only limited to the patterns you decide to cut.
