Good blades and great service, you just can't beat that.  I recently tried some Pegas blades and I have used Olson blades in the past.  They are both good blades but I like the FD blades the best.

I really like what you have done Bob.  I vote "no" base.  It is such an iconic image that it is not missing anything.  A wider base along the lines suggested by Dan and Katie might give it more balance.  But I think it looks great as is.

I saw the article in SSWC.  It seemed like it would take a lot of sanding.  DW you did a great job on it.  It is one of those projects that really catch your eye.  I am looking forward to more info.  Thanks DW for letting us see the finished piece.

You are way too modest Bob.  I think you captured the face of this little guy.  I am sure the Grandma was thrilled.  Good job!

Wow, that is a really nice piece.  I like all your wood choices.  I particular like the purpleheart accent stripe in the frame.  Great job.

The apple didn't fall far from the tree.   You are rightfully proud.  Sharing a love for creating with wood, with our children and grandchildren, is what it is all about.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Can U recommend a good power planer?

« on: May 11, 2012, 12:15:59 am »

The Dewalt 13" is the 735X.  It does have two speeds a regular and a finish.  I think it is about the best for the money.  (My opinion only  To get anything better, as the others have said, you would need to move up to a floor model with helical cutters.

One thing I really like about that particular Dewalt is the dust extraction.  That model has a built in blower which gets rid of a lot of wood shavings.  I have a friend who has his close to a wall.  He puts a hose from the planer to a hole cut in the wall.  It is only a couple of feet but the blower is strong enough to get rid of a lot of shavings.

Woodcraft has that Model for $650.  It comes with three additional blades.

I have the DW 788 and could not be happier with it.  That said, one day I plan to move up to the Excalibur.
 
I hope you enjoy your new saw.  I think you will be amazed at what a good saw will do for your scrolling enjoyment. 

Good luck,
