    Any chance the blade is slipping in the blade clamps after tensioning? Looking at the circle you cut, it looks like there is not enough tension on the blade to stay on the line with the thickness of wood you are cutting. Try this….tension the blade, cut a circle, then release the tension. Push down on the top arm. If there is a large bow in the blade, it means the blade slipped in the blade clamps. If not, I don’t know what the problem is.

    Most folks use plain end blades for two reasons. When cutting inside cuts, you have to drill a larger hole to accommodate the pins. It’s virtually impossible to do fine fret work with small cutouts. The second reason is without pins, you can get much smaller blades, in more styles. As you progress, you will want to use smaller, finer blades.

    One thing to consider is the wait time between ordering and receiving your saw. When I ordered my 21” Pegas, it took about three or for months before it shipped.

    I made two for my wife this year. The first is a Steve Good pattern. Done in 1/2” Cherry. The backer and base is Sapele. The beard is 1/8” Aspen. The nose is 1/4” Ceader. The second is from the Spring issue of ScrollSaw Woodworking and Crafts. The girl is 3/4” Poplar, the base is 1//2” Cherry. The birds are Purpleheart, Cherry, Redheart, Mahogany and Wenge. Every wood was from the scrap bin. Everything cut with FD Ultra Reverse #1 and #3.

    If the tear out is on the top, could it be you have the blade installed down side up?

    Most folks remove the hold down because it gets in the way while feeding the board into the blade. If you are comfortable using it, then by all means use it. Eventually, you will remove it.

    Most pictures of Steves projects, including the one you show are simulations, the colors are computer generated. You have to find and pick your owns colors. For me, I always use hard woods. For that backer, I would use Mahogany or Sapele. This piece is Maple for the overlay and Sapele for the backer board.

    I have done it several times. The shorter length is not a problem.

    Our very own Barb J. Enders’ Sunflower puzzle was featured in the letters to the editor of the spring issue of ScrollSaw Woodworking and Crafts magazine! Nice work Barb!

    Mt thought exactly! Plus, you have to buy a battery and charger if you don’t already have them.
