  1. Order some #5 and #3 Flying Dutchman UR Blades.  The ones that come with the DeWalt are garbage, and might cause you to get discourage.  Check out the Scroll Saw Village, and Steve Good's Scroll Saw Workshop, there are ton of great folks there. Both have a in-depth beginners guide. I been Scrolling for a long time, so feel free to ask me any questions.

  2. When I was younger I would print off a picture trace it on to wood then use a scroll saw to cut it out then use a wood burner

     

    Yup, thats also in the works, doing some wood burning projects.   For scroll sawing, I just print the patterns and attach them to wood.

  3. Hahaha. I like the "old fashioned". What project are you working on with this setup Wigwag?

    I have a few idea rattling around, but first going to practice with lettering and same basic vector graphics.  I am most excited about learning carving caricatures out of Basswood.  Brandon has been making walking sticks, but he's only been using a wood burner for adding designs, so I am hoping he will start carving some Wood Spirits on his sticks.

  4. Good Day Crew!

     

    Well, since the CNC I want is a little over $4,000, and I won't be able to buy it until early next year I decided to do it the "Old Fashion" way

     

    Steps:

    1) Find Picture

    2) Use the carbon paper to trace it on the wood

    3) Secure wood to bench with carpet tape

    4) Use a variety of bits in the Dremel and the DeWalt DWP611 Router

    5) Have fun carving

    The Flexcut Knife and Gloves are for carving stuff in Basswood, like caricatures.
