I bought a pinless blade adaptor via Bunnings around about Dec 2007.

The part number you need is FBA - (stands for flat blade attachment).

I don't know how you might get one now.

Try ...

Horse,

I have one. I choose it for the price (cheaper), the power and the brand name. It is my first scrollsaw, so I could only compare reviews/advertising to make a selection

I found...

I believe Milky Pine, may also be called cheesewood, and as Barry_White has said patternmakers use/have used it.

If like me you don't know what a pattern maker does - at least one avenue of...

Adam,

I am still finding my feet with woodworking, but at the moment, I am looking at combining woodcarving with the scrollsaw. I have seen some pieces where a bowl has been carved, but I expect...

notdumbblonde,

I might be interested in trying something like this, but I have a few commitments that will keep me busy until Christmas. Do you have any details on how many you are after, when...

Schaf,

What tools do you use to carve these excellent bottlestoppers?

And how do you carve the features? You say that you don't feel that you could carve from a photo yet, but these seem to...

Schaf,

I have also tried other avenues and been refered to a scientist at the CSIRO who is...

Could anyone please advise on a glue (or glues) that would be suitable for joining rungs to the legs of a chair made from Yellow Sirius ( may also be known as Mackay Cedar – apparently the Mackay...

When I am carving with a Dremel, I use leather golfing gloves ( or leather driving gloves). The driving gloves seem to be harder to come by now days.

Don't use them for shifting larger rougher...

I have recently bought a Triton scrollsaw TSS16 (set up for pinned blades) for $379, and a attachment to fit plain blades (FBA - Flat Blade Attachment) for $24 via the Bunnings Special Orders...

It amazing what isn't supplied anymore. Especially when you go looking for things that have stood the test of time.

Maybe, I just had a similar experience to you. I was looking for what turned...

I think I saw the Triton Superjaws at Bunnings the other day (either just before or after Christmas) for about $169. I have found that if you let Mitre 10 know what Bunnings are selling it for they...

I know that some timbers can be more of an irritant than others, when working with them. Are there any that should not be used for food preparation?

I am like you trying to use wood that was at hand to start carving with. I found that the Guild of experienced carvers that I was picking up tips from, quickly recommended that I get good carving...
