i would like to order some sprile blades , i finnaly was abel to use one that i did not mess up on a patteren . what i want to know is what would be a good size blade for beginners with sprile blades, i have been scrolling for a couple years but the sprile blades seem to mess with me , the one i used was a home depot blade, but i would rather order from mikes scroll saw flying dutchman, unless some one knows of any better ones ,,, thanks john ..

hi i am oringaly from baltimore md. moved to a little town called zephyrhills fl. in the tampa bay area , started scroll sawing abought 2 years ago, my son john jr passed away so i was in need of a hobby always loved to work with wood so i pulled out my old scroll saw from when i was a boy and started to cut things to keep my mind ocupied and hands busy,,not long after i bought a ryioby for 90 bucks the tenshion broke got another free same thing , saw a add for excalibur for 100.00 bucks worked great for abought 6 months and one of arms broke only to find out it was so old they quit making parts for it , i use dewalt 788 , its ok but cant do fret work to much back and forth motion of the blade,, wife is tight with the funds would love a new ex. so any way that is my story...
