    Great use of different processes and techniques.

    UPDATE - Rolf what you are asking about was on the SSWW site. I will message you.
  3. NC Scroller
    Rolf you do remember correctly. In fact, I purchased one from them. If I remember correctly, it was the scroller's son who had the 3D printer. Let me what I can find.

    I have sprayed Danish Oil straight from the can with no issues. Save the mineral spirits to clean the air brush.

    Charley welcome back to the land of sawdust.

    Besides Rolf, you like gadgets.

    I agree Kevin. It works for me. When I spray, and I don't spray everything, I usually wait to have multiple pieces that I want more finish on than just Danish oil. I rarely am in the position where I cut and then ship/deliver within a few days. When I must deliver with a quick TAT, I grab a rattle can of shellac.

    I am also in North Carolina and my shop is surrounded by trees and about 100 feet from a 35-mile-long lake so I understand humidity. This works for me. My process is I first dip or brush on natural color Danish oil. Really like how the Danish oil brings out the grain. I then wait a day to spray with water based poly. Normally 2 or 3 light coats. Water based poly can be resprayed after about 30 minutes. I have had no raised grain issues or not drying due to humidity.

    Have you checked out YouTube? There are a number of videos on the Jet.

    I spray water based poly with this unit from Rockler. Very simple and easy. Simple cleanup. No compressor required. I can also spray lacquer but water based poly is safer. The water based poly I use is made by General finish. Rockler HVLP Finishing Sprayer | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware

    I use plastic trays that Chinese take-out comes in or small disposable aluminum pans I get in at the dollar store. Pour the stain in there, dip, then pour the stain back in the can for the next time.

    Not all painters tape is blue. They make painters tape for delicate surfaces. It is typically a pinkish color.

    That is interesting. Around here the crafts shows that brings out the buyers are the ones in November and December.

    For the detailing lines I would use a 2/0 or smaller blade and a corresponding numbered drill bit per the blade manufacturing company's recommendation.
  16. NC Scroller
    Ray I put a Jacobs 41 BA chuck in my drill press. Got it from eBay. It was under $30. That chuck goes down to zero and does handle all the numbered bits.
  17. NC Scroller
    I do not think there are any industry standards as far as blade sizes and TPI count. A lot depends on the style of blade and brands.
  18. NC Scroller
    The bigger the blade the bigger the teeth and thus the rougher the surface. I have cut 250+ from poplar, cedar, pine, butternut and other woods. My go to blade used to be a #5 polar blade by Flying Dutchman. Now I use the Pegas #3 or #5 skip tooth. They are basically like the Modified Geometry without the reverse teeth at the bottom.

    Not scroll saw related but one of my favorite places to eat is Umberto's in Bare Foot Landing.

    Shame on some of you guys. I ask all who replied to reread your posts. Yes none of us likes someone who asks a question and never responds/follows up but we don't know what is happening in their lives. Maybe their computer crashed or they got sick or had an accident. After some of the comments made, if I was the user, I would never again visit this site. Come on folks. The world is ugly enough without getting ugly to each other on SSV.

    RIP Les.

    Most wood suppliers charge a premium for wood 10+ wide. Why because there is such a demand for lumber that trees are harvested before they get large enough to provide wide boards.

    I am in NC where it also can get very toasty. I cool my 660 sq shop with a window A/C unit. It has an economy setting and a thermostat. It runs 24 x7 during the summer and does not greatly effect my electric. The thermostat is at 78. Remember it takes less energy to maintain a temperature at a fixed level then to try to raise or low the temperature even 5 or 10 degrees. Now my shop is insulated including having an insulated roll up garage door. The other things AC does is to lower humidity which then reduces rust.
