General Scroll Saw Talk / New scrolling problem for me.

« Last post by dsrussell@comcast.net on January 27, 2024, 08:02:29 am »

I have been scrolling for several years and dearly love the hobby. I have recently developed a problem that I can't figure out what is causing it. While cutting on thicker wood, 1 1/2", mainly numbers or letters, the piece will not fall thru from either side. I have insured that the table is 90⁰ to the blade. I feel sure that it has something to do with force, but I make a conscious effort not to force the cut but the piece will not easily come out in either direction! Using flying Dutchman #5 SR blade. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Greetings! I'm Joe Wolfe and I have been scrolling off and on since around 1995. After retiring in 2012 I have gotten more serious about the craft and thoroughly enjoy it. I am always looking to learn something new and challenge myself to get better at scrolling. I look to build on scrolling by adding intarsia to the projects I wish to make.
Two years ago I upgraded to a Seyco ST-21 after literally wearing out two entry level scroll saws. It has been a game changer for me.
My thanks to Steve for starting this forum and for all he does to promote this art form. He is a wealth of knowledge and has made me a better scroller through his blog and YouTube videos. I am here to learn. I am also willing to help any newcomers to scrolling if I am able. Feel free to reach out to me. Happy Scrolling!!

Purchased an entry level scroll saw at the beginning of the year. Practiced enough with it that I was comfortable making Christmas presents with it. I am really enjoying this hobby and will probably be looking to upgrade to a different saw in the upcoming year.

Intarsia / Creating the white coloring on an interstate pice

« Last post by keithmq on November 26, 2023, 09:19:55 am »

I have just started to dabble in intarsia. I find in both fascinating and beautiful. There are several patterns I have looked at that I would really like to try. I really enjoy Christmas and have a tendency to lean toward those patterns. Several I have looked at are ones with a Santa. The all have white beards. What do people use to achieve a white beard. I prefer to keep as much of the wood its natural color but it appears these pieces have been painted. From the examples the white seems to be somewhat muted but looks so natural with the other wood pieces. And help would be really appreciated

I'm now looking for a scroll pattern for a Lockheed Constellation. I've found models, but no scroll patterns. An uncle flew one in Vietnam and my aunt was a stewardess for TWA in the 60s on those birds. It would make a nice Christmas gift for them if I can find a good pattern; the more detailed the better, of course!
any suggestions? thanks!

It sounds like the switch has intermittent issues,
Have you tried using a foot pedal to control the on off function.
Just a suggestion to try.
I have never had this issue, But I use a foot pedal to control the on/off function, Not the arm switch
