scrollsaw tutorial cutting the word Loved. there is a Hack at the end of the video that 1 of my subscribers sent me. see more of my work on Instagram. @ mytoyaNcalifornia
So glad to hear you've found use of my videos. I also do 1 on 1 scrollsaw help. Feel free to contact me on my instagram page. I'm under MytoyaNcalifornia.
Hi there, welcome to the scroll saw community! It looks easy now because I've been doing this for 20 years but it was not easy in the beginning. When I started I used books to learn how to scroll. I read every book I could find on scroll sawing. I did not know how to use a computer back then. Once you learn how to scroll it's a lot like walking. At first you stumble but with practice you enjoy creating any and everything you want. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I'm also on Instagram under mytoyaNcalifornia. Happy scrolling!
Reminds me of my sewing machine 😂 thanks for this tutorial I never scroll before but I am looking forward to using my new machine my husband gifted me. I told him I wanted to begging working with wood quilt
Hi there, this girl saw really does work almost like a machine. Please feel free to contact me if you have any scroll saw questions in the future. Let me know when you do your first project. I would love to see it.
I loved the real time speed of your video. It really shows the grace and positioning of your hands and fingers. It was like a beautiful ballet. Your calm narration just added to the charm of your work. Thank you. BTW I've been actively scrolling for about 4 months now, although Ive had a scroll saw much longer. Now I am learning what I did wrong all those years before, which make the process much more enjoyable. Glen
Hi there and welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind comment! 🤗. So glad to hear you are scrolling and enjoying it. Isn't it amazing when you look back at where you started? What kind of scrolling do you enjoy doing? I enjoy fret work.
I started scrolling in February of 2020, and it was perfect timing considering how the rest of the year went! Love it. Went from a Ryobi to a Delta within 2 months. So much fun. I love how you show how you get into the very tight corners by backing out a bit and turning it around. LOVe that tip. And the putting a hole for the outline part of the word makes SO much sense instead of cutting from an edge. LEARNED TWO KEY THINGS! Thank you for sharing this! MORE!!!
I know you loved the way the delta felt. Isn't scrolling addicting? I've done lots of crafts in my lifetime. None has made me as happy as scrolling. So glad found something useful in the video. Thank you for taking the time to comment! Keep in touch!
Great video I enjoyed it I have been scrolling for over 10yrs I have had some health issues lately but my new wife is wanting me to start back I like making spiritual things God Bless and be safe
So sorry to hear of your recent health problems. Sounds like you are getting better and ready to get back to scrolling. I love doing inspirational projects as well. I would love to see some of your work! feel free to contact me. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
Hi I have been scrolling for about a year. It is my therapy!! I have had to learn everything from you tube and I would have to say your videos are wonderful!!!!! I can’t stay on the line the whole time like you do! I’m always wandering off.
Hi there, when Scrolling depending on what you're doing, pick a hand to be in control. When 1 hand is holding down the wood the other is driviing. Practice using each hand as the driver while the other guides your wood.
@@Mytoya2 I only scrolled about 1 year, then medical problems hit. I had to have double cataract surgery in 2020, then heart procedures in 2021. I am getting stronger, and hopefully will be able to scroll when the weather is a little better. I have to work outdoors. I have considered bringing the saw into my craft space, but not sure I want to deal with the dust collection. I had a saw from Harbor Freight, it died very quickly. My husband got me a better one from Lowe's, but I don't remember the name right now.
Been scrolling since 2019. Started on my dad's WEN which for the money was OK. Then I bought my Dewalt. OMG I can not believe how much I love working on it;. Now when I am looking for images I just search for silhouettes and then let my mind wander as to whether or not I can cut it or make it work. Recently just did an Iron Man Avengers wall art piece. two separate pieces of wood a front and a back, red and gold. Put a couple holes in and added some lights.
I can hear you passion for scrolling in you post. I totally understand. There is something about being able to create whatever you want. I would love to see you work. I am on instagram under MytoyaNcalifornia. Thanks for sharing your story!
I have had my scroll saw for about eights months, but I have not been using it consistently. I had cataract surgery in October which prevented me from using it (sawdust) and I am having the other eye done next week. Then I will get started back. I hope I can get to where I can cut as smooth and cleanly as you. Oh...you have beautiful hands.
Excellent! I have seen folks who buy the large sheet of that magnetic material to "recover" their worn/scratched saw tables. Works great on all the saws with steel tables. Not so good on a Hawk.
Hi there! In one of my videos I try the magnetic sheet because one of my subscribers told me about it. I did not like it. Because for the price that sheet it doesn't last long. Little by little the hole starts to open up so then I would have to move it around to other parts of the sheet and would no longer have a completely smooth surface. I think the card trick works better for me. Thanks for the suggestion though!
@@penman145 make sure the saw you get accepts pinless blades. Also make sure to get a foot pedal so your saw will work almost like a sewing machine. When you are ready please get in contact with me if you have any questions at all. The blades I use are flying Dutchman scroll reverse. The one I use the most is the number five. I get them from the wooden teddy bear. Just look it up they have all kinds of scroll saw patterns blades and other things. Where are you located?
Could you do a beginners video, explaining the what and why, also lessons learned? Your wood doesn't move and your movement is like butter. Does the blade contribute to that? The wood? I know it's the skill. Your work is amazing.
Sure, I am working on a couple of beginner tutorials. I have questions for you. How long have you been scrolling, what kind of saw do you have and what type of projects are you interested in???
@@Mytoya2 thank you for your reply. I'm interested in making names/script, I love your infinity sign. I tried to do a small word 'goddess', maybe 9 inches by 5 inches. It just broke apart. The wood kept jumping, I didn't know how to hold such a small project, the order to cut things out for success. I also want to do people, trees, and animals. I have a Porter Cable saw. I just purchased it 3 days ago 😁. I bought the blade you mentioned in another video and girl, night and day. I am using a better quality wood vs the trash wood I was practicing on, again night and day. There aren't too many good teaching videos. Good videos but not teaching. So I am trying to teach myself 🤦♀️. I appreciate you giving of yourself. I will do assignments lol. I've been practicing daily. Mostly my turns. You mentioned on one of your pieces, 'you can't see where it starts or ends'. Magic! I need to know lol. Thank you 😊
Great video! That's a great idea about using the magnetic sheet for zero clearance. The playing card sounds like a great idea too! How do you attract the card to keep it from moving around? The blue tape? 😎
This video has me inspired to give the scroll saw another try. I only tried once and it was so scary to me! I bought the better blades (Flying Dutchman #5) and will run to Home Depot for some MDF. I have the Dewalt.
@@sheilaegeland - as it turns out, I had a little more fear than I anticipated, so I gave up. I wish you were local - you could have mine! I bought a laser and that seems to be more in my comfort zone.
Thank you so much! In all of my videos I've used a number five flying Dutchman scroll reverse. The blade is so flexible when it comes to materials it can cut smoothly. 🤗
Hey Mytoya2, have you ever been exposed to the self-stick shelf liner that is available at Walmart. A 36 foot roll that is 12" wide for about $6. It is far cheaper than using blue tape and comes right off with a heat gun. I, myself,use it and I also use 8.5 x 11 self stick shipping labels that are printable in my laser printer. About $10/100.
Hola amiga que buen video instructivo, que clase de hoja de sierras usas, y creo entender que el uso de cinta de embalaje facilita el corte de la madera
¡bienvenidos! La cinta de pintor azul ayuda a lubricar la hoja para que la madera no se queme y la hoja dure más. Usé un pergamino holandés volador número 5 al revés para la mayor parte de mi corte.
Calming to watch.20 Years! That is awesome.I am a day away of trying out my saw.I think I am going to like it.Tip to other beginners.Spend a bit more and buy a real decent saw.
Thanks for the video. Beginner here. Two weeks in on a Dewalt 788 using Pegas mg #3 and #5. I have a real problem with turns. That is where I am so hung up. Please help with a video strictly showing turns. I would appreciate it. Much love xo
Should I be able to do all the turns effortlessly with these blades as well? The blade always twists and get caught up In the wood and sometimes it will twist back but often will break and it’s not a clean turn.
used to saw and learned stack sawing saved some time. just tack some brads through the waste pieces . now that i retired i got the time but the eyes and hands are a little shaky .
I usually stack cut but I only need 1 of these. I am dreading the day when I can no longer scroll. My eyes are not cooperating some days. I picked is a magnifyer and it seems to help for now. What kind of saw did you have and what kind of scrolling did you like to do? Fretwork, intarsia, segmentation?
@@Mytoya2 no ,actually i have no phone either. just this computer. most of what i did came from wildwood designs. not really good with this puter either. wish i was.
Mytoya2, I’m still saving up to get a scroll saw, hoping to buy one by the mid to late February. Couple of a questions for you, what scroll saw do you use and what type and size of blade did you use for this project? trying to learn what I can before I get a scroll saw. Thank you! I absolutely enjoy your videos!
Connie Bryant Hi there, I have a dewalt 788 and a delta 20inch. I love both saws. I recommend either one of the 2. If not make sure you get a saw that does not need an adapter to use pinless blades. In this video I am using a Flying Dutchman #5 scroll reverse. If you are on Instagram please contact me there. I would love to chat with you more before you make a purchase. My name on Instagram is mytoyaNcalifornia. Hope that helps.
@@Mytoya2 thank you for your input, I appreciate that. I am looking at getting either one of those two scroll saws you mentioned. Can’t make up my mind witch one yet, will continue contemplating it until it’s time to buy. I’ll look you up on Instagram, I really don’t use it so don’t know my way around it very well. Thanks again!!
If the pattern is stuck down well, No. I have spray glued patterns on in the past and still had some paper flopping up an down at times, When I am working on a pattern I don't want to worry about lifting paper so I always use clear tape over my pattern. I say " your shop. Your rules" Hope this helped.
What saw do you have? And does the whole assembly fall off or does the blade keep slipping out? I would love to see pics. If you have an instagram my name there is mytoyaNcalifornia
@@Mytoya2 Is is a Shop Fox 19" and it the whole assembly that drops off. It is a typical blade holder made to hold pinless blades. And when using pinned blades these holders aren't used at all. I'm not on Instagram but I will see if I can find you there and add a picture.
@@Mytoya2 Got on Instagram and found you but don't know how to get picture to you. If you don't mind I have put a picture on my Instagram location at goldsmith160.
Hi there, I am. It familiar with that particular saw but this is one of the reasons I recommend getting a saw that does not need an attachment. It sounds like the part that holds the attachment may be the problem. Again I am not familiar with that saw. Do you mind if I video message you tomorrow?
Hi there, I'm using a # five flying Dutchman scroll reverse blade that I purchase from a company called The wooden teddy bear. They sell all kinds of scroll saw patterns blades and other accessories. I've been using this company for well over 15 years now. If you have any other questions or need any other help you can contact me on Instagram. That way we can actually FaceTime. Good luck with your saw!
Mytoya I have a Jet 22 scroll saw and I wonder how much vibration it should have. seems like at slow and high speed it works fine but vibrates alot in the middle speed area. Should I send it back? When I watch you doing it is seems vibration-less.
Hi Joseph, I've never seen or used a jet 22-in saw before. See how it works for you. If it works keep it. See if it has a return policy and if so how long do you have before you can't return it anymore. Again if it works for you keep it.
hi there, That's not a silly question. I have a Cameo Silhouette and I use it to make my patterns. You can also use Inkscape to create patterns. Inkscape is a free program you can download. From what I understand you can also download a version of Silhouette for free as well. If you find and download Silhouette please contact me on Instagram under MytoyaNcalifornia . After you have the program I can show you how to use it. It's sooooo easy. I would love to help!
Hi there, I am using a flying dutchman #5 scroll reverse. This is the size blade I use most. I order my blades from the wooden teddy bear. They have been around for years. They also has beautiful patterns, clock parts, acrylic an all kinds of other scroll saw goodies. Very good company!
@@Mytoya2 what type of wood do you find best for scroll sawing, so far I've tried 1/4 thick Birchwood with Olson spiral blades but am unsatisfied with the end result plus the Birchwood kind of warps after a bit of sitting
Hi there, I like to use 1/4inch or 1/2 inch MDF. I also use 1/2 inch sandi plywood. It's already really smooth. When I use plywood I make sure there is cardboard under it and I use the same #5 flying dutchman scroll reverse blade. This helps with splintering.
I also use walnut , paduk, lacewood and other species of wood but these days people are into the painted signs. I plan on going back to fretwork and using better wood.
