I am new to scroll sawing. How long should it take roughly to make a chess piece using compound cuts.

Thanks for your advice. I presume that pine wood is dry. I got it from a DIY store months ago I will try the candle wax tip. I use clear packing tape and used a Pegas #3 blade today to compound cut a pawn piece. Getting a bit faster, took 1hour 45 minutes to complete.

Some very fine musicians have told me that speed is a bi-product of accuracy. Stick with it

Thanks, that's a good maxim to remember
