EVENTS
Faye led the discussion regarding the club’s demo held on Sept 5 at Woodcraft in Plano. Faye said the members attending had a good demo, but not a lot of customers were present. The store no longer carries scroll saws, but you can still order one from the store.
Mike from Seyco attended for a short while. One of our members, James Hunter attended and found out a lot from the demonstration. He also found that the bottom clamp on his saw was incorrectly attached. Once that was corrected, James said he is breaking less blades.
ASK THE EXPERTS
Jo Ann asked Harmon about how he thins his paint before applying it to his chess boards. He adds water and just paints it on so that the wood grain shows through. Jo Ann said she has earrings and wonders how it would be to dip them so that all the fretwork will get covered. All agreed she will need to try and then decide.
David Borg asked how do you paint or stain different colors on the same board. Several members said to tape off the area to protect from paint of stain running. It was also discussed to use a knife edge between the different colors. This knife line will eliminate run over staining.
James wanted to know where to get Corian. Advised to go to internet and put in cut offs for corian. It was also suggested to call counter top distributors to see if they have cut offs. Jo Ann also said that James would need a Polar #5 blade to cut Corian.
Jo Ann brought 2 boxes for small jewelry or tokens.
Bob showed us his compound cut nativity puzzle and several very fragile compound cut birds. He stated that he strengthened the fragil areas with super glue.
David Gross brought us his nativity Christmas tree cut from ¼ inch Baltic birch wood and accented it with a dark backer. The pattern is by Sue Mey NW950. You can get it either from Etsy or Sue Mey’s Website
Beverly showed us an animal puzzle from the woodworking magazine. She also discussed using a piece of wood that has a grain that shows up well with animal puzzles.
David Borg brought in several carved pieces which starts out being scrolled to cut away a lot of wood setting up the pattern for the carving.
Faye cut several small teddy bears and added 1/8 inch accent borders to show off the bears. This is a Sheila Landry design.
James Hunter brought in a plaque layered with a saying cut by his laser.
