I have always been a magazine reader. In a former life, I was a bass player in rock bands for over twenty years. I lived for Guitar Player Magazine. I read it from cover to cover. But what I really looked forward to was the adds. What new gizmos the pros were using, a new Guitar available or the biggest and loudest amp. After that life, there was woodworking. I subscribed to every general woodworking magazine available including: Wood, Popular Woodworking, American Woodworker, Fine Woodworking, and I think there were others that might be escaping me. Then there was Creatative Woodworking and Crafts and Scrollsaw Workshop, now Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts. In all those magazines I read the articles that interested me, but always checked out the adds to see what was new and available. I have reached a point that I only buy mags that might have something that I like or think I will do. I did buy the last Scrollsaw Wooworking and Crafts, but did not buy the one before that. I haven't seen the current issue, but will check it out the next time I'm in Lowes. The point I'm making is for me, if I like it, I'll buy it. If there is nothing that interests me, I won't buy it. Certainly not bashing or complaining, just the way it is to me. Oh, I forgot to mention, I used to subscribe to every magazine I have mentioned, bot no longer subscribe to any.

Cool work John! I'll be doing a few of those too.

No worries Brian, it's a family of Giraffes, all seperate. However, I have several of the Peterson's book and hav seen patterns in the books that have been featured in the mag.

Very nice work Dave! I do service work and quite often am asked to take my boots off. Because I end up going back and forth to my truck, it's impossible to keep taking off and putting them back on again so I keep disposable booties in my tool tote. Saves a lot of work and time!

Hey Del, that wood looks pretty crummy. Send it to me and I'll get rid of it for you

Yeah, it's a tight fit and those adapter are a pain in the butt. A little patience and a lot of practice are required. You mite even have to remove the lower shrouds to gain better access to the lower blade holder. hang in there and let us know how it's going.

Hey Johnny, welcome to the Village! Never to old to start scrolling! I started on a Dremel saw and learn a lot on it. So, come on in and join the fun!

Looks good Marg!

Well Dick, welcome back and welcome home! Are you going to change your screen name?

Congratulations John! Some well deserved awards!

Well Don, I'm sorry you didn't get the responses you were looking for. Maybe you should of asked more specific questions! several folks took time to reply, myself included. Up to the time you made this reply you hadn't responded or even offered any likes to the responses.

Beautiful work Jay!

Well, congratulations Richard! Let us know how it works out for you.

That looks nice Edward!

Nice work Mimi!

Fantastic cut!

Defiantly use 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood. Don't know why you would need a backer board. If you don't have any puzzle blades, use 2/0 skip tooth blades. Flying Dutchman puzzle blades are 3/0 skip tooth. You want to use as thin a blade as possible for a tight fit. I have never used a pattern for Jigsaw puzzles. I took a scrap piece of 1/4" BB and just started cutting till I got the hang of cutting the puzzle pieces. My avatar is my first puzzle!

Nice idea and great cutting. All around a great project!

Nice job Del!

Cool work Todd!

Beautiful work Marg!

Well Ray, if you are concerned about your tension, then it is definitely not tight enough. I always tighten my tension as high as I can get it no matter what blade or thickness of wood.

Cool Beans Dan!

Nice looking plaque John!

All nice work Todd!
