@Roy You'res like a brother! We can beat you up all day but no one else better lay a hand on him.
@Gabby There is another "44 " out there that makes a lot of noise, and has bad aim too. It ain't shiny and it scares me a lot more than your 44

King I am sure she will like that rack My wife is an x-quilter. We have quilts running our of our ears. She still has some to put together but most of her time is spent spinning yarn and knitting. Although she has now taken up wood burning. She has an area in the back room set up for bruning. Her birthday is next week and I got her a really nice double pen wood burnning kit. Let us see the finished quilt rack.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: blade chart update
« on: January 26, 2013, 07:29:31 pm »
I started off using the blades that came with my Porter Cable Scroll saw. BADDDDDD I Got some from Lowes that winter when they were changing to a different brand. I got some Dremel, Skil and Vermont American ( including some spirals) for $1.00 a dozen on sale. I was in heaven. The were so much better that the PC blades. ( Plus I was out of them by that time) Several weeks later I teamed up with two friends and we made a trip to Woodcraft It is 80 miles one way for me. I wanted so GOOD scrollsaw blades and I got some Olsen because that is what they sell. Once again I thought i had died and gone to heaven as the Olsen blades were far superior to the ones I was using. I used them a while and one of my friends gave me two blades one day and told me to try them. He told me what kind they were but I didn't remember. I tried them and once again Heaven bound! I called and got the name of the blades and my friend even told me where to get them. Been with Mike and Flying Dutchman ever since.
OH a foot note: I did find Olesn blades at a local ( at least to me at the time) hardware store The price was $8.99 a dozen. Shook my head and walke away
Footnote 2 I still have most of the blades I got from Lowes

Honestly those charts do not do a lot for me. The chart I use is experience. In many situations I can use one, two , or three different blades and achieve th same results. In my opinion, the charts are for very very very general use. For someone very new, it might be a place to start.
@ Dan What do you tell your students abut blade choice?

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Re: Remembering what blade is mounted
« on: January 26, 2013, 01:17:03 pm »
All of my blades are in tubes. I keep the most used tubes in a margarine tub screwed to the left hand side of my stand. On the right hand side of the stand I drilled a 13/16 hole. The tube of the mounted blade goes in the hole.
