I get email all the time asking which scroll saw blades to buy. I have always privately recommended Flying Dutchman blades. If you have been scrolling for some time you probably have your favorite blade you like to use. If you are new to the hobby it can be a challenge to find the blades you like. Either way do yourself a favor and check out www.mikesworkshop.com .
I have purchased my blades from Mike for a long time and I can tell you I have never been disappointed with the quality of the product or Mike's service. Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement but it's not. It's just my recommendation to try and help scrollers improve their work and make it more enjoyable. A good saw won't make a cheap blade better but a good blade can make a cheap saw seem better. Upgrade your saw with a Flying Dutchman blade.

This little round box is 5" in diameter. It is just a little multipurpose box but to me it looks like a cake on a cake plate. Sounded like a good name to me so I called it Cakebox.
I used 1" thick stock for the box walls but you could make it deeper if you like. It's difficult to see in the pictures but the box sits on feet that are tab and slot construction.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
