First Scroll Project

[FormulaGTA]

Hi all,
First off, I'm new to woodworking and decided to try my hand at scrolling. My neighbor had a 1950's ish Wards Powr-Kraft scroll saw that needed (still needs more work) to get going good. But anyways, Here is my first ever scroll project with it. Any criticisms or ideas on how to get any better results are more than welcome. Thank you for looking. Everett

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I like to get a more modern saw, but funds are tight right now. Here's a pic of the dinosaur. I made the pulleys so that I could get it running.

Welcome from another Missourian. Looks like you are off to a good start. You can do good work with that machine, a new one would only make it easier.

Great work, and I really like the pattern. You're pretty talented in more than one area! I look forward to seeing more of what you do!

[Okie]

Wow, that is great. I don't know if you need a new say or not. Just keep on Keeping On.

Amazing First project. I think my first project looked like it was done with a radial arm saw. Great work.

I think my first project looked like it was done with a radial arm saw.

OMG, now thats funny but it couldnt have been that bad!

That's very good for your first cutting and that saw is pretty cool looks to me like it would cut a 4" piece of wood pretty easily.Jerry
oh and welcome to the forum.

[FormulaGTA]

Thank you.
Duke: It will fit a 3" under tensioner at full downstroke, but it don't want to cut 2 1/2 thich pattern( i.e. 3D reindeer). I'm thinking it could be my blade. What blade would you recommend. I'm using the FD-SR #5.
