"I Love You" scroll saw pattern- www.stevedgood....

[@trollmomjo]

I just want to say I am new to woodworking and I love spiral scroll saw blades. I was having such a hard time with flat and then tried spiral. They work great! Thanks for the tips!

[@twopoolpeople]

Thanks for another great video! I have a good set of spiral blades that I've never used because of all the bad things said about them. Thanks to you, I'll HAVE to try them out.

[@Quietpartoutloud1971]

I have rejected spiral blades for many years, your advice is some of the best scroll saw info I've seen, thank you.

[@Insane-le9cu]

Glad to see this. Have heard everyone complaining about spiral blades for years. I use only spiral blades. Have for years. I find them easier to control, and therefore feel my finished work is cleaner and better. Thanks.

[@bon2198]

I have probably made close to 1000 puzzles all using a flat blade. Just ordered this evening some 2/0 spiral blades to see how well they can do the job. Part of the fun for me is the artistic spinning and skill set required to scroll saw. But if I can get the same result and be allowed to use bigger wood due to no swing then spiral might just be for me. Great video!

[@zaraking2711]

I am also a spiral blade user, I find them much easier to control the work. Thank you for sharing.

[@MajHunter]

Great video. I started using the scroll saw in December. I started with spiral blades but have experimented several times with flat blades. I find the spiral blades to be far superior for a beginner to use. The tip one widening the holes in the back is great and one I had not heard yet. I'm going to have to try that.

Hey Mike, thanks for the shout out in the video. Steve Good

[@MustachMike]

You are welcome Steve! We always appreciate your talent and hard work in Scroll Saw Art.!!!!

[@MrPoppadog1955]

Hey mike nice job, got to meet stumpy at Atlanta what a surprise when he said you were his dad I had no idea. He also said that you felt old at 60. Funny I'm the same age I totally understand keep up the good work really enjoy your channel.

[@cliffcarlo180]

I was shown how to cover the wood in painters tape, then attach the pattern in the usual way. Then cover the whole thing with clear packing tape. The clear tape on top greatly reduces pattern lift and also helps cool the blade. When finished the pattern and painters tape is so easy to remove. Also, the bellows aren't just for blowing the dust away, it also helps in keeping your blade cool when pointed directly at the blade.

[@michaelkolozsvari3575]

I can't wait to try this out! I've only used flat blades before, and this looks like a lot of fun (kind of like the ring saw I have for glass). I know that this is an old video, but thanks for putting it up!

[@katiedotson704]

Thanks a bunch, Mike. Spiral blades are giving me a challenge but I haven't given up. This should help.

[@richardclowes6123]

Hi Mr Mustache Mike, Loving your tutorials. I have ordered the Dremel MS20 moto saw scrolling tool. I know it's not a super dedicated tool but if I get good at it I can always upgrade. The one thing I can't seem to find is spiral blades for this model. The spiral blade looks like a user friendly piece of kit that could make life easier for the novice, maybe ??? What are your thoughts on this ???

[@symonf1966]

Good video. The live studio audience reaction at the end was great. It's surprising how many people you can get in to your workshop isn't it.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Great Video Mike, I ton of great info, i like starting my cuts, center out, to help prevent breakage, Great tips and Nice Project

[@Silent-G]

Great to see you again Mike!

[@laurencemcintosh4488]

Thanks, Mike. I am a new scroller and found this VERY helpful. BTW - I bought the same DeWalt 788 scroll saw that you have - It's great!

[@fransvullings6242]

I usually start in the middle of the figure and work outside, if I saw something wrong, I can usually correct this and it is less easy to break something off the figure.

[@MikeKapotsy]

Nice job Mike, pretty sure I met your twin in Atlanta! Good to see you back.

[@dnngskn62]

Really good info. Might try these blades again after watching this.

[@dwightgordon9354]

So do you have a video explaining where it is appropriate to use a spiral vs a flat, what the advantages/disadvantages are, and that sort of thing for the complete newbie?

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Great tips, just wish the made pin-end spiral blades so I could use them with my scroll saw!

[@rogerk9050]

Thnx for your expertise MM. Also, your tips are very helpful.

[@billholly4317]

Very nice Mike I'm sure Stumpy was really surprised when you gave it to him. Ha.

[@robertbarcus1963]

Lots of awesome tips. Looking forward to next video.

[@goolamchohan6592]

Thanks for da wonderful demo.so beautifully explained.five star for you,

[@marywood8241]

Just learning to use my scroll saw! Can I get these blade's art Home Depot or do I have to oder them? I love this pattern! Thank you for sharing!

[@brianigielski9734]

Great job Mike. I'm going to give spiral blades another chance. Any reason you prefer load the blade from the bottom?

[@StumpyNubs]

+Brian Igielski - Loading from the bottom is easier because you only have to release the top blade clamp, which is easier to get at then the one beneath the table. And it also allows for widening the holes on the bottom side of the work piece, as shown in the video.

[@leksey7870]

Great thread, very nice. Like!

[@mike48632]

Awesome work , you have a new subscriber here and I am new to woodworking also .

[@cliffcarlo180]

I sometimes wonder why such a small drill bit is used to make an entry point for the blade. I use the largest drill bit I can get away with, staying within the lines of course. Makes pushing the blade up through the workpiece so much easier.

[@lancesurgeon7614]

Stache, I didn't know you felt that way. LOL!!!

[@RedLightning]

Awesome video but i just got one problem. I just started scrolling and i notice the blade in my scroll saw has 2 little prongs on both ends. this makes it nearly impossible to get it through many drill holes in small spots so i was wondering if my saw will work with any blades without the 2 sided prongs? thank you

[@vtxrider1800r]

What speed did you have a the saw on? I have 788 too and going to try to use the spiral blades I've been buying but never used.

[@ZaarsShed]

Thank you for these series! What kind of rotary tool do you use?

[@hobie1dog]

great video, again

[@smnhpkns]

great stuff as always, thanks guys.

[@robertevans6481]

Great tips there Mike

[@discgolftrainnut]

I started with a flat blade for my first 1/2-dozen projects and after trying spirals (Flying Dutchman) I haven't used a flat blade since. Probably never will.

[@chrismooney5118]

Great info! Thanks for sharing!

[@fonzwalmat]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jeffreyford4568]

Nice job!

[@z0ne333z]

thank you

[@shawnhill9811]

where can I get templates such as this one.

[@MorRobots]

mike did you cut the rockler logo off your apron?

[@StumpyNubs]

+MorRobots - No. That was not a Rockler apron.

[@MorRobots]

+Stumpy Nubs (James Hamilton) ahhh I was correct in the opposite direction? lol

[@StumpyNubs]

+MorRobots *wink-wink ;)

[@lorrietoole2115]

Help!!!.. I recently purchased a scroll saw and am primarily working with copper sheets. I'm trying to find the best size scroll saw and no one can seem to help me. I am currently using Bosch 46 TPI and it's too small I think? Do you work with Metals as well?

[@simonaldridge82]

thanks mike

[@DKDonson]

Thanks

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Very nice Scroll Saw sir i like it but i don't like the price my friend ha ha ha :)

[@StumpyNubs]

+TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP - You can work just fine with an inexpensive scroll saw. In fact, the first video in this series is all about comparing an expensive saw to a cheap one and how you can do the job with either: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJa4k6yhdrWdrM0 Mustache Mike is no scroll saw snob! :)

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Very nice video my friend i like it it's true sir can you subscribe to my channel sir i need you my friend ha ha ha lol :)

[@brianigielski9734]

+Stumpy Nubs (James Hamilton) used a cheap saw for 10 years. Getting more serious. Bought a used 788 for $225. Great saw. Took my work to another level.

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Very nice sir and very good :)

[@juliefeltman398]

thank you for sharing I also use spiral blades all the time keep scrolling all!!!

[@johnwaites6803]

I don't recommend spiral blades on MDF unless you like a fluffy cut.

[@bukanpedia5907]

Very true

[@snakebait5118]

Where's Stumpy?

[@billconnelly4459]

Love the video but NOT a fan of the spiral blade. Seems to me (And I have been scrolling for years now) the spiral blade was made for those who do not have the knowledge and or discipline to CHANGE out to a smaller blade for a more detail cut. Skill is needed to use the right blade for the right cut and even with the project you did in this video a one blade for the entire piece depending on the wood... sometimes different blades are needed to get the best results. Just say'n... no offence.
