General Scroll Saw Talk / Printing portrait patterns

« on: April 14, 2011, 12:01:14 am »

I was thinking about doing a portrait pattern and wondered how to print it if it is larger than 8.5x11''.
Will the printer print it in two pages?
Also are most patterns larger than that size?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Lemon oil

« on: April 05, 2011, 12:47:23 pm »

I did a small project and dipped it in lemon oil for a few minutes and removed the excess oil.
Wondered how long to leave it to dry before I put a clear spray finnish on it.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Crown tooth blades

The sawdust is on the top. I used a brush yesterday to remove the dust as I was cutting. (Not fun)
I will try other blades as dgman said and cut down on the tape for next time.
I did smooth out the tape but only with my thumb and not with a plastic putty knife etc.
Thanks Jim

General Scroll Saw Talk / Crown tooth blades

« on: March 29, 2011, 01:27:33 pm »

Im using the No. 2 crown tooth blade 20TPI on 1/4" walnut with two layers each way of packing tape= 4 layers.
Is this too much tape and
I cant see my cutting line because the sawdust covers my line even with the blower that works.
Should I use a different type of blade?

I have been scrolling on and off for about ten years.
I have made some of Steve?s key chains, an Intarsia and Sheila Bergner ?Landry?s butterfly fretwork shelf.
I?m looking forward to learn more about scrolling from this Blog.
