Where to purchase blades -- Let the arguing begin :)
Norm Fengstad replied to James E. Welch's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I use both pegas and niqua from Garnet Hall (Sawbird) as he is local to me ( Saskatchewan, Canada)and shipping costs are reasonable, then so is Denny at Artcrafters as he also sells Pegas and has reasonable shipping and is a fellow scroller. I think Niqua blades are made in Germany they seem more flexible, Pegas sharpness lasts a bit longer but are more brittle. Bearwoods are a good supplier as well but bigger companies have higher overhead. -
They are probably trained to be ornery underneath is a nice person
-
Thank you, yes I do order blades from Garnet Hall and his patterns are very good.
-
Denny is the best but the Jerky Canadian Customs guy is a spoiler

Baltic birch is my go to for most of my ornaments, portraits ,puzzles etc , I do like cutting solid wood as well

I cut a lot of baltic birch and seldom go any thicker stack than 3/4 inch as problems increase.

I cut our welcome sign from a sliced ACQ treated fence board. Backer also out of fence board was painted with a black acryllic then sign coated with Thompson water seal; had no effect on the acryllic paint . Sign gets completely covered over in snow last 3 winters . Unfortunately this year the sign couldn;t withstand pressures of the snowplow so will have to be replaced!

Great find and whatever you cut from the salvage there will be a nice history to it
