    Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, buy one get one 50% off. That’s how I do it.

    I typically use 1/4” wood with a 1/8” backer. I use a sawtooth hanger on the back. i glue the hanger with E6000. After glueing, I place a small metal pellet tin (about 2 1/2” round) filled with lead shot balanced on the hanger and leave it about 12 hours. Then, I hang it on my wall and let it hang for a day or so to be sure it’s ok.

    When I got board with my saw I started looking for alternative materials to cut. Acrylic, Steve Good has an Angel cut from it. Card stock (paper) Steve Good has a pattern for a gift box mad from it. Corian, there is an article in the Scroll saw magazine on the subject, Sandwich between 1/8” plywood I have cut a small flower in a notepad to make it uniquely mine. then a piece of a leather belt became a key fob with that same flower cut in it…. If all else fails, buy a new pattern book. (There’s a new people and pets book)

    I think you are supposed to put a drop or two of scented oil on the felt backer.

    I did decorative painting back in the ‘80’s, early 90’s. alwAys seal the wood before painting. Sand the sealer smooth and repeat until your are happy with it and it’s ready to paint. I painted pine. Inexpensive and sands nice.

    I have planed them, be sure of your set up, no snipe, only take off the tiniest bit. Almost sanding…

    I use a skip tooth Pegas blade for thick cuts.

    My adult son’s dog died. It wasn’t unexpected, he had cancer. Still we all loved him. Sheila Landry design.

    Most scroll saws are similar. Can you show us a picture please?

    I take my finished pieces to Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, (whichever is having a sale) and get the frames there. There is usually someone in the frames department to assist, I can also get them matted. The frames are usually buy one, get one 50% off.

    I have a Delta 40-690. I suggest loosing the screw on the left side near the back of the arm just a bit. That will allow the arm to rest naturally.
  16. Roberta Moreton
    What type of pattern are you cutting? Blade choice is determined by pattern, wood type, and thickness. I don’t generally choose pine.
  17. Roberta Moreton
    I would buy it for that price!
  18. Roberta Moreton
    What is the name of the thing that rests under the black plastic to actually hold the arm?
  19. Roberta Moreton
    If you line the insert with heavy plastic, you should be ok. I don’t think you can put anything on treated lumber until it dries out.

    I have used deck stain on many outdoor projects including lawn and deck furniture. It works well and is easy to apply. I just reapplied it as needed.

    I use scraps for most of my ornaments. I don’t make many to sell. I use 1/8” and 1/4” Birch plywood and 1/4” scrap hardwood.

    Billy Joe is playing in my head…
  23. Roberta Moreton
    I would not paint the base.
  24. Roberta Moreton
    I use skip tooth blades. Blade choice depends on type of wood, wood thickness and pattern. So my answer is actually, it depends.
  25. Roberta Moreton
    I will look at that the next time we are in town. I would like the flex shaft part.
