General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Question about stack cutting

A lot of times if I am stack cutting I will use some nails to help hold it to. If you have a "waste" area where you won't cut, put a nail or two in it. Just don't have it protruding out the bottom or it will scratch the table.

I will try the nails and see if that helps

You can use two sided tape, I typically don't, I just tape the four sides like you did. I'm thinking you might have mistakenly installed the blade upside down, that will cause a lot of jumping. Something to check anyway.

I am using Flying Dutchman #1 FD-UR and am putting the indented end on top I think that is right

General Scroll Saw Talk / Question about stack cutting

« on: November 28, 2013, 06:05:53 pm »

This is my first attempt at stack cutting. I am cutting three 1/8" Baltic Birch. The plywood seems to jumping or vibrating a lot while cutting. I taped all four edges real good to keep them from slipping, but was wondering if I should have used 2 sided tape in between the three pieces?

Any advice and help would be appreciated.

I did Steve's "Lord's Supper" and I used a #2, 20/14 blade and I only used one blade and it really didn't take that long.  What kind of wood are you using.

I am using cedar planed to 1/2"

i never done Steve's pattern.but i did this one http://stevedgood.com/community/gallery/1749_20_11_13_6_34_33.jpegwhat size are you doning it and if your using spirals you shouldn't have any problems doing all the cuts.

Thanks for the reply Newfie That is a beautiful piece you did. Mine is not quite that detailed.
I have thot about trying the spiral blades but really haven't needed them until now.
I will give them a try.

General Scroll Saw Talk / The Lord's Supper Pattern

« on: November 20, 2013, 05:42:36 pm »

I decided to try Steve's pattern for the Lord's Supper. I thought I might make 3 of them for my sisters for Christmas. After 2 hours and countless blade changes from one hole to another I got one Disciple done. WOW! what a pattern. Now I am thinking might be able to get 3 of them done by next Christmas!   

So far I have done alright but was wondering if anyone else has done this pattern and about how many hours it will take?

Also I have a Craftsman 16" saw and I am not sure that I will be able to make all the cuts with it.
  Any advice and info would sure be appreciated.

Thanks,
George

You're quite correct Arkiewood, Baltic Birch it is. Hope you have a good time cutting Steve's pattern.
Rob Roy.

thank you Rob I am going to order my plywood from Sloan's. I have read several threads on here where that is a good place to buy from

I want to make some Christmas presents with Steve's hummingbird pattern. It says use 1/8" for the pattern and 1/2' backer board.

I have never used anything that thin. What do I need to use for this?
I think Baltic Birch plywood?

What do you all recommend?

Thanks,
George

Is 4 layers of 1/4 in Birch too much to cut at one time?

I am trying to build picture frames for my projects. I bought the Bessy strap clamp today and it doesn't work worth a hoot for me. I would appreciate input on what kind you use and how you like them.
Thanks
