    I use the good stuff. The 1/4" is 5 layers and the 1/8" is 3 layers. The stuff I have seen at the big box stores the 1/4" is 3 layers and prone to chip out or have voids in the middle. I do use the stuff from the big box stores for drawer bottoms and the like. But for scrolling I stay with the good BB.

    Denny Did the saw give you indication of a problem before it snapped ? I had my EX-21 about 7 months when one of the bearings went bad. Ray was great over the phone and shipped the necessary parts very quickly. The reason I am asking is I am starting to develop a slight vibration at higher speeds. Appreciate any input. Thanks.

    I'm a top feeder. I do a lot of fret work and don't have issues feeding through the hole.

    Thanks for the update. I have only had one bad experience on Ebay. And it was over software. Nice to see they protect the buyer and provide the service they do.

    Separators have been around for a while. I still use my shop vac and it works for me. Want to upgrade to a cyclone system when time provides the opportunity.

    I would think burn first then stain.Never tried it but sounds right to me. Seems others agree too `

    Small circles get a drill bit. Larger ones I cut one my scroll saw then dress up with a belt sander. For me it is easier to just cut them and regulate the speed and feed on the outer circles. For the inside circle I apply the same principles unless they are smaller them I use a drill bit ( ornaments ) and the like.

    My thoughts are simple. What speed works for you are doing. I regulate mine depending on the job at hand. I can go from full speed to very slow. All blades cut differently as well as the life they offer. It all depends on what you are cutting. Hard wood, baltic birch and the like. But everyone has a comfort zone.Example would be using a spiral cut vs a Ultra reverse depending on the pattern.

    As well as I have designed my own. I purchase patterns also. I enjoy supporting the artist that created them. I have also modified them for my personal needs. I think the scrolling community should support each other. Just my 2 cents worth but we all enjoy the addiction of scrolling. I always give credit to the artist, only right to do so

    I have an EX-21 and love top feeding. Although it has it's merits I enjoy top feeding. I will sat it is a very interesting machine and worth looking into.

    I love fishing, never got into the fly end of it. I do fish tournaments but for bass. I'll just say congrats and hope it's right ?

    We all have been there and done that. We live and learn. Kudo's on the effort !

    Depends on the piece I am working on. If the backer shows I finish the same as the top. If it hidden usually 2 light coats of finish to protect it.

    Iggy Looks good so far.Seen that setup for finishing, not sure how it will work for scrolling though. The fine dust floating through the air is a big concern. I also agree about having more room. Steve Good did a review on a dewalt dust filter that may help. Not familiar with the one you mentioned or if it is the same style. Best of luck working out the bugs.

    I use blue painters tape on my work. If I am cutting something thick, I will add packing tape to the top. Just make sure you get it down smooth, it will collect dust under it making hard to see the lines.

    Welcome to the addiction. It is a frustrating yet wonderful world. As you progress you will find what works best for you I have settled into the the flying dutchman blades. Other prefer a different blade. Not to add to the confusion but, Online blades are pretty decent. You can get them from Seyco.com or Judy Roberts site. I do like the #7 blades they sell.
  18. WayneMahler
    Great job. I would be happy to receive something like this. Hats off to you.

    I have an older Craftsman 16" in my shop. I purchased it off craigslist while my one saw was in for repairs. It takes tools to change the blades. From the one photo you showed it looks like the bolt to tighten on the blade is missing. I would suggest looking in the manual for a parts list and brake down. And see if you lost a bolt in the lower clamp. Just a thought and from looking at the one photo. Normally there are two bolts in a clamp. I can only see one in the photos you posted. Keep us posted on you progress please.

    Glad to see you got something worked out hawkeye. I would definitely get in touch with ebay about the seller. Happy scrolling.

    I have a full sized lathe. I use it for turning spindles, table legs etc for furniture. I never got into pens and stuff. It's fun and there is a lot to learn. Going used is the best way for the least investment. How ever you will want a good set of tools and learn to sharpen them right. YouTube has a lot of videos to help you along the way. Best of luck.

    Great setup. Looks to be as efficient as can be. I do something similar when I cut ornaments. Thanks for sharing. Looks like this can be applied to many other items also.
  23. WayneMahler
    I have cut the full set of Steve's. Very enjoyable work. The second cutting looks great too. I'm hoping it gives him peace and strength as well.
  24. WayneMahler
    That's really nice work . Thank for showing the photos.
