I tried to print but it comes out too small. I tried to make it larger in paint, gimp and inkscape with no luck. I tried everything in the help menu and nothing worked.
-
One of the problems I am having is with the 2/0 and 3/0 blades sometimes I break a lot of them. I cut slow so I know I'm not pushing too hard. I have tried different tensions from light to heavy. I am also only cutting 1/4" plywood one piece at a time. I think it's the saw. A guy I work with uses the same blades on a DeWalt saw and doesn't have that problem.

I bought some new paper for backgrounds. It's shiny, kind of like foil and comes in a lot of different colors. A guy I work with called it chrome paper. I took the old paper off the rose I made and put this on. I like it much better. This is the rose with the new paper.

I have been using 2/0 and #1 spiral blades and can do a lot better on the small tight stuff.
-
I want to find the one I like before I buy in quantity. I did buy some Olson 5R blades and I can see where they would be good for long straight or curve cuts but I didn't like them for small cuts with a lot of direction changes.

Thanks Barry I will stop at woodcraft when I am out today and pick up a pack. As far as the fuzzies a friend at work told me a little trick. I have a little butane soldering torch and if you run the flame along the back edges the fuzzies go away. I tried that on the two I ave done so far and it worked really good.

Thanks for all the help everybody. Would the reverse blades be good for 1/4 inch plywood?
-
Wow that is very cool. I love fish. Nice job.
-
Good luck, hope it goes good.

Dick nothing is glued, it is all one piece. Thanks Marg. My Mothers name was Rose. My wife and I love roses. We have many rose bushes planted around the house. The trick is keeping the deer from eating them before they bloom.

Looks like that kept you busy for a little while. Looking good.
-
Thanks everybody. My wife loves roses. I need some practice before I start this other pattern I have that's a lot harder. I also wanted to try some new Flying Dutchman blades I got to see if I like them. They are spiral blades number 1 and I like them a lot.
-
I did this one today.
-
You probably hit the nail on the head there Kevin. I have a Ryobi scroll saw that is 25 to 30 years old.
-
Seemed very nice when I talked to him on the phone.
-
Thanks Don. I hope to get them Monday.
-
What are some of the best blades? I have some Pagas blades from Woodcraft and they seem to break easy. I also bought some Oleson blades and they seemed to be better. I bought some Flying Dutchman blades from Mike and am hoping they are good blades, havent got them yet.
-
Very nice, congrats.
-
Looks good Kevin. I had to go on two diets, I couldn't get enough to eat on one. LOL
-
Thanks for the welcome everybody.
-
I think I figured it out, thanks.
-
Thanks Kevin.
-
I finally did my very first scroll saw project. I changed the pattern a little. I learned a lot and would do things a little different next time. This is my first one.
-
Sorry if this gets asked a lot. I did a search and I didn't find what I was looking for. I need help posting pictures. Also how do I upload pictures into my gallery? Thanks.

I am new to the forum and scroll sawing. I haven't done anything yet just been reading. I have a 25 year old Ryobi scroll saw that will have to do. I just wanted to say hi to everybody and thanks in advance for all the help I know I will get here, looks like a great forum.
