Paws was hard to make. Beyond the capabilities of the scrollsaw.

My biggest piece make on scroll saw. Height 80 cm, excalibur 30 capacity 71cm.

Material beech wood, thickness 2cm. Base 2,5 cm made from beech doble carved on router. Different cutters , simple router mounted in table.

If you run out of room on your scroll saw, turn the blade around so the teeth are at the back ... or just put a spiral blade in it.

Sometimes it's ok to do that, right Brian? :-D

Seriously though, it can get you out of bother.

Spiral blades doesn't work good.
If you mount blade backward you still have problem with rotation 360 degree.

For really big piece is different scroll saw construction. This doesn't work so perfect like standard scroll saws.

 

[NazNomad]

You have something like 320° to use before you hit the back of the saw, just turn the blade around for the 'unreachable' part and hang the work off the front of the saw.
It's not ideal, but it can get you out of the s***.

interesting design, good work. I've not made anything bigger than the swing on my saw, can't see me doing it anytime soon.

I have seen a micro jigsaw (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Proxxon-Micro ... Swh2xX~btP )which might do the bits the EX30 can't get to.

I saw a modelling jigsaw in Lidl yesterday (It was a 3rd December offer but your local store may still have them) - http://leaflet007.co.uk/lidl-modelling-jigsaw-thursday-3rd-december-2015.html

These saws are not as thin as scroll saws blades.
