I suggest you get to know some different blade types and styles and you learn to match up the blade with your work and things will get better yet. The better blades on the market come from Flying Dutchman and Pegas. Good luck. -
Welcome to the sight and to the world of scrolling. It os a relaxing hobby that anyone can enjoy. The more you cut the more you learn the tricks of the trade as they say. Good luck as you progress. What saw are you using and what blades??
-
Oh that border looks time consuming. Might be able to stack cut some of that. You did well.
-
That came out great. I too have this pattern and at one time was gunho to give it a try but never did. Seeing yours may give me the inspiration I need. Thanks for showing and I know it will be well received.
-
That is who I buy from and they sell through Amazon too. Good product.
-
Man that blade was smoking. Carter makes a bearing system you can add to your bandsaw that allows 1/8" blades and turns on a dime too. This tool is for a tool junkie because as someone said it is a small bandsaw and that is all. I saw this on facebook being advertised along with Pegas new scrollsaw so had to bring it up here. Not cheap either.

Tell me this is not an expensive tool?/ I have looked at these things and just can not figure out why they are so expensive. I remember I was at a woodworking show when they first came out and being I owned a drum sander I tried to figure out why one would want this. But have to say the salesperson had all the lines. Not sure if he sold any but did draw a crowd. A used one probably go for half that price to give you something to base your thoughts on. https://www.rjrstudios.com/store/p3/SAND-FLEE®_18"_Portable_Drum_Sander.html

I have ordered and received some reclosable bags and this is the way I am going to go instead of one time sealing. I chose this method because of a few reasons. One being my puzzles are smaller than what iggy does and are not standable. His are basically put it together once and display it or maybe the kids play with it. Mine are definitely build the puzzle and then take it apart and store it. So the person can store the pieces in the bag and place in the box. The vac thing means they cut it off and throw it away and am afraid the pieces getting lost. The puzzles should stay together in the reclosable bag because it is not too large. Hopefully this will work. When I start making them I will post a photo or two.

How many people here will be ordering a couple of these?? Kevin this should be on your list of next tool to buy.
-
I hope you patten this when done. Could be line wanting them.
-
Now a drum sander is a different tool and a much more useful tool and less money. I would never be without my drum sander.
-
Can I ask you what you use it for?? Just seems like an odd way to sand a board down. Need to keep same pressure on the board all the way through.
-
The same thing with AC Moore and Michaels. I pick things up for my pen hobby at times. But the one thing I always buy from one of those stores is the box of exacto knife blades. can not beat the 20% off.

Without getting into the electronics of this but if the package or bulb does not say it is dimmable than it is not. Do not do it. It has to do with the drivers feeding the leds and the pulses it allows. Like I said i will not go into this because most will not understand. Also those leds that say are dimmable are to a point. They will dim a bulb to about 90% and then you see the wave lengths and add the ac current which pulsates and if the voltage is low then it is even more prominent. The light output is not that great when dimmed. You are better off either getting different color tones or adding filters to change light output.

Depends on what you are looking for. They have alot of China made stuff. As far as supplies there are better places to shop but do carry most of everything. Not sure what a scroller would want to buy there. The BB is expensive as is other hobby stores. Paints and glues are high also. I have bought a few specialty things such as brass tubes or plating because I needed right away. But if you need right away then that is where they excel.

I am not going there either for it seems there is at least one person here that does not like any of my comments, suggestions, or any of my postings and probably more of them out there so I will do what I want and keep it to myself.
-
Not really. I will see how long it takes to do But a couple hours and BB wood. Need a few cheaper items to spark sales. Trying something new. Will add some of those napkin holders too. Again some BB wood and quick cuttings.
-
I am on some and will when I make a pen to go along with the idea of the puzzle. Do not want to make all wooden boxes because then I have to jack the price up and wanted these as a quick $20 sale.
-
I have ordered may boxes from Uline but for bags their shipping is way too high. $20 for a 1000 bags.
-
On the rbi saws there is a place to mount the light and it easily swings back and forth and to me it is so second nature I do it automatically and do not think about it. My blade changing is like a dance and can be done in about 5 to 10 seconds.
-
The more thought I give this I may go with reclosable bags. The reason is there will be alot of small pieces and being able to save in a bag so it can be used again maybe the thing to do. I just ordered some bags and will see how this goes. With shrink wrap it is one time thing and with those animal things they pretty much are for display and even so the pieces are large so not easily lost. Still thinking this one over. First have to master the cutting.

Want to pack puzzles that are 4" x 6-1/2" Want to sell puzzles and figured vac bags are they way to go some other way to present them. They will be enclosed in a box also. The thickness is 1/4" or 3/8" Not used vac bags so what is needed. Also maybe a zip lock bag will work too. Any suggestions??

Yes it can be another expensive hobby but I figure I live once and have to spend my money on something. It keeps me out of trouble and out of site. Bored with scrolling.
