@@kenyettalewis4727 Hi Kenyetta! I cut out the paddles and seal them with clear spray lacquer for $80 plus shipping. I can spray paint them a solid color for the same price. I haven't done any detailed decorating because it just takes too much extra time and it's not something I like to do, plus it would increase the price a lot. Thanks for asking!

Nice little scroll saw project! Super cool!

I was going to suggest spiral blades (though it's much harder to scroll a straight line), but I see someone already mentioned it. I have a pretty cheap craftsman saw myself, but you could certainly do better than what I have.

Steve, Questions for you? What band saw would you go with for cutting 3/4 MDF and blade/tooth count. I need it to be clean cuts. Your work and vids are awesome!!! Thanks.

@SteveCarmichael

9 жыл бұрын

Andy Sommer Hi Andy - Thanks! I used to sell lots of Guitar Hero guitar hangers that I cut out of 3/4" MDF. At the time, I used a $100 Delta 9" benchtop to cut hundreds of those out. I used whatever blade was at Lowes, probably 8 tpi range. If you want to cut thicker stuff like bandsaw boxes or need more than 9" clearance, then a 12" or 14" would be better. The thicker the wood, the fewer tpi you want. (www.amazon.com/DELTA-BS100-Shopmaster-9-Inch-Bench/dp/B00006JZZT/?tag=lege1-20)

This is awesome! I design greek paddles but I always have to order the paddles. I want to learn how to cut my own paddles. What type of machines will I need and what would be your suggestions on me learning
