The only time mine would scrape is if the blade was a little loose and I was at 45 degrees tilt. Maybe some photos will help? You can also call Ray at Seyco and ask him.

Runa I don't use Olson blades. But they have a blade chart on there website. I'll give you the link for it here . Others have seen this and I think it is a good place to start and also learn and grow. Best of luck.

Sounds like a very exciting project. I too would love to see the final piece.

Looks great, nice job on the fix.

Edward I have had the same issue from time to time. Sometime it is as simple as changing your display a little. Others you lower or raise the price. It's all about the customers perception. Then there are times when you donate the piece for the Chinese auction if they have one. Most of the smaller shows I do have an auction, when people see your offering they come looking to see what else you have.

Interesting patterns. First though they were from Jeff Z but looking someone different. May have to order a few

I do mine by hand. Seems to work out the best for me. There is a few videos out about doing on the chop saw although I never got the hang of that part. Seemed easier for me from hand cutting.

Hi Runa Welcome to the village. Lucky brought up a good question for you. How big is your saw? Using spiral blades helps eliminate some of the restraints of size. They do cut in all directions and take a little practice to get used too. Just remember to keep it slow and comfortable and enjoy the experience

Good luck in the show. Sounds like the perfect venue for you

If I made that it would have to read caution old folks snoring ! I can attend to the Mrs. but not myself;f. Never stayed up to listen

Bill Thanks for your thoughtful response. I think a lot of us feel the same way and we all learn as we go. Tapping into a wealth of different opinions is more than words can describe as we all grow together.

There is something special about the village. Both new and older scrollers come here, read and learn or help. Travis has done a great job on putting together a special place for all of us to come, learn and share tips tricks and assistance. So hats off to Travis and everyone else that has made this place a safe haven for us all to grow.

I sign most of my work. Normally on the back side with a permanent fine tipped marker before I apply the finish.
-
I was thinking either aniline dye or Ritz dye diluted. Both work very well but my preference would be the aniline dye. dries quicker as it is alcohol based. Just beware with the fumes.

Tough issue to struggle with. Hoping things work out best for you.

Paul The one I do I got from Charles Dearing. Over 400 internal cuts. I resized it to approx. 32 wide by 8 1/2 high inside a frame behind glass.Takes a while to cut it anfd you have to use spiral blades which is typical of Dearings patterns.

I have 2 bed side tables to finish for a customer. Also want to get started on The Crown of Thorns and Last Supper scrolling work. I also need to clean my shop up so that should keep me pretty busy.
-
Interesting idea. Never thought about it . Keep us posted as to the outcome please.
-
aI've used a 20 " fan with great results Every shop is different so try and see what works best for you .
-
Congrats on your finds and savings. Always nice to hear when someone gets a good deal.
-
Congrats on 2 new saws. And getting them both the same day. Certainly a great reason for a day of hooky from work.
-
Best of luck. I have always enjoyed walking around car shows. Please post how it turns out for you.

Needle in a hat stack, Congrats
-
I have seen some patterns that worked for business cards. With a little modification on size they should work well for photos also. Just a thought

"Bucking" saw; any steel table-insert replacements?
WayneMahler replied to Kris's topic in General Scroll Sawing
This can be a tough problem to solve. It can be the machine, the blade or the user. If it's the machine well being new there is a warranty. If it is the user, touchy subject. If you install the blade upside down it can cause this. Blades are designed to cut on the down stroke. This applies pressure to keep the wood down. Knowing what blades you are using can help with this. As for the blade option once again would need to know more information. Reverse blades cut on the down and up stroke. Regular blades cut on the down stroke. I'm trying to keep this basic to help. If you can provide more information you may get better results for your question. Being new we all have suffered growing pains . This I state from personal experience
