  1. The pattern was a little bit delicate as I didnt want and thing breaking so I used a spiral blade and with a overhead light and magnifying glass I was able to cut detail with precise cuts.This would not be a try for a beginner as spiral blades wonder.Antler bone has a smell of its own nothing like wood.If anybody has a chance to cut some antlers give it a go its a good experience.
  2. Brotherinlaw got a small moose last year and asked me what could be done with the spade. So I came up with a idea to put a moose on each side and give it a board on back to mount.Havent given it to him yet but Im sure he will like what it has become.
  3. Thank you and a Merry Christmas to all fellow scrollers in this village and hopefully a better year in 2021
  4. Been away for awhile back in the scrollsaw seat again.Done here are a couple of Steve Good patterns to give away to family.There were multiples made to 8 or 10 of the xmas scene and 4 of the hockey.I added sparkles to bring out features.Feels good to have a saw blade in my hand again.
  5. Good thing my wife doesnt see all your work or I would be making everything you show.Super job man

  11. Great job people will love them.I made a few crosses a few years back and I will give you a tip try putting a round base for people to set on a shelf on a couple.People like different varieties.Just a idea for ya.
  12. Very good job
  13. Wow once you have a black backround with a nice frame that scene will be tops.
  14. Back in the scrollsaw seat again cutting some dog portraits for a friend.Thanks to Multitom for lending me a hand letting me use his golden retriever pattern.Very well done pattern so all I had to do was make one pattern of the bulldog.Im sure my friend will enjoy the portraits for years to come.

    DeWalt DW788

    I had my first Dewalt scrollsaw for 13 years. Was a very dependable saw cutting every thickness.Then finally the motor went and checked ito fixing it and found out motor is three quarters of the price of new one so decided to buy a new one same as the other dewalt and this one has been good other than replacing the chuck holder for the blades. All in all the saw is great for the price.
  16. Thanks for the replies I thought the same but better to hear it from a fellow scroller who used it.Better in my pocket than theirs at scrollnado
  17. I'll have to correct my reply on the book, there is one review on this product, the editor of the book but that's all. If it was from one in this village commenting I might be more convinced.
  18. I picked up a book called scrollsaw woodworking and crafts to see the scrollnado in the book. The book describes what it might do for dust collection but fails to give any proof or reviews from anybody who have used it.I am no farther ahead right now trying to decide if this product stands up and does the job as 50 plus shipping plus exchange is not a cup of coffee.No money can be placed for losing your lungs but I like a sure thing too. Maybe some of you can agree with me.I was trying to find the company address to email the company to see if even the president of this village could try it free to advertize for this club but no address just amazon to buy. Who would you talk to if pieces were broke. Makes me skeptical. Damian
  19. Thanks Denny Ill find one
  20. What month magazine Denny
  21. What month magazine Denny
  22. I watched a video and am a little concerned at trying to feed a blade through a tube at the bottom all the time, seems like a real inconvenience maybe some have used it and will give their input and your right scrappile shop vacs arent supposed to run at 80-90 percent running time, could be a problem there.
  23. Has anybody bought and used the new dust collection system for the Dewalt 788 scrollsaw called Scrollnado. Seen it used on Steves site at Scrollsaw workshop and wondering if it does the job or is it a waste of 49.99. Thanks Damian
  24. Hi I posted his site a few months ago for all you US people to buy. You save by buying from there as opposed to buying from comanies in the US as your dollar is better than Canada so you save. I have used his blades since I took a intartia class from him about 15 or 20 years ago and these blades are exellent. This comment is not made to make commission on his business. I am commenting to tell you you save here. Your throwing money to the wind buying elseware and you won't be dissapointed.
