I have been using tape/spray adhesive and found it to be much better than gluing pattern to wood. NOW I have started using "full sheet clear label" , I use my Epson printer and am able to resize and print multiple small patterns on one sheet. Try it you might like it.

Thank everyone that answered my question. After I read the first post about Danish oil, I checked and had a new can of tung oil. I have given the pieces a good soaking coat. Will wait to see what drying does.

I cut a lot of 3/4 thick gifts. Have not found a satisfactory way to get finish down in the narrow cuts. Please provide some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Ivan! Here's pic of the finished gift.

Please help me decide where to, cut/not cut. this pattern. I'm having a senior moment. Thank you to ALL for suggestions.

Some time my tremor causes unwanted "ripples" in the cut. Have been trying different ways to hand sand. Now I have taken broken sanding belt and cut into narrow strips. Then cut to length install set tension and sand away, no tremors ;-). See the video demo. IMG_0215.mov

On my Mac I drag to desktop, then click and it opens in preview. Then print gives a screen to let me set the % for size. Hope this is clear as M U D.

Rockytime, Thanks for this idea. I'm going to get mine made this afternoon.

What is proper when it comes to using patterns found on the internet? If they are not used for items that will be sold, what should be the criteria for copying and using for gifts?

Does anyone know of a font that is "scroll saw" ready?

Just got my new King 16 set up. Have been putting up with Delta 12, changing blade was taking most of the pleasure away. Seem like King is going much slower speed, but cutting better. Shown is my first project, for great, granddaughter 1 1/4 " poplar. Used Olson spiral #4, I'm thinking another choice would have been better. ??? Looks rough to me. Hoping some of you delightful (already been reading for a few days) people will pass on some good advice. I do have a slight problem from time to time with tremors, but if I take a short break and try to keep my hands resting on the work piece or table thing go better.
