General Scroll Saw Talk / Question about blades

« on: April 03, 2019, 12:32:52 pm »

I have been using Pegas and have best results with #3 and #5 modified geomety blades.  I want to try some other brands but the other manufacturers use different names.  How do I sort this all out?  Btw, I ocasionally us BB plywood but mostly use hardwoods like sycamore, walnut, flame alder,  maple, hackberry, hickory, butternut  and sassafrass along with other local woods in thicknessess usually a half inch or thinner.

Thanks Judy, as for the name.  Years ago I was out in my shop when ny daughter had frieds over and they asked where her dad was. She answered, "Where he usally is, lost in the woods."  She was in elementary school at the time and it stuck.  She went on to graduate from the University of Alabama with a minor in creative writing.

Retired now.  I have been a carpenter for many years and a woodworker just as long but a scrollsawer only a few months.  I would like to think if my high school woodshop teacher was  still alive to see my work now he would be amazed.  That said, I am not nearly as talented or proficient at scroll sawing as most of those here but it certainly does not stop me.
