    I have had Cedar do that at times and that was with the tape running with the grain. When that happens I just take it off from the other direction.

    All the tips sound great plus Practice, Practice and more Practice!

    I use the 1/4" or 1/2" Baltic Birch depending on the thickness of the piece I'm putting it on.

    That is one of the first things that I learned from the scrolling class that I took years ago. Your able to scroll longer without your shoulder, arms or elbows getting sore!

    I always save the front piece I cut out of the log. People are amazed at what is inside the log.

    I got a book years ago called Fun and Easy Scrollsaw projects. The name on the book is Spielman. There are 3 log patterns in that one.

    You can go into the settings and change or delete the taxes as you want to! I try and avoid checks as I have been burnt before taking them. You might be surprised to how much your sales go up when you can take cards!

    When I want to sand a piece that has been cut out I use my palm sander both front and back. Don't want the sander crabbing and of the pieces and breaking them. On the back if there are any fuzzies left I quickly hit them with a torch!

    I use the Dewalt OBS to get my wood ready for scrolling. Mine has a dust bag on it but find it full quite often. If I use it alot at one time my hand tends to go numb but that's probably just me. Once I get the Fretwork done I use a palm sander on the back to help get off some of the fuzzies.

    When I started scrolling I started out on a 16" Craftsman scroll saw. That got old fast because of the blade change. I broke down and got a New RBI and have not regretted that for one minute after almost 15 years on the same saw! What;s the old saying?" YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR".
