Scrappile

Just a nice pleasant day trip. I do that often just to park outside of a quilting store and wait for my wife.......

Very, very nice work.

That should be a great saw. Looks like little used and rarely seen for sale used..... If I was in the market and close,,,,, and had the cash to spend...... hummmmm. Top feed and bottom feed,,, your choice.. At the very least it would be well worth checking out.

Story of my graceful life. I dance for joy, and you think I dance because of frustration! Sorry about your bowl. This stuff happens... I think either glue you mention would do the trick. My laugh dilly on your post was for your dancing comment,, not because you broke the bowl.

Very well done Marg. Great cutting.

That is a very fine looking shelf!

All great project! Thank for sharing them.

Very nicely done!

Well done.

Nicely done!

Great pieces!

You have been a very busy man!! Beautiful projects, great cutting.

For scrolling Baltic Birch is the best. You will not find it at Lowe's, or Home Depot. A lot of lumber yards carry it, cabinet shops and I have an unfinished furnisher store locally that sell it. Hobby stores sell it but not usually in full sheet. It normally come is 5ft. x 5ft. sheet although some people find it in 8ft x 4ft sheets. Here is a good article about it and the grades it come in. You want the best grade possible. https://www.woodworkerssource.com/blog/woodworking-101/tips-tricks/your-ultimate-guide-to-baltic-birch-plywood-why-its-better-when-to-use-it/

Welcome to the Village. Glad you moved in. Big size: Charles Dearing use to have videos of cutting large pictures on Youtube. Not sure if they are still available. I use to watch them, they were like 3ft x 3ft and such. He always used a #5 spiral. Had a Hegner saw which has a pretty small table. He had some kind of stands on each side to support the project. Might work to search Charles Dearing on Youtube.

All of the above mentioned.

This is suppose to be FUN! That looks like hard work to me. But, you seem to do mighty fine work even when tired!

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you joined us. Inserts are expendable, that is why they have them that can be removed and replaced. I make my own with a much smaller hole for the blade to go through. Eventually the hole gets bigger and bigger as I use that insert, so I just replace it. The smaller hole helps prevent chip out on the back of your scrolling stock. Also gives more support to the piece so small fragile pieces do not break off a disappear so easily. Also using a sacrificial board taped, nailed or somehow attached to the back of your work piece helps prevents chip out. Reverse tooth blades also help. I find blade size/type is pretty much personal preference and having a variety of sizes and types is a good thing. There are charts on the internet like at the Olsen blade site that give guidance, but it still boils down to personal preference. Practice with different ones to learn what works best for you. There are many videos on Youtude about scrolling, many by Steve Good, that are a big help also. On this site under the "Resources" tab is an "Articles" section, lots of help there, and as you are doing, ask question on this forum... You will get lots of good info.

A bottom feeder here. I thought the video was a little miss leading, in that it didn't account for all the costs. Should include the cost of the switch, and power supply, not everyone has those just lying around. Having said that, I don't think I would want to operate it with a foot switch. Maybe a simple toggle switch. one foot switch under my saw at a time is enough. I would want mine stationary mounted that would move with the saw, My saw is on casters and gets moved, I don't think I would like to have to "zero" in the cross hairs each time I go to scroll.. I think I could figure out a way to mount it with the saw. However, I would like to try it sometime. I am a low down, bottom feeder, and always will be on my Hegner, but I would like to be able to do it either way on my Seyco saw. Just like I like to be able to scroll with flat blades and those "nasty" spiral blades. I have yet to master top feeding a 3/0 or 2/0 size blade, through a hole drilled with a #70 bit, trough the work piece, through a zero clearance insert to the bottom clamp. Guess I am just not coordinated enough to accomplish that.

What I love here, I have been scrolling for several years now and have my ways of doing things. However, I keep reading posts with questions and answers because I still pick up new ideas and different ways of doing things. They don't all work for me but I never know until I try. Sometimes even an old dog can learn new tricks.

Yep another old one that has not heard of Mega man, but you certainly did a great job on that piece.

Okay, thanks, I got it. When I come here I have it set to open with just unread threads and posts and it doesn't show unless I got to "Forum" home.

You certainly did a great job of that one! I love it. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

Very nice portrait!

Okay, HELP! I can not find this banner on the "on the right side of the forum". Is it my eyes or what?

Boy those really pop! Very nice.
