Scrolling a name

Ойын-сауық

You guys spoke up and I listened. Here is a quick example of scrolling a name in real time. Saws and blade types and species of wood are all factors for the experienced scroller. For those just getting started this is what I say; start where you are. If the only saw you have access to is your grandfathers 12" craftsman, use it. Blow off the dust, lube the moving parts, steel wool the table and put in an Olsen blade.
If you have a modest budget to work with, get what you can. The size of the saw is the depth of the cut, from blade to back. All scroll saws use 5" blades and have a 3/4" stroke and cut up to 2" stock. There are 2 types of blades, pin type and pinless. I use the pinless simply because you can thread it thru a smaller hole.
Lets talk about wood. For starting out, practice is what you want to do so pallet wood is great for that. I have even used pallet wood to make some really nice stuff. And yes, you will cut your fingers. Get some band-aids and suck it up. You won't lose a finger or injure yourself badly, just nicks here and there.
I would love to know your skill level and see your progress / projects so don't be shy. I have trained adults, teens and those who have never even seen a scroll saw before so nothing is laughable. I am as serious as you are about your scrolling journey so please share!!

    Thanks for this video. Was clear and to the point. Two things: I wish you had mentioned the size of the blade you were using. And I set up the name I am going to carve in MS Word or Powerpoint, then print that on a full-page sticky label. I then apply blue tape to my wood and stick the label to it. The label + tape then comes off easily after scrolling, and leaves no residue to clean off. The blue tape also adds a little lubrication to the process. This way you have unlimited fonts without cutting and maintaining stencils. Oh. Third thing: I make sure the bottom edge of my project is straight and smooth (table saw here) and place the label about 1/4” from that edge. This leaves a base for the letters to stand on. Ok, fourth thing: sand both sides of the wood before scrolling.

    I'm a newbie so I'll leave it to you to pick what and how. How do I know if I've got the right tension on the blade? Is there a list for this blade for this kinda wood, etc,,.

  • @regularguy6501

    @regularguy6501

    6 ай бұрын

    The blade description will tell you what it's applications are. And for tension, when cutting the stock, if the blade bends more than 1/8" you need to tighten it. For the soft wood I reccomend a #9, but not a skiptooth. They are good at removing sawdust but because they only have half as many teeth, they don't last as long. Olson or Flying Dutchman are the brands I suggest.

    I did cut them myself. I used a thin acrylic from amazon. Not sure of the thickness. But don't use clear, if you drop one or set it down it's hard to see when you need it again.
