    Beautiful. Waiting for the completed pictures with great anticipation. Great job of cutting, too.

    Thank very much for all your suggestions. I think hot glue is my best avenue.

    I want to cut multiple designs in three layers of 1/8"BB. How do I adhere the layers to cut them all out individually? Thanks in advance.

    The backing looks black in the post but it's royal blue. It's about 10" tall.

    For SIL. 1/4 BB on 1/8 BB. Medium Watco and rattle can blue.

    I use Tre Wax. HF sells a pack of 6 or so of white wax sticks. I use them on both scroll saw blades and band saw blades. It does make a difference.

    I don't know enough to offer help. Heck, I don't know enough to ask for help.

    Man...I hope it's that simple.

    This place is an authorized DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita and Ryobi service center. Unfortunately, they didn't replace my Dewalt. They've now got my Dewalt planer for repair. For some reason, it won't crank down to below 2". Hope it's just a simple fix

    IDK, Wichman. The guy who worked on it wasn't available when I got it. No info on the receipt.
  11. Gene Howe
    They did fix it. The problem was a thumping noise near the head. Not to the rear as is most common.
  12. Gene Howe
    They had all kinds of excuses for the delay. Holidays, needed parts and had to order...etc. ..etc.
  13. Gene Howe
    They did.

    My Dewalt finally got discharged. Got it home late yesterday afternoon. Today's job is remounting it on my shopmade stand. Sure happy to have it back.

    In AZ, I buy camp stove fuel. It's close to 100% alcohol. It might be available in Kaliforny.

    Great jobs...both of you.

    Those are very nice, Witchman. But, one wouldn't expect any less from an expert like you.

    Beautiful cutting, Bob. Love your patterns. I've just finished up a batch of band sawn reindeer. Next up are scrolled Christmas ornaments. Hope mine turn out as nice as yours. Don't hold your breath, though.

    "The price I sell the trucks for is currently $16. Considering the amount of labor that goes into them, I should be asking for more." Totally agree! And, thanks a bunch for responding to my query.
  20. Gene Howe
    Those are good looking vehicles, Bob. The paint jobs are superb. Your process works great. I need to up my game. About how long does it take you per unit? Do you sell them? If so, what price are putting the blue trucks, for instance.
  21. Gene Howe
    Thanks Kev. Great idea.
  22. Gene Howe
    Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll try kevs' suggestion first since I have the paint markers.

    I made several little vehicles from poplar. I painted most of them with canned spray paint. On a few, I used acrylics and artist brushes. I'm not entirely satisfied with how either process finished up. I'm now embarking on scrolling some Christmas decorations. I'll be using 1/8 and 1/4 BB. My question is should the pieces be primed after finish sanding and, before using the acrylics? If so, is there a particular primer that's best?
  24. Gene Howe
    Very nice, witchman. Hope you sell out. You surely should.
  25. Gene Howe
    I got one like that. Mine's a Proxxon. IDK, that Microlux may have been somewhat less expensive.
