It has been awhile since I have posted here. I have been up in my shop messing around, but its been mainly to work on my tools, get shit together ya know?
That deal with the bandsaw really put me in my place and like getting back on a horse if you get bucked off, I perhaps should have took that advice with the bandsaw. But live and learn. Then just when I did get "back on the horse" I think my band saw now needs to be laid to rest. I think its done, dead, through, kaput, over with etc.
So I am down to all my scroll saws, sounds funny huh? all my scroll saws. I do happen to have a few. All used and old but great deals.
Using just a scrollsaw when working on tiny projects with hard wood has become a challenge in itself. I did not realize just how much I depended on that old band saw. But I just wanted to post this pic of this little pelican I have just cut with nothing but a scrollsaw. As you can see he does not even have his feet yet. LOL!!! I think he is going to be a piece of a much bigger picture. A dear friend gave me 3 huge boxes of end cuts of hard woods and I am dying to make something big, like a picture. So it looks like this one tiny pelican just may have a whole picture made around him.
