General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: NEED ADVICE ON BUYING A SCROLL SAW!!

The Dewalt 788 is a great saw however so is the Delta. Personally I like the Dewalt slightly better. While both have good features to them for me the fact that Dewalt has a Guaranteed Repair Price program should you ever need to have your saw repaired. Either way you will notice a HUGE difference from the Craftsman to your new saw.

Something like that would be of interest to a lighthouse collector. I do not know about in your area but here in the states there are lighthouse enthusiasts that love lighthouses and the histories of them. Something like that would tickle their fancy I am sure.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Help me with Finishes
« on: January 04, 2015, 07:35:50 pm »I am experimenting with Minwax clear aerosol Lacquer clear gloss on 1/2 inch plywood. I also used 3/4 in pine. I put 3 coats on it and it had a gloss to it ( like lightly polished oak furniture) but not real shiny. My husband says it looks good to him. I think I just have to get use to it. The polyurethane was very shiny but had too many air bubbles and took too long to dry in the cool outside temperatures so that is why I am looking for an alternative. I also like the spray nozzle on the lacquer can and it had a nice fine spray; not like the poly that came out like spray paint.
One of the things I have done in the past is I made a large ( 2 foot Square ) window box in my garage and then used a pair of 500W halogen lights shining through the glass. Inside the box the temperature would hover around 65 F even if it was sub zero. I would spray my projects and put them in there to cure.

« on: January 04, 2015, 03:25:14 am »Thanks Jr. I used to use Polyurethane (brush on). I just bought a can of Miniwax spray Lacquer finish. I used it on a project and it wasn't' as shiny as the Ployurethane. I think I was just use to the glossy look. But the Lacquer wasn't bad. It had more of a wood furniture look. I guess I will just have to play around until I find my look. But the Lacquor does dry a heck of a lot faster. lol I think I may stick with that for a while. :-)
With lacquer you HAVE to use good ventilation. The lacquer thinner is very volatile and will fill a room quickly with vapors and is also very flammable. When I was in the service we accidently blew out all of the windows in our shop with just a small amount of lacquer thinner. Had about an 1 1/2 inches in the bottom of a cut off coke can and the heater kicked on that was the last time we used it with out fans and the windows open.
Anyway just a friendly warning about it.DW
