  1. Mr. Bert , can see your a mover and a shaker,no sittin around for you!I sit in front of the 15" x 19" a.c. intake with a paper filter.It pulls so good i never smell the wood burning or dust.You can make your own with a squirrel cage fan 220 volt is the norm but there are 110 volt ones around .They have the best suction to pull the nastys away from you.You want the output to go out of the room and not recirculate.work on it.If you can make it go outside you don't need a filter.Mine recirculates thought the house so i use the paper filter.When i see it bow in i know it's time to vacumn it clean again .they last and last.The room i'm in i close the vent on the ceiling that way i have positive suction in the room to get it all in the filter.I modifiyed the air intake to use 20" x 20" filters. something that the big box store has all the time . geting the weird sizes is a pain to find.i only added a box to fit over the existing a.c. hole and can just be removed in a second If i ever move.there is no dust anywhere else in the house.your doing good!
  2. I don't understand any of it but i know your keeping up with the times! Good job sir!
  3. Welcome Bert,So happy to have you!Looks like someone primed you with some good advice on scroll saw accessorys!.Amgle your saw forward a bit to see what your doing easyer,a nice brite light is a plus.i use a 150 flouresant about 10" above the saw .A chair with wheels is nice for me. You'll want a nice air filtration system going for you,(pleated paper filters catch everything) and an old electric clock (small) to keep track of your cut time for priceing and such which go's on when the saw starts from the foot switch.Keep your patterns a light gray if possiable as it's the best way to see the line when cutting.Put you vacumn cleaner out side and have a long pool cleaning hose going to it and the saw to minimize the noise.Get a small square 1.5" x 1.5" to keep your blades a true 90degree's.If you don't when makeing puzzles they won't go, or come apart easy.Same go'es for cutting other wood things.Have a glue stick close to the saw for when the pattern comes loose while sawing as a quick fix.Make something for the wife first .Check the forum daily ,i do to see what i'm missing in tips and tricks with scrolling. More later,We'll help you enjoy your hobby to it's fullest.Click on a persons name in the gallery to see all they have made.

  5. Well David ,i'm sorry but i'm going to have to agree indubitably with the rest of the members that the box in question is by far the most thoughfull creation of love for the daughter in law.A cold beer does wonders to the mind in thought provokeing skills you've shone us here.None better in my book .And maybe the big book of scroll saw wood working would like to use your picture of the completed box for their next issue!I'd be hard pressed to find that kind of skills to do a box in the fine quality as you demonstrated for us.You are a master woodworker yes?Shipright carpenter?This is a real keepsake and to top it off made with 40 year old wood!You've used all the right ingredience's and came up with a one of a kind treasure.Be sure you sign it and date it.This will be a family heirloom for generations from Mr. david.Excellant job sir.4 stars for you!

  23. i have a spray bottle filled with odor free mineral spirits. I spray on ,let it soak and pull off the pattern in one piece ,no matter how delicate the pattern,sometines a second spraying is in order.I all so use low tack repositi0nal spray by "elmers" but any low tack works.Sometines i have to spray both the wood and pattern with the glue .Sometimes i let dry and sometimes i apply the pattern wet on wet.Tip's and trick's!My patterns come off so good you can reuse the pattern!Even a delicate lords prayer comes off in one piece.
