    I have had good luck removing cups by turning the board over and putting a weight on it. Let is set until the cup disappears.

    I found some 1/4" Aspen at HD last week. Planed it to 3/16" and cuts really nice stacked by 3's. Is light colored and clear.

    For thin woods, you want Baltic birch ply. If you enter scroll saw lumber on ebay, there are several suppliers. I have never used them so can't say how they are but there is a lot wood available.

    Hi John. I'm retired but still never seem to have the time to do all the things I wanted to. I took a class at the university there once upon a time but have now moved to Missouri.

    I often use my brad nailer when stacking. Lay the stack on an old circular saw blade and it will clinch the brad. I also sometimes wrap the stack with blue painters tape then glue on the pattern. Both ways work depending on the type pattern I am cutting.

    I have most of my paper patterns filed in binders. Each binder is labelled with topic such as Religious, Western, animals, cats, etc. At this time I have 15 binders but need to do some splitting as some are getting too full.

    Depending on which one you refer to, one is between the breakfast table and the kitchen which makes it very handy to the coffee pot. The others are in the shop which was too cold this winter. Have found I like having one in the house as it is really convenient.

    That would probably be as successful as Prohibition. Can you imagine the black market for saws and blades?

    This is my shop that I can't really use as the heat isn't hooked up. #2 is my entry for smallest shop as this is the only area I have to work now.

    The cedar dust can be irritating. Smells great but generates a lot of sneezing.

    I am currently working on a couple of dog plaques with names. One is for my vet that I hope he will hang in the waiting room and generate some orders. The other is of my weimaraner. Grampa Paul was kind enough to do the pattern for a blue heeler as I didn't have one.

    You could always glue them up in wider widths. I really like working with cedar except when it's time to sand.

    Excellent work. I did one leopard and swore never again so I can really appreciate your work.

    I know you have been swamped Travis and we surely do appreciate all you do but isn't this kind of like putting the fox in charge of the chickenhouse? LOL

    Thanks Russ for my ornaments. I tried to post a picture but wasn't successful.

    If you contact Bushton Mfg at 620-562-3557, they can probably give you an idea.

    Great job Travis. The withdrawal symptoms were not fun.

    Hey Brian, We're almost next door neighbors. I live between Elkland and Buffalo which isn't very far from you. We'll have to get together sometime.

    I also was a member when suddenly one day I couldn't log in. My name and password were there but no good. They quit accepting new members but appeared to be still functioning so I just assumed they had gotten very exclusive and I no longer fit.

    When I cut plexiglas, I leave the protective film on, draw or trace the design with a felt tip pen, turn the plexi over and cover the lines with masking tape. Cutting this way causes no problems with fusing. You just clean up the edges and you are ready to go.

    What a great idea. Cash is a little short around here but have donated a quilt made by my mother to the senior center to raffle and am giving another to the Amer. Legion to raffle and then I will be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army this year.

    If you post the picture in the pattern request area, I am sure that someone could make you a cutable pattern. If you want to frame it, you would want either 1/8 or 1/4" ply and you would want to stack more than one for easier cutting.

    Click on the link to Mikesworkshop for Flying Dutchman blades. Mike will send you a sample pack. Every scroller has their own favorite. Mine happens to be a #5 Reverse.

    I can't imagine doing without my table saw as well as my drill press and 6" belt sander.

    I try to keep my stack around 3/4" and in pine the #5 should be fine. I have found that although you can do thicker stacks, they tend to be less efficient timewise.
