As a scroll saw instructor, I teach my students to anticipate this. As was mentioned above, most blades have a bur on the right side of the blade. This bur causes the blade to cut to the right. You have to adjust the angle of the work piece to cut straight. Each blade will have a different degree of drift so you have to adjust for each blade. Draw some straight lines on a scrap board and practice cutting straight. A very wise man ( Mike The Flying Dutchman) once said: "Cutting a straight line on a scroll saw is like driving down a straight road. You have to move the wheel left and right to keep it straight". Practice, practice, practice and it will come to you naturally.

Hey Danny, all I can say is once you go to top feeding, you can never go back!!! The Delta, DeWalt and EX's are all top feeders. Try it, you might like it!!

I think he applied a finish before was to keep the pen ink from running into the Baltic birch plywood.

I think you stole it!! It's probably worth about $250.

Hi Mary. There is an old saying in woodworking: "I cut it three times, and it's still to short". Meaning once you have cut it to small, you can't fix it. A spiral blade leaves too wide of a kurf. For any puzzle, weather it's a zig saw puzzle or a stand up puzzle, you must use a flat blade. It makes a much thinner kurf. For jigsaw puzzles, you want to use a 2/0 or smaller blade. Flying Dutchman sells a puzzle blade that is a 3/0 skip tooth blade. My advice is to recut the puzzle with a more appropriate blade.

Epoxy is a good solution, but I use a product called E6000. It is a little easier to use as you don't have to mix it. It comes in a tube, and will adhere just about anything to anything. It can be found at any craft or hobby store and most hardware stores.

Welcome to the Village Theresa! With intarsia, cutting is the easy part. It's the sanding and shaping that takes all the time and effort. You do have an excellent mentor in your Dad. So, come on in and join the fun!
