Great video. You offered a range of options from the scroller whose broke to one with deep pockets. The vid was nice quality too. The info was presented in a very clear manner. Good job!

I'd love to help but without more pics I'm at a loss. Sorry Kevin.

Excellent point.

I use boiled linseed oil (BLO) on most woodworking projects, assuming I'm not going to paint them. IMHO it brings out the natural grain and color of the wood. Most of the time, but not always, I'll add a topcoat like shellac, lacquer, varnish or what-have-you. I think a top coat adds a finished look. Let the BLO thoroughly dry before adding any top coat. I generally mix 50/50 with mineral spirits. But that only helps the BLO flash off and makes it easier to apply. Experiment with finishes on scrap stock.

You can't miss scrolling images of dogs. Well done!

Taking the scroll saw on the road with you?
oldhudson replied to jbrowning's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Maybe it's just me but when I travel I really don't want to be doing the same stuff I do at home. So when camping I try carving (whittling), which I don't do at home. Easy to pack and fun around the camp fire. -
Here are a couple of pics of that clock I referred to in my earlier post.

Me too. I have one of their quartz units that has run for about 8-9 years with annual battery replacement. If I can remember I'll take a picture of it tomorrow and post here.

What size baltic birch plywood if framing.

Very nice. Is that a fabric backer?

My shop is pretty small (12 x 14) and I just leave it on the window sill as pictured, turn it on full, and leave it run if I'm making dust and about 5-10 minutes after I quick. You don't need a window for it to work. I use the open window when painting so the overspray and VOC's gets pulled from the air.

I've used the one pictured for years. I think it's a huge help and not nearly as costly as the ceiling hung units for Jet and other suppliers. Two filters on the input side. You see I made a little box to hold the units so I don't have to fiddle with tape. I have another fan that I tape a filter to and mount in an open window when I spray paint. This unit I'm using this week on a remodel job. It's great when working with sheetrock, mud and tape. Here's a video of a neat box fan build

I've always had good luck with eReplacement, if they can't get you the part I'm pretty sure it's as they say. It's the supplier.

Great job Dave!

the router is the second most useful tool in my shop, right after the table saw. They're very flexible. I have 5 including a Dremel (my two old Craftsman pretty much just collect dust - but I have a specific applications where I utilize them). My compact router is a DeWalt 611 PK. As others have noted a Dremel has real limitations on the kind of cuts and thickness of stocks you can make/use.
-
As everyone has noted it's a very fine cutting but let me add what a great frame too. It sets off the cutting nicely.

For me I think track saws are the way to go. IMHO they are simpler and easier to store than a panel saw - though still really spendy. I use a fair amount of sheet goods in my woodworking and sheet good cutting it is really critical. For years, like Mrs.N, I used pink Styrofoam insulation on the garage floor but I made a straight line cutting jig. Here's a link to a YouTube video where the guy made one nearly identical to the one I used for years. This jig couldn't be easier to make and is quite accurate. The one I made was from plans in Woodsmith Magazine. I gave up cutting on the floor and now use the cutting table pictured. Made from 4 - 8ft 2 x 4's. It stores in a tiny corner of the garage when not in use. It's all half lap joints. No hardware at all holding it together. But you need a couple of saw horses too. I back up the van and move the pw to the cutting table and make whatever cuts needs before moving the stock to the shop.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or if it should be under "Other Woodworks", if I'm wrong I apologize. I thought this might be of interest to some of the members. Steve Carmichael at the Carmichael Workshop made a mobile stand for his DeWalt scroll saw, although it could easily be used for other brands. There is short video and pdf plans which are free. It certainly takes up less space than my stand! http://www.thecarmichaelworkshop.com/2016/05/diy-scroll-saw-stand-for-dewalt-dw788.html

I've made this little box with drilled holes from a bottom runner on a skid. But it doesn't hold many blades, has fallen off the bench and drove me crazy, and every years it's more difficult to read the labels I stamped into the wood. I sure wish there were more pictures in this thread. But as my Dad told me if wishes were horses beggars would ride. I'm organizationally impaired and will really need to make something new when I finish the basement remodel I'm working on.

I think you'll have unique items. Very creative.

Very creative...remember the truth is out there!

That's a good question. To some extent it may depend on the type of wood, detail of the pattern and how green it is. I wouldn't think you could cut anything well unless the thickness was less than the cutting stroke of your saw. But I'm new to scroll work too so don't listen to me!

I've tried Elmer's and Durham's but neither work well with stains. I've mixed dyes with the Durham's to help getting the color. Hey it's part of the challenge of woodworking.

It came out great.
