    Sorry to hear about the medical issues. I have the same problem with both shoulders but, the expense of surgery is what has kept me from getting the problems fixed. I'll deal with it until I can't tolerate the pain any longer. Anyway, sorry that you are in that much pain and was just commiserating with you. I didn't mean to start with the poor me portion of the post. I didn't see the cutting you referred to. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Hi, Frank, Thanks for the extra explanation and I thought of a suggestion you might try. These are really very nice and very unique. Maybe if you turned the patterns upside down these could be used outside of the house, under the eve spouts like what I think are called canister lights. Unfortunately, I could not find any pictures to show you what type of lights I am talking about. I sure hope you start getting some good sales to make your work more fun and more profitable. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Beautiful! Did you paint the accents or is that like a paper over-lay like a decal? I love them! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Welcome, Chris, I agree that I think it is the blade is installed up-side down and the speed is probably too high, I personally would not want a steel insert because when a blade breaks it doesn't hurt much if it just chews up the plastic insert a little. Try bolting or clamping the saw down, perhaps with a piece of thick cardboard or carpet under it and check the direction of the blade. Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Greetings, A lot of the answer to your question just depends on your personal taste and your expertise with other tools. There are some beautiful hinged boxes that are very appealing but, a sliding lid box like you mentioned can be beautiful also. With that type box you will probably want to use a router to make the groove. You can also make some boxes with what I would call 'lipped' edges. Either the edge of the box or the edge of the lid has a lip to slide into one another. I hope you'll show us a pic or two of your box (boxes). God Bless! Spirithorse

    Pretty unique and intriguing. They just remind me of the spiral blades for tools like the RotoZip. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Welcome to the Village, In my opinion, the scroll saw is one of the most versatile tools found in a small shop. You can do beautiful fretwork, large plaques, 3D compound cutting, marquetry or inlay and on and on. OH, I forgot to mention, you can even make bowls or vases that look like they were turned on a lathe! Have fun and show us some pictures as you experiment. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Great work! I really love the frame, the cutting is superb, it is buffed out to a nice sheen, and the wood colors really blend nicely! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Hi, Alexander, Nice sword you made! For casual use, just about any scrollsaw would be fine. However, the throat of the saw (the distance from the blade to the back of the arm) can limit how long your project can be so, you will probably want to buy a scroll saw bigger than the small 15" or 16" inch saws. For comfort, you may want to avoid saws that require a tool such as an allen wrench to change blades. It is just more frustrating using a tool than to use a scrollsaw that has knobs to change the blades with just your fingers. If used a lot, parts do wear out on the saw so, you may want to be sure you can get replacement parts nearby and easily. Good luck with your choice and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Roly's question; Is it the spiral blade or the user?" My answer: Yes, it is! Just kidding, Roly, I haven't really given spirals a fair opportunity and have only tried one blade but, I'm sure any attempts of mine would look MUCH worse than your example. I'm positive you could do it with more practice. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Nice work, Kevin, Yeah, free is good but, you have to charge enough to pay for your supplies. God Bless! Spirithorse
