    Picked up the scroll saw and stand few weeks ago. Due to a shipping snafu, the saw came before the stand. Set up the saw on my heavy oak kitchen table, made the adjustments suggested in the manual and gave it a go. It ran quiet with no vibrations at about half speed. When I turned up past that, it started rocking and rolling. Had I tried the nickle test, it would have made change...LOL. I was a bit disappointed. Almost ready to send it back, the stand came in. Assembled the stand, mounted the saw on the stand and tried it again. Voila! it ran smooth and quiet through all speeds. I love the ease on changing blades and the tilting head as opposed of the table tilt. The big test was how it cut! Made a couple of segmented pieces as well as a puzzle, cut like a dream. When I can split a pencil line with the blade I know I have a good saw. The saw came with three lower blade holders which made it great to switch blades when they became dull. The test will be how long it runs without any issues. I had my old Porter Cable for quiet a few years with no problems.
  2. Made this one for my friends new babies room. The whole room is a Jumanji theme. Made from walnut and ash. Measures 21" L by 6" W.
  3. 6 1/2 " high by 5 1/2 " wide.
  4. When I get my mystery box of wood from Ocooch, I get some wood that is split or knotted. There's always something to make with them.
  5. Thanks All! I wish I could sell some, just to recover some of my supply costs.
  6. Made from a piece of split red cedar. When it dries I'll add a magnet an put it on the fridge.
  7. You've heard of Stonehenge, well this is Woodhenge. I really hate to throw out my scrap...LOL!
  8. Some 1/4 " walnut, maple and steve good pattern. Changed it up a bit. Made the base square and added the yin-yang. Might have to add a light backer, to see it better.
  9. When shaping parts, dust collection is always a concern. I made this up with 1/2 inch pine and 1/4 inch ply. Just connect your vac and no annoying wood dust flying around. It also works great on my drill press.
  10. Inspired by a friends pregnancy I made this out of 3/8 oak scrap wood. I call it "birth".
  11. Originally it was only the jag pattern from Steve Good. Cut it and thought it was a bit plain, so I took some wood scraps and added a few things. Came out ok.
  12. Hi Lucky2: Never used the Ex21. But appears to be the same as Jet. My understanding is the Jet is the new EX21? The inlay worked fine. Could have used a smaller blade to reduce the kerf on the cheese board. I usually use the Olson 5R blade for most of my projects.
  13. The jet was fantastic. Due to the lack of noticeable vibration, the small detail cuts were easy. I would compare it to my old Dewalt(Canada mfg.), as far as power and ease of cutting all types of wood. The jet has more adjustments for fine tuning (blade tension and movement) than the Dewalt. The plus with the jet is the ease of blade changes and the top arm adjustment which allows the arm to stay up when doing inside cuts. It works a lot better than my old Porter Cable saw. My Porter Cable worked fine until the vibration issue became a problem. The PC was over 4 years old, not worth fixing. Bar any problems, this will be my last saw! Here's a couple more I did...
  14. If you go to the bottom of the page (scroll saw ready hard wood) you will see it. Unfortunately, they are out of stock at this time.
  15. I've been purchasing my baltic birch ply from Ocooch hard woods. I noticed they had a deal on hardwood seconds. These are pieces that might have some defects and can't be sold as "scroll saw ready" wood. They might have splits, knots, off sizes or need sanding. I bought the 20 lb box of domestic hardwood seconds. What I got was great...received some red cedar, black walnut, maple and oak. These would be great for segmentation, intrasia or general experimenting. I'm going to try their exotic wood seconds when they have more. http://ocoochhardwoods.com/scroll_saw_lumber.php
