    Also use the correct teeth per inch for the thickness of wood you are cutting. later Daniel

    Toolbeltman I started with a 14" AMT. The saw cuts really good NOW!!!! . If you rotate the motor by hand you will see that the blade actually moves to the rear of the saw on the downstroke. I tore mine completely apart and fixed and added a lot of features that all the new ones have nowdays. Now I use it as my fine cutting saw (2nd. saw). later Daniel

    One product you can use is called Envirotex Lite--pour-on high gloss finish. If your adding your scroll work to the inside of the tray, pour some finish in the bottom 1/8" to 1/4" they place your scroll work in next. Work slow to avoid bubbles,then pour on more finish to cover, exhale across the top of finish until all bubbles rise to the top. This is a very thick couting,is crystal clear. very good stuff. Available at Wally world. later Daniel

    Just an update on the show , PS Wood Machines has been added as an exibitor. They offer two sizes of scrollsaw 21" and 14" , both with quick change blade and belt drive variable speed. They are made from cast aluminum . I have a Sakura (which is what they were called before P S Wood accired them. I really like mine, it has more power than my RBI 20 . later Daniel

    Hey gonefishing If you are able to sit at the metal desk, thats sounds like it would be really surdy, and bolt it down to that if you don't mind holes in the top. If you don't want holes find a sold rubber matte, like a shop matte whicch are 3/8-1/2" thick for vibration. Happy scrolling. later Daniel

    I started out with an AMT 14" ( which I still have). Anyone remember American Machine and Tool? After I found out I liked it and could make a little money, I stepped up to a Sakura. Anyone remember them? I bought the last one from a company that only had there floor model left. I really like it. As for the AMT, I had to tear it completely apart and rework it , and added variable speed, dust blower, quick tension release, quick blade change, on and on . Now it's a good little saw for thin work. Then I also have a Hawk 20' Variable speed with quick change blade . I'm running out of space and I'd be willing to sell the Hawk if anyone is interested. The point here is , when your first starting out,you don't know if your going to like scrolling or not, so I think it's OK to by a cheap saw and see if it's anything close to what you might be interseted in , then move up as you budgit allows. later Daniel

    I'll have to navigate and figure out how to use this forum. I do have a question. How do you tell how much the patterns are in the pattern library? And how do you download them? later Daniel

    Hello everyone from mid-Missoui . I started scrolling in 1973, done quit a lot for a craft store (friend) for years. Then had about 3 regular customers for several years , but the last years scrolling has really died out in the Midwest, at least where I'm at. I have always had a fulltime job,(outside the home) and I have always had a partime business-hobby as a woodworker. more later Daniel
