General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Danish Oil

There's a difference in lemon oil and danish oil.  Most of the danish oils have a small amount of resin in them.  Think very thin varnish.  They actually form a thin film finish.

I rarely need heat in my Florida shop, but when it is a must, I plug in my 2- 5000 watt worklamps and that's all I need!

Interesting that shellac prices right now are soaring.  They are predicted to go up like a rocket due to a drastic drop in the harvest of the lac from the lac beetle for the past couple of years.  Rockler recently announced that they will no longer be carrying the packages of shellac flakes which have been popular for years and it is assumed it is due to availability.  I am sure the Zinser products will still be available though.

It has an odor, but to me it isn't strong.  Remember that the solvent in shellac is denatured alcohol rather than mineral spirits, so it isn't as bad.

Years ago RBI had a reputation as one of the best.  Then things got tight.  Finally Mother Nature finished them off.  Now Bushton Manufacturing bought them out and has begun producing them again.  They seem to be proceeding slowly, but I am hoping that they continue to develop the line, improve it, and return RBI to the top of the list for American Made scroll saws.  I have had 2 RBI's along with an assortment of lesser quality saws and for me, with the possible exception of the fact that you cannot top feed effectively, there isn't much to improve on.

I am thinking it could be done if you slowed the saw down a lot so as not to melt the vinyl.

I picked up a copy of the latest edition of Scrollsaw magazine recently and noticed that Bushton is advertising the RBI Hawk scroll saws again.  I sure hope they promote them back into the prominence they once had.  My first good saw was like the one being sold here and I'd still have it if I didn't find a heck of a deal on a 26" model!
