Saw modifications
I have been around scrolling since birth. I restore a lot of saws and I recalibrate them and resell them to someone for less cost than a new one. Every saw has its own modification it seems. Not always but typically what I see are a couple things. On hawks people replace the tension knob in the back with something else and this leads to other problems. Every saw has flywheels or counter balance weights according to the weight of factory components. Changing this changes other things leadin
Dog Portrait - Abby
Dog Portrait - Abby pattern by Gayle at the Scroll Saw Cafe. I enlarged the pattern to fit the wood. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 12" square and backed with black mat board. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #0 Spiral blades. I kept the large pieces in place for sanding the fuzzies off the back side. After sanding, a light coat of spray Shellac, another light sanding with a Mac Mop, and a final coat of spray Lacquer Clear Gloss. Comments welcome.
Fretsaw project: Spidey
"Spidey" 46,5cm x 37cm, backer board 8mm, Spidey 4mm thick, 'cheap' DIY store ply, done with a hand held fretsaw with a #3 blade. This was my first complex one. Every single piece is a floater, cut out by hand, sanded, painted and glued in. Took me about three weeks.
Retirement gift
Working 57 years at one place is special and when that place is a university, it is extra special. So, a friend is finally pulling the plug in about 10 days and I cut him a copy of the school logo in 3/4" cherry. Picked up some fresh #3MGT blades from @Denny Knappen and they ripped right through this project. (My first real cutting since cataract surgery.) The base is weighted by a few ounces of BBs in glue. Below are pics of the campus statue, the derivative logo and my cutting.
