I  used mineral oil when I first started scrolling because it brings out the grain of the wood, but does it 

ever dry completely? Even after months it keeps bleeding through, leaving a stain.

Really like the unique patterns you cut so nicely.  Do you make your own?

No, I purchase patterns from Sue Mey.

Nice job. What type of finish do you use?

I use a clear coat finish on base.

Great Job, Rick!

Taking a break from puzzles.

No, I have three shops online.. Last four months of the year are very busy.

Individually Hand Cut By Me On Scroll Saw. From start to finish it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to finish a puzzle. I sand all edges and eliminate sharp corners.
If they are any detail lines, I will take a tooth brush and remove the saw dust.
Mostly adults buy my puzzles as collector items but I still try to make each puzzle as child safe as possible.

Here they are... 700 puzzles ready to load up in a couple of days for the big weekend event... I don't know whether to expect to sell 250 or just 50... But it'll be a wild one.  And I'll get to meet Orangeman.

 

Good luck Scott!

Takes at least an hour to cut then 30 minutes to finish. I round over all the puzzles to make the edges smooth. If I color the piece (my least favorite part) another 15 minutes. I don't like 
coloring wood because it takes away the look of the grain but with a base a little color makes the puzzle stand out. 

Super job Kevin.

Sounds like it might be the bearings.

How much would it cost to replace bearings in my delta 40-694?

I sell on Etsy and Zibbet right now.. I have a web site through indiemade.. but it's offline right now as I need to do a lot of work on it that I won't have the time for until the kids get back in school.. So the links in my signature goes to Etsy or Zibbets site.. Zibbet is a handmade market place that also included in the price gives you a personal web site as well.. but.. what you can do with it is limited.. probably great deal for many that don't have much time for a REAL stand alone site.. 

Doing a search for these type topics might get you some good reading.. Here is a topic that is just a few weeks old.. Lots of good info here.. Also note the link to the original topic at the top of the page..
