If people ask me what I do on my scroll saw I say I make "a piece of wood"
So long time ago I promised a co worker that I would make a "piece of wood" for him.....
Guess he already forgot this, so to surprise him, I made him the logo of his Rock band.
the band is called "Suspension of Disbelieve."
about 5,5" in diameter and made it out of 1/2" Cherry with a glossy lacker finish.
was a "hard project" because I had to think all the time to go the right way, clockwise or counter clockwise, so the right parts would rise or lower just the right way.

That's one nice "piece of wood". I'm new here so I'll ask:
- did you slightly angle the blade so the raised pieces slide up and fill the kerf?
- Did you place fillers behind the raised parts or are they glued to the sunken parts (or both)?
- I don't see any pilot holes. How did you hide those?
Thanks.

Very nice piece of work there. Those angle can be tricky. I too looked for blade entry holes and found none. Well done.

I tilt the table between 3 and 5 degrees depending on the thickness of the wood.
Also have to tilt the table of the drill press, but be careful. watch real well which direction you have to drill/saw
clockwise or counterclockwise. you might make a mistake and drill 180 degrees the wrong way.....
I use .68 or .71 drills.
after sawing I raise the parts and mark the line with a pencil.
then I will carefully sand the raised parts above the marked line so I don't see the drill hole there anymore.
after all is glued, I take a nail with a drop of glue on the tip and fill the pilot hole.
then I put on sawdust of the same wood, press it with the nail and within a minute or so I remove the unnecessary sawdust carefully.
a little sanding and no more drill hole..... (well almost)
I add some pictures with the pilot holes and a close up.
hope this will help you.
