Popular Post Runa Posted October 12, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Been busy learning the Ryobi 162vs with pin end blade. Have to finish them off with oil. What kind of finish would look better? Will appreciate feedback on it. buggee12, lawson56, OCtoolguy and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Nicely cut. The only suggestion that I would have is with your first piece, on the name courage I would cut the letter O in this manner..(shown in the enclosed image). this way you have a letter and not a hole. with other letters like most B b Dd g Oo Pp Qq's if you do not leave a small space the round, enclosed parts of the letters become holes instead.. Not criticizing but just pointing this out so that it might help you. Nice work.

hawkeye10 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Runa that is nice. I mean they are real nice. You could finish them with Watco Danish Oil that you can but at a big box store. I also like Bullseye spray shellac in a can. Just put 2 or 3 light coats on and your through. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runa Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks for the feedback :). I totally messed that O up for sure. I will certainly do it differently next time. OCtoolguy and SCROLLSAW703 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam777 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Really nice work. Like Dick said keep the center of the "o" attached like he showed it. Here I would like to ask Dick if he would do this with software (Inkscape ...) or just manually when you are cutting.

Scrappile Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Holy Cow!, Runa, you are doing great! You say your Ryobi " with pin end blades". Does this mean you new to you Ryobi does not take "pinless" blades? Or you just don't have pinless blades for it yet? Whatever, that is some very nice scrolling.

SCROLLSAW703 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 excellent work, runa! as mentioned, i would encourage you to invest in some stencils & practice the O's. Like Hawkeye said, use bullseye zinser spray shellac on them, & leave them be. keep about 10" - 12" away from your project when spraying, or it'll glob up. 3 light coats should be plenty. You're doin' great! keep makin' sawdust! Runa and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 The only thing I can see is the "O". Everything else looks great to me. Great job on these. Runa and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runa Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thank you everyone for the feedback, encouragement and suggestion on finish. I am so addicted to this and hope make more sawdust as I learn. Very thankful to this forum and all of you for support.

The screws that support pinless dint come with it and they are discontinued. They are not regular screws but taper off. We are going to file the regular screw to see if that works. I got some pinless no 3 to try intricate design and cant wait to try it. The blade looks so delicate though and i worry i dont have enough experience to use them.

stoney Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Very nice cuttings Runa you are doing very well. Yeah if you can get the pinless blades to work you can do very fine detail fretwork. Thanks for showing us. OCtoolguy and Runa 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one thing to remember, when using smaller blades they will not take side pushing and twisting the wood too well.. I am not saying cutting corners but rather kind of side to side stuff.. they will break easier then the heavier blades but at the same time they are not as aggressive, making them easier to control. So go for it. and have fun. You are doing really well Dick heppnerguy Runa and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I would like to ask Dick if he would do this with software (Inkscape ...) or just manually when you are cutting. Thank you for sharing Sam Sam, If I were designing the pattern I would choose a font that had these not cut areas already there but if I was using a font. like say a script font and there was an obvious fall out area like in the above 'O" situation, I would probably create the needed attachment in the pattern program I was using to make the pattern. However if it was someone else's pattern and they had overlooked the letter turning into a hole when cut, I would probably just draw a stopping point on the printed pattern to remind me that I needed to not cut it there. I hope that makes sense to you. If not you can PM me and I will be happy to draw you an example Dick heppnerguy Runa and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Really super job on your cutting! Your choice of patterns is nice too. OCtoolguy and Runa 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Very nicely done thanks for sharing. If you are putting a backer piece on the first cutting. If you wanted you may be able to take the same wood you used and the O part of the pattern on the wood and re cut it but as Dick said leaving the two attachments then just cut the attachment carefully at the inside top and bottom where they attach then glue in place on the backer board. Just a thought not sure how it would look. Runa and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerJay Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Those are really nice pieces - I especially like the first one - and agree that it is not too late to save the piece if you are going to use a backer - by cutting out a new centre of the "O" and gluing it on the backer. If I remember right I think Charles Dearing has at least one video on You Tube that talks about this as an actual technique on some projects.
