Wednesday, April 23rd, the Scroll Saw SIG was mostly dedicated to discussing different techniques. We discussed how some band sawn projects can be adapted to the scroll saw. I shared a failure I had that turned out to be too large still to do on the scroll saw. In a previous discussion with Jerry, he pointed out that the section too large for the scroll saw could be cut out on the band saw and then the remainder finished on the scroll saw. I completed that project as he suggested and then tweaked the pattern so it could be completely done on the scroll saw. I will post a photo of that project of 3 Giraffes.
I generally try to provide at least one project for the SIG members to try at our meetings. Members are always welcome to bring their own projects or choose one from my many patterns or pattern books that I bring with me. If you are going to bring your own project, I recommend that you arrive early so we can prepare some stock for your project. (Normally I am there an hour early.) The SIG runs from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. If you are having problems with your personal machine, feel free to bring it to the SIG and we will try to sort out your problems
