bigcreekdad got a reaction from GuntherMT in Triton Cross Section By Bigcreekdad
A few more planks added. Used cherry this time (a new piece, with no breakage problems). Need to decide at this point whether to continue with cherry, or alternate with walnut. Anyone have any opinions?
Also, when cutting planks with the Byrnes saw, what blade do you use?

Pete...not sure. I've tried gun oil on some test pieces and that brings out color as well. Ever try it?

I was intending to use cherry for the inner planking, but yet another piece of cherry broke as I was feeding a piece into my Byrnes thickness sander. I'm convinced I picked up some bad cherry at Woodcraft. So, I decided to use walnut (also from Woodcraft). No problems with this, and layed 4 pieces. Wow...do I love the contrast of the walnut and the cherry!
What do you think?

Have faired and sanded inside and out. The photo suggests otherwise in places, but all ribs are pretty even on both sides. Still a minor amount to do, but I'm starting to cut the inner plants and flooring. Was going to do most of the inner in cherry, but I'm still having breakage problems. I've broken enough in this hobby to know these breaks are not from undue handling. Bought the cherry at Woodcraft. Might just have to buy from the suppliers others use on this sight.
Decided to use walnut instead for at least the inner planking closest to the keel. BTW, the two pieces you see are not attached.
Any way...Onward!!

Bit the bullet and rebuilt the broken frames. Required me to remove all frames from the keel, and thus build ,a new keel as well. All frames mounted, and added several spacers for holding proper spacing as well as added strength. All drying now. Will need to do some serious sanding to fare everything up.
In the meantime, need some suggestions for the inner planking and decking. I'm going to use pear from the outer framing. I have some holly, and plenty of cherry, but would love to hear some thoughts from others.

Give up...been there, done that, and it just gets worse.
Drives my wife absolutely nuts, so she stays out of my den....so, it's not a completely bad thing.

bigcreekdad got a reaction from Canute in Proxxon Scroll Saw Problems DSH 37090 UPDATED
Saw is about 15 months old. Today it started changing speed during a cut. Stopped it, restarted and the variable speed dial at first didn't work (no change in speed) then it did. I started cutting again and it start to slow down mid cut. Reinstalled the blade, just to do something, but it continued.
Anyone experience this?
Moved to this saw from a basic Sears unit. Thought I was stepping up. Pretty disappointing.
Update....found the speed adjuster loose. I retightened, and also found I had the recently installed new with pins, incorrectly tightened with the adjustments that are used with pines blades. Seems to be operating OK now.
I've got some cutting to do tomorrow, so I'll see if works OK.
