i am having a blast with this stuff. i asked what it might be called in another post and a nice member said it might be "layering". i searched and found that layering was stacking separate thin, mostly 1/8" layers of wood following a pattern then adding the picture/drawing to the layers then gluing the layers together. this "3D cover?" is a comic book cover glued to 1/2" plywood, planning and cutting the cover into "puzzle pieces?" then using the layers of the plywood to adjust depth and hot glue each piece back into the body of the cover. very few of the pieces go back in "straight and level". for example all of the arms in this cover are made flush with the body of the subject and farther out at the hands to create more depth. in any case i love doing it and have been lucky enough to sell a few to help pay for stuff to make more. the last picture is a jig i made to hold the body of the project to make reassembly much easier.

So I'm considering one of the two, a 1680 or 1800 and other than one being 16" or 18" and the 1800 has the side disc sander is there a great deal of difference between the two? I'm certainly not bent on Dremel as a brand, but I've seen both for sale (used of course) far cheaper than many others on the market. I like the idea of what appears to be quick blade change at least on the 1800, not sure about the 1680.. I haven't read too many negative comments about the 1800, but have seen a few negatives about the 1680.. My current scroll saw is an old 2 speed Dremel I'm forever having to modify and blade changing is a regular PITA.. I can no longer tighten the bottom clamp sufficiently without the risk of snapping an allen wrench. I've broken two already . So how does the 1800 fare compared with the 1680? Thanks

Hello All, I'm from the Pittsburgh, PA area, and I'm 67 YO. I was a welding instructor up untill 2012. I now make Copper Items for sale on the interweb. When things were slow I thought I would try doing some scroll saw work. Seems OK, I've made some things, and believe I will continue this for a while. Also since I have some left over Copper, I thought I would mix...Copper and Wood. Of course I will Never be accused of being a photographer...LOL ---> 8-)

Well, I decided for my 2nd project to tackle a guitar player for my son who handles his axe quite well. Took about 2 hours to cut it out. I'm beginning to get the feel of the tight turns now. May try to work on a Willys truck for my son-in-law next.
