@ claymore Do you have a favourite supplier for the Pegas blades. I have only used woodworkscraftsupplies for my Olson blades and they don't stock Pegas ? take care Don W

Hi Brian, Thanks for the tip, I intend to paint with Acrylic and varnish it. There is no figure in this piece of Maple, it's just bland. I have only used Olson and found them ok, maybe I should have a look at Pegas ? I am just learning so I usually blame myself if anything goes wrong, but there...

Thanks Brian, I will be following this with a lot of interest

Hi All, I cut this segmented fish today. It is 1/2" thick Maple and I used an Olson #2 crown tooth blade/s (I broke 1). Will post pics when it is painted and finished. take care Don W

Hi All, I'm back :D Following the advice of scrimper and Aggrajag I cut the butterfly again. I orientated it to run with the grain as scrimper suggested and used masking tape stuck to the wood and then the pattern stuck with Pritt stick as advised by Aggrajag and the whole taped over with...

Absolutely brilliant. A superb likeness in my eyes. Thanks for showing. take care Don W

Hi Peter, I am using the 'Scroll Saw Workbook', by John A. Nelson at the moment, and working my way through the exercises. Lots of different exercises and all very interesting, but it is a matter of practice and finding the tools that you are comfortable with. My other book is 'Success with...

Thanks Brian, My grand-daughter has just got herself a pup and I liked this design. I will post on ScrollSaw Village wth it and credit the designer

Hi All I'm back, Finished a little project today done with some good quality ply. The ply is 1/4" and, I think, a bit heavy. @scrimper, I ordered some 1/8" ply today from your recommended site. I will let you know how that goes.

Local company, makes very good (expensive) summerhouses. Cuts and dries it's own wood, 2 pieces wood 5" square 36" long

First quote from a local company, 2 pieces of air dried Ash £112 inc.VAT

Thanks for that Brian. I will try and see what I can find.

Thanks for a most informative post Brian. Can I PM you re the Oak you picked up ? take care Don W PS I just wanted to know your timber merchant ? I need 2 pieces of Oak or Sapele (something hard) shaped like a baseball bat, It needs to be about 3 feet long and minimum 5" diameter

I thought it a leatherjacket at first but at 4" to 6" long it would be some daddy long legs ?

Brilliant idea. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Aggrajag, All very useful advice. I looks as if taping the wood and then sticking on the pattern is the way to go. I have a fair bit of packing tape to be used up so I will gave it a go when when the shed warms up a bit. It is less than 5 degrees out there at the moment and it is just...

To be honest.... as a learning exercise the woods a 'bit' on the thick side (reduce it by 50 to 75%) or preferably use something about 1/4" your progress will come on in leaps and bounds I only used what the book recommended, in fact it was only 5/8" thick where the book said 3/4". It is a bit...

I'm looking for some help again :oops: I have competed some of the exercises and am beginning to like this lots. Some pictures from what I have done so far I quite liked doing these pieces but have some questions. While cutting round the outline I did not get a smooth cut and the blade kept...

Another spot on video John. Thanks for showing.
