Thanks for the lesson. I have several Christmas projects that I was thinking about doing some painting on......art
-
I don't think it really matters how many folks posts, what matters is how many are actually benefiting from the info that others post. There will probably come a time when they will post and share :-)

Thanks Travis, I will try that. I will upload pics when my projects are complete. Art

I never thought of drilling smaller inline holes. I will kheck out Mikes. Thanks guys

Hello again, I have a question regarding the drill hole for kerf cuts. The clock patterns that I am cutting have many cuts that are kerf only cuts. When the cut is complete I am left with the small round hole at the beginning of the cut. Is there a way to eliminate this? I didn't really notice the drill holes untill I was done cutting the 4th pattern, I guess this 57 yr old was too busy admiring his work to see it. Thanks art

Thanks guys, I have since started on new projects using different wood types. I went from the fryng pan into the fire so to speak, so I decided to make clocks for Christmas. I said to myself, this looks easy enough, boy was I wrong. I am now on the 4th one and it is getting easier (still difficult). Once I finish cutting them I will do the final finish on them and post them, until then, C-Ya..art

Thanks Terry, I find that I have more control while stack cutting especially with a new blade. I guess I will learn as I go along. Thanks all for the input...art

Thanks Mike, interesting thread. I will check out the video......

I purchased my 788 SS, 12 1/2" Dewalt planer, craftsman 12" bandsaw and craftsman 6 1/4" jointer on craigslist for a wopping $565 and they work and look like new.

Thanks Travis, I think that over correction is an issue. I will try that exercise too. I also found that this problem is not as noticable when stack cutting, I think that it has to do with resistance (thick vs thin) but I could be wrong. Thanks again. Art

Actually it was a #3 blade, sorry. I will try a smaller blade and slow feed and speed. BB is baltic birch, I didn't know if the type of wood made a difference or if I should stack cut. Thanks for the reply. Art

Nice job...

Hi All, I am new to scrolling and not sure if I am doing this wrong or what. The problem that I am having is controlling the cut. I am finding that when I am cutting a single piece of 1/4" BB it is difficult to control small kerf cuts, I tried to slow the cutting speed on my dewalt but still same problem. I am using Fd sr5 blade and cutting a clock pattern from Scroller LTD (if that helps). Is it just me?

Not my GF. ????

Oops, I noticed that Reby was talking about lemon oil furniture polish. Will the polish affect the adhesiveness of the polyurathane, varnish and lacquers?
-
Thanks for the tips guy's. I was just looking for some info on finishing tips on wiki but nothing there. Where do you get lemon oil and what is the difference between that and the other oils. Thanks Art

How funny is that, I did the very same pattern for my first. Very nice..
-
Very nice piece .

I would probably cut out all of the pieces needed to build a wooden scroll saw ;-)

Fdur-Flying Dutchman, duh? Now I really feel dumb

Thanks Jim

Thanks for the feedback and yes I am able to elevate the back if needed. It is currently at a 5-7° tilt. Thanks again. Art

Nice DW

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that....

Thanks Steve Good and Kenneth Van Winkle for the plans. I have to say that this stand works great. I added a live outlet and a switched outlet. The saw is connected to the switch and the light is on the live outhet. I made a 10' cord for power so the saw can go anywhere. For the top, instead of carpet I cut a piece of horse stall rubber mat and used that, the saw is just about vibration free. Thanks for looking Art
