|  compound cuts Hi, today is my first day on this message board. I am fairly new to scroll sawing. I was wondering if someone can help. Iam looking for a better way to hold the piece of wood on the second cut other then tape. I managed to be somewhat successful but I found it very difficult to maintain. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Scroller777 |

| I tried clamping 2 boards on the sides of the work piece last week. A lot of people do it that way, but I have gone back to tape. I find it takes less speed moving the wood past the blade. It is like a lot of things, just practice. I would stick with simple stuff till you are comfortable compound cutting. I am doing a bunch of Great Danes that are cut with 3 pieces of wood each for the body. And it is a lot easier than it looks. Alan. |

| Tape seems to be the best way to go. If you are using painters tape it will tend to catch a bit in the blade slot on the table because of its thickness. It is also a bit rough so moving the piece around smoothly can be a bit awkward. I have used clear packing tape on occasion and that seems to make it easier to move the piece smoothly but harder to remove the tape afterwards. Your choice. sawdustus

| I just keep adding bits of packing tape which keeps everything intact until finished . Roger |

| Welcome scroller777.......this works great for me when I do compound cuts. Pieces of wood holding the project in place. It is especially good when you do small projects as I do.

| What I do is use the clear packing tape on the second side and tape it really REALLY tight. Make sure the tape sticks to the new top side pattern very tightly because the sawsdust will get into any void or crevice. THEN I add a jig similar to the clamps shown above to hold it all together. the combination of the two seems to work fine. Also shown is a closeup where I cut a notch to put the blade in for any outside cuts.

| Gill I went to the UK board and love the woodworker's chess set. Where do I find the pattern? What book is it from? Must go and check in my book collection. Diane

| Hi Diane The pattern is from Diane Thompson's Wooden Chess Sets You Can Make. It's got some great chess patterns and is well worth buying. There again, I reckon any patterns by Diane Thompson are worth buying  .Gill
