Looks like you got a real good deal. The 14" Jet is a nice saw and it will allow you to resaw. Congrats.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: How to get pattern on wood....

Go back to the home page of this (Steve's) blog. If you click on the Scroll Saw School picture it will take you to some great how-to videos. #0003 is on applying patterns. They are all really good and I recommend watching all of them.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Cutting Padauk
« on: July 09, 2012, 09:34:44 pm »
Ditto on what has been said. I made a tongue drum for my grandkids a couple of years ago and used 3/4 Padauk as the sound board. I used a #5 FD Reverse blade and clear packing tape over the pattern. I used Danish Oil (Natural) and after it dried, spray lacquer and it finished really pretty. It also has a really cool tone when you drum on it.
Cutting and sanding Padauk leaves a really fine orange-red dust that gets on everything. I just throw my sandpaper away afterward it is a real mess. Good ventilation and/or a mask is a must. Padauk is an exotic wood that is really striking when you finish.
Your piece is 1/2 inch so I wouldn't use anything larger than a #3 Reverse blade. Good luck.

Congratulations on your purchase. There is nothing quite as exciting as a new tool. May you have many years of satisfied scrolling.

I have never ordered anything from Klockit. But I have from Wildwood Design and I was very pleased with their products and service.

Most intarsia people that I know use various inflatable drum sanders. You are talking about a good bit of money, perhaps more than you are able to spend right now. The drums are great for large even contours that you get with most intarsia.
I think you would get the most use out of a spindle sander. If it where me I would get the best spindle sander I could afford.

Hi Sean -
I would get the palm sander and the osc. belt sander before the table saw. I would probably buy a miter saw before the table saw, but just my opinion. Whatever you buy always get the best that you can afford and you won't be disappointed.

PS: Remember, If you ask three scrollers their opinion you will get at least four different answers

Hi Judy -
I have never used anything but clear packaging tape. Even though it can be a pain to get off, I haven't had any luck with anything else. The slightest movement ruins my stack cut, since I can never reposition it correctly. I stack cut a lot and have never found anything better.

A great job of scrolling and an even cooler story. I am not brave enough to go down in a mine. Seeing the huge pump would not make me feel any better. Just the opposite.
Thanks for sharing!

I think the key is what Jeff touched on, do you want to be able to resaw? I think you would need at least a 14" to resaw well. I think you always buy the best you can afford and you won't be disappointed. I have a 10" Ryobi bandsaw and it works good for me. All I do is cut off pieces for scrolling or rough outline a pattern.
Jimbo makes a great point, cheap is (can be) dangerous.
