A Few Ornaments - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Jediscroller · 09-29-2009, 04:28 PM

Just getting ready for fairs. I whipped out a few more cross ornaments this morning to cut and figured I'd post them here for folks who might want them. There's a Fleur-de-lis cross, gothic cross and a star of bethlehem ornament.

Thanks Kevin. Those look great.
I'm wondering why a .pdf file won't open for me, they automatically go into save as mode? I must have something clicked somewhere, any Idea how I unclick it? This is getting to be rather annoying.

Thanks, Kevin. for the ones you sell, do you use plywood or hard wood?

Mike,
If you're using Firefox, there's no plug in to allow you to view PDFs without saving the files and opening them up.

IE has a plugin to allow you to open PDFs in your browser.

Mike,
When I click on it, I get a box that says "Open," "Save," and "Cancel." I couldn't find an option anywhere in my Adobe Reader about opening or saving. Hopefully someone will come along who can explain it.
OK, Bob came along and explained it as I was typing, hehehehe.

Ray, I exclusively use hardwoods for my ornaments, typically 1/8" thick.

Thanks now I know...It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out where I clicked something. Sheesh.Thanks again.

I do use firefox almost exclusively...it has all my favorites update in it.

BobD · 09-29-2009, 04:45 PM

Yeah...that's my one complaint about firefox...

Do you resaw wood to that thin, Kevin, or do you plane it down?

Bob

Bob,
I resaw it and run it through my drum sander. The beauty of the drum sander is that I can use cut-offs from other projects and scraps that are only 6" long or so. I can typically get (3) 1/8" pieces out of a 1/2" thick piece of wood or 4 or 5 out of a 3/4" piece (more if it's rough lumber though).
