General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Lightly Used EX-21 For Sale...should I buy?

« on: May 05, 2010, 04:24:07 pm »

I agree you have to be careful with anything used someone is selling. My only suggestion would be is to negotiate the price down for lack of a warranty. That way you wouldn't lose money if in needs repair in the near future.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Is there such a thing as woodworkers block?

« on: May 05, 2010, 09:19:18 am »

Oh yes. Been there, done that. I usually clean the shop or do tool maintence. And on occasion put a dent in the honey do list to stay out of the dog house. Of course my dog house is my wood shop so it would be like Brer Rabbit, please, please Brer Fox, don't fling me in dat dar brier-patch. LOL

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Help with my different blades

« on: May 04, 2010, 04:24:12 am »

Janet,

Blade Type                                             
Iron Man ---Top Quality (Metal Blade)
New Spiral ---A newly designed spiral blade, easy to control and long lasting.
Ultra Reverse ---Top-grade high-speed fretsaw,  with reverse teeth. Splinter-  free finish on top and bottom surfaces.
Penguin Silver Reverse ---Top-grade wood-cutting fretsaw with double teeth, hardened steel.
Reverse ---Top-grade high-speed fretsaw, hardened, with reverse teeth.
Splinter-free finish on top and bottom surfaces.
Two Way Cut ---Top quality saw blades for wood with alternating 
2 down and 1 up tooth placement
Scroll Reverse ---Top-grade high-speed fretsaw, hardened, with reverse teeth.
Splinter-free finish on top and bottom surfaces.
Polar ---Extra hard, longlasting, skip-tooth blades for wood, horn and various plastics.

For most of my work I am using the new Ultra Reverse..
It would be a good idea to talk to Mike before ordering blades, so you don't end up with blades you may never use.

I wanted to make a pattern for the novice scrollers that was simple yet elegant.
I hope I achieved it in this picture. Anyone wanting the pattern can e-mail me. I tried to upload it but it was to big, even after I zipped the file. For future reference I am working on a website to show my work and will post patterns I make there.  
PS:  The pattern I will e-mail is in .pdf form ready to print.
