In the old days when we had a gasoline powered
washing machine ( really old days ) my older brother
tied a gallon of cream to the agitator to churn butter.
He was caught and the story does not hace a happy
ending.

I guess your website is down again, Paul, 'cause I haven't been able to log on for three days now. But, this thread couldn't have come at a better time for me! I was looking for a way to thoroughly mix some old bottles of dope as I prepare to paint my Guillows Spitfire. I actually was contemplating the orbital sander idea, but figured it would be hard to hold everything together. Anyway, last night I used the scroll saw to mix up several 4 oz. bottles of dope, and pigment that I'd never seen fully come off the bottom of the jars is now well mixed in! Nice!!

So, I looked at what you did ... very nice. I have a much simpler saw ... the cheapest Craftsman model of about 15 years ago. It's not variable speed, which worried me at first, especially since I was using 4 oz dope bottles. But, as you say ... let's get to it. I just hoped I didn't turn out to be the dope!
My saw has an exposed upper arm, so it was easy to get to. I used a foam rubber cushion between the arm and the bottle, and wrapped the bottle to the arm with two good size lengths of duct tape.
As I said before, it worked great. It didn't even seem to hard on the saw. Of course, mine has cheap oil impregnated bronze bushings rather than ball bearings.

edit: Oh yeah, and I did one bottle at a time.
