It's about time I put my new scroll saw to good use, i've only had it about 4 months and never used it

Terry, after seeing your pens on the WOW site I had to investigate further and found this pen turners site which by the way I like very much. Your pictures are worth a thousand words and I want to give this a try.
Great job on the pens and congrats on making the WOW cover.

hah Alan as soon as I saw the irn-bru my eyes went straight to where you live! Funnily enough, having seen an American guy on utube doing similar with coke cans, That was to be my next project. I will have to pinch my wifes coke cans. We, you and I could use girders! What adhesive did you use?

Hi Terry,
- many years ago I made a scroll saw, I called it a jigsaw. I used the up and down mechanism from an old knackered hand sewing machine. Powered by a washing machine motor I used it to fret out Welsh loving spoons. I also made a few gypsy caravan models so I used it for them also. I had a woodscrew fitted so used it as a chuck to turn the wheels.
Now not long after I bought a scroll saw and it has been sitting unused. Now Terry has inspired me to do some pens like his. So my idea about not getting rid of tools you don't use has paid off.

 

[Buckeye]

The sure fire way of needing a tool that you haven't used for years is to get rid of it.

I like the idea of Coke cans instead of veneer. So many ideas out there!

 

[Penpal]

At first blush from the glue up I thought all those clamps then why not spring clips then I rememberd a bulk buy for quilting by Wilma so many years ago of those small clamps and how easy to judge just the right pressure in clamping they have been valuable to me she gave them to me in later years. Using Exotic is proof positive of your prowess mate he only handles quality product.

Peter.

Hi Terry, very beautiful!
What do you use... Scrollsaw or bandsaw?
Thanks

 

[Scots Bill]

I tried my scroll saw but having used zebra wood I found it hard going, so switched to a bandsaw with a narrow blade, things went quicker then. So Marco probably bepends on the hardness of the wood, or the quality of your scroll saw, mine is not an expensive one.

Marco I use a scroll saw.

 

[Scots Bill]

I have used a bandsaw with a narrow blade as well as my scroll saw. As Woody explained. Think he said he got the idea from Terry.
