    I often use ca glue to stack cut, I over size the boards a bit then putting a drop on each corners and on the edge clamp for a few minutes and it is good to go. It is easy to separate with a slim drywall scraper.

    I bought a Dremel 20 plus some years ago ran smooth, but continual switch, problems dust would get into the switch, air/ dust blower was weak so I added a fish tank air pump to assist, blades kept slipping out of the clamps until I made a tool to assist in tightening them. Once these frustrating problems were overcome it was a great tool for outside cuts but patterns with interior cuts became a pain as one has to reach to the back to tension the blade each time and the arm could not be raised so threading the blade through holes became tedious. It has taken up space in the shop for about 8 years now .

    I get my BB in 5X5 sheets at our local Coop Lumber yard for about the same price or if I go to the city at my favorite hardwood speciality store (Windsor Plywood) it is around 30 bucks in Canadian dollars. but the guy says it is a better grade, I am not seeing much difference in quality but who I am I to judge such matters.. Windsor also have a cabinet grade birch in 4X8 sheets that has a varnished like finish. similar to your pictures It cuts nicely but it does have some inner core voids.

    Howdy back to Great Grampaw Richard from downtown Burlington Washington, I am Norm that lives on the Southern edge of Nipawin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Now the edge of Nipawin is not very far from the downtown. Great picture of you and the youngest. If you are ever out for a drive stop in for coffee in the meantime don't forget to show some of your brag pictures.

    Bought some thermo modified wood (poplar) looked similar to walnut but walnut is much nicer to work with

    Thanks for the discussion.Cedar does look , cuts nice and has an appealing aroma. For me it also gives me water blisters mostly on my face. An Occupational Hygienist told me years ago I had a sensitivity to the oils in the wood. These oils are not good for the lungs, enter your system through the eyes and sometimes through the skin.

    I think we all have an UFF DA moment to tell. My saw developed a terrible rattle . Checked it over many times , tightened this and tigtened that, crawled under it and over it but found nothing that would cause it..Every time I turned it on it rattled untill, by accident, I moved the flex air blower hose away from the blade. UFF DA.

    i agree with steve, thin ca glue poured into the cack and allow to dry or use an accelerator

    I have used super glue that I bought from a hobby store. the super thin stuff is good for cracks and fragile scroll work items like standing grass or something like that .however it did harden in the bottle over time

    Thanks for keeping the scroll site clean ,

    Blades have already been mentioned, Be skeptical on advice from the salesmen selling the scrolling product. scrolling is all about patience, persistance, learning and reward.
