Welcome to the village Brandon, come on in and join the fun!

Not for me. I like to split the line. As long as I stay in the middle of the line, everything is good!

Hey Ray, I'm two counties north of you. Moorpark, Ventura Co. I'm the Scroll saw instructor at the Woodcraft store in Ventura.

If he is not selling the item or selling or sharing the pattern, there is no problem.

Very nice cutting and a great sign! I agree, very little sanding needed!
-
I prefer a solid black or red line with no fill color. If a fill is necessary, gray is best.
-
Nice work Richard! Looks like it was a lot of work but well worth it!
-
Very nicely done Jim. You should be proud!

Nice cutting dick! Is it your pattern? -
Great cutting of a great pattern!

Excellent work Larry! Did you make the pattern?

Or, even four! I have seen that pattern before and you have done an excellent job on it! Congratulations!

Hey Larry, the air line on the DeWalt and many other saws is made by Loc-line. It is a very efficient system for delivering air and liquids to various machines in industries and hobby. The advantage of this system is it needs only one mounting point and can be adjusted to any position, unlike a plastic tube or hose that needs to be mounted to a hold down foot or column as on some saws. The loc-line is very strong and durable, but can be a little brittle if abused. By using the proper technique it is easly repaired.

I never cut anything thinner than 1/4". So, If I need an 1/8" piece, I will stack another layer of 1/8" material. Trying to cut thinner material is difficult as you don't have proper control of the piece and tear out can occur. Because I do two to four craft shows a year I always stack four layers of 1/8" BB plywood. I use a no. 1FD UR or a no. 3 FD UR blade with minimal tear out on the back which is easily sanded off. Before you start, sand your blanks to Finish grit, usually 220 grit. Then make your stack and cut. Then use some 220 grit sandpaper to lightly sand off the fuzzies.

Can you explain what's wrong with it? It looks fine from here!

Welcome to the Village. Come on in and join the fun!

That sounds good.

clockwise, counter clockwise, I cut in both directions when needed. But I usually cut with the waste on the right. I purposely teach this to my students. By picking a dedicated direction, its easier to teach the little tricks on cutting tight inside and outside cuts.

Wenge is a very dense wood. it is hard to cut but finishes to a beautiful dark brown to almost black color. as mentioned it is very brittle and splintery. use a reveres tooth blade or a Flying Dutchman Ultra reverse blade. this will help with splintering on the back side. Sand a round over on the top edge to prevent splinters. you will be pleased with the color when finished!

Nice work Dan!

Good luck on your new saw! Who did you order from?

Welcome to the Village Tom. I'm sure you'll fit right in. Come on in and join the fun!

Beautiful work Edward!

Wow Larry, that was great directions! I don't have that problem but I'm sure this will help others!
