Hi Raptor 66, I am fairly new to scrolling and to this site, although I tend to do more on http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/ over here.
You have not indicated in your profile where you are located, which is helpful to others to know. If you are in the UK, I would be interested in your FD Ultra Reverse blades?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: EX-21 question
« on: March 19, 2016, 04:10:43 am »
The guards are good for people new to scrolling, as they need to get used to how things work, particularly with the 'hold-down'. When they then feel confident that they can handle the ups and downs of their work without difficulty, thyen the guards could be removed.
I have not done a lot of scrolling, in fact I have only been woodworking for a couple of years since retiring 5 years ago, however, I have just changed my scrollsaw and bought a new Ex16 and removed the lower guard, which requires the rable being taken off to get at the screws, but not a problem.

Hi Crusty59, that's lovely work. I do wish that the software of this site allowed for the photos to be enlarged as sometimes the photos do not give justice to a work such as this. Kep going and I have hope to get to youir standards if I can.

HI Hawkdave, thanks for the reply. I started the boxes only a couple of years ago, having moved on from photography in a serious way and selling some lenses gave me the money to buy woodworking gear.
One of the inspirations for the boxes was from someone over there, Dave Watkins, who is a real master at the job. You can see his work on http://www.designer-woods.com/ The hidden drawers are very popular with buyers. The Men's Shed is a great idea and there are several started up over here, but not sure how active they are. Bandsaw boxes can be done on the scrollsaw, but may be a little smaller in depth, just needs a little aplication and ideas. Good luch with that.

Hi Jim,
I have not done much scrolling, but do want to try Intarsia. There are a few really good Intarsia scrollers over her and if I can replicate their work I will be a happy bunny. Nothing but time and having already reached 75, a new challenge is just what I want. I will still keep going on the bandsaw boxes, as they are fun also.

Hi, I'm Malcolm, retired and enjoying my woodworking which I have been doing for a couple of years. I have mainly been making bandsaw boxes, but would now like to add some Intarsia / Segmentation if possible as |I feel this would be a good challenge.
Just updated my scrollsaw to a newly launched Axminster Trade Ex16 and looking forward to doing more with that. Live near Birmingham in the UK.
So far, some of my work is on http://www.badgerwoodcrafters.co.uk
Looking to learn a lot from you all.

Intarsia / Re: White for intarsia
« on: March 14, 2016, 02:01:11 pm »
Is there a good supplier of the various coloured woods or is it a case of 'see what you can find' sort of thing. With segmentation being more popular, I would have thought that a good supplier should get plenty of business?

« on: March 14, 2016, 01:57:29 pm »
I do wish I could get a better view of images. The + only allows a very small difference and when I click on them, they show up sideways, so it's rather awkward. Is anyone else having problems I wonder?

Can't get over how quickly you are with turning these out Brian. It doesn't seem that long ago that you were talking about doing this and it's superb.
