    No. See the thread that Meflick posted above.

    There is was a detailed threaded on Unicorn Spit on the other forum last year. Gloves are a must.

    Sorry to say this but I am not sure where you saw the reviews but the newer De Walts are notorious for failures. Once upon a time they were very good but no longer. My advise is try to get your money back.

    Len Alex Fox makes multiple layers patterns. What is pictured is just one layer of his deer pattern. Here is the pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/719110605/c71-deer-scroll-saw-pattern-pdf-dxf-svg?ref=shop_home_active_28&crt=1

    I found Lowes is the cheapest in my area and it costs me just under $10 per can. 2 for under $10 is a GREAT deal.

    Bob I agree with Kevin on the size of the spirals. 2//0 or #1. You will also help yourself a lot by reducing your flat blade size. #7 is way to big for cutting Baltic Birch. For a single piece use a #2/0 or #1 flat blade. Even if I stacked 5 or 6 I would not use a blade bigger then #5. I can relate some to my belly getting in the way with larger pieces. To minimize the stand up time work from the middle of the project out. I do not understand the issue with heavier paper and adhesion. I use copier paper for all my projects and I use 3M 77 spray to hold it down. Can you explain what you are doing so we can try to help?

    Cutting a single piece of 1/8" to 1/4" stock especially plywood the biggest blade I would use is a #1. More then likely a would use a 2/0.

    Least we not forget that Copyright and Trademark are two very different things and the laws that apply are different. The HD logo as well as sports teams are Trademarks. Patterns by say Sue Mey, Judy Gale Roberts, etc are copyrighted. https://www.diffen.com/difference/Copyright_vs_Trademark

    Here is a case in point. I cut this Sue Mey design. She has a number of overlays (love, joy, peace, faith, hope, Jesus, etc). Since I was doing 24 crosses in total and I was using 3/4" stock for the backer stack cutting was out of the questions. So I put the pattern one time on a piece of 1/8" hardboard, cut it out and used it to trace out all my crosses. The 1/8" template is hanging on my shop wall with other similar templates for future use.

    I have painted both poplar and pine puzzles with acrylic craft paint and not had an issue with the wood swelling to the point the pieces no longer fit. Yes you will get minimal swelling especially when it is still wet but not enough to ruin the puzzle. Just make sure you apply thin coat(s) of paint. I have even thinned the paint with water at times to make it more of a stain than paint.

    While I have no facts, remember everything you read on the internet is not true. Yes I know that is a shock.

    I currently have and use a couple templates. They can be handy if you are making multiples of the same thing and they can't be stack cut. By multiple I am not talking 1 or 2.

    Stay safe.

    Puzzle do you get up to Buffalo much? Searching the web I see several lumber suppliers who would likely have it. Mosher and Advantage. My supplier is 2 hours away. I combine me trip there with other errands in that direction and I usually pick up 5 or 6 sheets. Enough to last me a year or more. BTW my wife went to SUNY Fredonia so I have been there. Nice area except for during the winter.

    Check with your local lumber yards. Not Lowe's or Home Depot. Also look for any local kitchen remodeling contractors. They may not be a source but they might know where to get it locally. Also look at lumber in Buffalo.

    I agree with Fred. If the saw and blade are square (90 degrees) then you are pushing vs straight feeding more then you think.

    OM try experimenting with your blades. I cut wood art out of 3/4" red oak all the time without any troubles. I use mostly Pegas Modified Geometry in either #5 or #7. I find ash harder to cut then same thickness red oak. Maple cuts great.

    I also use a Mac Mop from Klingspor but I have mine mounted in a old mini lathe using a drill chuck. I have a piece of hardware cloth (screening 1/4" mesh) across the front of the dust collector port. I use 180 grit.

    Actually it is almost 4 years since Mike passed. https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2016/05/rest-in-peace-mike-moorlach.html

    GREAT responses by many. One thing to add. Whenever I do a project like that one I route the edges before I scroll the text or whatever. Sure you have to be a little careful but that way if you really mess it up on the router you have not lost all your work.

    Judy Gale Roberts has a studio in Tennessee and she offers multi day hands on classes. Not cheap but really worth it She also sells what she calls Classroom in a tube. They have very detailed pictures and instructions. https://intarsia.com/collections/classroom-in-a-tube

    Kevin it was Wooden Teddy Bear that Mike sold out to before passing.

    Jes per your bio you are in Florida. Cypress is another local wood you should consider. While not a true hardwood it has become even grain so it is easy to cut.

    I agree with JT. I used to work in manufacturing and pallet are used to carry everything. Remember Mr Murphy. If it could happen it will. For my money poplar is the right wood for puzzles and toys. Poplar is also very available in the US and Canada a a reasonable cost.

    Check out the Shelia Landry site: http://www.sheilalandrydesigns.com/search?searchwords=leash&searchsmall_625599620=Search You can put any dog shape on it. Lots of free clip art silhouettes to choose from. The pattern is also in the August 2007 issue of Creative Woodworking and Craft magazine.
