woodworking while barefoot, I thought I was the only one who did that!! I like this project! The scroll saw intrigues me, I do not have one, but feel I should master the band saw before I attempt any Scroll Saw projects!
Woodworkers are their own worst critics. I would imagine if you did the exact same project again it would turn out better than before and so on and so on. That's how we refine our skills. I think it turned out great and a day in the shop where you come out with all ten fingers is a good day none the less. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for all the scroll saw tips! I wouldn't worry about pushing your limits, it's nice to see things not always work out perfectly! People learn a lot from seeing someone else's learning curve!
Following through is the important lesson here. It’s one that I developed, finally, much later in life than you. Now when I screw up a treasure box I just modify it in a way that can still be useful as a container for nuts and bolts or bits and screws. I recently watched a boat builder video on UA-cam, “MV Seeker”. At the end of one episode the guy says something to the effect of: “Cheap tools have their place as long as they are safe to use. Don’t let the inability to buy expensive tools keep you from fulfilling your dreams.” I liked and subbed to you both. Thanks, hang in there, you’re on the right track.
I don’t think you need to be so self-critical. I can’t do what you did as I am now learning. Your presentation and humility are much appreciated. I will be watching your future and past projects. Your work is impressive. Thanks for sharing.
I think you're doing a GREAT job! Don't feel like you can't do something without certain tools, I enjoy seeing how people come up with solutions and non typical ways of using what they have to complete a project. keep at it!
Can I share my thoughts? For me, this was time and data well spent! Not everyone who is into wood crafting or making projects have all the tools to start off with. It is a learn as you grow journey. You made a project that works and is a gift~able project. Anyone that receives this would be very happy! Not knowing any difficult issues you may h ave had. I will add you have a good solid deliverance! Easy to listen to and watch. You explained the process and why. I enjoyed and learned! Thanks for posting! ~Suzanne
I think you did alright, Sterling. Not every project is a winner, sure. But this one is still in the running so don't beat yourself up. You tried and you learned some things in the process. Keep your head up and forge ahead! Nice work on the video too.
Sterling, I just subscribed on the strength of your closing comments. I can so relate to what you say. In fact I'd go as far as to say that I'm always getting ahead of myself .... still, every time I mess up, I take comfort in knowing that it's all part of the learning curve. The only difference between myself and the competent woodworker is experience. What better way to learn than making mistakes. I look forward to your next challenge.
I learn everyday, and appreciate you for the kind words, please feel free to share your work on my social medias, I would love to see what your working on, Thanks for checking it out
hey sterling: don't be so hard on yourself. I really like the keepsake box.I see nothing wrong with it. it was a project that looked good by my eye. keep up the good work
I, for one, do not believe it was an epic failure, I believe it was a project of discovery. You have my complete support in what you are doing and what you choose to do in the future. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch.
Sterling, Good video. Don't worry so much about the learning curve, we all have to deal with it. Try good old reverse tooth painless blades next time you try the pinless blades. They work just like the pinned ones just require a smaller starting hole.
***** Don't be so hard on your self, not every project will turn out exactly the way you want it. Make it one compartment, put a lid on it, think outside the box, whatever, just keep going. You have great ideas and keep challenging yourself - its the only way we grow as woodworkers.
I know the feeling, but you know sometimes when you screw up it really gets the creative juices running and you come up with something even better than what you planned.
Sterling, I would imagine that the number of wooden chairs in the "failure" pile is huge the the wood worker that invented each one first tried. I am know from experience the number of cakes/pies/baked goods I tossed out when I started baking was quite a few. (it got better when I worked in a professional kitchen, but that's not where I started). People have been making beautiful wood projects with hand tools for centuries. I am sure to a maker, they wanted "one more tool" to ease the burden. I have watched your work for some time now, and like your name suggests it has been sterling. I only know one maker that is perfect, and I look forward to an eternity with Him. Keep trying, keep working, and look for the good in what you learned not the imperfections that are part of learning. Just remember, one of the more expensive stamps in the world has a plane on it that was printed up side down. God Bless - Annie
Sterling it's all good my friend! I can relate .... My first 4....FOUR... UA-cam projects were true failures. As you know not every project is going to come out exactly like we want it but one things that made me feel better was Peter Brown just telling me just remember to have fun with it. I do admit you had such a look of disgust I thought you were going to toss it! Keep doing your thing!
Thanks Adam, I think i was just trying to hard to push something out, and rushed into something to soon, I got to slow down, and stop trying to please subscribers as much as I need to be pleasing me, not that that are not appreciated, THEY ARE, You are, Truly, But I was losing touch with why I even started this channel, Got to get back to basics and continue learning
It's all about trial & error mate ,we don't get good a something over night , I to don't have all the tool I need but you just fined ways around it , take care & keep them a coming god bless
You did great! I've been scrolling for over 35 years and I've had my share of defeats like one I'm currently facing...cutting oak leaves out of 2 inch hardwood. I have two going at once only because the first is 1 1/2 in. thick black walnut with 1/4 inch canarywood on both sides. The second is 2 inch ambrosia with 1/4 inch pieces of babinga on both sides. I attempted to cut these out with a scrollsaw using #9 Olson plain end blades and was cutting about one inch every two to three hours! I started on the black walnut, put it aside thinking the ambrosia would be easier and that too was a failure! I really got discouraged thinking I was going to have to scrap this wood. I started trimming the pieces with my 10 inch bandsaw and it clicked! I cut lines into the nooks with my bandsaw then followed the patterns and it worked! Don't get discouraged! I also cut out chesspieces out of 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inch blocks of wood and some are miserable failures that my wife thinks are beautiful! That's called "compound cutting". I really get frustrated and back off and try again later with better results! You can do this!!! Be determined! Don't give up brother!
sterling you should always push your abilities and try to do things even if you don't know how they will turn out,if you stop trying to advance and only do what you know you can accomplish with ease it's like not trying to move ahead at all,i would rather watch someone try to push there limits even if you have to do it over and over,or maybe even fail at a project,because you never really fail you as long as you try and learn something from it,all the best to you and yours
I think it's a lovely little box! You're beating yourself up. We are always our own worst critics. I would love this kind of box to sit atop the dresser and hold rings and bracelets and such. Or it would be a nice coin holder for my husband's pocket change too. A little trinket box is great for all types of treasures! Just keep plugging on Sterling. You did a great job. If we didn't make mistakes, we'd never learn anything new. Cheers. And thanks for sharing.
Spiral blades are very unforgiving. They are unique in that they are omni directional. I stumbled upon double tooth pinless blades and I find them to work really good on thicker cuts and compound cuts. They cut clean and noticeably faster.
That first sentence should read: Sterling, I would imagine that the number of wooden chairs in the "failure" pile was huge, for the wood worker that invented each style of chair.
Thanks for the video. I watch a lot of woodworkers on UA-cam and thought this video was informative and helpful. Thanks for trying something different. And what is perfect anyhow???
Good video, good information. Nice to see humility, but allowing one self to make mistakes is a key to life. Took me years to learn that. I’m 58 and just starting woodworking, the biggest obstacle I have to overcome is discouragement. So far I am really good at making scrap wood 😂😂.
There’s a old saying about mountain climbers that can be applied her. “The way to learn how to climb mountains is to climb mountains “ ! When learning nothing is a failure, I call it practice. How else can you evaluate your skill level except to work up until you fail. It’s not unusual to set your expectations higher than your skills. Lastly don’t through your failures away , keep them in plain sight and with ever attempt keep looking back at them.
I think the project turned out well--but if you feel you need to take a different approach, more power to you. I've been woodworking for over 15 years, and I have at least 4 "failure" projects laying around my shop--if nothing else, they tend to teach us something. It happens to all of us!
hey Sterling, I've used those sanding strips too but what works better for me is cutting thin strips out of old belt sanders. Not sure how you would work it with a pin but I use pin-less blades and the strips fit right in, they tear in half eventually but you can cut a lot of strips from one old sanding belt. By the way, what do you think of those spiral blades? I get a lot of ridges on the sides of the cut but I may just be inexperienced with them
not a big fan of spirals right now, but have upgraded to a Dewalt Scroll Saw, so we will see how that works out, Thanks for checking it out and for the the sanding tips
Sterling Davis Spiral blades take some getting used to, but I couldnt imagine doing a portrait without them. Grats on the dewalt...i want one or the delta equivelent.
sterling do you still have your skil bandsaw? I have the same one and I can't seem to get everything adjusted right to where the saw works well. It's always binding up and I can never seem to cut curves nearly as tight as I feel I should be able to
it is down in my building, I never could get it to cut right either, my uncle upgrade his bandsaw and I got his Delta now, those corner top bandsaws are just not good for what I want to do, i am sure they have a purpose , i just couldnt figure it out lol
If you don't push yourself to "reach" a little further once in a while you won't progress and get better. Keep pushing yourself and you will see the improvement. Thanks for the video. :)
Sterling, don't be so hard on yourself, just like the saying 'You can never have enough clamps" the same goes for the size of our shops and the tools in them- never big enough and always needing this or that. The upgrade in tools bring us to the next step only when we realize the need. So...get back out there and make something, anything, even if its wrong : )
Not having the tools don't bother me, they will come with time, I just need to stop trying to make stuff that needs those tools lol, just got to back up a little and simplify thinks, Thanks for watching and for your Support,
The only way it could have been an epic fail is if you thought it and didn't try it! I think it looks beautiful, sure better than I could do. We are always our worst critic.
Hang your head high, your work is great, we all get discouraged at times, i know im hardest on myself because we all have this idea in our minds of the finished product and then in reality its not quite what we envisioned, but hey thats what gives each piece its character. Im new to the hobby but have learned a lot from your videos, find your safe pace and in time you will get back in your grove!
Was it difficult to convert it to pinless? Do you have a video on how to do that?I have the same scroll saw and need to do it but the instructions are not the best.Any info would greatly help.
Rob I The HF scroll saw comes with the conversion hinges , one for the top and one for the bottom, the pinless blade is inserted into the hinges with the allen screw to hold it in place, I will look through to see if I have a video with it in it, but I have not done one for just the pinless blade, I will get back with you, Thanks for the view and question
Thanks Sterling. I did notice the conversion hinges but did not know what to do with them. You've given me some insight on it. I will have to try and see what is up with it. If you can find any info on this it will be well appreciated. Thanks, and keep it up with the good videos.

Hi sterling how did you like using the spiral blade , I’m thinking about using one but just want to see what others think about them
I like them with the DeWalt 788 , it was harder on the HF Scroll Saw because of the adapters you had to use to make it work.
Good video, carpenter UK

I now use a Pegas Scrollsaw, I have this Harbor Freight Scroll Saw as well as a Dewalt 788 I use often
Where did you find the scroll saw man in the corner of you show ?
I would like to have a pattern of it to cut out to put in my shop.

Olsen sander strips, hope thats what your asking
Nice ....video sir. wanna start also

Thanks Stephen, but I have since then, sold that scroll saw and got a DeWalt pinless.
Where did you get the pin less spiral blade
bearwood.com is where I get all my blades now
Can’t you make the hole bigger so the pin blade with fit?
You can, but by doing a bigger hole, you limit yourself to the fine fret work you can do, but it is workable
What kind of wood is this?
Bubinga
Sterling! You'll get over it.
When in doubt, slow down.
Sketchup is your friend.
Thanks for watching and for your Support Steve, Yea, i need to step back and slow down, just got myself in a funk
I have 2 say I have never worked barefoot in my shop. What's up with that? Can't wait till u drop a piece of wood on your foot or toe. Crazy.
Thanks for the positive feed back , not so much a shop than a hobbyist work space, but understand your concerns, I will do better
Hey you didn’t show how you put the adapter....you cheated lol
true lol, thanks for watching
