General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: He has it but it ain't right!

From what I read about scroll saws there are two types that are made the basic end saws use a parallel arm this cause the blade to have a slight movement from to back when its running, the dewalt is a parallel link arm, this setup makes the blade move smooth up down not move front to back and limits the vibration to little if any. Being dewalt its a very well built tool, if I could all my power tools would be dewalt. I am pretty sure they will get you fixed up.

Thats a good idea, I have a hard time keeping up with what blade I used to keep it from being mixed up with new ones. I keep mine laying next to me in order from small to large. I do like that holder you made thats a good deal to have.

lmbo of course we are still here, its just Y2K, some people making money on others fears. I laugh at those that spent millions on bunker rooms and laugh even more at those that gave a person the millions to have a room. I myself think of the world is going to end and is going to be a bad place to be then I much rather go with it then fight to survive. People need to fear what mother nature can do, the wild weather we are having, earthquakes, volcano's or even the astoriods in space that can slam into earth. Not worry about a calender somebody found. Those or what I worry about, global warming even though I have some disagree about that, but we all need to start living better and cleaner or will we all do this world in and will be all our own fault.

My skil that I had did that the blade would move front to back kinda like a hopping action plus it had side to side wiggle. Was hard to get a line started as soon you touched wood the blade would jump back and off line or make the wood vibrate. I over come it somewhat with the way the blade was mounted in the clamps, but with the Dewalt it should be perfect out of the box.

Not a bad deal but shipping on those would be alot being the weight of the saws. You can go to the sears website and the 16 inch craftsman is 101 or in the store its 119.

Yes it did take some work the leaves ends where they are pointed took alot of the time, I cut the extra out then went back in two different directions to get the small points of each leaf to add the detail of a zig zag on the edge of the leaf.

I saw this too, and wasn't impressed just looking at it, for one the arm on side would get in the way, why not just use a jig saw. Or better yet I have a better setup, a Hirsh folding table that you mount a circular saw, router or jig saw under it.

Might have not gotten that spot cleaned well, I have painted wood before and have it do this or bubble off because it had a residual oil or something on it. You should be able to do just that spot, but I would do that whole side or panel so it matches and not just the spots that are bad.

I wondered if that stuff at micheals was baltic birch its cheaper there than at hobby lobby. Might have to get a piece of it to try see how it cuts. This scrolling is addictive if you like wood work, I am loving it, think I found a good hobby I can enjoy and have fun with, if the weather will work with me. Its been cold all day.

Thanks guys it was pain staking working sitting there for so long I would have to stop and get or stand for a bit. The wood I cut it out of is Luan, its pretty cheap about 5 bucks for a 2x2 sheet think its 1/4 it has a dark side and light side. If cut the dark side the lighter side veneer likes to splinter and peel off. So one I get my patter glued down I peel off the lighter veneer sand the back smooth. I am sure you could also flip it over and cut out a lighter pattern, But I like the dark shade plus it shows some lines looks like wood grain and can move the pattern to get the lines to show a certain way.
I would like to do some more better work with some better wood like some baltic birch once I get some.

I cut a cross out for my wife, its about a foot tall, took about 5 1/2 hours to do, I was pleased with how it turned out.
