Jim, it looks fantastic, is it for your daughters cake, or for someone else's? Len
-
Another outstanding piece, thanks for sharing it with us. Len
-
Very nice clock Bill, did you design the shelf it's sitting on, or, did the plans have that pattern included with them? Len
-
Jerry, that's a bit of a harsh statement to make, do you realize that most if not all scroll saws are now made in Taiwan or China. Even a lot of the higher quality saws, are made there now. Len

Randy, try clamp screw with swivel tip, I don't know if that will do anything for you, but it's different terminology. Len

Philip's Granson and Granddaughter cuttings

Nicely done Spirithorse, they will be well received by the new owners. Len -
It's a cute project Todd, and like the others have stated, I don't see anything wrong with your painting skills. What part of the "rock" do you come from? I gotta get back there someday for a long visit, it's a beautiful and rugged place. The moose in NL, came from the area I live in. I have quite a few friends in NL, they all live in different areas of the island, but, most are from Port Aux Basque area. Great people to party with, many a night we closed down the taverns. Len

Kelly, no matter what type of wood it is, it can be cut with a scroll saw. Some people even use their scroll saws to cut metal, have you ever seen a quarter that has been cut on a scroll saw? Len

Beautiful piece. Len

I use paste wax on mine also, it makes cutting just that much easier. Len

Roly, it's not just a knurled knob that you would need made, but, you would also have to have the screw end made to accept the small swivel tip that the scroll saw clamp screws have. That's the only thing, that keeps a person from using a regular type screw. Len

Ralph, buy the EX21 if at all possible, the EZ16 is a nice "little" saw. But, it's so much nicer to have the extra cutting capacity of the EX21. When I upgraded, I went from a 16" saw to the 21" saw and was amazed at how much more I cut cut because of size. Len

Hey Guys, maybe, just maybe he's using the best he can afford already. I remember being there, and when I asked a question about the saw I owned, there was no answer that could be any less helpful then to be told to go out and buy better by people who obviously had more money then I did. Especially, seeing as how I already bought as good as I could afford at that time. Joe, you don't have a top of the line saw, but, I imagine that you already know that. If it is to much of a PITA to reach to the back tensioner, then all you can do is hold the top arm down as hard as possible while tightening the clamp. If you put enough downward pressure on top arm, and maintain the downward pressure while tightening up the blade clamp, the blade will be as far up into the clamp as possible. By doing it this way, the blade shouldn't need any more tension. There's all kinds of time to save up and buy a better saw in the future, for now you will have to learn to do with what you own. Len

Dan, I think it would be easier and quicker to cut out the names you want, rather than to try to work with all of the separate letters. I would think it would be a nightmare to get all of the letters to line up properly. What size of letters are you considering making? To small, and they would be very aggravating to work with. To large, then they don't look right or won't fit the piece your working on. Personally, I think you would be better suited to just cut out the names as needed. Sure, keep a copy of each name you cut, in stencil form for future work. Len

Wayne, why would you separate them on the scrollsaw, wouldn't it be much easier to separate them with a thin parting tool? Using the parting tool, would leave the center mark that would be needed to drill them out. Len

Karl, there is a difference in the brands and quality of these index drill bits, I have two different brands. One has black drill bits and I purchased them at Princess Tools here in Canada, Princess tools is very much like a Harbor Freight retailer. I'm not sure of the brand, there's twenty bits to the small container #'s 61-80. The other brand I have is called Hawk, they are a silver colored bit, and they are much stronger than the other brand. I'm not to sure of where I purchased them, but, they must have been at a good price seeing as how I bought 4 sets. I use a full size drill press on low speed, with the regular drill press chuck and if I break a bit, it's usually because of something I did wrong. These bits are so small, that I don't think they should be used in a hand drill. Use a drill press, or, use a dremel type of tool that has the plunge base installed. I hardly ever break a bit, now that I no longer use a hand drill. Len

Good looking cutting Ron, seeing what the subject matter was, this had to be a hard cutting to do. Len
-
Nice bit of cutting Roly, I really like the nativity scene, where did you get the pattern for it? Len
-
Looking good Dan, you've had a very productive weekend. Len
-
Holy smokes that's impressive, kids will love playing with this. Did you buy the pattern for this, or, did you make the pattern? Len
-
I've used it on puzzles, but, I don't know if it would be any good around scrollwork. What are you planning to do with it? Len
-
DW, how about sharing some details on the microglitter acrylic paint, that you found and now use? It sounds as if it would be something, that we a lot of us might be interested in. Len
-
lolol Kev, is that your belly showing in the last photo? The sign looks fantastic with the playdoh infill, does it harden over time or what? I didn't think it was any good to use as an infill, simply due to the shrinkage problems and how long it takes to set up. Len
-
Well done Gator, what are you going to be doing with this piece? Is it for the family, or, for the sheriff's department to display in his honor? Len
-
Kevin, thankfully it's 1/4" longer and not shorter. Longer is an easy fix, shorter, not so easy, but doable. The meditation table looks nice, as usual, top notch. Len
