super duper cutting. I really like making that dragon too. I used ink scape to enlarge it so I could cut a mantel sized one. Still have the pattern but not cut yet.Pacifism is great, as long as everyone is participating.

Tim,
I still have two of those dragons on my front hall table, cut years ago. A friend gave me a thick piece of beveled glass to use to display them. One was dyed red, which really looks cool, and the other was left natural oak. They were fun to cut, but a challenge. Best way I know to develop good cutting skills.
Glad your work was such a success!

miss carole, you’re so right about the ‘fun challenge’, but when i’m cuttin, i’m so relaxed, specially with the ‘girls’ playin…*Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, & Adele*….i used marblewood, and that was a challenge within itself

Nice work tagordy, I thought the dragons were oak at first, hehe, we don't see so many varieties of wood over here too often unless one goes searching the wood turning sites.

sunlion, i found the marblewood at my woodcraft store…when i first started scrollin, i had read in a magazine somewhere that the best lookin stuff, would come from the woods with the best lookin grains, well i bought the piece of wood, and when i came home with it, was ready to cut right away, only to find out the ‘cheap’ blades would barely cut thru it….then i got smart and got me a few FD blades, and retried cuttin the wood…much, MUCH easier…well now, until i sell some stuff, i’ll be usin the less expensive woods

Reply to rbi Hawk scroll saw springHi Tango. What model scroll saw do you have? I know the model I bought used is a 226-M. I can't find any information on it because it'd so old. Right now I'm trying to determine the H.P. of the motor used to run these scroll saws. Can you look on yours to see what H.P. voltage, and rpm the motor is?...

Reply to Rikon Air Cleanerby will8989He did therapy for 4 weeks then at home for another 2 to get his legs ready for the surgery. The therapist called today her first inhome appointment is Thursday. Hopefully the other knee will be within a few weeks. He has an amazing resolve so I expect him not to need the walker or cane in 2 weeks....
