What would you charge to make one for sale? Then use that for the value.

It looks a little like Lord Baden Powell the founder of scouting. Very sorry to hear of your uncles story. Very thankful we had a generation that came before us who fought for our freedom ante freedom of others, Rest in Peace soldier. Fred Kahle (fredfret) USN Ret

Pinterest has a lot of copyrighted material on it much for "other countries" with patterns readly available . I know that scroller has agreements ( talked with a couple a long time ago. JZ and MW) with many of the designers and have/had some on staff. I take these accusations with a grain of salt as most of the patterns are attributed to the designer and if you ask who designed the pattern they will tell you. I don't work for or know anyone that does so I can't really validate but my gut feeling is they are as up front as they can be. Fredfret

Looks Good! I see you are cutting plexiglass and did a very good job on a somewhat tough material to not mess up. Your choice of wood the sign teaches a good lesson on grain and detail. Course grain and fine detail may not be the best combo but the cutting looks real good. Trust me I have had more than my share of designer firewood some after many hours of cutting. Keep at it.

Canned air usually found in the electronics section of the store. I use it for small areas indoors and the compressor for the large areas that I do outdoors. I have also used unwaxed dental floss to clear dust from cuttings. Fredfret

A walnut hollow woodburner is about 20 bucks at Michaels. I use a colwood detailer to sign things for my family.

I cut them off with a pair of wire cutters and use the metal lid inside. I keep the lid when I run out and use it with the replacement can.

No Koda chrome didn't happen. Fred fret

Barb, If you use a regular puzzle pattern just turn it 45 degrees make sure it covers the complete picture then trim the pattern to size. Fredfret

I think the black gets cut out. The center of the a,o,r, and scissors could be cut then glued to the backer by saving the rest of the letter or scissors for locators. Letters are hard. Fredfret

Ray, I've tried them and they are good blades very sharp and do last a long time. They are also quite agressive. I don't do production cutting or try to make large numbers of any thing in a short period. I like a less agressive blade for thick stock 1.5 inch they would be great. Most of my stuff is in 3/4 or thinner stock. By all means try a dz of each size you may love them. Blades are like trucks some like ford some gmc some ram. Fred fret

I have a Colwood detailer basic kit I think I paid 150 for it in a plastic carrying box. Most wood carving companies carry colwood or razortip both very good tools. Fredfret

I have and use 1/32 and 3/64 for small fretwork holes if the area is large enough 1/16 or even 1/8 / I buy them from Mikes or Grainger. Fredfret

Good idea!! I use the saw to make a teardrop shape to blend the hole into the line. Fredfret

Mineral oil is nontoxic but never completely dries. Any finish sold in the us is supposed to be nontoxic when completely cured. Fredfret

Possible copyright issue. If you draw your own using the basic premise that would be ok. Otherwise you need to ask the designer . Fredfret

Scrappile I agree about the size with the Pegas MG blades I go down one size from the FD blades with no loss of control or capability. As a top feeder blade flexability is not very important as I don't really bend the blade to install it. But I have noticed they do seem more flexable. Fredfret
-
I like the Modified Geometry blades a lot they are reverse only on the bottom but I think they perform well. They are a little more aggressive than the FDUR Try a dozen then decide. Fredfret Wichita, Ks

Aint Never Scrolled With a Chain Saw Before

Try using the 0.100 in heavy duty blade from Olson. I used it for some 2" stock prep, cutting to length and width. Cut fine but no way could it cut anything that had curves. Fredfret -
