    Yesterday Montserrat asked about protecting your fingers while sanding Intatsia pieces. A few years back I did a JGR piece that contained many individually cut grapes. After trying to shape one or two grapes on a pneumatic sanding drum, I realized I needed to come up with a better way. I remembered seeing a tip in an old Wood Magazine that would solve my problem. The second picture shows the hardware I used. I don't remember the exact size fitting but it looks like a 1/4" x 1/8" brass coupling found in the plumbing dept. and a # 4 x 1/2" screw. The next picture shows the screw installed and a handle I turned, then the hardware installed into the handle. The next picture shows a grape piece screwed into the jig. Next I show it in use on a 1" belt sander, although I would of used the pneumatic drum mounted in my mini lathe. The rest of the grape shaping and sanding went easy! You could also use a wooden dowel and a longer screw. Cut the head off of the screw, drill a hole in the end of the dowel and epoxy the screw into the drilled hole.

    They are called finger cots. They are available at office supply stores.

    Roly, I think the OP was asking how to change a two speed scroll saw to a variable speed saw.

    I do not want to make toys because I don't want to compete with the toy makers I know, but this one I would make an exception! You did a marvelous job Dan. You have every right to be proud!

    I agree with Scott above. Cutting puzzles freehand is easier, and uses less waste and time. My icon is a picture of my first ever jigsaw puzzle. I started with a piece of waste 1/4" Baltic birch plywood. I practiced cutting puzzle pieces, and after about ten or twelve pieces, I felt I was ready to cut my puzzle.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Village Marty.

    Hey Steve, welcome to the village! I was born and raised in Riverside, now living in Moorpark in Ventura County. A good used DeWalt 788 should go for around $250 and a good used EX 21 should go for around $500. You need to haggle the price. Scrolling is a great hobby to get into. Everyone here will tell you it's relaxing and addictive! So come on in and join the fun!

    Thanks Gordie, I didn't know if it was derogatory or not.
