    That is a beautiful piece of work Paul ! I don’t know if I could cut that kind of pattern anymore. Have you tried Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic spray? It dries about as fast as lacquer and considerably less odor.

    WOW! What a great website. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to it, and are willing to share. Thank you, stoney

    I use BB mostly for fretwork projects. I have also used it for strength gussets on other wood working projects.

    Hi Matthew welcome to the village. You don't say how long you have been scrolling but I think it should be against the law to use any blade smaller than a #1. Just kidding! I have been scrolling for a long time and can count on one hand the number of 2/0 blades I have ever used and I have cut plenty of fine detail. Tiny blades heat up faster, break easier, are harder to control, and in my opinion dull faster. My thought has always been to use a blade size that is easiest to use, lasts the longest, and gets the job done. JMHO

    Well the one thing I can tell you from experience is my Hegner multi-max 22v is still going strong. I bought it new in 2008 and it has been a very reliable saw. I can't tell you where you could see one unless you could find someone in your area. I believe Advanced Machinery is the only source in the USA. Hegner makes very good scroll saws but they are very pricey.

    Beautiful trivet Kevin. The finish choice depends on what you want to do with it, display or actually use. I have found that using a trivet for hot pans or dishes it's better to not use any kind of a film finish.

    I will start by saying it depends on several factors. Wood type, length, condition, and how you intend to finish the shapes. Other issues that could be created by ripping into thinner pieces might release internal stresses which can cause warpage or twisting.

    Yea Kevin, I have 2 of them that I made in my workshop, they are space savers for sure. The best part is I have no where near $300. in both of them. lol

    I can attest to Hegner brand. I bought my Multi Max 22v in March 2008 and have not had to replace any parts yet. I don't use mine commercially but I believe you could. Like any good machine if it is treated well will give many trouble free hours of use.

    You bet it is Bruce! I can still remember all the great time I spent with my grandson in the workshop.

    I think you did a great job cutting that pattern. That being said I never understood why Steve Good created that pattern with most letters being backwards on 2 sides. If the ornament is hanging showing one of the back sides it is just...........

    John your projects never cease to amaze me always beautifully well done. Thanks for showing us.

    That is a great pattern and you did a great job! Thank you for showing us.

    Great Idea Kevin. That's putting the ole noodle to work. Thanks for showing us.

    Hi Keith, I have cut quite a bit of Corian. I have made many trivets from it. Your choice of blade it the right one. Two things are critical when cutting plastics, lubrication and saw speed. I always cover the pattern with packing tape and slow down the saw speed. I would probably also use a #3 or #5 polar blade. Try making some cuts in scrap areas until you get the feel for your saw speed and feed rate.

    You knocked it out of the park again John ! The thing is we would expect nothing less from you. Great job thanks for showing us your beautiful work.

    On my second look I see the veining is cut but doesn't show well in your picture. The drilled hole is larger than the veining. I quite often use a spiral blade to enhance the veining and allow it to show up better.
  18. stoney
    I see the plaque on the left does not have all the veining completed. The hybrid looks nice but the way I see it if part of the project is laser cut why not the whole plaque? JMHO

    Hi Charley, I really like that pattern and have made many of them as Christmas ornaments. I turn them into Rudolph's. Just wondering what species of wood you use.

    Nice work Ray. I hope the people that receive them appreciate the amount of work you put into them. Thanks for showing us.

    I see nothing in that pattern that I could not cut efficiently with a #1 or even a #3 blade. I have been scrolling for many years, cut some highly detailed patterns and don't believe I have used a full dozen 2/0 blades. I would suggest your issues would diminish or disappear with a larger blade. JMHO

    Great work on the goblet Paul. Sorry to hear about the health issues of you and your wife. I sure hope there are better days ahead for both of you.

    I used to have a P-20 and really liked it. I bought a Hegner MultiMax and gave to Delta P-20 to one of my grandsons as I didn't have room for both saws. Just curious how much are you trying to sell it for?
  24. stoney
    What I have done from the time I bought my Hegner is to blow the accumulated sawdust off the rollers and ramp regularly. I received a extra set of rollers and clips when I bought my saw in 2008 but haven't had to use them yet.

    Preventative maintenance on any mechanical device always equals dividends. Thanks for the reminder Kevin.
