    Great ornaments and thanks for the patterns.

    Looks like a good simple fix, but one more thing to do before scrolling proceeds. You have to remember to lift that stop up. Hope it works out. I have been blessed, I was born a bottom feeder, never could get top feeding working for me. No matter what saw I owned.

    Nice sign and I agree.

    This is sold as an intarsia pattern, but I did it as a segmentation. Just because I like doing segmentation and don't have the wood for intarsia. I saw the pattern and really like it. The picture shown was segmentation also. The pattern is on Etsy at Prinn DesignsShop I did it in 1/4" BB, using stains for color, black. Gerneral Finishes Gel stain "Nutmeg" and "Candlelite", Varathane, "Golden Oak", and "Dark Walnut". Finish with several coats of Deft Lacquer. There are a little over 60 pieces to it. I want to frame it, just haven'd decided how. Something that compliments Native American pictures.

    You can tell but the responses, blades are a personal thing. It is what works best for you. Thinner, softer wood, smaller blade with more teeth. I am a slow cutter, do no like aggressive blades, I mainly use #1 or #2 or smaller for 1/4" wood. I only use a large blade #5 or larger for 3D cutting. Best thing is to buy a dozen each of different sizes and and tooth configurations, try them and find out what works best for you.

    I downsize and increase the sizes of patterns all the time. One options for printing is "custom" size, where you can enter the % size you want it to be. If I want it bigger than will fit a 8.5 x 11 paper I use "poster print" with adobe files or a free software called "Splitprint". I really like it you can add cut marks, page numbers. I print some adobe with it also because I and designate the size I want in inches. Before do that I take the pattern to my editor and crop out any border that may be around the image.

    Just two things I think should be kept in mind about a table saw. This is just my opinion. More people have been hurt using a table saw than probably any other woodworking tool. That is what the emergency doctor told me when I walked into the emergency room with a bloody towel wrapped around my hand. It is also the heart of a wood shop. So I say buy the best you can afford, and although I could not afford one when I got my best, now days if I was younger and more affluent it would be a Sawstop. Barring not being able to swing that, get the most safety attachment you can. Splitters are a must have at a minimum. Grippers are good, I have two. and many other sizes and types of devices to feed stock into the blade.

    Great job!

    Great cutting. I ought to try some of the larger ones just to get some use out of my nice bandsaw that never gets used. I feel sorry for the poor thing.

    Alot of work, but what a great idea. I had a set when I was a young boy. I think it helped develop my love for wood working.

    There are many possibilities in Steve Goods' catalog. Just search "valentine". https://www.stevedgood.com/catalog/index.php if you don't find itin valentine search "heart"

    Very pretty cross, Charlie. Thanks for sharing the pattern, hope I can do it justice.

    Welcome to the village, and thanks for the great introduction. I have always thought the "Men sheds" I read about in Australia is a great idea and would be a lot of fun.

    Here is a good place to look. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/screws/thumb-screws-2~/stainless-steel-low-profile-knurled-head-thumb-screws-9/ You will really enjoy the new saw.

    Somehow, "very peaceful" describes it for me. Nice work.

    Sometimes, older free plywood is better than what is currently available on the market. So is a lot of other wood that was used in furniture and cupboards.
  18. Scrappile
    They are nice!

    Welcome aboard. If you get into serious scrolling you will want to upgrade to a newerer saw. That one only takes pinned blades. You cannot do fine fretwork with it. But may be suficient for what you plan on cutting with it.
  20. Scrappile
    That looks like a lot of work! they will be well received.

    That bellows is $48.95 https://www.advmachinery.com/products/hegner-part-number-017-bellows?_pos=1&_sid=4db1acb96&_ss=r Didn't @OCtoolguy go to a auto parts store and buy a boot for some part of a car to use as a bellows? Was much cheaper than Hegners. My Herner is 15 years old, I scroll alot, would not feel bad if I had to replace the bellows even at $49. It has huffed and buffed a long time.

    @MarieC I used 1/8" BB. I stack cut the manger part three at a time. Lost some fragile pieces on a couple while cleaning and had to recut another stack. Stack cut the holder two sets at a time. They are 1/4" thick. I hope they survive shipping.

    A lot depends on where you live. Is it a 22", variable speed with stand? And it depands on how bad you want it. Tell us more about it. I went and looked at market place in my area, $600 is not way high, if it is in good shape, well cared for and has stand/light/maybe other accessories. The 18" ones go for less, and many have been for sell for a long time.

    Welcome to the village! Building boats has always been my dream. I did build a skin-over-frame kayak. It was great fun to build, but my back would not take the sitting position. I have the hull and running gear built and for a little 12' sailboat sitting in my garage. All I need to finish is to build the mast and sails. Afraid, I will not get it done. Hopefully someone will want to finish it up. Have had plans for several others, but life kept getting in the way. Now I am just plan too old! But scrolling keeps me satisfied now and very enjoyable for me. You are correct, figuring out the blades was the most difficult for me. I just kept trying different ones until I settled on about 5 variations I like and work best for me.

    That saw did not near that if he is talking todays prices. I bet it cost closer to $1000 back in those days. I guess I disagree with his logic. It is still 30 years old.
