Here is a youtube clip on making a mineral oil and beeswax finish. Generally I will use one part mineral oil to 3 or 4 parts beeswax. https://www.toymakingplans.com/website/how-to/non-toxic-wood-toy-finish.html

I have seen plans that did not cost anything except paying attention to the demo for some segmentation jigs. Check the youtube as I know that is where I saw them a couple of years ago.

I worked in sales for almost 30 years, always high end, like automobiles, motorhomes, etc. I learned early on never to judge a customer by their dress. In 1984 we had one gentleman come in that was wearing old stained & torn bluejeans, a denim shirt that had seen better days, scruffy boots, and an old army hat. Everyone else ignored him, I started talking to him just passing the time of day. He finally said "I want to buy that truck". That truck was the most expensive on the lot - in those days it was $15,000 or so now it would be in the range of $60,000 or more. Turned out this fella was a fisherman who just got into town and had $20,000 cash to buy a vehicle in an old paperbag he was carrying. Yes, he bought the vehicle, and everyone in the store learned a valuable lesson.

Ah yes, the joys of aging. I often head to the shop, only to get halfway there and get another thought in my head, and forget what I was going to the shop for.

Our scroll saw clubs cuts simple ornaments from 1/8 BBP, and we well them through the local Creative Woodworking CLub store for $1.00 each. Proceeds go back to the scroll saw club to pay our rent where we meet. The ornaments always seem to sell well. Perhaps it is because they are free that people think there is something wrong, or they are rejects.

Welcome to the forum Mark. I am ex Air Force as well. There is a good, knowledgeable group here. Look through some of the old posts and a lot of questions will be answered I am sure. Many here use a Delta 788, you will also find some Hawks, Hegners, and others. I recommend you get the best saw you can afford. It will let you get started and learn what this addiction is all about.
