Thank you very much.  Wonder if it will work well on card stock?  I'll have to give it a try.

If you are cutting cedar please wear a dust mask.  You should be wearing one anyway all the time but especially with toxic woods.  You can use a blade too long as well.  I am cutting some 3/4" birch right now and am using 2 blades per project. Lots of cutting in this project though.

I've never had too good luck with veneer.  it is too brittle.  I prefer 1/32" plywood from wildwood or sloans.

When has a "Credit Card" EVER been Free?!?!?!?!?

When you learn to use it as a square.....ONLY!  I don't even have a credit card that is activated.  Just my debit card.  Why pay them interest to use my money.

I got mine free in the mail!  You can too.

It is called a credit card.  They are perfectly square and free.  I keep it hanging right next to my saw.  Works great!

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Question About Glue

« on: August 08, 2010, 09:18:43 am »

Some woods will not accept glue due to oils.  You did not mention type of wood.
I would tend to think if you are getting the surfaces glued, properly, and clamped securely, and letting it cure long enough.  No matter where you put ti the joint will not fail the wood may crack around it but the glued up joint if done properly will be stronger than the wood itself.

I've heard two schools of thought on glue squeeze out.
Wipe off right a way with a damp sponge or q-tips for tight spots.   However folks who are into nice finishes say no do not wipe it away as it may leave behind residual amounts making it difficult to get a good even stain on your project.  They say wait a few minutes and  scrape it of after it begins to harden or even wait until it is fully cured and then scrape away excess.

I tend to agree with the scraping away rather than the wiping away school of thought.
