Thanks for all the kind comments. It was not cut at an angle although it looks like it was, must be the camera angle. The top & bottom are 1/4" and the middle is 3/4". I have done some angle cutting for inlays, but not on a bowl...yet. I have several planned. Still a newby too.

You need to have alot of patience when cutting thick pieces. I recently made some corner brackets from 3/4" oak and each cut took over half an hour. Don't push it. Relax. Enjoy the solitude.

I use it, but only on top. Blue painters tape, pattern, clear packing tape. Peels right up with the blue tape.

Walnut top & bottom, oak in the middle. Pattern is loosely based on one in SS W & C "BOXES AND BOWLS" book. About 6" X 4". Finished with 3 coats of Salad Bowl Finish (food safe). It is a small gift for my sister in law, who hosts the Thanksgiving dinner for 16-18 people every year.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: dust collector vs shop vac
« on: October 24, 2012, 09:50:26 pm »
I'm with budprine, I have a shopvac in the next room. Goes up through the drop ceiling into another room. I have a cordless remote to turn it on from the saw. I have it connected to the saw (top and bottom) and the drill press. Works realy good.

Thanks to you all for the ideas.
Keefie, I do have a mask very similar to yours, it protects me but the fumes are still in the house.
Stratavides, unfortunately in about a month, my basement windows will be packed from the outside with snow drifts making them inoperable LOL.
GB, I have to keep my cars in the garage or they won?t start when it?s 30 below zero.
Jscott2, you may be on to something here. After reading your post I did a little checking online, and found it?s quite easy to build a little spray box with a fan motor on it and vent it outside, much like a clothes dryer. Wife says it would be OK to put the vent cover on the back of the house behind a bush.
Thanks, Pete

Very nice, I also like the colors.
Am I getting this correct? You added the walnut corners before you you made the center cuts?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Spray Fumes
« on: October 19, 2012, 03:03:25 pm »
I have a question about fumes. My work area is in my basement, so when I spray adhesive, lacquer, shellac or whatever, what I do is spray quick and run upstairs, to return when the smell goes away. I do have a little spray box set up with a fan (see picture) which works pretty good at removing the overspray and particles in the air. But it does not remove the fumes. You may think I should go outside to spray, but here in Minnesota it?s below freezing and snowing out there half of the year (seems like). I use the spray adhesive for pattern application, and the spray finishes are so much easier than trying to brush something on. Any help with alternate products or any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks, Pete
