I have never used pinned blades except on the old hand fret saws i used as a kid. Your progressive thinking  and trying will only lead to success and appreciation of this artistic hobby

I appreciate being corrected especially the Gwinnett Woodworking site. My Dewalt doesn't have that problem ( once I adjusted the linkage rod connecting the adjusting lever with the slide mechanism on the adjuster) but I have another brand of saw where pushing downward pressure on the upper linkage does . This saw is brand new and I got this tip from Scrollsaw Village

Cheers

Nice of you to share your work.

I keep my scraps in a five gallon pail and filling my fourth pail as we speak . have one more empty pail to go then it is descision time. Which pail for the fire place but right now the fireplace is full and waiting for a cool evening when a fire would be nice.

try to put downward pressure on the top blade clamp to remove linkage slack before tightening the bottom clamp  or maybe internal adjustment is needed. Info can be found on this adjustment on the Ginnell woodworker club site i believe

my first saw was a Dremal 20 plus years ago, 16 inch throat fixed arm and tried to learn on my own and my success was limited. I found this site ( Scroll Saw Workshop) and the helpful info increased my enjoyment,  leading me to an old Dewalt 788 with an arm that would raise up to allow easier blade insertions into entry holes and the tilting table increased the scope of my productions and eventually into craft sales. Year and a half ago I bought a brand new Seyco , another step up in quality machines. I spend many hours a day cutting, searching for patterns being creative. If you enjoy the hobby it won't be long until a saw upgrade will happen

I have use all items that toneman used all , but do mostly over size the pieces, apply a drop of gorilla clear quick dry glue on corners and a every 3 for inches and clap together. does not take much to hold them together
