No its not some weird torture device... This is the other project I have been working on today, im really quite pleased with myself for creating this. It's designed so that it can be added to. Only bad thing is I dont think I've charged enough for it. I'm new at this and struggle to decide on...

Well here's the finished article, thanks to all those that helped with the ideas.

Hi all, hope everyone is well. I've been asked to produce something for a guy that is passing out in the fire service in a couple of weeks. I've never done anything like this before and have no idea on a pattern. If we were in America this would be easy. Help me! All comments great fully...

Can anyone tell me what they use for designing patterns, I'm planning on cutting some jigsaw puzzle christmas trees for next year and would like a good free design package. I have been trying to use Inkscape but it's a load of rubbish! I want something like coral draw. I might have to bite the...

Hi all, been a long time since I've been on here, will make more effort this next year!! Just wanted to know if anyone buys their FD Blades from Lesley's patterns? Might have spelt that wrong but I think you'll understand. I find it easier due to being able to pay with paypal. However the last...

Hi folks, I'm after some advice. I've just been to my local timber yard and picked up some 20mm thick oak, I was hoping to try and cut a pattern out of it and the turn it into a jigsaw. Now being over confident I jumped straight into it and cut my first three pieces only to discover that they...

Hey folks, I'm going to be making some necklaces for gifts and hope to sell a few. I'm looking for a non toxic wood sealer, I've only ever used varnish before but want something different, also so it's kid safe just incase things get into mouths. Can anyone help me out with a good brand/type...

Hi folks, I was going to make my mum a necklace for mothers day and then thought i could do a few more and see if they would sell. I'm looking for a non toxic wood sealer, just hoping someone could recommend me a good one. Thanks James

I thought it might be a good idea for all of us that use Facebook or have a website to show off their talents to share them with us all. I do find that I struggle for inspiration sometimes and being able to see what others are doing would be a great way to give everyone a little bit, especially...

So I just wanted to show you some more of what I've been up to so far this year. Since deciding to buy a scroll saw from stubbling across a random Youtube video last year and then finding this forum, I have really been enjoying my new hobby. The advice I got on here from which saw to buy and...

Hi all, I'm looking for some old scrollsawing and wood craft magazines. I'm willing to pay for them. I realise that people won't really want to let them go as they are a great source of inspiration. I just seem to have a lot of problems buying them from America, my bank always seem to think...

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here so thought I'd show you all thee two portraits I've been working on for Christmas gifts. Here's the link to my photo bucket account: http://m1248.photobucket.com/albumview/ ... g.html?o=0 Merry Christmas to you all :-)

Hey folks, from what I understand segmentation is the same as intarsia but instead of using different woods to obtain different colours you can use one type and the dye to get the colours you desire. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a wood that's good for segmentation here in the uk...

Hey folks. So I've had my saw now for a week and things are going really well and I'm loving using it. I've been cutting 6mm hardwood ply and have down a couple little jigsaw type things. What I really want to say is that after reading the post's about quick release clamps, you are all spot on...

Hi folks. I would like to thank all of you on this forum. Because of you guys my first scroll saw turned up this weekend. After reading so many responses to the same question of which saw to buy I changed my mind on spending just over a hundred pounds and saved up for the AWFS18, it took me a...

Is there anyone that knows of somewhere/someone that can cut decent thin sheets of wood, i have read on here that it is difficult to obtain thin sheets of hardwood for scrolling in the uk so thought id ask if there is a place where i could get a 25mm thick ness halved and then planed. Thanks all
