scroll saw bowls scroll saw bowls learn new and exciting ways to use your scroll saw welcome to my blog let what you see stimulate your imagination and inspire your own creations wednesday august 4 2021 pad sander flexibility one of the workhorses for makers of scroll saw bowls is the flexible pad sander invaluable for sanding the exterior of bowls and other curved surfaces these sanders come in 2 and 3 sizes and several different densities discs for these sanders available with or without scallops are attached with a hook and loop system this makes changing grits a snap i usually recommend the 2 size sander in standard density as a starting point this density is appropriate for wood removal and the 2 size is easy to manipulate the 3 pad is more aggressive and suitable for larger projects or those without petals or waves sanders with less dense foam pads are ideal for removing scratch marks left by coarser grits since they refine the surface without altering the shape of the wood they are available as complete sanding units or as add on pads that attach to the standard pads using the hook and loop system using an add on pad is an economical choice since a single sander can now function in two distinct ways the add on pads are also available in the standard density and can be used to extend the life of the sander the sanders shown in the photo are both 2 with standard density the one of the left has a standard density add on pad the add on pad for the one on the right is of thin foam thicker ones are also available posted by carole at 8 59 am 1 comments friday july 2 2021 still making sawdust it s been a while since i ve posted mainly because of recurring inappropriate comments but i ve never stopped making sawdust i continue to get my projects out there for others to enjoy or to use as springboards for their own creative work my bowl making has continued to evolve and a recent project making live edge bowls from crafts store rounds currently appears in issue 84 of scroll saw woodworking crafts whether you re a newcomer to my blog or a previous visitor feel free to check through years of entries for ideas inspiration and technical advice that never go out of date posted by carole at 2 00 pm 4 comments tuesday june 30 2020 a simple holder for coasters having made all those coasters i needed a way to turn them into gift sets this simple egg crate quick and easy to make was the perfect solution posted by carole at 10 32 am 1 comments labels coasters corian wednesday may 6 2020 covid 19 project i recently acquired a set of 4 corian sample tiles each had a small hole at the top which screamed out fretwork so i got to work created a bunch of patterns and started cutting i grouped the tiles in coordinated sets of four so they could be used as a trivet or individually as coasters still have three sets to go and i must say that i m getting to be a very skilled cutter posted by carole at 4 00 am 1 comments labels corian fretwork scroll saw tuesday march 10 2020 the corian base in use here s a simple way to use the base once it s shaped a bit look for more corian info and ideas in a future issue of scroll saw woodworking crafts posted by carole at 3 55 am 2 comments labels corian scroll saw woodworking and crafts friday february 14 2020 bending corian i never would have thought of doing this until i was introduced to the process known as thermoforming usually done commercially it can be done at home using a 325 oven with timing based on the thickness of the piece my first effort was shaped by hand using oven mitts i m in the process of making a mold to hold the shape until the piece cools this process certainly adds an extra dimension to what can be done with corian a material that looks like marble yet can be cut and shaped like wood posted by carole at 4 08 am 2 comments labels corian scroll saw thermoforming monday january 6 2020 a useful addition to my finishing supplies i ve recently added a new piece of equipment to my finishing supplies which has proven to be a big time and work saver my go to finish these days is shellac sometimes followed by coats of spray lacquer since i never use sprays in the shop my winter finish is brush on shellac i start with a one pound cut then add additional coats of either one or two pound cut buffing between coats with a well worn 320 grit sanding mop this creates a soft deep shine the new addition is a headlamp whose light can be aimed in three different positions the light reflects the shine off the bowl and easily shows up any missed spots or sags it also keeps my hands free to rotate the bowl although i think my next addition will be a turntable rescued from my cake decorating supplies you never know where you ll find your next woodworking tool

professional service to the scroll saw community sloan s will be closing its doors next week i bought my first blades from rhonda and david still have some small drill bits that go back many years and learned of weldbond my go to adhesive from their site best wishes to the sloan s for peace good health and happiness in the coming years you will be missed posted by carole at 11 53 am 2 comments wednesday october 23 2019 making dovetails with the scroll saw among the less well known capabilities of the scroll saw is the ability to do a large part of the cutting for dovetails the result is often much neater than can be done with a handsaw and chisels there is one important limitation while all components of the tailboard and the sides of the pinboard can be cut with the scroll saw the portion of the pinboard between the pins must be cut out with a chisel because the scroll saw cannot make the angled cut that is needed here s a photo of a tailboard that will become one side of a small drawer i tried my best to keep the cutting as regular as possible and am quite satisfied with the results posted by carole at 4 42 am 1 comments labels chisel dovetails scroll saw woodworking wednesday august 28 2019 double sided tape discovery i typically use double sided tape for stack cutting and double bevel inlay i had been using turner s tape which is extremely strong but sometimes overkill for my purpose when i discovered a thinner tape with adequate holding ability that was easier to remove called xfasten double sided tape i started using it instead of turner s tape the down side was that this tape cut poorly with scissors and the backing tended to separate prematurely when small pieces were needed the solution was quite simple attach an end of the tape to the workpiece unroll the amount needed and press it down then cut the tape with a razor knife the wood stabilizes the tape but you need to be careful not to score the wood as you cut posted by carole at 6 51 am 4

want it to but that should never stop you from trying view my complete profile followers a scroll saw is a real tool at the community woodshop where i used to do my work as well as in some woodworking magazines scroll saws are not considered real tools as i began to explore the potential of the saw i realized that i could achieve many of the effects obtained with those real tools and with much greater safety scrolling is fun and easy to learn so is cake decorating
