General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Finish on a clock

« on: January 12, 2015, 05:20:43 pm »

I guess it depends on the clock but if its a insert type clock you should have no problem installing after applying the finish, just give the finish time to cure.

I do not like the cold and the older I get the less I like it. So I usually fire up the kerosene heater about a 1/2 hr before I start then have a electric heater by my while I am cutting.

Welcome I just made a similar reply to another longtime wood worker . The scroll is a quick fix you can complete a project in a short time but it does take practice but scrap wood and blades are cheap.

Welcome, new at scrolling myself but like you have been working with wood for years. It is nice to be able to complete a project in a day instead of a month and you should have plenty of scrap to practice with. Hardest thing I found is staying in the lines no fences on a scroll saw; its like when you were a kid trying to color a picture and stay in the lines.

The only time you have too many tools is when you run out of places to put them. I have a shop full of power tools use most of them.Only tool I do not have is planer and do not see much need I do not mill limber just work from store stock and can resaw on my band saw. I do have a 4" jointer a old craftsman must be 40 -50 years old but it does work.
I do most type of woodwork mostly as a hobby have been at it for many years the scroll saw is a new addition just getting use to it but it is fun and projects do get done quickly.
Mostly it depends on what you are going to do if only scrolling then you do not need a lot of tools.

I am also new to scrolling but have been working with wood for many years. Like everything in life it takes practice to produce good work in this case the practice is also fun.
