Boy, that looks good to me, and with a hand saw. WOW Jerry

Very cool. Takes me back to when I was a kid. I loved things that glowed in the dark. From the time I was about six, my Dad would buy me a new pocket watch that glowed in the dark. I would hold it under the light then get under the covers to see how long it would last. Don't know how long it lasted because I fell asleep. Thanks for bringing back a memory. Jerry

Steve, welcome to the Village. You have come to the right place. Ask questions, folks here are willing and able to answer any questions you have. I agree with most, the dead man foot pedal is the one to get. Jerry

Welcome to the Village Gregg. More importantly welcome back to scrolling. With your new saw you will have many years of enjoyment. Although the Bauer is new some of our members give it high marks. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Folks here are very knowledgeable and willing to help any way they can. Jerry

Frank, this is beautiful. Jerry

DITTO what Paul and Ray said. When I started I bought and used local library books on the scroll sawing subject. This site beats them all. Keep up what you are doing Travis. You are appreciated. Jerry

I too drill a pilot hole. To clamp together I use a couple of 1 inch blocks that are longer than the block with my pattern then clamp these using two 6 inch clamps. I don't like using tape because I always get sawdust under the tape. Then have to guess where the cutting line is. Usually doesn't end well. Jerry

One of the issues I had was folding the pattern along the dashed line accurately. Was always a little off. Don't remember where I read this tip. but using a straight edge and a xacto knife, score pattern along the dashed line (don't press too hard or you will cut through the pattern), this will give you an accurate fold. I basically use three different kinds of wood because this is what my big box store has available in 1 1/2 inch square. Poplar. Oak, and select pine. I think the select pine is a higher quality than construction pine. Is usually very smooth and free from knots. Hopefully the tips you have read from this thread will give you some encouragement to give compound sawing a try. I got some tips that I will try. When I first tried, results were mostly lopsided, but finally caught on. One book i purchased was 3-D Patterns for the Scroll Saw by Diana Thompson. Got some good tips from this. Happy New Year to all, and Happy Compound Scrolling. Jerry
