    Sometimes, a simple pattern is so nice. Well done, but that may not have been a simple cut in Oak.

    Hello!

    Scrappile replied to NathGA's topic in Introductions

    Glad to have you move into the Village!

    Who said you could not do fret work? They were so wrong. That is beautiful

    Ignore my response about Poster board.

    Help me out @OCtoolguy, Like Kevin writes. What backer are you asking about? I assumed the one backing the picture to enhance the picture, not the one to reduce fuzzies as you cut. I use the poster board to enhance the picture, once it has been cut. To completely different uses.

    not my kind of art, but, for sure, true art. Wonderful job.

    You do great work, Frank. Of the two you show, I like yours best. To me, the background on the second one is too busy. Distracts from the main piece of the picture. But I am no artist, so what I say is just personal preference. But personally, I like yours best!

    For me, hole saws do not stay sharp very long. If I am just making toys for little kids. I buy the wheels. If I am trying to make a model of a car, I turn the wheels on my Lathe. It is time-consuming but very rewarding.

    Very well done. That would have been a very emotional piece to make.
  10. Scrappile
    WOW! I would think after that many of those, no pattern would be needed. Turn the scroll saw on auto.

    Very well done Frank. The kind of picture I can look at and think smooth, relaxing thoughts!

    I have not used cardboard from boxes. I have used flat black poster board as a backer on many pictures I have cut. Have never had a problem.

    Great work!

    I have never drawn blood with my scroll saw. I have caused a blister from a burn by touching the blade when it was hot.

    UV inhibitors finish and. keep it out of bright light.

    Nice.!

    Mighty fine, Dick. I will not show this to Patti. I took her to Costco this afternoon as a Valentine gift. I hate to go to Costco more than anything. But figured during the Super Bowl, it would be less crowded and it surely was! Now I should be good for another year.

    Right, I think I have some Krylon, will have to check. I may be too old, but worth checking.

    Not my best, most difficult

    I just finished cutting this today. I am excited because it is the third most difficult cutting I have made in all my scrolling years. It is a @Jim Blume pattern, (thanks Jim), and I copied the way I cut from a person named Elke Sachs Kohon Wiks. If I got that wrong, I apologize. It is not finished, it will have a flat-black backer and Deft semi-gloss lacquer. I cannot finish it in my house, the fumes are really bad for my wife. Have to wait for warmer weather to finish outside. It was a challenge, I used Pegas #1 Skip, Pegas #1 Modified Geometry, 3/0 FD New Spiral, blades. Reason why it is nice to have two scroll saws if you can. I was rolling back and forth between my two saws.

    That is a very well done portrait!

    Most important is fixing your saw. I read somewhere recently that some high schools and junior colleges have electronics courses. If you find out they do, you might take your control board in and see what they think. Be a good project for some enterprising student. Buy the class some donuts or something.

    Still getting used to the Hawk saw I purchased in December. I like simple. One of the things on the Hawk that I kept looking at and could not see why it was done the way it was done is the tensioning. Hegner is so simple, so stable, and straightforward. I love how it works. So after thinking about it, I made a simple modification to the Hawk. I set my tension by the feel and sound of the blade. It is just natural for me. I think the engineer that designed Hawk's really went overboard. Keep in mind this is just me, hundreds of Hawk owners like the way it is designed. I went for the clunky: to simple knob. Reach back a adjust the tension by turning the little knob. Seems to work very well, smooth and simple. Not sure if it will hurt anything, time will tell.
