thanks Bill
MESSAGE ME WITH THAT INFO PLEASE!!!!
HI
I Lost my paint shop pro 9 program when I went to windows 10, it allowed me to scan and resize a pattern. Any free ones out there that are easy to work with or suggestions otherwise. I don't like paint.net
Thanks
Bill
HI all
I have been using green painters tape for years and I agree with a post up above, that when it comes time to take it off, you end up with lots of little pieces. I just started using the clear stuff from Walmart and it is great. My wife suggested I take the roll and cut off about a few feet that roll it up in the opposite direction and put a rubber band around it and when its time to use it, it will lay flatter for you. I just take my little piece of plywood and lay it on the backside and cut around the board with a exacto knife and then peel it off and stick it to it. Works ver well I feel

HI,
I have a brother black and white laser printer with scanner and I love it for scroll saw patterns. When you buy new toner get the regular Brother brand and the larger soze cartridge, I recently got a cheaper one off ebay and it was not the best. Didn't last long. Also about once a week pull your cartridge out of the holder and genly shake it up and down a couple times to stir up the toner so you get even color.

HI all,
I just finished one set of three of the Voelker Arnold German fretwork ornaments that were in a back issue of SSCW issue. I used to make a lot of these for gifts.
HI, I took this pattern that he had on his website this past week and instaed of a backer I just made a hanging ornament out of 1/8 inch BB ply. It turned out nice.

HI everyone,
I may have asked this a long time ago, but now I am starting to scroll again to make things for the Holidays. Question I have is how do you tell the lower blade holder sizes? I have some and they are not marked. I use the Pegas 2.0 blades mostly because I work with 1/8 BB plywood. What holder number would work best with that blade?
Thanks for the help
Bill
HI
When I do my stuff and I use just 1/8 BB I use the the Pegas puzzle blades only. I would not use a reverse tooth blade with that thin wood. I have been scrolling for years and get very little break out on back side.
Good luck

Hi,
those are really cool. YOu did a nice job, I like making the filligree things. I will have to check the latest issue, is that out yet? I let my subscription quit so I don't know if I will be getting that one or not.

Hi
Get rid of the super 77 glue, blotches bad when getting empty. A good friend at church works for 3m in St. Paul and she said the 45 is the better glue for crafts. I got some and it is much better.

Hi
I scroll with thin stock all the time, 1/8 inch baltic birch ply. I currently use the Pegas 2/0 28 tpi and it is great. It is a skip tooth blade so it doesn't clog up. Try it and you will be surprised how nice it cuts.

Hi,
When I get a pattern, I make a copy and save as original and file it, then just pull that and print a copy. I file them under different artists or general or various topisc, I am 74 and has worked for years for me

Hi everyone., I made this for my Pastor for Christmas. I won't make another one, it is too hard. But it was interesting. If anyone makes it I would go with Steve's suggestion of enlarging to 200% and using 1/4 and 1/2 plywood. 1/8 is kinda flimsy, but once it was glued up it held together ok. Thanks for looking

Try this one gusy:
I have it all beat, I use a air brush compressor hooked up to my line, avoids the bellows and keeps dust off my work much better. I have it hooked up to my foot switch so it goes on and off with that. Also have a 20 inch box fan with backside toward my saw with a furnace filter taped to it to suck dust away. Been using this for years. It has more power than an aquarium pump also.
Bill
Congrats
I hope you like your new saw. I have a 1995 Hegner I bought at only a year old. I have replaced a couple parts but it runs like a top all the time. I use the Pegas blades and I don't have any problem with blade breakage. Oil your arm bearings on both sides with light oil now and then.
Good luck
Bill
