Welcome Dave.Glad you made it, bring on the questions. Have you cut anything yet.... Maybe you still need to buy that saw...... Which one?

Inspect it: Look for adjustments on the new clamps. You need flat surfaces on both side for the blade to be clamped to Will I still have this same problem if I spent the money and got a more expensive scroll saw NO. well... Most likely not.

Very nice looking Marg. I like the 'red' one a lot. Hope your camera has an easy cheap fix.

What an idea! Great job, thank you for showing.

That is very nice. Good color background.

Oh, and I like your painting...........

Very nice. Pleased you showed us your fun projects. To add to Roly's suggestion, Go buy a tooth brush for false teeth (whether you need it or not). Use the brush to scrub those fuzzies of. The brush wil get most of them off. d

Hip Hip ... Congratulations.

Here is a link to a continuation....Survey results....kinda http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/17503-results-of-blade-usage/

Malcolm, Glad to have you. There is lifetime of learning here. Just to let you know, there are 'Experts' on your side of the pond too and World Wide. A big scrolling family where if you don't know something, it's because you didn't ask. Until you get that "Heg', make a pile of sawdust.

I ran out of 'LIKES'

Nice work... Very nice. All of it. Especially the lighted Church scene.

Another... At what angle do you cut an inlay ?

Jim Finn is the answer man. Go to General Scrollsawing and search for inlay.........it's all there. The answer lies in which way you tilt the table...... Old answer from Jim: A test piece is the way to find out the degree required. I use all 3/8" thickness wood with a #5 or #7 blade and tilt my table on my saw about 2.2°. I do inlay and always hot glue the wood to be inlaid on the bottom and cut both at once keeping the image to the right of my blade with the right side of the table tilted up the required angle. Your saw , blades and wood thickness may require different tilt angle.

That is gospel, so to say. And you cannot have too much exposure. NIce sign.

Dan, How was Christmas Day? Ours went well. Gee, lets see. Long story, hope you have time to read it all. My wife Susan wanted me to cut her 'Leaves'. Just plain old leaves...straight up. So, I cut her 'leaves'. Oak, Maple, Chestnut, Beech that she hangs over clocks, wall light and such. Actually I have three Leaf patterns with Birds. This one with two birds, another with a Humming Bird and a third with one bird. I've cut them all. The 'One Bird' one I sold at a Craft Fair. The Humming Bird one, got broken into ten plus pieces (I think I have all the parts in a little bag) She has all three of the 'Birds in Maple Leaf' taking her time deciding if she wants to keep one or two. When I cut something new, it is hers to keep or give as a gift. Mostly unique things. I stack cut three, maybe I'll get one back. What are my plans for them????????? If I get them back... They will be stored until someone wants them. Running out of room to store stuff Almost everything I cut, I do it because I like it and want to see it cut. Love these questions. God bless and as 'Bobscroll' says, "See you later."

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome,

This is the first post admittedly an error. It need to be framed, hung on the wall. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the error?

Stack cut three. These are about 5" in length. The wood is a variety of Luan 1/4" thick. I enjoyed cutting these. Ok, I'm guessing these are a Steve Good pattern.

Russ, welcome !! Glad you joined us and will patiently wait for pictures. Oh, and wait for questions, that's how we all learn or re-learn.

yes

Thank you. May your Christmas Day be grand and happy.

It looks nice! Merry Christmas.

I guess the 'oderless' gave a warning. Good to read this info. I need to buy Mineral Spirits and will watch out for that.
