Scroll Saw Magazines?

[pa-paw]

I'm fairly new to scrolling, and I was wondering if there were magazines dedicated to scroll sawing? I know that some woodworking magazines award prizes or money for new ideas or shop tricks. At any rate, I've come up with a devise pertaining to the scroll saw that seems to work very well. If anyone knows of some such magazines please let me know. Thanks.

Didn't mean to offend anyone. I found this site through Google. I'm afraid that I haven't researched the site that much, as I'm just recently registered here. I'm not as familiar with the scroll saw as many folks. I'll check out "Scroll Saw Workshop magazine". Thanks for your suggestion...John

You have piqued my curiosity because you say you are a newcomer to the world of the scrollsaw but you have come up with a device to help in scrollsawing. Not to sound skeptical or anything and I wish you all the best with your venture but can you tell us at least does it have to do with blade changing, speed changing, cutting methods, or anything else. Please wet our taste buds here. I would be looking at the patten office first before talking to a scrollsaw magazine. But if you are going to show it to a magazine there is no better one than the one you are writing on. This forum is owned by Scrollsaw Workshop. Just give a private message to the administrator and they will direct you. Good luck .

It's probably nothing that hasn't been thought-up before. I doubt if it's worth a patent or anything, but it's just something to extend blade life, make for smother scrolling, and give (at me) better control over the work. Like I said, "It's probably nothing that hasn't been thought-up before".
It came about as a simple solution to a problem that I was having while cutting some 5/8" popular.
I'm sort of slow, but I do enjoy trying to solve simple problems...John

Let me try and figure out if it can win some sort of contest. If nothing comes of it in a week or so, then I'll post it up. You can laugh at me for thinking up something, that everyone already knows. Oh well, we'll see...John

Thanks for the welcome.

Pa-Paw......If it doesn't involve soap or packing tape you might be on to something!!! I doubt if anyone on this forum will laugh at your efforts.....maybe giggle a little. Just kidding....good luck with whatever you've got going!!

I think I figured it out he found out if he changed over to The Flying Dutchman blades he can save on blades. As we all know already Mike's blades are the longest lasting blades on the market. You can cut more projects with less blade changing than any blade I have ever tried. If there is anyone out there that still has not tried Mike's blades you owe it to yourself to give them a try and then no gizmos or gadgets are needed.


www.mikesworkshop.com I too am waiting patiently to find out this new procedure or product.

Nope! It’s not the blade, but it has everything to do with the blade. It’s an old Indian trick.

Could it be....

Could it be filing off the back of the blade to make it more rounded?

Just a guess.

"Nope! It’s not the blade"
Hint: Think more control and less blade grab...John

We actually have a small contest going on for our Info Exchange column where the winner of the best tip gets a $25 Fox Chapel Publishing Gift Certificate...but my deadline to get editorial to our designer is today--so time is of the essence!

Thanks for the "heads-up", Bob. Woodworkers Journal may still be doing the "Tricks of the Trade" feature, for their magazine. They were paying out $100.00-$200.00 if an idea is featured in the magazine. They will only pay if the idea is unpublished, so I hope to approach them first.
