@@Mytoya2 I ordered a web 16" scroll saw

[@billholder253]

Saw a video the other day where a magnetic advertising sign, as used on automobiles for advertising, was being used on the table top of the scroll saw. On one end of the sign, a small hole was made for zero clearance. Then the sign was rotated and mad flush on the ends & a larger hole was made for the bigger size scroll saw blades. The Seyco scroll saw company sells a ST21-B21 SEYCO'S Magnetic Table Cover , 28.5" length for around $24.00. But I believe one can get a magnetic advertising sign cheaper that will fill the area for their top cheaper else where. And these will have a slick surface on one side so the pattern will move more freely while cutting. Just a thought one might want to look into..

[@Mytoya2]

Thank you! For posting the infor those that want to purchase it. I've tried magnetic sheets and I prefer the cards. 🤗

Getting ready to buy a scroll saw, and your ideas are priceless!!!

[@StevenVacher]

You're clearly very accomplished on the scroll saw, your cornering technique is superb. The blue painters tape is a useful trick that I've used before, but your zero clearance hack is a new (and great) one for me 👍

[@Mytoya2]

Hi there Steven. Thank your kind comments! Please let me know how the zero clearance hack works for you.

[@StevenVacher]

@@Mytoya2 will do for sure, it’s really annoying when you have to stop a cut because those little bits get caught in the bottom plate.

Hi ...I just received my scroll saw and this video was very helpful. What software do you use for registration? tank you

[@Mytoya2]

I use silhouette to make patterns. There is also inkscape. Both are free programs you can use.

[@shellyparker9680]

Do you glue your pieces together for the finished project? If so what glue do you use?

[@Mytoya2]

Hi there, I glue my pieces with Starbound gap filler thick and Titebond 2 premium wood glue.

Can you tell me what program you use to make & print your patterns on? I have design space but it is limited on size.

Just watched and subscribed to your video. What is the purpose of the playing card and what blades do you use? Nevermind, just watched your zero clearance table video. Lol

[@Mytoya2]

If you are scrolling tiny letters or intricate shapes they will fall down into the hole where the blade is then onto the floor and may get lost. The hole you make in the card is so small nothing will get through it. I use flying dutchman blades. They are great blades and have been around forever so I've never felt the need to try any others. Thank you for following! I hope this info is useful to you. How long have you been scrolling and who are you on Instagram?
