*This is my second WEN tool and they are both great **MyBest.Tools** I needed to do some trim work around the house and needed a scroll saw for the intricate work. No complaints so far.*
Thank you for the video. Several of these I have not seen before. Your editing is greatly appreciated also. Well timed, sped up in all the right places, and you stayed focused on topic. This stands out among many TH-cam videos on related topics. Please continue to do so. Excellent job.
I've only been scrolling for a few months but got hooked after watching Charles Dearing's videos. I've already upgraded. I use spray adhesive and stick the pattern directly to the wood. Mineral spirits wipe any glue residue off easily.
Thank you for showing the various methods to transfer the image. I have only tried by gluing the image directly to the wood, this has worked well for me on the various projects that I have done so far. I have found it quite easy to remove the paper after by using a damp sponge and most of the time it peels off very easily.
For intarsia projects, I use the clear shelf liner paper. The reason is that I can see the wood pattern and place the piece to be cut In the direction of the wood grain. Also, the pattern can be removed and repositioned if necessary. I then place packing tape over the top of it. Works great for me and easy to remove with no residue left.
Thank you for taking the time to cover these many different ways to accomplish the application of a pattern. I appreciate that you did not waste any time with random topical thoughts and got right down to it. Liked and subscribed. I wish you much success.
I have been scrolling for many years and haven't heard of a lot of your methods. It is very interesting. I use the spray adhesive. It works well for me. Great video.
Spray adhesive, then packing tape over it. You can take it off with a heat gun or hair dryer, then wipe with mineral spirits. Learned some methods from the vid, great job!
I usually use graphite paper and trace the pattern on. I have recently tried taping on a copy of the pattern on the wood with packing tape it worked well and kept the sides of the piece real smooth where little to no sanding was needed
Thank you for such a comprehensive education on this topic. I look forward to taking advantage of the other information from other videos you have made available.
I use blue painters taqpe but I spray not only the pattern but also the blue painters tape. The pattern really sticks well and I don't worry about the adhesive sticking to the wood.
Loved your Video. Excellent! I will share my modification of your Ink Jet printer method. I live in the Philippines. I don't have readily available the fancy papers you talk about and some of the things I did try (like plastic report cover sheet) immediately jammed the printer. So what I did is take a regular piece of letter size paper and cover it with clear (three inch wide) packing tape. This worked perfect!
I've found the few scroll saw projects I've done wind up pulling the pattern up off the material when just using spray adhesive on the paper and applying it directly to wood. I'd be interested in how each of these methods compare when actually cutting and remaining stable.
I use clear packing tape on my wood then I use the same 3M 77 spray adhesive as you did to attach my pattern. The smooth plastic tape surface also works as a lubricant for your scroll saw blade. Hope I was helpful.
For small pieces I use the direct glue with the gluestick. It sands of easily or I put the piece between a damp cloth. The glue from the gluestick gives way in about 20 minutes. You have to clean (or sand) afterwards. I am experimenting with the painterstape and sprayglue. Mainly because both are inexpensive and they work very clean. With the gluestick and damp cloth method you have to wait until your piece is totally dry before applying a finish. When sawing a lot of items (like christmas tree ornaments for the grandchildren) I choose the gluestick, when working in batches wet ‘stuff’ is’nt that of a problem and it works fast in applying the pattern.
Learning tips before I start. K so with the paper glued on the board, does the paper rip when cutting? could that happen with a dull blade or if the glue isn't dried enough?
I use painters tape and glue stick works great for me,but I also put clear packing tape over my pattern after I glue it so It helps keep from splitting the wood
Great video! Thank you very much for all the suggestions. I like the painter's tape and glue stick method, it is simple and quick and I understand that the adhesive on the tape helps to lubricate the saw blade which keeps it cool.
I normally stack cut and use painters tape to hold the sheets of wood together..then use super 77 to glue straight on...still need mineral spirits to get it off portions of rhe wood not covered in painters tape.
By a soft pencil, he means something in the range of the B's. 9B is the softest I've found in the derwent pencil brand that he was using. HB is the middle of the road normal pencil hardness. Higher number H's are harder, provide crisper lines, but are very light in terms of value, but hard on the paper and can gouge it. #themorethatyouknow
I use the old prison tattoo system sometimes....use the cheap gel under arm deodorant applied direct to wood...place pattern face down and rub to transfer the ink to the wood. This works better on light colored and blonde wood.
LOL boomers never herd of computers LOL. You just buy a saw and load the image into photoshop and it cuts it LOL. These boomers are so funny, welcome to the 21st century
This is a great video for starting out and learning how to get patterns to the wood as needed to work with them Thank You.
Effective yet simple solutions to overlay pattern on blank wood to scroll. Thank you.

Just bought a scroll saw, and thanks for showing me how to get started.

Thank you!! This is going to help me so much!!
Thank you for this amazing and useful video
Best vid on affixing patterns - thank you for doing this vid - wondering how just placing the pattern on the wood then clear taping over it might work
Thanks! straight forward and informative!
Great tips, thanks for sharing your techniques.

Does the adhesive from the tape or the glue cause your blade to gum up?

Wonderful tips, thanks.
Masking tape (blue painters tape is getting expensive!) and for smaller projects I get FedEx labels to print on.
PRESS AND SEAL!?? I’m trying that tomorrow!
If you’re not going to scroll it will the acetone method eventually rub off your wood?
Hi new to the channel I’m just wondering what would be a good website to go to to order Blades for scroll saw with a big selection thank you
Excellent and informative video too btw. Thank you for sharing.
Great video👍🏻👍🏻
Any suggestion on attaching a large ( 4 feet long ) name pattern on to wood so it doesnt fall apart half way thru the cutting process .
I normally stack cut and use painters tape to hold the sheets of wood together..then use super 77 to glue straight on...still need mineral spirits to get it off portions of rhe wood not covered in painters tape.

I like using the blue or green tape.
ROFL!! Talk about thorough! Is there any other transfer methods that you missed?
thank for sharing
Is school glue and stick on glue safe for wood?
I prefer the painters tape and glue stick method.
I spray both the pattern & wood then glue directly to wood, mineral spirits soon gets rid of the pattern when finished.Can't get any easier than that.
I use the old prison tattoo system sometimes....use the cheap gel under arm deodorant applied direct to wood...place pattern face down and rub to transfer the ink to the wood. This works better on light colored and blonde wood.
I use 32in tv trace on paper cop and trac on wood carbon steel
Are there paper types better then another?
I just use regular copy/printer paper.
My method that work is diluted with water for every 100 grams of white glue PVA 30% of water pass with brush on wood and paste the printed follha.
I find that xylene works better than acetone.
