First project

[Phdesigns]

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!

Excellent!!

Beautiful job, excellent cutting, RJ

[Gonzo]

Looks very nice! Congrats on your first project!

[Peter N White]

Excellent cutting.

[Ber Gueda]

I wish my first project looked like that.... Good job!!!!

[barb.j.enders]

Well done!

[FrankEV]

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.

fantastic job

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.

I will be getting some smaller blades. These I had picked up at Rockler to start with. Thanks.

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.

Great Work!

Very nice!

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.

Very well done.  Nice clean lines.

[rdatelle]

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.

Great saw too! I have the Bauer as well. I'm doing that same design but it's a clock. I'm starting it today.

[wombatie]

Wow very impressive.  Well done.

Well, for a 1st, I think you got it down pat.

Well done and look forward to seeing what comes next.

[wagner1958]

That is very well done, I still have my first project and it’s not even close to being this good.

A clock is on my todo list!

Well done!

I am amazed at how well you cut this, again for a first cut and the use of a #7 blade to do it,
