What's New 8-15-10
It has been too hot this summer to work on the new mill, but now it's time to get started on it again. I had been thinking of buying a small bandsaw mill and mounting it on a trailer, but decided I want to go on with this project instead. I am starting on the new carriage this coming week, it will be a lot like the ProCut carriage I built for the first mill.
Starting in July you will be able to see some of my things at Oak Street Station in Leslie Arkansas, just off of highway 65 between Harrison and Clinton. You can click on the photo below to go to their website
I want to thank the Alaska Creative Woodworkers Association for bringing me up and being the most wonderful hosts a person could ask for. There are no words to describe the place or the people, it's just somewhere you have to experience to believe
If you are a member of a woodworking club or group and are interested in setting up a scroll saw class for fretwork or intarsia at your location, you can contact me at the address belowtj@tjswoodshop.com Over the years I have had many people ask me about cutting a portrait for them, I always tell everyone that portraits are just not my forte. Now if you want one cut, you should contact Charles Dearing at his website below. He recently sent me a pattern he made from a photo of me and I have never seen one any better, it was great! And for all the scrollers that visit here, he also has tons of beautiful patterns for salehttp://www.charlesdearing.com/
Woodweb.com just added my entire sawmill build page to their Knowledge Base under Primary Processing then Sawmilling. You can find it under Home-Built Portable Chainsaw Mill at the link below Woodweb.com
There is a small feature about my woodwork in the Fall 2009 Issue 36 of Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts magazine. It's in the section called Sawdust by Kathleen Ryan.
I have been replacing the photos on here with ones shot by a professional. His name is James McFadin and he does some beautiful work.Here is a link to his website.http://mcfadinphotography.smugmug.com/ The three photos here on my homepage were shot by him and you can see his other photos in my Fretwork and Intarsia galleries. I think you will notice which ones are shot by the professional. If you get a chance, you should go and look at his website and make sure to check out the his rodeo photos. He does weddings and proms and is also available to come and shoot your events.
