Been there, done that. It was better but not want.

thanx for kind comments. I downloaded a steve good pattern just now, probably start it tomorrow if I dont have to pick up my grandson. hes 4 and hes fascinated by the workshop and the tools, but the loud tools bother his ears so he stands outside and looks in....he goes into the house and takes out his plastic work bench with all the tools and gets busy immitating me. Im almost sorry I sold off my mini lathe as Im sure in a few years I could have taught him pen turning as I did two of my nephews.

I have seen many people take the clamp and trace it on a small block of wood and either cut it out or use a Dremel tool to carve it out. Then they cut it in a circle on the outside. I also seen some actually cut slots in the edge of circle to get some tact. I believe I think I seen Steve Good have a pattern. Seen it somewhere. Memory is not what it use to be. Now what was I doing?

I sold a few for $20

You can do it Don.

It's kinda hard to see, but there are perforations in the sandpaper that rip down into thin strips, so it creates these little fingers. The brush behind it gives the fingers a bit of support but bends when the work is pressed against it. I think the advantage is that it can find its way into tight areas. But since they are micro bits of sandpaper, it's not as aggressive (based on my experience, anyway....maybe I'm doing it wrong ). I usually don't need that too much, which is why I like the sanding mop. It tends to soften everything....plus I'm impatient.

I always check in on the Pattern request folder, even when I'm not requesting any just to see the awesomeness that you and the other pattern designers create! You have made a few patterns for me the last few years and all that you have ever asked for is for us to show the piece when it is finished. I was more than happy to compensate you even though you refused. (Didn't know how confusing it would be to address an envelope to someone in another country! LOL) I am dreading the day that we no longer have our pattern makers for one reason or another. Thank You All.. grampa, Don, Birchtree.. haven't seen for quite a while and others! by the way, can I get a pattern? LOL

Mighty fine.

You might consider the Pegas #2/0 Metal Cutting Blades. They are 0.0102" thick x 0.0205" wide x 56.0 tpi. I have them in stock. The price is $40.32 per 12 dozen/pack. I also have smaller packs.

I really think these are cool. The pattern for a few in Issue 61 of Scroll Saw Workshop. I am going to give one a try so I can use as show and tell in the compound cutting course I do.

That looks great, RJ

Nice scrolling.

nice work

welcome to the village

Welcome from the centre of Canada! With that selection of woods, you should jump into Intarsia.

In a previous discussion, someone asked "who is checking?" It does seem rather skimpy for use.

They work also well at the Pégas out of the box. No need to nip anything.

I never nip the notch off blades work fine on my Seyco

Good ideas thanks for sharing

Sand-O-Flex seems to be used a lot by wood carvers.

Thanks Kev, will do.

Sounds like a match made in heaven. Congrats and welcome from Delaware.

I hear you. Not only request for patterns but even introductions. I find myself not responding until the new member has responded to previous welcomes. Why does someone come on once to introduce themselves and never come back? Are they that lonely? I hope not.

@JTTHECLOCKMAN It does. Like I said I like simple. The tensioning on the Hawk, just too many clanky things that do not need to be. In my opinion. But I like the saw, not sorry I got it. And will adjust it to my needs. Been using it a lot lately. Got to find a better knob for the upper clamp that does not give me wrist pains to use it. Enjoy the conversation with you.

I have the pattern for the Gandalf one in the upper right. Just have not done it yet!
