Delicate ornament cutting.

[Rolf]

I like every thing about that sign. What font is it.?

[Rolf]

Nice selection! Try to stay warm, I have not and probably never will do an outside event. Unless maybe one on the 4th of July if I ever manage to make enough Intarsia pieces. Good luck with your sales....

[Rolf]

That would be nice! The last three were amazing.. I also realize how much work they were for the staff and all of the volunteers....

[Rolf]

Very nice!!

[Rolf]

Sorry, but my ornaments may be late as I can't get to doing them until after our last fair on the 4th.

[Rolf]

Betty Red heart! Wow you are spoiling your customers.

I did not do well when I had either the MAC mop, sanding drum or the Wonder wheel mounted in my drill press. It is up too high and harder to control. I bought the Sand Flee back in 2005 at the first Scroll saw picnic I ever went to at Fox Chapel. Having the auxiliary chuck on the side is really convenient....

[Rolf]

WOW! what beautiful fun toys for a great cause. I really like the race cars. Someone has some serious painting skills!

[Rolf]

Thanks for the nice comments.

Karl I sand all of my ornaments, mostly to soften the edges as there are not many fuzzies. with this blade. I use a spindle mounted MAC mop, 240 grit. I support the ornament on a piece of wood then run it under the mop both directions and sides. I have been...

I have always used Olson 2/0R 28TPI blades for my small ornaments. I stack cut 7 1/16 thick BB and have switched to the Pegas MGT 2/0 R 15 TPI. It cuts so much faster.
The pattern is a Sue Mey window hanger that is 10 x 9.5 inches. I reduced it to 4 x 3-3/4 to fit in our ornament boxes. Awesome...

[Rolf]

You really captured the face!

Sorry Judy without looking at the saw in person up close it is almost impossible to diagnose.
Scot is right if we had a video with sound it would help a lot.

[Rolf]

That is a beautiful design! Will you keep it or do you have plans for it?...

[Rolf]

Were they curious about what you were going to do with them? You should take the finished piece in after you are done.
What pattern did you get?

[Rolf]

I used it for the first time this summer on maple, I really like how it feels and looks. The clear does tint the wood a bit.. I have both the clear and the darker version....

[Rolf]

I use white lithium grease as it is what I have on hand but Scott is correct I think any good quality grease is fine. I think that the synthetic grease won't dry up like some of the others.
On two of the machines the small bearing in the pitman arm had a red grease that had pretty much solidified....

[Rolf]

I did these beveled inlays in my normal ornament stock 1.5mm(.059") it is a Sheila Landry design. I attached a Chart that I created for my inlay calculations. Based on your thickness I would say 4.5 to 5 degrees.

Doing sample cuts like Don and Carole suggested is important. I have...

I have also received my list only 5 names.

[Rolf]

You all never cease to amaze me.! Thanks for once again putting a smile on my face..

[Rolf]

My condolences and prayers for you and your family.
