    ... I got the pattern. I had some poplar in the raw for compound cutting. Used the bandsaw to cut it into pieces the right size for birdhouses. But no matter what I tried, I could not get the pattern to adhere to the wood. I ended up double-wrapping with packing tape, but it would always slightly slide when cutting the second side. Either way. Here are the first six - freshly oiled. Bought the eye-hooks already. They are so much fun. Also, Denny, how do you get the birds onto the perch? I ended up drilling them in the bottom to fit the perch.

    I always use a dust mask, when I developed bronchitis I couldn't shake after my first two weekends of cutting. Now I am religious about it. When sanding, I also use goggles, because my eyes react badly to that dust.

    That is interesting! Upon reflection I realized that I did not have the problem when using Olson Mach blades, but it started, when I switched to Pegas Modified Geometry. Maybe the ends are treated differently the different manufacturers.

    Did you know the little men are from Pedestrian Traffic Lights in East Germany? People just love them (me included).

    Great idea, Kevin! I will take it under advisement.

    Bought a piece of purple heart at the hardwood store. 2 feet by 1 foot. Now I am loath to cut into it. It needs to be something spectacular. Any ideas? Suggestions? Maybe a big bowl? Gimme ideas and keep'em coming. Please!

    After hubby adjusted the Ex 21 according to all y'all's great advice, cutting was easier today.

    Maybe some of you can tell me what to check? As of recently, the blade in my excalibur does not hold the tension. I.e. I tighten it, it makes the appropriate pling sound, I start sawing and then it wobbles, so I loosen the plastic tension switch and now the blade make a bow/arch, even though the screws in top and bottom are still tight. then I loosen and retighten the top screw and the game starts over again. I have retightened the counter screw/bolt or whatever it is called that opposes the tightening screw in the top - to no avail. Today while cutting poplar 3/4" I broke three #7 blade and one #3. any ideas what needs to be adjusted on the saw? Love scrolling, but I am not a technician.

    Thanks for asking - yes I had tape on the pattern, too!

    Used Wenge-Wood and had terrible issues with the blades. Broke 2, was burning all the time. Used Pegas modified Geometry #5. Tried an Olson Mach #7 once for about an inch, which was even more terrible. Since the blade bent, I had issues moving the puzzle pieces as there is an unintended angle in some areas of some cuts. Still like how it turned out.
