Bragging rights? Well, my first ever scroll saw cuts and I'm happy!

[BBerguson]

The Dewalt 788 is up and running. I cut a couple of trees with a Bosch spiral blade. The 3/4 pine was a little easier because I drew the pattern directly onto the boards and the cedar was difficult (at best) to see. Even though the thinner cedar (5/16) did cut easier. It was nice to saw without earmuffs and no real cloud of dust like I get from the band saw. It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to creating new things!

 

Saw is smooth and quiet and I ran it full speed.

Very nice work. Sounds like your addicted to your new saw.

[DWSUDEKUM]

Nicely done Brian.  Although hearing protection is not generally necessary when scrolling, dust prevention and masks are a necessity, but you all ready knew that I bet.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the new year.

You are off to a great start Bryan !  

[BBerguson]

Thanks for all the encouragement! I'm anxious for my daughter to give the saw a whirl and maybe tomorrow she'll go to the shop with me. That will be the real test... :-)

I rarely run the saw above 5 you real have to be in the know to do quality work wide open unless its thick wood which slows the cutting progress down.

[lawson56]

These are some Great looking Trees,I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of your work.    

[Phantom Scroller]

Well done Bryan, now you have pictures to look back on when you start making more sophisticated items. Always keep those. looking forward to seeing more.     Roly

[Blaughn]

You are ready to roll.  Caution:  Addiction lies just ahead.  

[smitty0312]

Grrrrrrrrrreat work!! I look forward to more from you!!

[hotshot]

Bryan, as you are exploring, you definitely want to give the straight blades a try for this kind of work.  Once you get used to them, they will be much faster, easier to control and you will have an easier time with straight/smooth lines.

Very nice work for a newbie but I have to go with Kevin I never run my saw over 5 you'll also find less vibrating and you'll have more control over your material. Jerry

I'm just learning about the speed, well, and everything else. I really need to put an order in for some blades because all I have is really little ones and really big ones and need to get some in between. I'm thinking some #3's and 5's would be a good start?

Not sure what those blades look like the only blade I use are 2/0 3/0 spirals and puzzle blades. Jerry

[rjR]

Nice start.

 

Build a comfortable "nest"!  Chair-light- dust control-- music-- lights --- lunch plate holder etc.

 

Then Cut!

 

My favorite blades supplier is --- http://www.pozsgaidesigns.com/index.htm

 

I know him, he is a great guy and very knowledgeable about anything scrollsaw too. He believes in reasonable prices, quality products,  customer service and helping out!

 

I am pleased to call Frank a friend.

Looks good. I always wear hearing protection. Long exposure is just as bad as loud.

[wombatie]

You are off and running  AND now you are addicted, sorry there is no cure except more scrolling.

Looks really good for a beginner.  I would recommend blades other than store brand.  Bosch may make great power tools, but there are some truly great blades out there that will increase your love for the hobby due to their longevity and "trueness".
