    Baltic Birch ply is available in different grades. I use a card scraper which gives me a fine sheen finish prior to applying my pattern with spray adhesive and adhering it onto the wood. When done cutting I apply MS, let sit for a couple of minutes and remove. Apply a second coat to remove any residue. I'll seal the wood first if the item is to be painted or stained. As for lubricating the blades I use a bees wax stick along with a crepe eraser. '

    When stack cutting an intricate detailed pattern Jes I first zero clearance my table and check table and blade are square. Blade size I prefer are numbers 2 and 3 for portraits. I start my cutting from the top left working my way across always scouting what's ahead of me for cutting. I find applyiing masking tape as you go along strengthens the delicate parts with your finger at times needed to hold down as well. Cut at the speed you're comfortable with and be relaxed. Careful removing tape when done cutting. Sample attached. 10603529_1469567353293805_8410544227275241963_n.tiff

    If storage units in your area Jes are like stores with proper lighting and power available then that would be my choice. Of course you need to consider rental fees, traffic, business licence, your time and any other costs and regulations involved that would effect your return. I think if set up properly within a high traffic area you could maybe do well. Of course you may not know if it's profitable until your second or third season. Like anything, there's no guarantee. As for flea markets, if they are anything like the ones here then I'd steer away. A lot to consider when setting up shop away from home.

    Welcome Chuck. If you're referring to which scroll saw is best I would suggest do a little research on some of the most popular brands and any trial operating the saw prior to purchasing is most beneficial. Price doesn't always indicate the best. Like a good hand tool. You just know when it feels right. Also, once you've chosen your brand check out the used market. You'll be surprised whats available at a reasonable price saving yourself many $$.
