    Welcome from Southern Europe. I also use most of my wood from the nearby forests, but unfortunately I don't have such a variety of woods, most of it is red pine and oak, and some maple too, but I am quite happy with it.

    Welcome from the land of Catalans!

    I am curious about the types of local woods you can get in NZ.

    Welcome from Southern Europe and enjoy!

    You are right, but in my case I need to do quite a lot of job afterwards because I can't scroll such perfect circles. I find, though, very interesting also this piece of advise: since it might make much easier to cut them on the scroll saw. I will definitely give them a try. Thanks!

    Bienvenido from Spain, Jose.

    Just curious about what blade did you use?

    Impressive job. Congratulations. On the blue stains: Where I live these kind od stains are extremely common and not very liked. As far as I am concerned it's caused by a totally harmless fungus, but because of its aspect, this wood is normally dismissed. I have plenty of it because od that. I am not sure if I am talking about the same blue stains that you can see on the frame of the picture, but they looks like it. I personally like them very much.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. I think I should pay more attention to eliminate the saw dust as frequently as possible. I will try to use my VAC, that might help also everytime the hole saw is backed out.

    I am using bi-metal HSS for the moment being.

    I am doing a lot of toy cars, trucks and so on and I need a reliable hole saw that does not "burn down" after a couple of uses. I am very careful using them (low speed, smooth pressing on the drill press...) but it doesn't help much. After some uses, they are already dull. By the way, I am using pine most of the time, it's not a hard wood. I thought about buying them, but unfortunately in Europe you don't get a good offer as in the USA, where you can buy a bunch of them for not much money and in a different range of sizes. So I decided I would make mine as they suit me better. Anyway, what is your experience with these hole saws and what kind of material (eventually producer) would you recommend? Thank you for your comments.

    Just another way of poisoning oneself (as well as the environment).

    Unbelievable... The detail of the warrior is awesome.

    Amazing, Paul. Do you have a picture of your other 2 best jobs? Just curious to see how they look like, if this is your third best one.

    Welcome from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. I am sure that most of folks here will be able to help you as they helped me. Enjoy!

    I wish my first project looked like that.... Good job!!!!

    This is for me one of the main reasons to use a footswitch (and I don't still have one). I am afraid that continuously switching on and off my Pégas will end with a non-usable switch. So for me, it's one of my netxt buys.
  19. Ber Gueda
    I totally agree with this. In my case, it's pine. It's easy to cut, easy to sand. Maybe it doesn't look the best, but... in my case, it's for free.

    I have heard Rikon are great saws. I don't know if the chinese ones are exact copies, they might be very similar but there might be differences at some important places. There is a big difference in price (quality materials maybe...?) The importer here provides help and service to the saws they sell, this shoudn't be a big issue.

    Looking at the pictures a question came to my mind: I find the blade a little far away from the front edge of the table. Is it more comfortable to scoll like this?
  22. Ber Gueda
    Thank you all for your answers and tips. I will defintely try some of the suggestions you made and I will let know right here. I think that it might help other beginners too.

    Thanks for your advice. I always looked at Intarsia as something impossible for me to do, so I did not pay much attention to the techniques, but I will have a look at them. It is true that intarsia is a lot about sanding.
  24. Ber Gueda
    I had a look at them, but I am not sure which one would be the most suitable, and bearing in mind that they are not cheap (maybe becasue they have to ship them to Europe), I was not able to make a reasonable decision.

    Maybe it's not a problem of tools but of skills.
