    ​I think the font name is Edwardian ITC Script. It is a cool font I use all the time. I have no idea where it comes from. Might have come with Microsoft Office. Don

    If the piece is not too heavy I have been using the 3M Velcro Picture Hangers. The specs say 4lbs weight per set but I have used 2 sets some time. Works great for Intarsia pieces too.

    Done on scroll saw. Size is 7 1/2 long 3 inches high (oval). Made of mahogany Pattern is from Monroe Drutcher. This is very delicate at the weaves and staves are 1/6 thick.

    I buy my sanding mops from Stockroom Supply. I bought a cheap drill press from Princess Auto (aka Harbor Freight) for $60 and use all the time. I have the mini mops for my dremel and hardly ever use. Some videos of use at http://www.theonlinewoodshow.com/show/company.php?number=20102&cat=2 Don No affiliation to Stockroom supply but a satisfied customer.

    Great job. Bring backs memories. We went to Australia when we got married (1968) and the first thing we did when we got off the boat was buy a Holden. I think is was a 58. We had a great time and put lots and lots of miles on it. We left 9 months later and sold it for the same price we paid for it. Loved it. Thanks for posting Don

    I use the ones that look more like files. There are times with an Intarsia fit you need just a little coaxing and this works.

    The stuff that Michaels carry is not the real BB. I was doing a favour to a club member who had promised a bunch of plaques for his church and then got tennis elbow so bad he could not scroll. I said no problem. He gave me the wood with patterns and I did a couple and it chipped real bad. He said yeah that was a problem as he had only got 2 good ones out of the 4 he did. Didn't matter how you applied the pattern. Painters tape pulled off top layer. I put on real BB that comes as 5 x 5 and not one chip out. Did 8 more. Lesson learned.

    Congratulations. The best thing about the Rikon is that they have a 5 year warranty. We recently got the VS model at our club and most the guys who use it like it. It gets well used so the warranty was a big reason we bought it. 6 months and not an issue so far.

    Welcome to the Money Pit. The lathe is the cheap part. If you can buy used the better as often you will get the accessories thrown in. It seems when you start you NEED (or really want) better tools, chucks, mandrels, sharpening system etc. A must is the wolverine sharpening system. I have a Nova 1624. Great but it is not true variable as you have to change belts. It has been great machine and I still use on occasion. If you have a turning club near by check with them as many times they have members wanting to sell equipment plus I think lessons are invaluable. Don

    Good use of tilted table is for inlays. If you do a search on the forum for inlay you will find lot of examples. Jim Finn did a post on making boxes with inlays. His work is outstanding http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/15518-making-simple-boxes-with-inlay-in-lid/?hl=inlay I have used for raising letters on signs and plaques. Just finished a couple of boxes that I made from a youtube video. I will post pictures of mine later. The plans are at http://www.seafax.co.uk/index.php?id=a-woven-scroll-saw-basket https://youtu.be/OXW-FfxCXiA

    That is really well done. I put that on my todo list. What blade did you use. I usually use FD ultra reverse and a lot of that sanding goes awau. don

    I believe that Steve site is okay. There is a virus and malware scan done everyday. Steve is a real geek so if something went wrong he would be all over it.

    I would put a backer on it as you never know what the colour of the wall behind it will be. I have backed up a cuttings like this with felt. Looks nice and gives a little fuzzy look. don

    When we used to go to shows to attract new members to our club we used to take a DW788. We have a stand with wheels and the machine just slides out to the back of an SUV and vice versa. You just have to make sure of your heights of where you are going to store in in your RV so you don't have to lift. My bet is that if you have some stuff to sell you will do okay in a camp ground as long as not too expensive. Don

    Attached is the chart about Olsen Blades. olsen blade selection.pdf I am a big fan of Flying Dutchman blades and there is a section on selecting blades there. The link is https://mikes-workshop.myshopify.com/

    Welcome I so both scrolling and turning. As you say turning is a bottomless pit for tools. I did a lot of turning and bought lots of stuff is really didn't need but it was fun. I ran out of friends to give bowls, pens and pepper mills to so now I do a lot of scrolling. All my friends have Steve Goods cheese boards but I still have lot on the to do list. I am not sure where you are in PA but there are a few turning clubs around. I still turn Wig Stands for Cancer patients and I know that there is a club in PA that have picked up on those to give them to local cancer support centres. Pens are addicting too. don

    Well done. Cutting them is addictive. I did lots and lots a few years ago and still love doing anything in 3d. One thing I do is add some moss I bought at the dollar store to the hole. Hides the drill mark.

    Welcome to the village. I live not far away in Brooklin, Ontario. I am a member of the Durham Woodworking Club in Oshawa. We have quite a few scrollers in our club including a master scroller in Orno. He is well known as he teaches at Lee Valley and at our club. If you want to hook up let me know. Don

    My Home Depot will cut 2 or 3 for free for transportation. If you go in on the weekend the cuts are very approx. I went in on a Monday with a cut list and layout for a large project I was working on and went back 2 days later and they had cut 5 sheets of MDF into about 30 pieces. No charge but I passed the guy a Tim's card with $10. I pays to be nice to the old guys. My supplier of Baltic Birch wil cut down to 1/4 no charge but I have a table saw to do what ever I want from there. They will do 12 x 12 no charge if you give them time.

    Love the different woods. Good idea on the smaller hole. I must give it a try. I fill the whole with some moss that I bought at Walmart. Don
