Yes, I have a table saw. I think I messed up because I didn't cut the board to size before starting my cuts. I'm about 100 cuts into the portrait. I'll have to carefully cut it after I'm done I guess.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Portrait help

I am cutting my first portrait and it's going pretty well. I am using 1/8 BB stacked 3 deep on 8 1/2 x 11 boards. The pattern is 6 3/4 x 8 1/2. I am 1/2 way through the portrait.
I have a few questions:
Do I need to cut the boards down to 8x10 for framing? Or is that even possible?
Do I glue the backer board to the portrait? I'm using 1/8 BB.
Should I use glass in front?
How do you cut grooves in the frame to accommodate all?
What's the best way to finish the BB and what backer should I use?
I've never done a portrait and want to do a good job. It's a portrait of an 18 year
old boy that died in a car wreck. His parents are friends of ours. Charlie Dearing made the pattern for me.
Thanks for help in advance,
Chris

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Scroll saw dust collection
« on: January 22, 2012, 06:06:51 pm »
Note to self: don't cut puzzles and push the puzzle pieces toward the dust collector mounted to the table top. By the way, my dust collector doesn't have a chip catcher on the side so a puzzle piece got caught in the collector fan. Unfortunately I can't use it cause it's mangled too bad.
I guess I need to install a chip catcher between the saw and the collector. Any ideas on how to do this?

Dgman, that looks good. I think that will work! Thank you, and by the way do you still have your dust collection attached to your saw? I didnt see it in these pics. I built the same system and it works great.

I just bought a Delta (Dewalt clone) saw. The light does not have a magnet on it. It's from Woodcraft:
60 LED Magnifying Lamp; 5" Dia.; 1.75X

I have a 60 led light with magnifying glass from Woodcraft. Where and how do you guys mount it?
