The small ones are $3 or two for $5 and the larger ones a$6 or two for $10. I have them displayed on small artificial Chritmas trees. I really don't make much on them, but they attract the customer to see the rest of my goodies.

I stack cut three at a time. I finish them like I do every scroll saw project. Soak in a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. I shake them off the wipe off the excess oil with clean shop paper towels. In the weather we have had here, the are dry in 24 hours. I then topcoat with Deft semigloss spray lacquer. I then buff them with a sheet of brown paper grocery bag.

Well here's what I have been working on the past couple of weekends. About 100 ornaments. Maple, Walnut and cherry, all 3/16" hardwoods ready for my first show of the season in two weeks.

Just as already mentioned, it's to give you adjustability, but if it wasn't there you would wear out your blade clamp sooner as it is made from soft aluminum. -
I said I'd be working on ornaments and I did. I didn't say they would be done! I'll be working on them for a couple more weekends.

That's what these forums are all about Jim! My biggest issue is I am on the west coast and by the time I get on, most questions have been answered. So I feel there is no need to answer a question that has already been answered correctly. But if I feel I can add to the info already given, I will.

I have a branding iron that says "Handcrafted by Dan Gallo". This works for items that are big enough to sign. For smaller items like ornaments and such, I don't sign. As far as if the item should be signed on the face of your project, if you designed the pattern, it deserves to be signed. If you did not design the pattern, you can sign it on the back or bottom of the project. JMO

I'm working on Christmas ornaments. I have a show coming up in Oct. and a two day show in Nov. I only have the weekends to work in the shop, so I'm busy stocking up.

Cool work Todd!

Beautiful piece Denny! I'm looking forward to cutting it myself. One thing I will do is mount it to a base so it doesn't get knocked over.

Welcome to the Village Kathy! Nice looking bike. You might have better luck posting your request in the pattern request section as some of the pattern makers may not come here to the Introduction page.

Welcome to the Village Eric! If your saw accepts plain end blades, they will fit. But, they are not the best blades. The most popular blades used by scrollers are Flying Dutchman, Olson and Pegas, not in any particular order. They are all available online, but you may be able to find Olson and Pegas blades at Woodworking stores if there is one near you.

I used to be a member of a large general woodworking club in Thousand Oaks, Ca. They used to have special interest groups (SIGS) including A scroll saw SiG. The SIGS kinda dissolved due to lack of interest. I haven't been active in the club for a couple of years due to lack of interest.

Beautiful piece Rolf! Question, how did you get rid of your duplicate posts?

Great looking boxes and great jig! I have cut a lot of box miter sides on a table saw but have never thought to chamfer with a router bit. I will have to give it a try.
