    Two come to mind very fast. The Last Supper by Charles Dearing cut at 32 wide and 8 1/2 high for the art work. And a portrait of Christ on the cross looking up to heaven. Can't remember the designer though. Here are the photos of these 2 pieces.

    I subscribe to it. I like it. My wife usually grabs it and says I want this or something else in it. Good magazine. Their website is : http://www.scrollsawer.com/ .

    Dick The wife and I always donate a project to Sheep ainc. They provide "free" medical assistance to those that don't have insurance. A great cause with a GOD blessed ending. Thank you so much for what you have provided for such a great cause, Isn't wonderful to help those we don't know

    If you belong to facebook look up Donnie. He has quite a few free patterns. I believe it is Foot of the Cross for his dedicated page. Search and you should find it. I have cut a few of his crosses and they are nice.

    Heard of using a fine file but not a stone.

    Interesting question. I don't know of anything strictly for scrolling. Interested in seeing other replies to this.

    Looks great. Love the live edge. Really makes the cutting.

    To try and answer your question. A finishing blade has 80 teeth on it. A good combination blade of 60 teeth will give you a great smooth cut and can be used for other things. I keep a 40 tooth on my chop saw, good general blade and works very well for me. I also cut miters for frames on my chop saw, but I cut them all from one side of the blade. I also have a good miter guage for my table saw that works very well. The key is to make sure everything is adjusted and tuned properly. I hope this helps answer your question. The blades I use in my shop, Freud and Forrest II.

    Great job on designing and cutting them.

    I do a lot of delicate or fragile work. I have found that using a zero clearance insert over the blade opening helps a lot. I also use a backer board and stack cut them. Looking at a pattern and figuring out where the "danger" areas are I cut them first. Also as mentioned above putting the cut out back in ans securing it with a piece tape helps stabilize the work. I use playing card taped to my table top for zero clearance, they lay flat and offer no interference as long as you make sure the tape is flat. A quick cleaning assures good adhesion of the tape though. Nice work cutting that by way. I have cut a few of them and they are a lot of fun.

    What a touching story. My prayers are with Asher and his family. Great job on making a little boy Capt. America

    First thing I thought of was what Dan mentioned. Make sure the back up screw is where you can see it in the blade holder. Also changing the the tip and back screw is an option. If you don't have them they can be readily ordered from Seyco. Good luck.

    I have a DeWalt and no regrets I have replaced the hook and loop pad on mine and is was economical. Would not change it for anything. Very dependable and easy to control . Not sure if this is what you are after but this is my opinion and experience. Definitely would recommend this tool.

    Playing cards have worked well for me. A card, blue tape and go. Quick simple and cheap.

    Normally I cut mine on my table saw. If I was going to cut it by hand, I would probably use a fine toothed back saw. I have several Japanese pull saws and think the blades are a good fit also, just seems the bak saw would be a better choice for me.

    I understand they are trying to reorganize and get new leaders. I have held off to see what happens.
  19. WayneMahler
    I was thinking the same thing as Dan. Mounting short pins in a board. Nice idea though, it is a pain to make sure you get the holes lined up.

    Any of the "low priced" intro saws are going to have some form of issue, mostly vibration and some of the components made from cheaper metals. The Porter Cable 18" isn't a bad saw for someone beginning. I think they run about $200 at Lowes. You may want to look into craigslist for a cheap used saw to start learning on. Some of the craftsmen I understand are pretty decent. Then if you get addicted to the hobby save your money up or an upgrade. Dewalt makes a good saw and you an find them on craigslist too. If you have time do some research in your area. You'll learn what to look for etc. If you go used, run it, take some test pieces and blades and try it out. Check for noise, sloppiness and vibrations. Best of luck.

    Sounds like a speed control issue. Just return it for a "new" saw. Had that problem on my old Porter Cable as well as a my first saw which was a Ryobi. Good luck, HD seems pretty easy to deal with as long as you have your receipt and the box it came in.

    Hard to put a price on the enjoyment you get from scrolling or the look on a face that see's your work and loves it. I do a fair amount of crafts shows and just watching the people is very enjoyable. It is not a cheap hobby and I have no regrets of getting into it. Thinking this year tracking all my expenses and profits for curiosity sake.

    Edward The Mrs. seen the patterns and we talked. Cutting them out of 1/8 BB and staining the different colors. Guess time will tell but does seem like an interesting idea. We were talking $5 a pair. With the wood, hooks and other hardware I might have about 30 cents invested in a pair. Of course these are cut from scraps too. Good luck and keep us posted please.

    I just make a simple zero clearance cover. I use playing cards and tape them to the surface of the table.

    I like it natural. I did add some colored felt to the bottom of the ones I cut. Staining fret work I use a small model paint brush you can work the stain into the little corners. Time consuming but effect. Tries the flooding thing seems to waste a lot of stain and a much bigger mess.
