    At times, I will apply stain then place stained pieces on table, surround them with thicker wood, lay strips across the thicker wood and cover that with brown paper or such to protect the stained pieces from dust falling on top. Do not cover the sides so tight that air cannot circulate over the stained pieces. This will protect from falling dust fairly well. Larry

    Yes, you can print your pattern on contact paper. Laser printer is best as the ink jet tends to smudge easily. I have done this some but cutting the paper down to size takes time. You can also see the grain of the wood through the clear paper and it helps to line pattern with wood grain. Larry

    Nor draw a deep breath in a turn.

    I just used a #3 metric Allen wrench on mine a few minutes ago. Larry

    None needed here either. Nothing wrong with a good friendly discussion now and then. It is difficult to know someone's intent over forum comments. But, for someone to see my expression, I have to wipe the scroll dust off my face. And to all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may it be filled with lots of scrolling. Larry

    Some of us know how to use both spiral and flat blades. Maybe not multi-taskers but multi-cutters. Wide cuts - only the width of the proper blade for the work being done. Some cuts with flat blade require 2 passes to get the width of one pass with a spiral. Lots of fuzzys - not if you use a backer board when cutting. Detail work - Scrappile already said it. Offended - Life is too good to be offended. truth hurts.... Not really unless you are in the wrong. As I stated earlier, both have their place and both take getting used to using them. When the spirals got tough on me I did not give up just became more determined to out smart them and had fun doing just that. Larry

    Larry, If my memory is correct, and some times it is, the pattern you see is because of the way the ply is made. They "shave" this strips from the log as the log turns. each repeat of the train is the next layer as the piece is shaved from the rotating log. In your mind, roll the strips into a roll and the pattern will line up as the roll gets thicker. The thinner the log gets the close the grain pattern repeats itself. They say a picture is worth a thousand words – if you understand the words. This video makes a good picture of my explanation. Larry

    Yes to both parts of your question. Good for speed butchery (yes) or handy tools after a lot of practice (yes). The do take a good deal of practice and as in flat blades the more you use them the better they get if you get a good quality of blades. They are not good for all work and if I want to leave a good crisp edge I stay with the flats. I use Flying Dutchman New Spiral. Guess I would say you have to aquire a taste for them.

    Josh, What type wood are you looking for? Larry

    Welcome back Carl. Perhaps we could say that having all this hit at once would be better than having one after the other spaced out over a long period of time. (Sometimes my humor does not come across as I intend it to). Heal up quickly and get back in the grove here. Larry

    Several years ago on another forum there was a critique topic area. It did not work well. When the MSN groups closed the forum went to new site and the critique topic area was not opened. What they did was to ask for volunteers that would critique/mentor work of others. The member wanting constructive criticism would PM one or more of the volunteers. This would keep it out of the "public" view yet still provide assistance to those that requested it. Do not know how this worked as I was did not participate on either side of the aisle. Larry

    Neat idea. "May not have another idea until next year" - Hey, next year is not that far away.

    Welcome Jeff. I was a newbie from Texas at one time here, also. This is a good place to learn. Larry

    Very good work, Kevin. Just a thought on getting some relief on shaking the rattle cans - if you have an extra scroll saw, set it up un-blanced so it will vibrate real bad and duck tape your paint cans to the table and let the cans shake while you scroll. Larry

    Chris, I am not offended. However, I do have a question? Has this happened on SSV with one of your patterns? Have you noticed this on SSV with other's patterns? If yes, suggest you send PM to Travis so he can "nip it in the bud". Larry

    On my Delta I tightened the arm pivot bolt about 1/4 turn and arm stays up without any assistance. Been doing this for over 3 yrs now. I release tension, loosen blade clamp and raise arm in one motion all with the right arm. Then slilght pressure to bring arm into place to tighten blade. Larry

    Welcome Tim. What part of Texas are you at? I am in Clyde, near Abilene. Larry

    No apology needed Jerry. This discussion started when the Delta 40-690 was made. The 690 is the clone of the 788. Just paint it "yeller" and it will be the same. The 40-694 had a few items added. If one looks up the parts list for the 690 they will find that the part numbers on the 690 and the 788 are the same - at least they were the last time I looked. All probably now build over there. I got the 690 over the 788 because of the sale they had on the last models remaining as the 694 was being brought out. Does not matter what the brand is, the color is, or anything else if one is satisfied with the one they have. Which is better Ford or Chevy - answer is the one that I am driving same with the saws. Now back to making scroll dust. Larry

    If you run it through a planner you can find hidden nails, pebbles and other not blade friendly items in the wood. Larry

    I get my # sized bits from Mike's, also. Also use Dremel with plunge router. Used to break fairly often until I slowed down on the push and let the bit do the cutting. Mike's are the only bits I have used in this size for 10 years now. If you can get a good price on the bits and get good service from them then it is a sweat deal. If you get a good price and the bits don't hold up, not so good of a deal. I'm satisfied. I also got one of those fold up Sears bit sets once. Larry
