I just held it against the belt sander, which led to the inconsistencies in the edging. Sometimes it tore them from the hands. Patience is not one of my virtues, but I think the wood will teach me. ;-)

Walnut and mystery wood from a scrap pile. Also: a tisket a tasket/a trivet a basket... (I am not sure, I got the angle right on the spiral. Also it broke off right at the spiral end when I oiled it. Very annoying and hard to fix.

Thanks guys. Your cheering is always giving me so much confidence! Sure glad I landed here!

Here is the one I made: I love the depth of the multi-layered piece.

It Is the one I have been using for the puzzles and the nativity I made. It is simply awesome. Since I am German, I appreciate the texts, too. I also backordered all previous issues from last year.

Another set of puzzles from Saburo Oguro as found in the German scroll saw magazine. I stack-cut the first set (poplar and oak 1/2" each), it went perfectly. I tried the second set (walnut and oak 3/4" each), and it all went wrong. Even though, I was careful to let the blade do the walking, I could see after the first two elephants came out, that the bottom pieces were increasing, i.e. the blade was bending. So I undid the stack and had to switch to poplar. I then cut the pieces separately. But as you can see in the picture there are bit gaps, when mixing and matching. This puts me back to the problem with inlays. Obviously I can't figure out the right blade for cutting two pieces of 3/4" hardwood stacked. I used an OLSON MACH 9R. I had previously bought the OLSON Scroll Blades for Thick wood, but I cannot make any tight turns with those. The Blade will bend but not go around the curve unless it is rather big. Sorry if I am mixing bragging and asking for advice here. Hope that is ok with forum etiquette.

So, I truly love the dust collection on the Excalibur. And I love how quiet the Excalibur is. But my hubby got me a bucket vacuum and that thing is so loud that I will be deaf before the year is out. Do you have any suggestions for the most quiet and efficient vacuum?

Aw...

Now I want it and can't find it...

It's because "autocorrect" changed Oguro to Oruro when I first posted... I corrected it!
-
Could the wood be bigleaf maple? I seem to remember it being some maple variety.

Mystery wood from the scrap pile at Woodcraft store. Was something special they said, but I can't remember. Can anybody identify the wood? It look like silk once I put the oil on. Amazing. Got the pattern from the German Scrollsaw magazine. Japanese Designer: Saburo Oguro. Edit: "Saburo Oguro"

I love the trivet! Fantastic!

Great topic. So how do you use the foot switch when standing? Haven't tried because I can't imagine.
-
Do you guys saw sitting down or standing up? I stand and cannot fathom using the foot switch while standing. What's your opinion/experience?
