General Scroll Saw Talk / DeWalt boat anchor
« on: July 18, 2014, 03:44:04 pm »
The front to back blade movement on the DeWalt saw i bought makes it impossible to cut any fine scroll work I think ill take up fishing and buy a boat i already have an anchor. I will never buy anything with that name on it again. No help from them they claim nothing can be done

General Scroll Saw Talk / Donation
« on: February 04, 2013, 05:22:05 am »
Since I have been scrolling the last two years I have given most of my work away to friends and neighbors. when someone comes over and says I like that I tell them its yours. I scroll for my pleasure. I also get many requests that I do for free. I have decided to ask for a five dollar donation for each project half for supplies and the other half I will save and donate to Steve for the pattern to show my apprecation.Without this site Steve and all the great people here I would not be enjoying this hobby.

I made Steve's pattern luminary the one with a flower and night light inside it came out great. [Thanks Steve] Does anyone know where I can get some praying hands to put on the front instead of the flower? I am assuming its ok to modify the pattern its for a friend of mine. Tom

Has anyone bought a DeWalt scroll saw from CPO and were you satisfied with them they seem to have the best price for a 788 at 550.00 with stand and light.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Delta saw at Woodcraft
« on: February 04, 2012, 06:55:13 pm »
Went to the local Woodcraft store today the sale of the Delta saw started at 9 am on the 28th and they sold all seven they had in two hours. I guess my old trusty Craftsman will have to last a little longer. I will keep an eye on Craigslist.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Portrait cutting
« on: January 16, 2012, 06:50:22 pm »
I have learned a lot from this family in the last eight months. Last week I finished the Effiel Tower from plans from Wildwood and will post a pic as soon as I figure out how. Today I tried to cut the big cat from Steve's catalog and failed miserably. I stacked three 1/8 bb and used a #3 FD SR blade. What is a good way to cut portraits? Thank you for any help you can give me
