I have started to do a few craft shows. For fun, a way to remove some projects from my walls, shelves, etc. Small boxes, and bowls sell. Market place shoppers around here are looking for flea market junk.

SE North Carolina here! Get the Hegner if you can. Try it first, it is a much better saw. It takes standard pinless scroll saw blades.

We bought ours 14 years ago. We are on a rural, small, curvy, highway. One acre, double wide with two garages, a single and a half and an extra large double. 3 bed, two bath home. Our first master bath! It’s not mobile, be fancy, it’s MODULAR!

I’m going to look for those! We have the same, double wide.

I have cut sandpaper strips to fit inside cuts for some smoothing, use a utility knife, with the back side of the paper up. It can help I did NOT read completely through all the comments, I just scanned. Quick question, what type of blades are you using? Flat or spiral? Spiral will not give a smooth finish. Less than smooth curves or not straight lines? You need to practice cutting. I just had to throw out a complex piece because my curves were so bad, and I stack cut. With a reverse tooth blade.

I’ve done it. Use a sharp, wide chisel. It will work fine. There is nothing wrong with trying different things. Sometimes it’s fun.

Cutting board oil can be made with a mix of mineral oil and beeswax. Mostly mineral oil. Warmed enough to melt the beeswax.

Hanging An Odd Shaped Miniature Birdhouse
Roberta Moreton replied to BadBob's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I would wrap it in some cloth, like rags, wash cloths, my husbands underwear, and then stick it in a coffee cup for stability and then drill a hole as close to the center as I could. Add screw eye. -
I first dip my trivets in mineral oil. Then set on a rack to drip for a few days. Then I wipe off and then wipe with a mineral oil and beeswax mix. Wait overnight and buff. Mine has been on my table and in use for a few years. Too much beeswax in that mix and you will find yourself picking dry wax out of all the nook and crannies. I do a similar process for cutting boards. Only more mineral oil and more soaking.

Huge Break-Through (For Me) ((Puzzle Related))
Roberta Moreton replied to jbrowning's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I have been cutting some puzzles from 3/4 popular using a #3. The hardest part is going slow while cutting the puzzle ‘keys’. Go slow enough so the bottom of the blade keeps up with the top of the blade. Sometimes I do have to do some sanding, but I’m getting better! -
I just ordered the book from Fox Chapel. I hope I can cut it as well!
-
I always recommend the Scroll Saw Workbook. I have a very old edition.

Beautiful cut! Awesome that Sue Mey asked you!
-
Beautiful!

The biggest advantage of more expensive saws is because they don’t take pinned blades, the blade changes for the pinless blades is easy and pinless blades means smaller pilot holes. Check out Carole Rothman’s book on bowls on the scroll saw.

Remember, I was born and raised in NE Ohio. So very different it very true!

I speak ONE language, and do THAT poorly.

Welcome to the Village!

We go to NC Outer Banks most years. Myrtle Beach is very active. I can’t live there, I would never be anywhere else but the beach.

This is amazing

I Thought A Pattern Similar Could Be Cool
Roberta Moreton replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Good idea. -
There was a mill near the town we used to live in Ohio. I used to go there to buy their unbleached flour to make bread. Every time I see one I think of that.

Did you try adjusting the tension at all?
