I've just started mixing my own wipe-on finish: 1 part pure Tung Oil, 1 part MS, I part gloss polyurethane (found on a YouTube Video). I like that I can mix it in small batches and now use the smallest container for the mixed amount as needed. Sometimes I've used empty prescription bottles to hold the leftover amount with no problems. The first couple of times I used a larger container and was surprised to see how quickly the poly started to skim over in a day or two. Between the small container (less air space) and turning the container upside down when finished, it seems to minimize the amount of poly that skims. I also came across the suggestion to use glass marbles to take up the air space. I haven't tried that yet as I tailor my mix to the item(s) I am finishing. I've only done this for applying finish to dough bowls and it's worked well - I can wipe on a coat or two a day and so far, 4 coats have produced a good finish.

Welcome from Delaware. Many board feet of answers here to any questions you have about scroll sawing

I got my Jet 14" from HD - free shipping + veteran discount. No regrets.

Agree - I got the Jet 14" last year mainly for resawing and have not been disappointed. Recently got into making dough bowls out of logs. It has not problem cutting a 12" diameter log in half. And for making rough cuts and resawing. But I am ready to buy a smaller bandsaw (9"-10")for smaller more intricate cutting (i.e.; bandsaw boxes/cutting the outline of a scroll saw pattern). On the fence about ceramic/cool blocks vs. roller bearings. While I could use a smaller blade, I don't like having to take the time to swap out and tune the blades.

Welcome from Delaware. This is a most impressive site for scroll sawing information.

Welcome from Delaware. This is a most, if not the most comprehensive place for scroll saw information.

I guess it's true - there is nothing new under the sun. But that is still a very cool find. -
Welcome from Delaware. You are in the right place.

Hello and a Delaware welcome to the Village. You will like it here. And learn a lot of tips and tricks.
-
I second that - 99% of what I've made over the past years have been using Steve Good patterns. And the folks here are a wealth of tips and tricks. A Delaware welcome to you.

Another year of using the Pegas - not as much this year, but enough. Maintenance is the same - replaced the tiny clamps that grip the blades as they do wear. Recuring satisfied customer.

Welcome from Delaware! This forum is a great place to get more tips and tricks.

I use the full sheet labels most of the time. Occasionally, I'll have a pattern that I will use a box and Krylon Easy Tack spray. The box also doubles as a paint spray booth.

Me Too! Welcome!!

Delta 788 - now disassembled awaiting me to get replacement bearings. Which I thinking I'll never do as I have a Pegas that keeps me busy. Keeping my eyes on prices for new Delta's - the old story of price comparing a new one compared to cost of total bearing replacement.

What he said and welcome from Delaware.

Outstanding job! 2up.

I was driving by a neighbor's house a couple years ago and saw faint smoke coming out of the basement window. Stopped and discovered it was actually the wood mulch on the ground in front of the window catching on fire from a gallon glass jar filled with water with the sun shining on it and the light passing thru the water in the jar and focused on the mulch on the ground. Fire Dept responded and put it out. My son-in-law is a Firefighter and he told me that happens (glass bottles acting as a magnifier) more than people realize.

WOW-za! Nice cutting!
-
Welcome from Delaware and by the looks of your work, we may have a thing or two to learn from you.
-
Same here. And most times I put a sheet of the shelf liner on the wood first, then the pattern on top of that. It eliminates the need to use MS to remove the glue from the wood when done.

We got just shy of 4 inches of rain this morning in Dover, DE. And needed it. Just took the trash out to the road and came back moist - the humidity is waaay high! I'm OK in the garage until the temp gets above 82 (as long as I'm just sitting and cutting).
