Try the "Superior Puzzle Blades" from Flying Dutchman. They don't specify a size per se, but should be around 0/2.

I would think the superior puzzle blades would be your best option as they are designed exactly for what you are doing. Perhaps you are feeding the wood to the blade a bit aggresive, maybe causing your blade to flex and snap, or the blade flex enough to hit your saw table, that would certainly cause it to break. Where are you breaking the blades? If its in the bladeholder, try tuning up your blade holders, make sure theres no sharp edges in there.Dale w/ yella saws

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationGot it. Your picture was rather dark and could not see the construction.
I still don't think it was mass-produced though....-

by handibunnyThe strip method is the way to go for small compound cut objects. Betty's photo reminded me of my first published project in SSWC, in 2007, which was a bow box, and pulled up the strip of hand-drawn patterns I submitted for making the bow loops. It really makes the process go quickly.

I must try doing in strips. I have always done 2 at a time with small clamps to hold the birdies.
Also, when I do mine I always fill the hole with moss. I used to use dryer lint or cedar leaves but I got a bag of moss from dollar store and it will last a lifetime.
