  5. Looks good I like it
  6. Thank you all really appreciate you all. I guess just go with my heart then is the best bet ?
  7. I am using these Olson Mach speed univ no. 3R blades 13 tpi 7 skip for 1/4 pine plywood and so far it seems to be doing a good job but what the heck do I know? Also why does some saws have like a fence that holds the wood down and some dont? I have the newer skil variable speed saw that has a shield that holds the wood in place to keep things from jumping everywhere.
  8. Hello does anyone know what color stain steve uses on his backboard? I just made this piece and the wood is all pine so just curious if anyone would know? Sorry if this is the wrong place for this...Shaun
  9. Thank you all I appreciate your help I picked up some Olson blades to see what I can come up with. What's this book that was mentioned? Wouldn't mind picking it up and the Pegasus blades from the guy on here. I have been trying to watch YouTube videos and stuff also unfortunately a scroll saw class is not available in my area or I would definitely attend one. I had a uncle that made me a bass fish clock years back but he passed away unfortunately but I look at that clock and thank man I wish I could do something like that that's so beautiful but that kinda got me interested so I decided to give it a try.
  10. Thank you all for all your help really appreciate it. I have been messing around with the Steve Good patterns and using some of the paneling stuff and with the smaller junk blades i have it's cutting pretty decent the wood is probably 1/8" but the patterns says to use 1/4" so does anyone else ever use thinner wood with his patterns? Once I get the right blades I'll pick up to what he says but these fine blades are not lasting long with the 1/4" wood.
  11. Hello yes I could purchase it do you have a link to where it can be purchased? Thank you
  12. I will be in touch with you thank you
  13. I am from Ohio and just now getting started out I apologize if all this stuff has been answered should have probably went back to see if I could find answers to my questions.
  14. I have found his patterns and have been tinkering around trying to make something I have a couple I made using really thin 1/8" wood
  15. Thank you I just really cranked it down pretty good it seems like it's cutting much better with the wide blade . Yeah I kind of figured those blades were probably not the best but it was the only thing here that I could get. I guess anxious to get started making things but I will definitely check out the blades you and Dan suggested. I do know menards has Olson blades here in my area I was thinking about giving those a try probably buy a little bit of different brands and see. Yes I will definitely be setting down and reading up lots on this forum.
  16. Thank you Dan. I am messing with the saw now and I tightened the tension up really good and it seems like it's cutting better with the wide blade but I hope it wasn't tightened to tight? Heard a kinda pop sound so I'm not sure? Yeah I believe I have the blade in the correct cutting direction. Lots of learning with this stuff for sure hopefully I will figure this all out.
  17. Hello all I am new to the scroll saw stuff and picked up my first saw which is a skil brand Jan 8th. I have started out on thick wood and have scaled down to 1/4 pine to 1/8 " I found around the house. I also went to Lowe's and picked up some blades made by Bosch. Are those blades worth messing with? Anyone ever use? I picked up two packs the first being 20 tpi an .110 and the others is 28 tpi and 0.22 I learned very quickly that the .110 wasnt able to do curves without the blade twisting so im assuming those are for straight line cuts maybe? The 28 tpi 0.22 seems like they do fairly decent in the 1/8" stuff but moving to the 1/4" stuff they seem to dull kind of fast so I'm wondering what blades would be less trouble cutting wood from 1/8" to 1/2" and even 3/4" and what wood would be best to learn with thats not super expensive? Thank you
