Subject: [Baren 18849] Scroll Saw

Maria,

Thanks for the run-down on the scroll saw.  The hugely expensive saw was a
band saw, I guess, that we observed at a county fair shortly after I fell in
love with hubbie. $300  He asked me if I wanted one, but I was smart enough
to say no. (Of course, all sane people yearn for a band saw so that they can
make inexpensive jigsaw puzzles for their grandchildren.  But we would have
had to build an addition to the house--my separate property that I owned
going into the marriage, that the historic preservation people also thinks
belongs to them--for the band saw and the rest of the woodworking tools.)
I'll go look at scroll saws this fall, after I finish paying the landscape
architect for a plan for the yard so that there won't be any more arguments
about unplanned additions in the middle of an emergency repair.  I might be
able to shoehorn a scroll saw into my basement along with all the art
supplies that I have been accumulating in anticipation of teaching art, just
in case the school doesn't have a budget for it, etc. etc, etc.  You know,
10 little saws from the 99 cent store, that kind of thing.  That's for
making little shakers and sticks for the preschoolers, a la the Early
Childhood Education course in art for children, part of my 12 required ECE
courses if I want to work in a child care center around here for minimum
wage.  (The third Art For Children college course I have taken.)  Don't say
they didn't teach us anything that we could make money at--those little
shakers and sticks (used by Montessori schools, I think) would probably sell
for a cool $25 for a set, if I wanted to go into business.  The idea was
that we could teach children how to handle a saw before they get so old that
all they think about is getting their civil rights, which includes resisting
the curriculum, like about the fifth grade level.  So if you have children
with a different agenda than the safety rules and procedures that have to go
along with the use of tools, then you should not tempt fate and give them
knives for woodcuts (and never under grade six).  Just teach them how to
make collagraphs and collages.  That's more appropriate for civil rights
activitists.

I wish someone who is in the know would talk about the advantage to buying
electric power tools that have a bag to collect the sawdust.  I feel like a
giant termite in a pile of railroad ties when I am using my cheapie power
tools.  Graham had a sander with a sawdust bag, so I don't know if that was
worth the price of admission, but pretty close.  Luckily, I have a back yard
and I can haul my bottom-of-the-line Sears table saw outside when I want to
cut wood.  Thanks to the federal student loan people for that one.

Louise,
I have tried removing the mold spots and have not been successful.  However,
I was able to stop them from getting any bigger.  I made my own batch of
rice paste for that bunch and forgot to put oil of cloves or alcohol in it.
Also I left it in the back of  the refrigerator for about 3 weeks.  Even
rice pudding will grow mold after three weeks in the frig.  It's a wonder
the bugs don't finish them all off when they are sitting around for months
and years.  Mmmm, yummy.  I wonder if they are union bugs!  (Sorry, bad
joke.)
Jean

Maria, I really like your print of the "outsider" spilling the beans, or is
it water or wine, I guess...  I do like pictures of nudes especially ones done
as tastefully and significantly as your prints are...* (See Archivist's note below) 

Cut!  Print!

Subject: [Baren 18852] Re: Scroll Saw 

Has anyone considered a jewelers saw?  Very very fine blade that breaks 
easily and supposed to leave only a very fine kerf.  I think it is similar to 
a very fine coping saw.  Haven't used one myself but it might be worth 
looking into.

I received the link in the mail this morning ... don't miss these

be a lot of questions about your work!)
