    Edward I'm a firm believer in the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. So don't feel like that please. And the answer would be 50 %. What pattern is it. I may be able to resize the insert hole for you and keep the rest of the pattern normal. Another way would be to drill it out with a forstner bit, just hit the center of the hole.

    Don Just looked and worked fine for me. Try to clean out your browsing history and stuff. That helped a lot of people, me included for problems. Keep us posted on how you make out please.

    A friend of mine turns pens and other small items. He uses CA for a finish on a lot of the stuff. Done right Tony is right. Glass like finish.

    Mark Not familiar with your area. You can try and Google scroll saw wood in your area. E-Bay is another place to look. Sheila Landry and Keith Fenton are in Nova Scotia if that's close ? You may what you write them and see if they can offer some more insight. They are both world class scrollers and artist and very friendly. I have many of their patterns. Good luck

    Normally I use Western Red Cedar for outdoor work. I finish it with several light coats of Spar. I always tell me customers that in 2 years they will need to clean it and respray it for added protection. Keep in mind when mounting you need to use something like deck screws that are outdoor rated. Hope this helps.

    If the piece requires heavier hanger I cut it with a slot cutter on my router. I supply the needed hardware to mount it. Takes some planning and careful machining but works great.

    All good information and ideas above. The video that was mentioned is a 4 part series. Here is the link for the 1st part. You should be able to follow the rest from there. If needed I can supply the other links also. Best of luck figuring your issue out.

    Welcome to the village. Nice to see you here. Most wood that is thin will "warp" a bit. You can try to moisten it and weigh it down opposite the way it bent with weights and time. A lot of this depends on the type of wood, your conditions and many other factors. More information is needed to help determine the answer you are looking. The more info you provide the better the answers can be.

    White Oak is a lot denser the Red Oak. A skipped tooth blade works better cleans out the kerf more.

    As stated above. Been there done that. Call in a learning curve :(

    Thanks for the review. I was honestly expecting some much more positive. I greatly appreciate the honest and candid approach though. Maybe when Paul gets his saw he can confirm or have a better experience. Thinking that maybe you received one that slipped past quality control. For the money they are asking I would expect an easier assembly and fit.

    Sound advice Charley. When I first started scrolling I struggled with everything. Once I started getting a little more comfortable I relaxed and things started coming together. I had learned this the hard way. I wished when I was learning I knew this and about some of the forums. Would have been so much help.

    Hello Dick Your right, when you look forward to reading things, thoughts and stuff. It is easy to miss it when you don't have it. So happy for everything to be back up and working

    Great job cutting that. Thanks for sharing.

    Haven't heard of Foxit. interested learning more about it though.

    It all depends on what you want. I have an EX-21 and do 32 inch patterns. I switch to a spiral blade and it works well for me. My opinion is what do you plan to do the most from your saw ? With time, patience and practice you can use almost any saw to accomplish the task at hand. The saw cuts the work, but you control the saw and blades. Most of my work can be done with flat blades but the larger pieces I do need spirals. Just takes some extra effort and learning to accomplish what you need for the job at hand.

    Thanks for all you do Travis. Your the heart of the village. Much appreciated for all your efforts and other things.

    I have been gluing mine to the base and carefully cutting it with sharp scissors, I'm sure there are other ways but this has worked well for me so far.

    Can't emphasize on what's been said. Slow and easy should do the trick.

    I remember seeing photos and articles on these. Would love to attend one if it ever happens again.

    Dave On a shallow box like that, you can put painters tape on the inside of the bottom of the box and along the sides too. Put the sides on the base, mark it carefully then us a straight edge and a sharp razor blade to trim the tape. Apply a small bead of glue to the bottom of the sides and glue the bottom together. Once the glue is set you can peel the tape out of it and apply finish. I hope this makes sense.

    Bruce I am mainly a top feeder. After a while you get to sort of know where the hole is. I would imagine you could take a straight edge and draw cross hairs across the hole at right angles to help align the blade with the hole. Just a thought after looking at the new Seyco with the magnetic top cover marked out that way.
