  1. I forgot to put it's 1/8 in BB plywood. I don't stack cut. Bill
  2. 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.
  3. HI Cory Welcome to the group, where are you in Wisconsin. I live in New Richmond on the west side of state. I have been scrolling for many years. Bill
  4. 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. Bill
  5. 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
  6. 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 Nrscroller in Wisconsin
  7. HI Thanks for the nice mike pattern, I spent 7 years in radio broadcasting in the late 60-early 70 era. Bill In Wisconsin
  8. 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. Bill in wisconsin
  9. Hi Those are nice ormanents, they are my favorite to do with 1/8 in baltic birch. Where are those patterns from? Nice Job Bill
  10. That looks way better than the expensive one that Rocklers sells with a clamp that isn't worth it. Bill
  11. Just a beautiful job, i am a train lover too. Bill
  12. 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. Bill
  13. 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. Bill
  14. 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 Bill
  15. 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 Bill in Wisconsin
  16. HI I have a 1995 18vs Hegner and never have had any problems like that thankfully. Good luck Bill
  17. Wow that is really a nice gift and nice work. Bill
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. SEe my post under the for sale. I just posted my Dewalt 788. I am in western Wisconsin/ Bill
  21. Hi Here is where I get my bits. The prices are reasonable and they also have lots of other stuff https://widgetsupply.com/ Bill
  22. Hi Very nice words and work. It is a fitting message for everyone. Bill
  23. HI Take the hold down off, all it does is make it hard to make turns and tight cuts. Nobody uses a hold down, I have been sawing for 30 years and never use one.Learn to grip your wood with finger tips and use one for a holder and one with a lighter touch for pivoting. have fun and good luck Bill
  24. HI Last year I bought an OTT light at Joannes Fabrics that has the swing arm and magnifier, it works great. Bill
  25. Nice work Kevin, Where did you get the Prayer Changes Thing pattern? Bill
