Negotiations apparently on-going. http://globalnews.ca/news/2811759/canada-post-work-stoppage-union-requests-30-day-cooling-off-period/. Using companies like DHL UPS and FedEx are expensive options.

I put mine altogether then finish by dipping mineral oil, hang to dry for a few days. Glue the spacers to the middle section first so that I can make sure they line up.

Thanks for the morning laugh. I just shared with husband 1.0, updated 34 times, also a tech, and he loved it as well.

Steve,
From your post this morning - "I know there is a lot of information here and I left some things out. If there is interest I can do a video showing the complete process to mill a board to scroll saw ready."
I would be very interested. Thanks for all you do for the community!

You should be able to get the clips at a craft store like Michaels. Try looking at Etsy or Pintrest to get ideas for the barrettes or try Instructables

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try a new blade with more tension. If that doesn't work, the I guess I can go get a new saw 😀

Hi all. This isn't really a scroll saw question/issue, but I know that I will get answers. I recently pulled out my Ryobi bandsaw
so I can cut my thicker material into thinner material. (Took some 3/4" aspen that I used for a bowl and wanted to cut it into 3 thinner
pieces). When I did the cut, using the fence, the material was still not evenly cut. It appears that the blade "bowed". Looking for tips on how to do
this properly. Is it just my cheap band saw, should I be using a thick blade? Help please!!!

You might want to try Sketch-up. I know it was used by ??someone to do the 3d reindeer. It is a free program for basic stuff.
