I got out of practice and cut someting out of order. When I realized it was to late instead of cutting it by hand with my fret saw I tried to use the scrollsaw knowing what would happen..
Now that I have admitted my faults, I need some suggestions.
I cut out the background field around a very small very detailed cut. Lots of "on the dime turns" and needless to say I broke it off while scrolling it. I have two 1/32" connecting pieces that I could glue back on but I need to finish making the cut before I put it back on or it is just going to break back off. The piece that broke off is smaller than a dime and has to be basically turned into 1/32" profile line with detail on the inside of it.
I thought of double sidded taping it to scrap and just cutting it but there is not enough surface area for the tape to hold it. The upstroke of the blade pulls it up every time. Probably because I only use reverse skip tooth blades.
Are there any other tricks out there that may get me out of this bind?
TIA.
Bill.
