I am also a Steve Good fan and my scroll saw work has really advanced since I started reading his daily blog and watching all of his videos. Good job on the demo.
Awesome Tom! For squaring off the table I get a scrap piece of wood same size as I intend to cut. Do about a 1/2 inch cut inward. Take it out, put the cut line behind the blade and hold it close to the saw blade. Two things. You should be able to see if the cut is off to one side or the other or straight, and your blade should easily move in and out without the machine running. I will even turn my practice piece of wood upside down to double check. I no longer need any other tools to misplace! 😉 I hope this is understandable! Good video! Volume is great also! Yes to Steve Good! He is awesome! A fun way to start my day. 🤠 Suzanne
I have used Olson Blades for many years I use other brands most all are good I have the DeWalt scroll saw but keep going back to my 1986 Hegner Poly Max 3 I have tried several different scroll saws since the late 70’s but my Hegner is my pick Great video great job on the 1 1/2” oak looks fantastic 👍
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ I have spent way more on trying different scroll saws thinking I could find something comparable to my Hegner some cheaper some pretty pricey an to me nothing came close thanks for all the work you put into your videos
Thanks for Watching Lisa! If your really serious and plan to scroll allot than the Excalibur. If your an every once in a while scroller like me then the DeWalt will work just fine
Nice project Tom! Any of my scrolling in oak has been in thinner stock. I use a RBI saw I've had for years. I'll have to try thicker stock sometime. I read Steve's blog daily.
Great job, I have been scrolling for years and I use 3M 45 adhesive spray (safe for photos). Then I take the pattern off by hitting it slightly with an inexpensive heat gun. A little mineral spirits for the glue and let it dry. After doing many fretwork projects I find this to be the best way.
just a simple tip----if you use the spray----just get a can of paint thinner-----put some in a spray bottle and give a simple shot over the paper pattern and let let stand for a min. or so and then the paper will come off easy and to get all the glue off again a simple shop of spray over it---the glue will come off easy and the thinner will dry quickly and not affect the wood -
Thanks for Watching Todd! For this thickness, alway as fast it will go… I change the blade every letter or so especially in this oak otherwise it will burn
Your DeWalt arm does not stay up because one of the Hex nuts on the inside needs to be tightened, this is something you should do at least once a year as part of your "Tune up" of your saw. Look on it like you would your car and take some "T" handle hex keys and open the side and tighten all your hex nuts. Lots of videos on how to do this. Takes about 30 min to do! I've done this for my scroll saw club members and their saws.
Thanks for watching Michael! Appreciate the tip! Is this also why I have vibration at high speed? Used to have the Delta “C” arm was definitely my favorite
Instead of using painter's tape, go to Walmart and get some transparent shelving paper. It's hella cheap and works better than painter's tape to stop burns (it's a lot cheaper). As a matter of fact, its what Steve is using now instead of painter's tape. You're welcome.
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ No problema. Lemme know when you do a video on 3d cuts using your scroll saw. I'm in the process of making 3D chess pieces with mine. Working with my saw is like therapy for me.

that blade has to be either very dull or a cheap one--------get rid of the olsen and get good German blade that is precision milled ---it will cut that oak like butter and will let you spin around at the corners----------
Thanks, Tom. Your kind words are appreciated. Nice job on the video. Keep them coming.
Steve Good Thanks Steve! I appreciate all that you do!
That’s an incredible piece you made Tom! I came to see how the Dewalt tool worked but was very impressed by your craftsmanship. Great work!
Thanks for watching Simon!
Try using 123 blocks for squaring the blade. Great work and wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for Watching John! Appreciate the feedback

It looks AMAZING 🤩 Definitely great work for first project. I’m looking to getting into scroll saw woodworking. Thanks for the video.

Hi Mr. Horsman. Try Elmers Rubber cement to adhere your patterns on after applying the blue tape. Less messy and cost less. GREAT JOB!
Thanks for watching Jack! Excellent tip!
I just use kids glue stick.

Sorry if this was answered in the video I'm a little too 80hd for 16 minutes. What speed do you run that DeWalt at cutting that Hardwood

Just pick up a machinist 1×2×3 block. It will fit in around the blade area an ensure you have your blade perpendicular to the table at 90 degrees. ✌ 😃
Thanks for Watching James! Great idea! Thanks for sharing
Man you did a great job!!
Thanks for Watching!
i bought the same saw and i cant even get the blades in the slots,,dont seem like they are long enough
Thanks for watching,,,, works for me,,did you read the directions? Have the right blades? I would suggest that you call or email customer service
hello can you help me What to buy Hegner MULTICUT 2 S, or Pegas SCP21CE 21 '' (535mm)
Thanks for watching! I think both machines will work well. The Hefner has been around longer than the Pegas
Great job!!!!
Thanks Karen! I appreciate you watching!
Steve Good is a Pro!
Yes he is!

Thanks for watching Hank! 5/4 stock with is 1 1/4”
Slow speed on thick material?
Thanks for watching! 3/4 speed
What size blade are you using a 6 inch or longer
Thanks for Watching! 6”
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ cool thank you much
What type of blade are you using?
Thanks for watching! Using Olsen blades for 1” or thicker hardwood
you dont need that arm bar just tighten the bolt on the left side and the arm will stay up
Thanks for Watching! I will give that a try, Thank you!
What is the model number of the saw?
Thanks for watching! It’s the only one They make

You could be cutting half that thickness and the artwork would still look just as nice.

Disappointed by the lack of actual sawing being done on the train in the video.
