Sweet! Excellent choice of woods.

Finished Red Green today. Not a lot of cuts (I counted 100) but a couple of delicate spots. Still needs to be sanded and framed. Uses 4 FD-UR#1 blades. Took about 4 hours. I stacked 2 1/8" plys but the blade seemed pretty aggressive. Hope to make a frame this week.
Thanks for looking.
Thanks for looking.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: dust mask?

Dustin, you have your whole life ahead of you. I'd hate to see your lungs get clogged with sawdust before you hit 30. As with most safety gear, it takes a little getting use to but I find it does not hamper my cutting. Please wear a mask. The dust from the scroll saw is much finer than a band saw or table saw and hangs in the air longer.

Looks terrific! Don't worry about how long it took to make, it's what it looks like when done that counts.

Hey gramps, what works for some don't work for others. You best bet is to try some. If they don't work, just keep trying. I think there are enough options out there that you will eventually find one that works for you. Just like scroll saw blades, everyone is looking for something a little different.

Those are really cool. Hope you attached a business card to the bottom. You may get a few orders.

I bought some a few years ago and threw them away. They were a waste of money. The pads kept coming off even after I glued them on and the grip was only so-so.

Thanks Pete. I usually give them a quick dip in BLO/mineral spirits (50/50) but on these there is no finish. Once sanded they feel great to hold.
Now a question to you, where did you get the 1/32" walnut? Is it solid or ply? Thanks.
