I'm totally ignorant here but I was wondering why your pieces don't have a "burned" edge look?

I've looked in every way I can think of so mayby somebody here has an idea. Where can I find this pattern? curious kitten pattern by Kenny Hopkin

scroll or band?

Are you referring to the Pegas scroll saw or bandsaw? If scroll saw, read on. They haven't been out all that long so finding a used one is like that perverbial needle in a haystack. BUT, there are used Excaliburs floating around there. In fact there is a very lightly used GREEN one right near me with stand and they have just reduced it to $550. It's a 21" made in Taiwan. That's the same factory as the Pegas is made in. Where are you located?

Check the brushes. They are probably worn out and one of them jammed the armature. Not a hard fix if you can find them. Or make some. I'll bet that's what is wrong. -
You'd have to put a pattern on each layer prior to stacking. Just make sure you have them all aligned. Or, do the names first and then stack and cut the rest of the pattern. I'm thinking it wouldn't be really tough to do.

How about stack cutting everything but the names and do them individually.

I envy your situation over ours.

We bought ours new 10 years ago and are very happy with everything. But the furnace manufacturer really shorted the filtration on our unit. And there is really no way to add anything better. Ours is also a double wide. 1600 square feet, 3 bdrms 2 bths. The only way we could leave So Cal and then come back. We got lucky and found this park, a mile from the beach and there was the BEST lot in the park sitting vacant. Timing was perfect.

Here's a youtube video that explains some things. It appears that Watco is a bi-product of Rustoleum. I also found out that the VOC count is determined by the size of container more than the product itself. It's a count of the particles of carcinogenic compounds in the mix. They are capped at 380 in gallons.

I have no answer to your question but I will say this. We have all floor vents in our mobile home for both the heat and a/c and the filter in the furnace is severely lacking in filtration so I bought some filter cloth on Amazon and went to each floor outlet and put some of it in the duct so that some degree of filtration is right at the outlet point. It seems to have helped a lot. This is what I bought.
-
That's all well and good to know but without more info, what good is your report? What brand, VOC, etc? I have been using Watco in natural for most everything I've done and then if needed, I spray with Zinnser's spray shellac. I'm definitely not any sort of an expert on finishing so any tidbit of info I can get is greatly appreciated.

You are not alone my Friend. That's why I am engaged in buying and selling scroll saws and anything else that I find a deal on. I have money squirreled away that the boss knows nothing about.

It looks like you are ready for a big weekend. Congrats and I hope it all pays off for you. Have fun! That's the main thing.

Only 36 small monthly pmts on your Visa! Lol.

Ok, thanks. I bought something similar to polish the wheels on our Chrysler 300. Too much work. I never thought about using it on wood. I'd have to buy a new one as mine is full of mag polish.
-
Barb, how about a pic of what you have? I'm trying to envision what you are talking about.
-
Congrats on your new toy. You now have one of the best saws made. Go make something!

Eric your English is fine and we all understood the gist of your question. Glad you asked it. Keep asking questions because many folks are just entering this great hobby and have the same questions as you. Glad you're here. Please post pics of your work as you move along. It's fun for everybody to see your progression. We've all been in your shoes.

I'm not sure exactly of what you ask. But, let me give my best answer. I use nothing but Pegas #5mgt blades. I have no idea of tooth count or width. I use a blade until it either breaks or becomes unwieldy. When I realize that I'm having to push harder or the sound changes or if I can't keep it going in the direction that I want, then it's time to change blades. I have encountered brand nee blades that don't act right so they get tossed. I hope this answers your question.

Yeah, I came to realize that it wasn't the kids I disliked. It was the crappy parents.
