  1. Thanks Les.
  2. Thanks Jim. That is the way the pattern suggested. Next time, I think I will glue the back before cutting out the outside and then cutting as you suggested.
  3. Thanks Ray. Tennessee "Home Sweet Home" could be just for you!
  4. Thanks RJ. TN is a great state. We love it here too.
  5. Welcome to the forum from TN
  6. I finished these Monday, October 28th. The pattern designer is unknown and I purchased from Scroller Online. I used 1/2" Poplar and backed with 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood stained black. It is approximately 3 1/2" x 13". I used FD UR #1 blades and finished with two coats spray Polyurethane Clear Satin. Comments welcome.
  7. I have now made over 40 of these. This is a custom request for a friend at Walmart. The pattern designer is unknown and the site is no longer available. I used 1/2" Walnut. It is approximately 6 1/2" high and 7" wide. I used FD UR #1 blades. The finish is two coats spray Polyurethane Clear Satin. Comments welcome.
  8. ArtCrafters is a distributor for Pegas. I purchased a scroll saw for demos, trials, and classes. As I set it up, I removed the hold down clamp just as most of us do. I noticed there is a blade clamp about 1 inch in front of the blade clamp. It made it hard for my fingers to install the blades, so I removed this blade guard. Rather easy, but I had to remove the table to get at the blade guard. Now on to scrolling.
  9. Mighty fine work. Nice clean cuts.
  10. Very well done, Dan. I think it looks great just the way it is.
  11. Yes, we are distributors for Pegas, but I have not had much time to give a good evaluation. My first saw was a DeWalt 788. I since purchased an EX21. Both are still in use and my go to saw is the EX21 with the Pegas clamp upgrade. As for service, you can't beat Ray at Seyco. He has been a great help several times. I don't know if this ramblings helps.
  12. Welcome to the forum from TN. Looks like you got a lot of good suggestions. I use Poplar for many projects purchased at a big box store.
  13. Rather than starting a new thread, I thought I would add three new ones to this post. Not a lot of time on the scroll saw yesterday, but I did complete three. The first one is made from Mahogany and the next two from Cherry. I used FD UR #1 blades and finished with spray Polyurethane clear satin. Comments welcome.
  14. I end up sneezing working with cedar, so I always wear a mask.
  15. Welcome to the forum from TN.
  16. Thanks Dave
  17. Thanks Marg. I have not given them to the requester and she will use them as gifts
  18. Thanks Gordie. I thought the grain might be too pronounced, but the Ash looks good.
  19. Thanks Peter.
  20. Thanks Melanie.
  21. Thanks Edward.
  22. Great looking project and framing too!
  23. Thanks Ron.
  24. Beautiful. Nice to include quilling into a scrolled project.
