jerry1939 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Most of you nice people were probably already doing this. I would need special tutoring to become the Village Idiot. Was sawing a star today. It has long, narrow points. Drilled the starter hole beyond the point. In the past, I would cut one side, back up to the starter hole and saw the other side. Started doing it differently today. Sawed the first side as before, backed to the starter hole as before. Started from there to saw PARALLEL with the second cut. Halfway, I turned, sawed to the 2nd side and sawed back to the point. This gave me a nicer, crisp point.

dgman Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Jerry, come out to Southern California and I'll teach you all those little tricks. I have a scroll saw class next month at the Woodcraft store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR48 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Jerry, it might be better to save in a Windows format as not very many use Open Office, and I don't know why as it's free and every bit as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
