General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: How do I copy free fonts to my pc

I wish I could help.  There are lots of folks who don't know much about computers....I am one who doesn't even suspect anything.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: What kind of scroll saw do you own?

Ditto to Janet's post.... however one day I would sure like to own an Excalibur (sp?)  If I went out and brought one of those home there could be some trouble in paradise

When I make Steve's little clown that "walks" down the ladder it has a number of dowels that I round over.  I use my disc sander and just round them by slowly spinning them around.  You could also just put a piece of sand paper flat on your bench and sand them by hand.  Neither of these will give you the consistent look that a router will, as Chief mentioned, but they look good enough for government work    Depending on your project and the size of the dowels used you can get them looking pretty good with a little effort and it won't cost much.

It happened to me just tonight as I was cutting a 1/4 oak fret work basket.  I didn't drop it but I was a little too aggressive clamping after gluing (sp?).
Super glue is the best thing I have found but sometimes you just have to start over

David -

It is odd you should ask about walnut oil.  I bought some from Woodcraft  awhile back, and as Dgman said it is quite expensive.  It looks nice on everything and gives a warm golden (slight) tint.  I completed a fretwork card basket tonight out of 1/4 oak.  I used the Walnut Oil, because it was at hand, and it turned out nice.  It takes a long time to dry and sunlight really helps the drying process.  Whatever you use it on will look nice, but it ain't cheap

Well said Sheila.  Personally, I did not have anyone to learn from and Steve's site and videos got me started in scrolling.  I was looking for a hobby that was affordable and relatively safe.  With this SW Community site, I get to learn from a whole new group of scrollers.  Good post Sheila and if you are reading this well done Steve.

Nice work, there will never be another Barney Fife.  I have watched the Andy Griffith shows so much I can just about quote what they are about to say.  I never get tired of watching them and Barney was the best of the best.

That is a good price.  I paid $50.00 more for the same set up two years ago at Woodcraft.  Anyone looking for a good saw will not be disappointed with the Dewalt.
