Same here. I have the Ridged too. Never a problem. I use it all the time. -
How do you get to see and download Sam's patterns? I do not have facebook and don't intend too have facebook.

I like train patterns, train clocks, and all kinds of trains. I especially like yours. Excellent job cutting it.

I have an older model (grey) 14" Jet band saw that I have not used for quite some time. I would like to resurrect it to do some re-sawing. I'm looking for some advice on how to go about that and what blade should I use? I have never used it for re-sawing. I only used it for some scrolling of large toys I made about 25 or so years ago and only occasionally since then. It's almost like new, just dusty. I don't have a fence for it either. Should I try and make one, or buy one? Thanks in advance Ben

Excellent. We like it a lot. We also like nautical items, Our family room is nautical themed and has many nautical themed pieces. Some I made and some I bought. In fact, I'm working a Intarsia Mermaid right now to add to our theme.

Very nice. I like it a lot. I'm a clock fan. I have many in my house that I have made..

2 weeks? That's great. This one took me 2 months. But I'm old, slow, lazy, and take a lot of naps.

It is 1/4"solid walnut except for the backer behind the dial (1/4" oak) and a 3/8" piece of walnut for the housing base. I used 2/0 Olson reverse tooh blades for the entire clock. Yes, the walnut and the Westminster movement were over a hundred bucks. Plus others costs. Deft spray lacquer, dial, hands and whatever., I'm keeping it for now. Probably some family member will want it sooner or later. They know what a sucker I am. I never sell anything I make. I do this for the enjoyment and fun. I like to make clocks. This is my 4th fretwork clock. I have one more that I will (hopefully} do starting this fall. It is called the Guardian Angel clock. Thanks for the compliment Frank Ben

Clock is finished My picture taking is not very good. The hands we picked out are too small. I have ordered some larger ones. They will be here next week.

I use PGT blades all the time and have used them for many years. PGT "Precision Ground Tooth" are Olson blades. They cut straight and they last a long time, however, they are aggresive. The key is to not push to either side of the blade. As others have said, let the blade do the work. I find if I slow the saw down and push slowley and keep the blade 90 degress to the table you will not have a problem. Yes, it takes longer. However, I don't do this to mke money. I do it for fun. Perfect circles are not easy to make.This takes practice. Sometimes a lot of practice. Here's a link to the Olson web site. You can get all the information and what the various designations about the blades there. https://www.olsonsaw.net/shop/scroll-saw-blades/plain-end-scroll-saw-blades-5-in-6-in/skip-reverse-tooth-pgt-precision-ground-tooth-5-in/ Good luck.

I recently bought this from Micro Mark. It is one cool little mini power sander. It gets into a lot of places that you just can't reach by hand and saves a lot of time. I found in very useful for fretwork. Especially for the long wavy cuts you get sometimes. Check it out. It is not a toy. https://www.micromark.com/MicroLux-Micro-Sander

I have some that looks like that. It is just over 3/4" I have had it for about 20 years and still tryig to figure out what to use it for.

I did this a few years ago. It is a Judy Gale Roberts design. I recently gave it to my son-in-law. It now resides in sunny FL. Wood used Aspen Walnut Western Red Cedar Cherry Yellowheart Maple Poplar

We're amateurs here. Biggest one we did was 750 pieces. We don't make any puzzels, but I sure get a kick out of seeing what you guys make. Some really cool stuff. I'll bet the youngsters really like them.
-
I thought this might be interesting to see, especially for the puzzle makers here.

Thanks

You captured him perfectly. We really like it. What size blade did you use?
