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

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Burl Question?

« on: July 22, 2010, 07:30:23 pm »

Burls or burrs are usually turned wet as there is not a lot of movment in the wood when it is wet, if you want to cut thin strips why don't you cut 2 or 3 off and put them to one side to dry, you can get proper wood sealer for this and I normally coat the whole of the wood, make sure you have space all between each piece of wood when drying, it would dry whith in a couple of months being thin say 1/4", keep it in an airy place, drying it in one solid piece would take a couple of years

Possibly pushing the wood to hard into the blade also not holding your work firmly on the saw bench

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Pattern Instructions

« on: July 21, 2010, 10:49:40 pm »

I bought several pattern books as well as 2 how to scroll saw and they are all vague on there instructions, in fact the last pattern book said don't buy a good saw as the cheap ones do just as good a job, well I can say that is not a fact from experience, the writer of that book had obviously not tried a ryobi
