  1. I've had a Cameo Silhouette for a few years and it works great. Pretty much only use it to cut vinyl for sandblasting glass. I've used the software for scroll saw patterns often.
  2. As for me I use a lot of ML Campbell's precatalyzed Magnamax Lacquer. I also use a lot of their woodsong stain. It's acetone based and can be sprayed with Lacquer after just 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. A mix similar to Danish oil would be equal parts of BLO,mineral spirits,and an oil based vanish. I say equal parts but it can be modified to personal likes,and some people us Naptha or Turpentine as the thinner but I always just used Mineral spirits. You can also just thin down a varnish for a wipe on finish.
  4. I use a laser printer,I make my patterns in grey and it prints them in grey. If I use a pattern made by some one else that's black I change it from black to grey in a photo program.
  5. A lot of it sold is B/BB or BB/BB B is the good side,no plugs,limited pin knots. BB has more knots and a limited number of plugs I get 1/8" stuff from Wurth wood group, B/BB for about $17.50 A 5'X5' sheet. They're over 100 miles away but they deliver in my area twice a week. There's one in Atlanta.
  6. With nicks all three blades will have the same nick in line. I had a Dewalt planer years ago and can't remember if you can shift the blades a little but if you can so the nicks don't line up it will help. If not maybe flip one back around to the other side so it mismatches. I actually have a tool grinder/sharpener and do all my sharpening in house but I don't mess with those disposable blades,I just replace them.
  7. I think this video addresses that
  8. My guess is it's an Oliver 36"scroll saw A guy on a site I visit got an old Beach no.1 ceiling mount scroll saw running. http://www.contractortalk.com/f40/beach-no-1-ceiling-mounted-scroll-saw-142822/
  9. I also have my saw set up next to the woodstove in the shop, got the tv working out there today,hasn't worked in ages.
  10. There's different ways to do it but I use my wet saw that's used for cutting tiles.
  11. Man,I kept looking for a face under the hat, Thought they were wearing goggles or something ,LOL.
  12. I haven't got a clue, no doubt I've messed this up but it was fun practice for photoshop.
  13. Plus I just got 2 gross of the #2pikes in the mail that you recommended .
