Any tricks to reduce blade slipping? Some blades seem to stay put while other come loose no matter how tight I try to get the jaws. Malc

Great cutting Paul, what finish did you use on the birch? Malc
-
That looks great. Never tried intarsia, must do oneday. Malc

Super pattern, good cutting. Hope you don't mind I have copied the picture and will cut myself one. If you could post a copy of the pattern would be great! Malc

The pattern is by Ardold Volker now handled by his son in law Kyle Sheffer at www.woodyoubelieveshop.com in the USA I saw a picture of this design in a Patrick Spielman book called 300 Christian & Inspirational patterns. I sent a picture of it to Kyle and he postedme the pattern at very reasonable cost. Vey glad you liked it. Malc

If you are in UK and can get decent ply at £15 for an 8x4 please tell me where! I pay about £7 for a bit 4x1. Malc

Nativity Scene designed by Arnold Volker and cut by me Malc

You all probably do this anyway, but I have only just thought of it! I have been doing a cut with many very fine holes, i.e. a no.1 blade size and found great difficulty finding the hole to feed the blade through. So I ground the top end of the blade to a point and bingo! pops through every time with no effort! Malc

As Armistice day approaches I thought it would be nice to make a commemorative plaque to remember those who gave their lives for us. I have called it 'Lest we Forget'. I hope you all like it. The background is pine and the soldier is stained with rosewood. Malc

Is there a way of fitting a foot pedel to a machine with a zero volt on/off switch. On mine once the power is removed there is no way to turn it back on without pressing the on switch. I believe this is common on most electrical goods with blades in the UK. Malc

I want to spray paint some plywood decorations, what primer would you use? Malc
-
I want to cut some key holders that are 12mm thick. If I cut them one at a time I would use a No.5 blade. How many do you think I could cut at one time and what blade would you use. The wood in question is pine. malc

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
