      This sounds like a great idea. I'll put in our suggestions box/list to be considered for a future article.

      Thanks for the input!

        What kind of bleach do you people use on basswood? How many coats?

          Go to the paint/stain sectin of your local home center and look for wood bleach. Comes in two parts. Follow direcitons. Works good.

            Thanks. I will do that. I've been told it makes a better white than white paint. I will give it a try.

              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.

              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.!...

              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...
