Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments

Thanks Vinnie. And thanks for the order....

Thanks Rolf. I guess I should give me a discount!...

Simple but elegant.

Thanks for the review. My first saw was a Hitachi. I returned it within a week and purchased a DeWalt. I have since added an EX21 and now that we are Pegas dealers, a Pegas Scroll Saw. If I had stayed with the Hitachi, I would probably not enjoy this fun hobby.

Welcome to the forum from Tennessee. As said, we like pictures....

[Sandy Oaks]

Thanks Betty. Here at ArtCrafters, they seem to sell year-round. Unless I give one away!...

I know I posted these many times, but we seem to have new members. The patterns by Diana Thompson found in CWWC May 2011. The birdhouses are made from Ash and the little birds from Bloodwood. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using Pegas #6 Super Skip blades. The finish is dipping in diluted Shellac and...

The issue I got my patterns is May 2011.

Welcome to the forum from TN. I will add my two cents worth about Sue Mey. She is located in South Africa and makes wonderful patterns. If you are looking for Pegas scroll saw blades, check out my website artcraftersonline.com

Dave’s question was using 1/4” BBP. As a Pegas dealer, the #2/0 Skip has a similar tpi as the FD Puzzle blades.

You sent me a message and I just responded. As for the EX stand fitting the Pegas, it should, but I have never tried.

I know there are several of her books listed by Fox Chapel. In fact, the current issue of ScrollSaw Woodworking & Crafts lists one for sale. 3-D patterns for the Scroll Saw. Code 8480 for $14.99

I see you are in southern Kentucky, so not too far away. The two saws you mentioned were the Seyco and the Pegas. I would not consider the new Excalibur as the quality control does not seem to meet standards. I could list the advantages of the Pegas, but you mentioned collapsible baskets. You need...

It would be good to start a new thread. You might get better responses. Check at the top of the topic section, there is a sticky primer about inlay....

[Sandy Oaks]

As a Pegas dealer, I would suggest the Pegas. With that said, the Seyco is also a very good saw with excellent service. I would not recommend the Ex as they are now made in China with poor quality control....

Another book I use for teaching is "Scroll Saw Workbook" by John A Nelson

Thanks Linda. Thrown for a loop just over a year ago, but back in the saddle again....

[Sandy Oaks]

Very well done, Rolf. I saw that one too, but so many projects to complete.

I like Scott's comment. I only use Spirals for portraits and if there are straight lines I switch to flat blades. Yesterday I cut some Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments and used Pegas #7 Super Skip blades. Spirals would never work for compound cutting. Blades depend on the project, wood and wood th...

Thanks Scott, and yes fun. The Sea Turtle is already sold....
