Welcome to the village from North Mississippi. I’m also new to the group. I’ve found there’s a lot of friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people here. It’s great!!

Has anyone tried the heat transfer method. I saw this on YouTube on a wood burners channel. One drawback is if the piece being cut has a name or something on it, the pattern has to be printed in reverse. Then place the printout on the wood and use a soldering iron with a flat tip to transfer the ink to the wood. I have a set up for this but haven’t tried it yet. I’ll find something to try it on and give y’all an update.

Here’s some of my work. The large oval piece I did with my 1st saw many years ago. Patents still has it hanging in their house. First two are Steve Good designs. Third I drew up for my niece’s wedding cake topper. Fourth I did a long time ago with my first saw. No clue where that pattern came from.

I’m getting back into scrolling. I started with a craftsman saw. Then the Dewalt truck came to work and I tried their scroll saw and loved it. Sold the craftsman and planned on getting the Dewalt. Before doing that I visited an uncle in KY and found out he had a scrollsaw. He had 2 RBI saws. I tried them and really wanted one. That was the last time I sat at scroll saw till about 2 years ago. I picked up and old RBI 220-3 from a coworker and started enjoying the piece and quiet of me and the saw. I have now picked up another RBI 226 VS this week. Hope to play with it tonight. I’ve done some freehand projects. My grandkids name signs for their rooms and some Steve Good plans as well. I have a plan for a clock that’s been stuck in my head since I got the 220. It’ll take some planning but I’ll get to it soon. Look fwd to learning any tips and tricks to speed up my process especially in the painting or staining. Thanks Ron
