« Last post by woodcutter on February 11, 2024, 02:36:58 pm »
I put in inkscape a drawing of a bird wing for whirligigs.  I used the Bezier tool first,  then Right click on the line of the  image. A box appears around the image. I  Click Duplicate and try to move the image below the first image and  the whole page moves downward. Don't know what i'm doing wrong. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in Advance

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: New scrolling problem for me.
« Last post by ddockstader on January 27, 2024, 03:17:00 pm »
Most likely culprit - sideways force. Inadvertently pushing the wood to the side, usually while making a turn. This bows the blade since both the top and the bottom are held in a straight line. Once you get a piece out, check that the sides are really straight with a good straight edge. This is my biggest problem with the scroll saw and I am constantly fighting it. I've taken to completely releasing the wood every 5 seconds or so to make sure I'm not pushing one side or the other. Unfortunately I don't have the automatic indicator that my wife and kids have - sticking my tongue out when I'm concentrating too hard. :)

Are you using a different wood?Some woods create dust differently? Or is the wood Bone dry? The slightest bit of moisture can cause swelling just from
the blade movement.  Just my thoughts  ;D

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?

Introduce Yourself. / Re: Welcome

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.
