    i like using pine for all my work, unless customer wants another type, i also use a propane torch to burns the sides around letters, etc, to give it that ole timey stressed look

    when i first began wood burning, i was using sandeply wood, easy to work with, then i started using pine, as of now i use pine for all my wood burnings and relief carvings, and scroll sawing, unless customer wants a different type of wood, to see my work, go to www.cjswoodcrafts.com.

    Hey all, i got an order yesterday evening, woman wants 2 crosses about 3 feet high, and i wanna do some fancying it up a bit, i am wondering how could i scroll cut a piece of 2 x4, the kind of wood she wants it done with, i am thinking some kind of angel silhouette if this is even possible, would a spiral blade be the best way to go? Thanks in advance Jim

    hiya vector, yeah i didnt realize thats what the allen wrench was for.... duh me, lol i did get it replaced today replaed the whole saw, also figured it out by looking at ryobi site, on how to install the air tube, well mine was missing s o i had to tape the tube to side of saw, so i got tired of not having it right, now i can start all over, and start enjoying it again

    hey yall, got a question, i got a sc164vs variable scroll saw, its been doing well until i started using plain end blades, now, since i have to use pliers to tighten upper blade clamp, the screw has become stripped, wont tighten any more. will a regualr screw the size and length of the blade clamp screw work? when i use the plain end blade, i sand both sides top and bottom, but it still comes out hand tightened, so i had to use pliers. Any advice will be appreciated thanks Jim
