    When searching on youtube for the videos you spoke of, what is the search criteria? I'm going to give it a try but if I fail, I thought maybe you could point the way. Thanks for the great tutorial/pictorial. Now, I have something else to do with my short time left on Earth.

    Les, this topic has gone off the rails. If you still haven't found the fonts you are looking for, try going to Steve Good's website/blog and check out his font files. That may solve your problem. I hope.

    Well, maybe I misunderstood what his original request was all about. If that is the case, I apologize. By the way, a side note, I love the browser Opera that you put me onto. It has so many aspects that are better and more inclusive. I uninstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Chrome. Never to be used again. Thanks so much.

    Jim, I just did a google search and it appears that it was you who posted the 3 scroll saw fonts that you use. They are called "scroll saw regular", "scroll saw 02" and "scroll saw 03". I'm not sure if you posted the .zip file but in the search they are in a .pdf file. Somehow, I got them. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=65827 Ok, I read further in that same topic and found that the 3 fonts in question are from Steve Good and are in his font viewer or font list or something of that nature. Here is a link to the whole thread as it was written back in December of 2018.

    If the pattern doesn't necessitate it, try using a larger bit. I use Pegas #5 but the projects that I am making allow me to use a 1/8" bit in most cases. No need for a tiny hole if you have the room to use a larger bit. I've never bent a blade inserting it.

    I find that it's more difficult for me to release the lower clamp and then have to fumble around to reclamp it. Much easier to see and do it all above the table. I can certainly understand if you're doing a lot of fine fret work it might be easier to see the holes on top of the work but to have to work under the table to reclamp the blade each time would be much more difficult. But, I'm old so what do I know!

    Thanks to all who posted on this topic. You all have done some great and beautiful work. I am now loaded with new ideas and information. Lots of links too. The Village is the BEST!

    I have an EX but still bottom feed. A habit that I can't seem to break.

    They were posted by someone here on the Village. I don't recall who. Maybe Rolf?

    My "spray booth" is anywhere that the wind isn't blowing. Sometimes in my shop, sometimes outside my shop. I can only dream of a "spray booth".

    That would be after the "thaw" though. Right?

    We need a "smirk" icon.

    I have those fonts if you can't find them Les. They weren't listed on any of the font websites if I recall. And, if I recall, there were 3 of them.

    Hey Buff Pekin, welcome to the Village. Good luck in your scrolling adventures.

    Were the G4's all 26 inch or were there any smaller ones?
  21. OCtoolguy
    How do you do it on compound cuts? Or do you?
  22. OCtoolguy
    Now you guys have me thinking and what you say does make sense. I'm wondering if there might just be a tiny bit of slippage in the clamps that allows the blade to "bow" a bit when the tension is removed. I'm going to have to really watch and see if that is the case. I have been cleaning the ends of the blades because I have noticed that my newest batch seemed to have more oil on them. I haven't tried sanding or roughing the ends but it may come to that. I know some here do that as a general rule. I've never done it but it may just be that the Pegas clamp screws are just too shiny/slick to hold the blades firmly.

    I'd be interested in knowing what the differences are between the G4 and an Ultra. I have a 226VS Ultra and for the life of me, I can't see what the difference is between the two other than looks.
  24. OCtoolguy
    We really do need some different icons. I want to do a "heart" and a "wow" on these. Fantastic work.

    glad you dropped by John.
