I just learned something regarding blade tension!
Scrappile replied to OCtoolguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I have to agree with NC Scroller. Just my opinion, I have nothing to back it, but, to stretch the blade, I think you would break the tension lever first. The one exception to that may be a spiral blade. The it is not really stretching the blade, it may tighten the twist of the blade a little. Again not proof just my opinion and sometimes my opinion gets twisted. -
Got to say I think that is one of your finest. Beautifully done. I love the picture.
-
Another fine one. Great job.
-
Very well cut. Awesome job.

Welcome to the village.
-
Welcome!! Look forward to see your work.
-
Very well done all of them! Some very nice wood also. Great pieces.
-
Hummm, I don't see Abbey and Ali in that batch,,,,,,,!!
-
And you were. Especially difficult with the aggressive teeth that blade has.
-
Very nice job and the toothpicks, great addition.....
-
that really looks nice. I tried to get my daughter interested in the paper quilling a few years ago, but she says she is too busy.... I like it.

They are all really well done.

When I top feed, I release the blade from both clamps, thread the blade through the piece and table hole and then reclamp the blade. Sounds slow and awkward, but I can do it pretty fast. I don't even raise the top arm to do it. I cannot feed a #2/0 blade down through the piece of wood, through a hole drilled with a #65-#70 bit, with it clamped in the top arm without destroying the blade. I can get it done with the method I describe faster than it take my Fein Vac to automatically shut off once I stop scrolling to change to another hole,,, most times anyway. The only problem I have with it is if I go back to bottom seeding after doing my method of top feeding for a while, I forget I am bottom feeding, reach down and release the bottom clamp and there goes my blade to the floor.... Then I slap my forehead, reach for my magnet on a stick tool and retrieve my blade and get setup to scroll again.

Nothing wrong with that box! Looks real good to me. Here is my total knowledge about finishing:

Beautiful cutting, Ron. I love that picture..
-
That is is a great job!
-
Very well done!
-
Very well cut. Love the wood you chose also. I like the idea mentioned on the forum the other day of using the reclaimed pattern as a pattern to spray paint on the door or wall. Would look neat in someone workshop...
-
Yes well done and thank you. I often go to peoples albums and look at their projects. I get ideas and inspiration from looking at them. I wish everyone would create an album of their works.

This is one of my cuts I start as a filler to work on while taking a break from other projects. Only problem is I just kept cutting once I started... I saw the pattern and thought of a young girl, the daughter of a friend of my daughter, that is a big horse fan. I mean she can tell you all about them... Her folks recently got her into a horse jumping class.. she is doing great. Was in her first competition recently. I hope to give this to her, I think she would like it but I want to get her parents okay first. I like it, if they say no, it will fit on my wall!! Actually I stack cut two, I will have one anyway. I am a horse fan also... This is a Charles Dearing pattern. I had to decided between three of his patterns. I pondered a while then selected this one. When I put it in my horse folder, I noticed I already had the other 2!! Does someone have just two many patterns????

Pegas blades are good, no doubt, if I were you, I would get a few different to try. I, like you was FD only for a long time, but I tried the Pegas blades and there are a few that I really like and use often. I think in general, most like the Modified Geometry blades. I have tried a few of them and I find them too aggressive for what I like to do. I do like Pegas Reverse Skip #3 and the Double Skip #1. The other one I like is the #2/0 spiral. The rest of my blades are FD. I do think Pegas are worth trying and you may like some of or all of them.

Great job! I have a book titled "Scroll Saw Art" , by Patrick Spielman and Kerry Shirts. Some of the patterns in it say to enlarge the patter by over 200%! I haven't figured out how to do that.

Congrats. If I ever see a good buy like that on a G4 I will probably pick it up. I have see a few but they are usually asking around $600 or so or too far to travel for. Speed control, I think you will like, for sure. I change speed quite often depending on what I am scrolling.
