When I look in my scrap box I find the offcuts are getting smaller and smaller as I find uses for the larger ones. The question is when is small too small to keep? malc

How do you get a good uniform finish on MDF, the cut edges soak up paint like its going out of fashion and staining the face looks horrible as it shows up the particles. Malc

When do you wear a dust mask, all the time, only when sanding, only when scrolling, or never? Just interested. Malc

I am Cutting a large pattern which is too large to turn all the way round to be able to make the internal cuts. Has anyone tried reversing the blade to cut away from yourself? If so how easy was it. Malc

I meant my scroll saw table, not my table saw, but I think I will try a hole cutter and see how it goes. Seems a bit extreme to buy a lathe! Malc

I need to cut out some round rings. Would you use a jig anchored to the saw table? Malc

I just use the old two by four method, no problems. Malc

Yep, I've started using a cpeap roll on glue by UHU works fine Malc

Can you tell me where I can buy this pattern Malc

I see many people are using Flying Dutchman blades which come from the U.S. On this side of the pond which are the best blades to buy in the U.K. Malc

As we are just past the longest day here in U.K. I was wondering what is the longest time anyone has taken to complete a scrolling project. I took over a month to complete a wooden works clock. But most of that time was getting it to run properly! As I am new to scrolling i am still quite slow. I recently scrolled a rather complicated plaque for my wife which took several days, manly due to the fact i had to hide it at the sound of her approach!! Malc

I use 3M spray adhesive, and it is expensive! is there a cheaper one available in U.K., or is there another method of sticking patterns on? Malc.

Hi Paul, I think the Deco has more to offer yet, I think the limiting factor is the squidgy organic bit, i.e. me! Think I will see how my finances go and look again in six months. Malc

I am still new to scrolling and am slowly getting better. The saw I have is a Scheppach Deco 402, which I think is an entry level saw. I may be in a position to get another in a few months and have been looking at the Hegner Multicut 1. The question is will this saw be better or should I continue with the Deco until I feel I am a competent scroller? Malc

I have a pattern that requires some long straight cuts, about six inches, they are internal so I can't use a band saw. What is the best way to cut straight with my scroll saw? Malc

I cut mostly ply and MDF Malc

5/0 Piercing Saw Blades. I have seen these blades on amazon very cheap are they the same as the no.5 blade we use in our scroll saws? Malc

I would love a foot switch but saws sold here in the U.K. are fitted with zero volt drop out switches so a foot switch would turn it off but not back on again. Malc

Thats where I was going wrong, forgot she was a she!!!

Only my second day of scrolling and have learnt that my saw and I are a team, each with their own job. His is to cut the wood, mine is to guide it, and we are useless at each others job!! One question I have is the sitting position. With the saw on my workbench I was too low, now its on an old computer desk and I think its a tad to low! Guess I'll get it right eventually>

My new scrollsaw, a Deco 402, arrived on Wednesday. I only ordered it from Screwfix on Friday afternoon and was not expecting it for some days due to the bank holiday. There was a problem with the top blade clamp, the gap in it was too wide to close on a blade. I contacted Screwfix's supplier, N.M.A. in Yorkshire Wednesday afternoon. They put not one but two replacements in the post which I received first thing this today (Thursday). I believe that if I am prepared to moan about bad service I must also praise good service. So three cheers to Screwfix, N.M.A., City Link and the Royal mail. Malc

Newbee question, waiting for my new scrollsaw to arrive, Scheppach DECO 402 400mm Scroll Saw , What grade blades should I get to give me a general supply to start with? I think I will be cutting plywood to start with until I get the hang of things. Malc

Hi all, name is malcolm living near Dover UK, retired and just about to start scrolling. Been building RC aircraft for years, no room left in the hanger! I have just built a wooden works clock by Brian Law and have decided to delve further into the world of scrolling. I will need lots of help!! Malc
