General Scroll Saw Talk / Post to wood

« on: July 23, 2010, 09:32:09 pm »

This jarrah fence post was given to me some time ago, I have now cut into strips and glued it together to make useable boards for the saw the large boards are 16"x8"x3/8" and the smaller ones are12"x4 1/2x 3/8" they should look good when cut and oiled it is a very close grain and hard wood but is exellent to work with apart from the red dust

General Scroll Saw Talk / On Oiling

« on: July 22, 2010, 11:10:35 pm »

I just used the dip method for aplying the oil to a of jigsaws and it was a lot quicker and a better coverage, will use a lot more oil but the finish will be more even, I may try it with a bit more thinners

This the first cross I have cut and it took about 2 1/2 hours I think I could have done it quicker with a spiral

General Scroll Saw Talk / spiral blade

« on: July 16, 2010, 03:23:42 am »

I have heard you guys debating spiral blades and today I wished I had some to try, my first attempt at a cross with a lot of interecate cuts and it took me fore-ever going back and forewards to get good clean cuts and I can see that a spiral would have been the ansewer

Is for a cuppa tea, just finished my tea before settling down to watch some crap on TV then it is off to bed for dreams on how I can do my sawing better OR perhaps make a better job of finishing, these are only dreams, as I used to have when I was all out on the lathe, and I tell you it does work, live, breath and enjoy your hobby
