The ScrollSaw Special Interest Group (SS SIG) was held today from 1 pm to 3 pm at Rick's shop in Black Hawk.
Attending: Ken, Bob, Kathie, Rick
Today's discussion centered on how to build a small working router for making 1/8" roundover passes. This is important in finishing off many smaller toy parts.
Projects discussed included various fretwork patterns such as a trumpet puzzle, Christmas ornaments, and a penguin. These were featured in the latest Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts Magazine.
Ken finished a box of toys at home, so transferred them to Bob to seal.
Show and Tell: Rick explained the techniques he uses to make the plexiglass windows used on the Turtle Banks. It is a combination of CNC router cutting the plexiglass, and a jig used to safely drill the holes for the brass pins used to hold the plexiglass to the turtle bank bodies.
