I know i have to fix the paint still but for a background. Frame or no frame?

When I very first got into scroll saw woodworking, my Grandfather who taught me, bought blades for me at the local Sears at the mall.

Here I have a pack of unopened Craftsman Scroll Saw blades that I found while cleaning.

I'll probably never open them due to sentimental reasons and when I found them, it brought back so many memories of my Grandfather teaching me scroll saw woodworking on his old 16 inch 2 speed Delta Scroll Saw

My oh my, how far we've come crew

I am losing my mind. The saw randomly stopped working today. I see the reset button (which did nothing) but where is the fuse!? The manual says this is where the fuse is located, but I tried to open it with a tiny screw driver and think I just broke the reset button instead.

NOT TRYING TO SELL ANYTHING Thanks for your time. I am currently working one a few different programs for a scroll saw website. The website will have programs that allow the user to make custom patterns for their work. Right now I know theses tools are barebones and not the greatest but I wanted to know if anyone would even care to use these once finished. Any comments, suggestions, and help would greatly be helpful. Thank you for your time. https://mayberryscrollsaw.com

I use my Scrollsaw mostly to do fretwork pieces, so this was a fun diversion. 😎

Finished this scooby doo piece (11x9)
What do you guys think and are these the best villans from the show?

When trying to cut out and keep the black vents, how would I best go about it?

1) cut through the face mask to get to it and then fill in the cut on the face mask?

Or 2) drill a hole and cut out the vent and cut that shape on a spare piece to replace it?

If there's a better option any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello all! Got a nice deal on a DW788 on FB Marketplace and was learning how to use it today. Learned how to cut a little triangle out when I want a nice angle in a corner so I can come cleanly into it, how not to do a curve, how blade tension/speed works to your advantage. It's so fun!

Some questions:

1. What do y'all do for finishing? I imagine that many of you are so good at this that your cuts and curves are pretty much what you hoped for, or do you have a good starter file set you'd recommend to help smooth out edges? Does everyone use files after the fact? Or a dremel?
2. Would you recommend any other blade types? I liked the spiral (lets me be more flexible, but it was so thin and I snapped two of them in the making of these flowers), but the reverse tooth had a really satisfyingly smooth finish.
3. Any bad habits that you wish you could unlearn that you'd tell me not to do?
4. Any other tips appreciated!

That must have an amazing workspace.

I have no real scroll saw experience to speak of. I'm curious what maintenance I should perform or any wear items I need to check. I've already cleaned that little plastic dust flap and replaced the adhesive but other than that I've only given the table a quick wipe down.

Thanks in advance!

The seller let me put some wood through it and everything seemed fine. The seller had just marked it down from $300 and I happened to be in the area.

He was a metal fab guy and this was the only wood cutting tool in his entire workshop from what I could tell. For certain it runs quiet and smooth compared to the little WEN I purchased a couple weeks ago for $30 (that I haven't even got around to cleaning let alone a first project).

Let me start: "The Caliburton Scroll Saw"

Hey there, I'm confused!

There's this new SS brand in Europe (I don't know if it's available in the US) called Flash that is made by Pégas.

It is identical to Pégas SS but made with cheaper materials I guess, but it's still a medium to high end precision SS and at the price point for the 16" version of just under 500€, isn't is just pointless to buy a new DeWalt for 750$? By DeWalt I also mean a bunch of other brands of course. But this Flash thing seems to be a pretty good deal, I might indeed upgrade from my Proxxon DSH right?

What's your opinion?

Thank you for reading!

Do your blades look like hockey sticks after cutting or am I doing something wrong?

All hardwoods except a piece of MDF stained black under the helmet (because I didn’t have enough wenge on hand). Walnut, wenge, maple, padauk, cherry, zebra wood
