Sycamore67 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I cut the Bear Pile from 3/4" Poplar with #3 and #5 FD Polar blades. The pattern was resized so that it fit on a 1 x 6. After cutting I used strips of sand paper to sand some of the kerf details so they could be more easily seen. I will finish it by dipping in Danish Oil. I am going to send this to my Grandkids. I bought the pattern for the Rabbit pile and will be cutting it next for them. RabidAlien, Dave Monk, heppnerguy and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkort Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 very nice piece!!! now iv mentioned this before but I taught myself to scroll saw so I don't really know what im doing. lol I notice on some posts it says what sized blade and what kind of blade the person used. I never was able to figure out all the different reasons why you would use one type or size blade you should use for different things. I use the spiral blades for puzzles and then I just sort of look at the blades in my box and use skinny ones for aireas that have lines to cut that are very close to each other. and thicker ones for thicker woods and that don't have a lot of close lines.... I know some have different teeth thingys to but I usuly just get which ever one is cheapest at the time, and has more blades in the bags. lol this seems to be working out ok for me …. are there blades that are suppose to be used for some things and other blades to use for other things? not saying i'll change the way I scroll lol but I believe there is no information that isn't worth knowing. lol amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I use FD Polar blades on thicker woods because they are a skip tooth design and clear the sawdust well. If you want to get better with the scroll saw, it would be good to understand the different type of blades as you will get better and more accurate cuts. Take a look at the teeth on a blade and compare different types of blades. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkort Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 yes I have looked at the teeth on my blades, some of them have a cutting edge both ways top and bottom....others iv noticed have larger spaces between the teeth. I really like the spiral blades and I judge which one of them to use for a project depending on how thick it is. my son is dyslex and when he was a child he went to a spical school to learn how to read, once he learned you couldn't stop him!! lol we couldn't afford to get me tested but by talking to the people there they were sure that I have an off shoot of this learning disabliey called dyscalula… it basically means that my mind will just not make sense of numbers lol you have no idea how frustrating that can be!! lol it makes it hard to decyper many of my patterns regardless of what medum I use. I do have a spical tape measure with all the numbers on it that tells me what the measurements are when im measureing things lol it helps a lot when im trying to tell people how bigsomething I most people just don't understand its 3 inches and 3 little lines!!!lol I use that tape measure for measuring all of my craft projects from cloth wood to yarn and thread.lol I have learned after years of struggling to make sense of numbers that I don't hve to understand the numbers just match the numbers on my pattern to the numbers on my spical tape measure. lol it can be frustring to whwen trying to buy lumber cloth ect…. as I cant seem to tell the people helping me how much or think or what ever the materal it is tht I need. lol there for I always have someone go with me when I need to buy materals that require a certin amount or kind. I know it doesn't make sense and I don't know how to expline it.lol spike has made spical marks on all of my measureing cups for me so when im cooking and theres a measurement I need that's not marked on it he puts the mark and what it is so I can measure ingredents on those occiosing when I use a recipe. it was funny one time he was watching me double a cake recipe and wanted to know why I was putting the same ingredents in the measureing cup more then once lol the explation is rather simple really.....if the recipe calls for 4 cups of something and im doubline it I just put in 4 cups 2 times lol we wont even get into how I manage to triple or more a recipe. lol it proubly donst make sense to any of you but it works!! I know this because half my life I worked in restrants lol you have no idea how happy I was when people fially figured out how to make things digital lol well iv confused you enough now and once again talked about something non scrolling !! I really am trying to stay on topic ut sometimes I need to sort of expline the weired way I do things lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
