    Nice cutting Dick! I think the frame is ok, but I don't like the red glittery eyes.

    Hey Jerry, while blade and table squareness is important for compound cutting, accuracy of the cut is just as important. For the most part, it looks like you did not align you lines while cutting, causing the misalignment.

    Yes it's true, prices will vary, that's capitalism. I am all for buying local if it's feasible, but not at double or triple the cost.I teach my students to start with Olson's because they are available locally at Woodcraft, but I also tell them about buying online at a substantial savings.

    Aside from what has been discussed, here's how I teach my begginer students. I call the first one In & Out. Cut all the way to the corner, then back out the blade. Turn the work 180°, with the teeth cutting into the waste side. Now, back the blade back into the corner. From there you can easily line up the blade to the line, then off you go. This works for very sharp corners. The second one I call a Parallel Park. This one was mentioned above. Cut to the corner. Back the blade out about 1/2" or so, then widen the kerf about the width of the blade. This gives you enough room to turn the blade into the the next line. With these two techniques you should be able to cut perfectly sharp inside cuts. For sharp outside cuts, I call it a U Turn. Very simply, cut past the corner into the waste. Turn the work making a u turn then line up the next line, and off you go again.

    mI have to agree with you Jerry!

    You need to dress the ends of your thumb screws. The blade is slipping in the blade clamps when tightening. Also you need to remove the oil that is on the ends of the blade. This oil will cause the blade to slip also. Look under works in progress and tutorials for " A simple jig" to help you dress the thumb screws.

    Most unusual for sure Larry!

    They are about 3/4". I teach scroll saw and do a lot of demos, so, I had to do it nice!

    Hey Les, I store my blades in tubes. The tubes fit in a holder that I made from 2x mahogany. I get the tubes from sloanswoodshop.com.
