That looks great Denny!

Great stuff Bobby! I was 16 when we landed on the moon. I watched ever launch from Mercury to Apollo and most of the shuttle launches including the Challenger disaster. Space flight has always been a fascination for me!

Links great Les!

Great project Erv! How did you deal with the curved roof?

Welcome to the village Dave. I think you created a very cool clock! What saw did you get?

It is a very nice sign Todd, but a bit of a warning. BB will not hold up outdoors. Even with three coats of marine varnish. The glue between the layers will degrade and the layers will delaminate. The only way it will withstand outdoor weather is if you painted it with outdoor paint. Then repaint every year.

You clamp the bottom blade clamp exactly like the top blade clamp. I find it easiest if the arms are in the lowest stroke position.

Olson and Flying Dutchman blades are both available from The Wooden Teddy Bear, and yes Denny supplies Pegas blades. The Wooden Teddy Bear bought out Flying Dutchman a few years back. If you order direct from www.mikesworkshop.com, you get free shipping. If you order from TWTB, you pay for shipping.

As a scroll saw instructor, I recommend starting with a skip tooth blade first. A skip tooth is a good general duty blade that clears dust away more efficiently than most others blades. Without reverse teeth you don’t have to worry about The the blade trying to lift the wood off of the table. Flying Dutchman, Pegas and Olson all have a good skip tooth blade. I would get sizes #1, #3 and ##5. Once you master those, then go on to different styles. When I teach a beginners class, I start the students off with Olson #5 skip tooth blades, on 3/4” pine. Personally, I use mostly Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse blades in sizes 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. I also use FD Polar blades which is a skip tooth blade, and I also use Olson reverse tooth blades. I have tried Pegas Modified Geometry blades, and they are good, but not good enough to change over.
