Go to www.discountsafetygear.com for the CFR-1 dust mask. Won't fog your glasses and is very comfortable to wear. $10.94 for the mask, $21.34 for 20 filters. Mick

Great cutting, nice frame. Mick

I found out on another forum about using GLAD PRESS AND SEAL, available at your grocery store. Sand your wood down to about 320 grit. Apply the press and seal to the wood smoothing it out with a small roller or I use a spatula type flat edge like a credit card. Cut the excess from around the wood. Spray the back side of your pattern with adhesive and apply to the press and seal. Removes very easily when done cutting, no residue. I will never go back to using painter's tape again. Mick

Gary, I use Formby's Tung oil FInish on most of my projects. Don't know how you can get a wet look without a shine to it. Maybe knock the shine down with a light rub of very fine sandpaper. Try rubbing it down with a crumpled brown paper bag. Good luck. Mick
-
Gary, just a suggestion. Next one you cut have the grain of the wood go lengthwise on both the saw blade and the handle. This is just my opinion. Very nice cuttings. Mick

This is my latest cutting and not one of my better ones. 19 louvers with 1/32" wood between them on the hood. Does anyone have a tip or idea as to how I should have cut them? 1/8" birch plywood, 1/8" luan door skin for the backer, oak frame. Model A's were made from 1928 until 1931. I believe this is a 29 or 30. THe step plate on the running board is throwing me off. Trivia for the old timers on here. Where was the choke handle located on the model A's? Pattern by NOEL 10/7 Mick

Looks like Delta has come out with a new model scroll saw. The Dewalt clone is the 40-690. This one is the 40-695. No price mentioned. http://www.deltamachinery.com/products/ ... tem/40-695 Mick

Go to http://www.scrollsaws.com Rick has a lot of good info on the Dewalt saw as well as others. Mick

Paulina, all modern day finishes are nontoxic once they are dry. Mick

Nice cut, great car. Do you frame them? Mick

26hare, if your saw won't take the pinless blades you can drive the pin out of your blades. Insert the blade into the drilled holes. Replace the pin with a safety pin if there is room. Much easier if you can get blade clamps that will accept pinless blades. I believe Craftsman sells a conversion kit to change the pin type clamps to pinless for some Craftsman saws. Good luck with it. Mick

Pete, you weren't just horsin' around when you cut this. Very nice. Mick

Joey, I use a Dell with Vista. Down in the lower right hand corner of my screen I can change the size from 50% to 400%. Hope this helps. Mick

I use a lot of 2/0 28 t.p.i. Olson blades and find that some will last much longer than others in the same pack. Have never run into any that were dull though. Mick

keeping a detailed pattern from breaking when cutting
Mick replied to jscottj's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Scott, i would cut the stack down to just 3 layers. I use a 2/0 blade with 28 t.p.i. for those delicate cuts. I assume you are using a flat blade. When cutting a number of lines that are very close together such as a grill on a car, stagger the entry holes so they are not all right together. Mick -
Great cut, great pattern and nice custom job. Mick
-
WolfmoonCT, The FD #1 blades I have both ends are the same length. I have had them for a few years. You should be able to tell the tooth direction by feel or lay the blade on a white piece of paper. Good luck. Mick
-
Mike, I would start with a flat blade. Spirals take a bit of getting used to, they cut in any direction you move the wood. Flat blades leave a much smoother cut. I use both but prefer the flat blades. Mick
-
Marvin, great cut, great pattern and great frame. Mick

cirearies, you could try www.scrollsaws.com Rick may be able to help you. His e-mail address is on his website. Mick

Looking at the blade I have the waste on the left, so I guess I am cutting like you, counter clockwise. I have cut the other direction depending on what I am cutting. Have been doing it that way for 19 years. Mick

Clayton, your granddaughter is very lucky to have you for a grandfather. Nice job. Mick

DW, simply beautiful. Mick

I am with Bill on this one. I use 1/8" plywood if I am going to paint them. Oak, mahogany, walnut or cherry if I want to leave them natural. I do think the painted ones show up better on a tree. I made some last year and applied some glitter to both sides of the natural ones. I found glitter that can be painted on at Hobby Lobby. Gold and silver suspended in a clear liquid. Mick
