You should be ashamed,,, they look horribly well done each and all... I have to ask are you going to scroll the "Russ Beard Scroll Saw Patterns 2021" in that picture? Nice work Dick! -
Clever, cute and well done.
-
GReat scrolling... sounds like an interesting pattern, only 6 holes to drill. Can't decide which I like best, I agree the darker on looks like scrolled in leather.
-
BEAUTIFUL! Well done.

JUST SOMETHING INTERESTING: Talk about holding screws while you get them started in the place they need to be started. Here is an old screw driver from my Dad's old tool box... I used it often when wiring my house. It has a split blade. To secure and hold the screw you slide the forward piece back into the handle. Place the split blade into the slot of the screw and slide the front part forward as it pushes the split blade together, making the blade thicker until it holds and holds the screw.. Works great, however I hardly use a slot type screw anymore. All are phillips, allen or socket heads anymore. But this puppy got it's use in the olde days.

Just thinking of you today... wondering how you are. Great to hear from you.
-
Very well done!
-
Great set... One project I hope to do yet before I meet the big scroller in the sky... I want to try to scroll the light pieces with artifical Ivory. Not sure that is what it is called. I use to turn in,, not sure how it will scroll.

I have never seen yellow heart with flame.. Very beautiful.

Very beautiful, Dave!

Best western book, best western series ever. Great job!
-
I love them both, the second one is the epitome of WOW!
-
Very interesting. I bet I could buy a lot of precut, thin wood for the price of the gadget he has on that bandsaw.
-
Welcome, glad to have you with us.
-
The real differences to look for... Florescent bulb or LED, plastic lens or glass. Which ever works best for you. the harbor freight, in my opinion best for the price. Glass lens and led cost more, may be worth it for your eyes.

Okay now, be fair, you did not learn control with straight blades with just one or two tries either. I think I started with spirals because when I first started I wanted do do detailed pictures and Charles Dearing was who I admired and watched. He had never used a straight blade. I love doing the detail pictures but no one told me no one would want them.. They look at them and hoo and ahhh, I say if you want it you can have it, and they put it down and walk on... Now I us straight blades the most. They one thing in scrolling I never have been able to learn is top feeding. Don't worry about it anymore because I only have one saw and it is bottom feed only.

Hard to answer I guess. Mood, amount of detail in the picture, what ever I feel I need to use to get the effect I want. Stupidity, I really do not have a set of rules. Blade are tools, I use the tool I feel I need at the time. There are things I can do with a spiral I don't think I could do with a straight blade and visa versa. Someone else could but I know I could not. I could not have cut this picture with a straight blade. Others maybe able to but not me. You just have to uses what you feel works for you. Do not look for rules, it is open to you.

For veining It is easier to control a straight blade, so I follow the pattern line with a small straingt blade. Then go back over it with a small sprial, it s quick because the spiral blade will follow the first cut. And for the other reasons I went back and edited into my first response.
-
I use both, normally. when I do veins like in leaves, or feathers, like in bird wings, I will first cut them with a small straight blade then go back over them with a small spiral.. great way to easily in crease the kerf, just enough that it shows better. but not too wide. And like I said in another post, I I shave to thicvkness things like grass blades, whiskers, small twigs with them. A Flying Dutchman 3/0 or a Pegas 2/0 is great for this.
-
Didn't take you long to cut that! turned out great.... Paul is amazing! Not me Paul, the other other talented Paul!
-
Really a beauty. Very nice work.
-
Use to buy blades for them, thought they had gone out of business. They were good to deal with. But, now I buy my pegas blades from Denny.
-
The Grizzly is the one I have. I have had no problems with it that were not operator error. A band saw us something that I think you should have one for every blade you may use.. I HATE changing blades in a bandsaw. But I think that is a good saw. But it is the only one I have had with the except an old Craftsman I inherited from my Dad. I added a 12 in riser to mine.. Don't do much re-sawing.. Want to try, but am not sure what is the best blade for it.
