Help with wood burning and staining question.
Scrappile replied to jbrowning's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I would burn first. I might be sorry, but that is the way I would do it. Now maybe some experts will respond with the correct answer. -
I guess I cheat all the time, I use every tool I have for what it was intended for. I cut my scroll saw blanks to size on the table saw, re-saw wood on the band saw, use my thickness planer when needed to get a piece of wood to thickness for scrolling ...etc.

Beautifully done.
-
Very very nice bowl.
-
That is some super cutting. Put together very well.
-
You have been having some time in the shop. Time well spent, very nice picture.
-
Holy cow, Dick that is beautiful!
-
Peter, that is beautiful... Lot of work. Worth all your effort.

Very clever. I really like that. Not to early, Christmas is only little over 3 months away. I am working a Christmas project also. -
Nice job on the pattern and cutting it. Darn, I should have given you a dozen 3/0 spirals to try when you were here. I don't use them as much as I use to, I think it was you that suggested I try the FD Penguin Silver blades and they are my go to blade now for the portraits..
-
Great work!
-
Nicely done!
-
So glad you joined us. Like the others have said, very nice work you have posted in your gallery. Very artsy, and classy. Anxious to see more. Thank you for your service.

Keep in mind, WTB lets you mix all type/sizes (same brand) blades to get the gross discount. My last order I save $6 buying from over what it would have cost me to buy the same blades from the Mike's Workshop site, even with the little higher shipping cost.
-
Charley, nice post thanks for taking the time. You talk about lubing the blade and using "sealing wax" is it "Paraffin wax" you are using? Does it leave any wax on the cut that would interfere with finish when applied?
-
I have not see that. I know that vendors sell the pattern makers patterns, but I'm sure that is legit, a deal is made between the pattern maker and the vendor. Mike Williams, a new member and a great pattern maker, may comment on how that works.
-
Denny, I've found that a lot of shops that sell patterns done by other designers use the designer's initials as part of the pattern number. I know WTB does. Ones done by Charles Dearing will have a pattern number of CD and a number. Mike WIliams' will start with MW. I have not figured out all the initials yet.

My favorite one I built using an old narrow kitchen cabinet someone was discarding. It has a drawer and cupboard storage under the saw, the cabinet is narrow enough I can straddle it. It has wheels for moving it around.
-
I buy patterns all the time. I don't make patterns, and when I see a pattern I really like, I purchase it. I especially like Charles Dearing's and Mike Williams' patterns. Not real sure what info they could have, cut out the black, leave the white.
-
Very well cut.
-
Very well done. You are right to be proud.
-
Welcome to the Village. I am very familiar with your patterns, have many of them and have scrolled several. I see you have been adding new ones. I really enjoy cutting them.
-
Well, that is really nice. I like it.
-
Don't use a rag. A small disposable foam brush works well or put some in a little pump spray bottle.. works well also.. or continue to use tape, works well also.

Terry, glad you joined us in the Village. I think you will enjoy you new neighbors.
