  • Greetings from Northern Virginia

    I just realized that after probably two years of browsing this forum, I hadn't registered nor posted. I see some names I'm familiar with, so I guess I better weigh in.

    I've been making the fine dust for about 10 years now. When I was in San Antonio I had a small shop and started soing some shows, but a move back to my home town of Manassas put me in a condo with no room to store finished projects. I have my DeWalt on a home built roller stand for occasional use at home, but work more often out of my dad's shop. To be honest I've not done nearly as much fretwork in the last 6 years as I did in the previous 4, but I have dabbled some in making patterns.

    Readers of Scroll Saw Workshop will be able to see my first samplings of those endeavors coming out in the Fall issue, something I'm very much looking forward to. With that coming, I decided I better de-lurk and poke my head out!

          Welcome to the family, Tom.
          I, too, am now looking foreward to your projects in the Fall issue (although I don't yet have the Summer issue)
          It's much more fun to participate than it is to lurk in the shadows - that stuff is only good in comic books.
          Again, Welcome!
          Sandy (also in California)

            Thanks for the big welcome, I should have shown myself earlier!

            Hope you haven't had to work on it too hard Bob!

              Our Judges are some of the best woodworkers I have ever met. On occasion I get asked to explain what I look for in the scrolling categories. I point out all of the nuances. I can't be a judge as I have intarsia and scroll work entries.

              by Rolf
              There may have been some crud on the tips from manufacturing.
              In the ~20 years of scrolling I never cleaned the ends of my blades until recently. Even with the Pegas clamps I was having some blade slippage, I now scuff the ends of my blades with some 220 grit paper End of problem.!...

              Don’t over sand them as you will shorten their usable life. Only sand as needed. Another thing to do is clear your blades before installing. Blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Wipe the ends with alcohol or lightly sand with 320 grit.

              The fact that you only had approximately 6 hours on the saw tells me there was a thin oily film on the clamps from the manufacturing process.
              If problem continues you may have spread the clamps in the process of tighten blades. A common problem with OEM parts. This issue will disappear by replacing...
