Popular Post Phdesigns Posted February 2 Popular Post Report Posted February 2 First ‘real’ project. Learned a bit in corners, blade tension and such. Using Olsen #7 crown tooth blades. My arm release mechanism made the job much easier with all the holes. Fun stuff! Matt B, TAIrving, danny and 22 others 25 Quote

Ber Gueda Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 I wish my first project looked like that.... Good job!!!! Quote
FrankEV Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Very Nice. I realalize you said first project, but FWIW, a #7 blade is really large. I'm an avocate of using the smallest blade possible for the kind of cutting you are doing and the thickness of the material you are cutting. You might find a #3 or even a #1 blade would be eaiser to work with for this kind of cutting and materil thickness. Just my two cents. Phdesigns 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Great cutting. I cannot imagine what engineer decided that was a good place for an arm release for a scroll saw. Surely, it was one that had never scrolled. Quote

These I had picked up at Rockler to start with. Thanks. FrankEV 1 Quote
sydknee Posted Monday at 04:45 AM Report Posted Monday at 04:45 AM That’s a pretty impressive piece of cutting. Well done. I also suggest a smaller blade. But hey you still have done so well with the #7 what do I know. Quote
Barry5180 Posted Wednesday at 12:15 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:15 AM That's a great first project. Very well done. I like your release mechanism. I saw one on YouTube that was just a lever mounted right in from of the release pin. Follow topic y Quote
Denny Knappen Posted Wednesday at 04:06 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 04:06 PM Very well done. Nice clean lines. Quote
rdatelle Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago That came out great but I was surprised at the size blade you used. A #3 would work great. Did good though for your first project. Quote
