I have never been able to figure out Facebook. Been going to have my niece show me someday. Seems like every time I get on Facebook I start getting a bunch of email I do not want of people want to be my friend, that I don't even know.

Looks like you got a great start at it. Something I've wanted to try some day, like so many other things. What do you hold the coin with while you cut? I've seen a few homemade jigs for that purpose.

Great job on the boxes!!
-
That is a great project!! Congratulations!! You must be an engineer?
-
Very well done, DW. I do not understand how you figure the angle. How critical is it to have a certain angle? You certainly have it all figured out.
-
Nice one, Gordie!

I was a real skeptic of torching the fuzzes until I tried it once. Works very well. I like your extension of that.

Well it would certainly worry me. When I had my 788 I ran it a full speed most the time. I run my Excalibur full speed most the time. That is the way I saw. You should be able to run at the speeds it was made for. If it is under warrenty, I'd have it looked at, if there is a repair place near.

All this word scrolling going on lately made me want to give it a go. This was just practice, done with flat blades, which I am having to re-learn, tain't easy for me. I had a good time though and will get a couple more practices in, then do a real one. This is a pattern done by Multitom. I have two others to try also,

Acetone will dissolve superglue. In sure what your what it will do to the plastic on the knobs if you left that on. If it is nylon acetone won't dissolve it but it will dissolve plastic. I find it hard to believe that your knobs caused the vibration though. Is you saw on a real level spot? Can you add some weight to the stand it is on, like sand bags? Be very careful with those knobs. You over tighten the screws it will damage the threads on the aluminum clamps.

What a lot of work!! Great job. I'd build a glass case to put it in!
-
Very nice work, Gordie.
-
You really did a great job on that sign. You need to slow down a little though, watch that blood pressure.
-
Very nice!
-
Very unique and a beautiful picture. Welcome to the forum, and thanks for sharing your work with us.
-
You did a fine job of it. Great pattern and great cutting and finishing.

Some very clean cutting and finish work.

Love for woodie. Always wanted one. Great scrolling, Steve. -
Looks like some nice scrolling to me, but, maybe I need to get out of the shop more. I don't know what Vaping is.

My method on clamping the spiral, on my saw and I think it would work just as well on the DeWalt. I had a DeWalt, but didn't know about spiral when I had it. Anyway. I lightly clamp it where I want the top of the blade to be in the top clamp. Then I feed it to the bottom clamp. Insert it in the bottom clamp, loosen the top clamp and tighten the bottom clamp as I hold the blade where I want it. then I can clamp it in the top clamp after feeding it through the hole. I do not push the blade all the way to the back of the bottom clamp or it will bend as I tighten it, on my saw. maybe that is just a quirk of my saw, I do not clean with MS or lightly sand the ends of the blades. I have never had a problem with them coming out of the clamps. In my opinion the answer to your question is NO. Besides the flat end spirals are not really flat. They just have less spiral on the ends.

Nice job. There are some great patterns on here and all free. I wish I had started scrolling when I was a young man so I could get to them all.

On the ones I have put a backer on, so far I have laid the picture down, face down, sprayed the back of the picture with 3M 77 adhesive and laid the backer on. I use flat black poster board. So far it has worked just fine, however a person could get spray adhesive in the cutouts. I have not noticed it so far, but I've been watching for it. I keep a jar with mineral spirits in it, some pipe cleaners close by to clean it up if needed. With poster board it would have to be cleaned before the poster board is put on, I would think. Not sure what the MS would do to poster board. One of these days I will test it.

Great scrolling Gordie. Very clean.

A finishing question, lacquer over lacquer.
Scrappile replied to dansnow's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I've had it happen in warm weather, and in different spots on the same piece. That is why I try to stay away from lacquer. -
Those are great, all of them. May I ask, do you remember where the "Welcome" pattern came from?
