Wolfie Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yesterday I sawed up a storm! Here are the results! Today I wanted to varnish, but no time, no time! The first one is "undressed." I think it came out OK, but I need critique! The second one I added a rug, chair and some goodies! The last picture is the little wall mirror that I did. Not freehand, these were done with the saw!

Rhonda Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Fantabulous! I just love that cabinet. So do tell when are you going to branch out into the furniture making business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2craftnow Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Gina, you are on a roll!!! Fabulous pieces! I love the cabinet - just beautiful!! Love the design that it fits in the corner and you can display so many more items on it - how perfect. And your wall mirror is beautiful as well. You and Fluffy are mighty good together...and the results certainly show. Well Done!!! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twilight1000 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nice job, Wolfie! I especially like the cupboard - very clever design. And the carved edges are lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain tiny Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Man, I cant believe that anyone has the time, patience, and talent to make things like this. They are wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Very very nice!! You and Fluffy keep up the great work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Shucks folks! Twas nothing! You can make it too! It's a very simple design actually.....the only "fancy" things are the sides and the top.....that's all, and if old Wolfie can do it, so can you! So dust off those saws (if you got em) plug em in and go! I will be doing up another kind of corner cupboard one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Now that I've gotten a better look (earlier in the day & just had coffee!) I like the cupboard even better. If I go on a roll and try something like it I think I'd like to hinge doors to the sides to close it in between the lower shelf & the bottom. That will work so well in one of those too-tiny diningrooms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokelly Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It makes me want to pull my dad's old scroll saw out of the corner in the basement. I've never used it, but it's down there. Maybe someday this summer I'll pull it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alycemina Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 wow Gina - nice jobs. What kind of scroll saw do you have. I have a lot of trouble controlling my cutting even though I have practiced a lot. Do you do rought cut and then fine finish with other tools? Do tell/. Thanks Alyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Day Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Gina, They are both great. I really love the design of the corner shelf. Is there anything you are not talented at? No, don't tell me, it'll ruin it for me! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leahelizabth Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 If you are ever looking to do some sort of swap, you know where to find me.. or I could just outright pay you.. that corner cabinet is so fabulous.. as soon as I saw it, I could visualize a million different applications. Very, very nice job, just another reason I need to finally buy a scroll saw.. Lucky You!! Is there a emoticon for 'green with envy' ?

Does yours have varible speed? I used a sewing machine for over 40 years and find they are quite similar to operate. when you feel your cut going out of control, STOP. You can gently back your work out along the cut a bit. Check the tension on the blade. I go slow when I'm cutting a curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Alyce, My saw cuts so well I don't really have much finishing to do. I cut slow, and have my variable speed set about half way between real slow and very fast...LOL The DeWalt does all the work. I practice using various practice sheets that I have gleaned from people in the know. They really help to learn cornering and ccurves and the biggest thing is to be able to swing those pieces of wood around quickly. It's a technique I have learned from UTubes on Steve Good's Scrollsaw Workshop Blog. He's fabulous - free patterns, hints and tips, and all those wonderful utubes! I do have a set of riffling files for fretwork sanding, but my favorite sander is to glue sandpaper to a very thin coffee stirrer.....it really cleans up things nicely. I'm thinking about selling the corner cabinet! Can't sell the pattern because it's copyrighted, but I would be selling kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
