Thanks for the information and help.  I guess I will give it a try to see how it works for me.

On a 1/2 thick MDF board, what blade would work best?

Thanks Again ~ Rich

I would like to try using MDF board for some Christmas Scroll Saw projects.

Suggestions as to use and Yes/No as to it being a good material to use?

Thanks ~ Rich

Fine looking project.
I would probably cut a backer out of a darker wood (or wood stained darker than the Baltic birch) and
leave the original cutting as is. You could glue it to a square piece as shown in your original post of
cut the backer round. If cut round, I would probably make the circle about 1/4" to 1.2" larger than the
over-lay.
Of course, this is just MY suggestion. Different people have different tastes.
You did a fine job. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS AND HELP!

Ask Steve a question. / Plywood Tearout?

« on: September 24, 2019, 06:13:37 am »

My 1st scroll saw project was the USCG Veteran logo.
I make it from 12” x 12”, 1/8” thick premium baltic birch plywood.
I used blue painters tape on the front and glued my pattern to the top over the tape.
The top looks good after cutting but I had a lot of tear out on the back.

Being a very new scroll saw user, before I
start on my 2019 Christmas name ornaments here is my question:

Is their anything that I can do to have less tear out on my plywood?

Thanks ~ RBohlman

I finished cutting out my 1st scroll saw project this afternoon.

It is a USCG Veteran logo.  Not sure if it should be stained, painted, or ?.   

Suggestions please!

Some recent photos of my work with my new WEN scroll saw on my model of HMS Winchelsea, a 1764 sailing vessel.

The model is appx. three (3) foot long.

As a Coast Guard Veteran and a past GunnersMate 1st Class, I am looking for scroll saw USCG patterns.

I have Steve Goods CG pattern, so I'm looking for others.

Thanks ~ Rich

I purchased a new WEN scroll saw last week to help me work on a new wooden ship model I am building.



I have a small wood working shop in my garage and have completed a number of projects over the years.
Looking forward to learning more about my new scroll saw!
