That's beautiful, great idea!

Nice cutting!

Beautifully done DW

Nice projects Doug. I've tried the spirals on thick wood and do not like it, way too much work. I only use them when doing portraits in 1/8" since the lines don't have to be straight.

As always Don, excellent pattern and cutting! Just awesome!!

Thanks everyone. Marg, I got my girlfriend and daughter to paint the Elmo and Power ranger, I painted the other 2. Dick, I love my 788! The only thing I have a problem cutting on it is 1/8" ply, I cannot cut the thin stuff. For that I still use my Ryobi or Craftsman. I get to use my girlfriends sons old room when it gets cold.

Ever since I bought the new saw I have been BUSY. Was able to stop in for a minute or 2 but not much more. Heres a few of the projects I have been doing and not done yet. Orders coming in every day.

That's what I'm going for next Kevin, a band saw. I can keep using my drill, I want to be able to resaw some 3/4" maple.

Started cutting this morning, a potrait from Charles Dearing. I have a question, hoping it's just because it's new and I'm not familar with it. While I'm cutting, off and on there is a rattle in the housing for the upper arm. It's not very loud but it does sound like something is lose or coming lose. Is this something the saw does till it is broke in or is it worth getting it looked at?
-
Thanks! @rjR, that's a 24" 2 speed Craftsman. And yes, it's a monster! I have that one and a 16" Ryobi. The Ryobi parts have been trash lately and the Craftsman only has snail and lightning speeds. So I got ol' yeller. Test cut a couple pieces, not gonna get down till tomorrow. The best part of it is, I won't have to share my radio with the neighbors any more! It's a quiet saw!

Can't wait to get cutting!

Awesome Keefie, lookin good.

Polar Vs Ultra Reverse Blades
Tdub4ever replied to TXScrollsawartist's topic in General Scroll Sawing
After all the posts about the UR blades, I'm wondering what kinda blades I'm really using. I just cut these about an hour ago out of 1/2" popla using FD-UR #3 and they are full of fuzzies. Are the blades in the pic the ones you're talking about?

Polar Vs Ultra Reverse Blades
Tdub4ever replied to TXScrollsawartist's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I've been using the FD-UR #1 and #3s. I know the dent in the end of the blade is the top (I think so). They are sharp and cut very good. But I don't see where people that use them say there are no fuzzies! Everything I cut with them have to be sanded. They leave just as much fuzz as any other blade I have used. They're good blades, I still buy and use them but they leave a lot of fuzz, on top and bottom. -
Sure can't wait to get the new saw boy! Cut this Charles Dearing pattern the last 2 days and used all these blades!
-
Thanks for the info Mike. As for having no room to feed the blade, I have the problem with my Craftsman now. In the pic, I'm cutting 1/8" stock and only have 1 1/2" or 1 3/4" space tp lift it. When I cut 3/4" or 1" stock, it's really a bear!

Been having a lot of trouble with my scroll sawa lately. Don't know what the problem is, but I've been through 3 tensions rods for my Ryobi in the last 2 weeks. I use my 24" craftsman, but since it only has 2 speeds, snail and lightning, which lightning is just too fast and snail is too slow I go through blades like crazy. So, i gave in and ordered a Dewalt 788! I will get it before the 29th. I know the majority of you have one, is there anything I should know before using it? I'm excited!!!
