Also, make sure you're not too far away. I've found that if you spray from too far away it seems like the droplets dry a little on the way down and it appears bumpy.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: A discovery I've Made...
« on: December 15, 2012, 09:16:11 pm »
I'm also a bottom feeder. If I'm doing a bunch of smaller holes, after drilling, I flip it over, sand, and then use a pointed awl to push all the holes in a little. If the holes are really tiny, I sharpen a point on the end of the blade, makes for easy entry. I also have a dedicated small LED light that shines accross the scroll saw table from the side, so I can see whats going on under there.

You're doing quite well, and as others have pointed out, you are tour own worst critic. A couple months ago I did a portrait of "The Beatles" (stacked three high) and as I was 98% done, one small slip of the spiral, and Pauls' jaw fell out. I almost threw them across the room. I continued on to finish them since I'd gone so far..... Sold all three, nobody knew.

Here's my take on Sheila Landry's self framing Santa, got the idea for the green stain from Keefie. Thanks!
Did the perimeter cut with regular blades, 99% of the rest was done with spirals.

Have you seen the guitar in Steves pattern catalog? It's not a compound cut but it may work for you. It's filed under "Miscellaneous".

Nice job with the spirals, after you get more practice and confidence, it will be your blade of choice for some applications.

Becky, on the DVR, if you have it set to record something, it will turn itself on at the correct time to make the recording. You can turn it off.
