Very clever. I'm impressed.

Ya got me all worked up Trout. I can't wait to see what you've done.
Hey Pops, How did you do the chain? I've made a chain by carving it out of one piece of wood, but yours looks like it was made from 1/4" stock. If not you carve like a machine. Nice work by the way.
Are we ever going to see a pattern?Jim

"Hey Pops, How did you do the chain?"
The links are all 1-7/8" x 1-1/4". I took a long piece of 2x2 oak a foot long and drew the profile of the links on each surface. Then using the scrollsaw cut out the profiles on one surface then turned the stock and cut out the profile on the other surface..............
Gotcha... cut them out of 1/4" oak I had planed down making sure the grain went on the long part of the link. Then split every other link starting at the cuff and reglued them back together. By cutting them on the long grain it made it easy to hide the saw cuts. I try not to use plywood on my projects. Just a quirk of mine.Pop

by John SmithI've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.

by Quartz43Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

by John Smiththanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...07-01-2022, 07:21 PM

by handibunnyVery impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.07-01-2022, 06:31 PM
