Pattern Requests. / Steve Goods Infinity Love pattern
« on: January 15, 2021, 09:55:28 pm »
I am not looking for the pattern but rather the name of the font he used. I want to change the word "love" to my daughter and son in laws names but after spending several hours searching fonts I still cant find the one he used. Does anyone know what the name of this font is?

thank you  I didn't think it would be a copyright problem because I didn't intend to sell it. I didn't mean to ask for something illegal. I never thought of coloring book pages thank you Don

Hello   I am looking for a pattern of Calvin and Hobbes and I am not having much luck. Has anyone seen one or know where I could get one? I would like to make this for my sons birthday. He loves this comic strip and has all the books.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: question regarding the signature coins

thanks for letting me know those look very nice. I went ahead and placed an order using the wording I wanted and Steve sent me an invoice so I think he must have been able to make them. I know he only ships to the united states so I had my order shipped there.  The MN. border is just about an hour from where I live. Its nice to know someone in Canada does them as well. It would be easier getting them  shipped to my home address.

Hi is there a maximum number of letters you can use when making the custom signature coins? I am interested in ordering some.

General Scroll Saw Talk / aquarium air blower adapted for a saw
« on: January 10, 2019, 01:14:08 pm »
I have been reading that a lot of people are using aquarium air pumps as a blower for their saw. I do not have a very good blower on my saw and would love to see pictures or instructions on how people hook up aquarium air pumps to their saws. I have lots of aquarium air pumps laying around I just can't picture how to hook them up. I would think they would vibrate and make a lot of noise. Does anyone have any pictures they are willing to share?

General Scroll Saw Talk / What do you seal pine with?
« on: January 03, 2019, 11:57:31 am »
Hi I have another newbie question. Last week I made a puzzle out of pine (the instructions said to cut it out of 3/4 " pine using a #5 blade and seal it before painting). It cut out well and fit together properly. Then I went to home depot, and Lowes, and a couple of wood stores in my area and asked about a sealer I could paint over. No one had any idea what to use. Finally one person said I should use primer on it as that was a sealer and then I could paint over it. I put the primer on it and the pieces  seemed to swell or something because it no longer fits together. I tried lightly sanding but that didn't work. Sooooo my question is what exactly do I seal wood with that I am going to paint over?

thank you everyone for your help. I adjusted the blade holder on the top part of the saw and got the blade so that it cut the same depth at the top as at the bottom of a test piece of wood. This seems to have helped a lot. I think I was also using dull blades as I got a much better cut when I inserted new blades. They certainly seem to go dull fast but that again is likely something I am doing wrong.

Tbolt how do you ensure its straight up and down? Do you push the blades in as far as they will go in both the top and bottom clamps. Sorry if this is a rather obvious question I am very new to woodworking of any kind.

I dont know if it has a setting for that but interestingly enough when I make a cut to test if the table is level I have noticed that the top of the cut is much deeper than at the bottom. I have a king Canada scroll saw and can find nothing in the owners manual that refers to this.  When the blades are inserted there seems to be a fair bit of space to put the blade in . What I mean is that I can put the blade in more to the front or farther back in the clamps. I am not really sure where in the clamps it's supposed to go so I suppose it's possible I have the blade inserted farther into the clamp at the bottom than the top or vice versa.

I am starting to make some puzzles and I am having a lot of difficulty getting everything set up properly so the pieces will slide in and out from both the front and back. I have watched several you tube videos and tried the little test where you cut a piece of wood and then see if the blade can slide in from the back. Mine does this but still my puzzle pieces will only slide in from the front. I dont know what else to adjust. I have noticed when I made the test cut in the wood to see if the blade is perpendicular that the cut is always a lot deeper on the top. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it please?
