I use blue tape under the pattern and when I finish the first side I reinforce the blank with packing tape

Great ..I figure I am about 80% there with burning I am about 90% without. The new blades and a little more technique and I should be OK

Trackman Looks great.. I thought I might be a little stingy with my blade usage. I must have misread the statement about 5 - 7 blades for one piece, perhaps it was that many for whole set. The set I am working on is similar to yours (classic set from a book of 15 chess sets) mainly for the practice. I would also like to make a more modern set with some inlay.

Bill Yes I am waiting for polar blades before I make any more attempts. I am interested in seeing the difference. Speaking of blades I had an entry level Band saw that I was about to throw out the window. Before doing so I purchased an olson blade ..Hell, it was a night and day difference. I actually use my band saw now. Only issue is it cuts to about 3.75 I wish it was 6" only reason I would replace it now.

Hi All I am relatively new at scroll sawing. I am looking to cut out chess pieces . I am using walnut and curly maple ... 1.5" thick ...I think I read someone used 5 blades to cut one piece is that typical. I am using Flying Dutchman UR7 (just ordered polar#7 ..I see they where recommended by some on forum) . I can cut out a 3.5 inch rook with one blade with very little burn marks on walnut a bit more on maple. Results are pretty good, but I think I can do a little better, if I slow it down a bit. Any other pointers would be appreciated. Thank you Anthony

Hi All New to scroll sawing... A couple of my hobbies include basic watch repair and servicing, and woodworking projects. I have a small work shop in my basement but it is pretty well equip for my needs. I recently combined both hobbies and starting making mantel clocks when I ran across people making clocks totally out of wood. I purchased a cheap wen scroll saw just to stick my toe in the water. After cutting my first gear I became very interested in learning more about scroll sawing. I seen some of the work you guys do here and can only hope I can get as proficient, Anthony
