Welcome to the Village! I don't know anything about that saw, but if the price is right, pick it up. If it runs well, maybe you get a great deal. If not, just know that the journey has begun. Good luck and happy scrolling.

Welcome to the Villiage!

Haha, I never saw the fishing reel. I agree, I'm getting my license and heading for the lake (no beaches nearby.

Leave it.

Looks great. And I'm not a fan of stylized projects.

If your hanging it in your shop, a simple, narrow frame of contrasting wood would look nice. The veining looks great. As for staining, Minwax makes a pre-stain conditioner that seems to reduce the blotchiness. It helps but not perfect.

I don't know, Barb, it looks like you are collecting dust. Just not where you want it.

That is really cool! Is it your pattern? Can you share it?

Welcome from Ohio!

Thanks, Ray. I put my glasses on and now see the decimal point.

I bought the CS for my Jet saw about 4 years ago but haven't installed it yet. Mine cost about $80.

My first scroll saw was a gift from my lovely wife back in 2001. (I blame her for the addiction.) never knew what the saw was used for so I searched on line. I made a pattern from a photo of my son and cut it from 3/4" plywood. Ugh! Used cheap blades but I guess it came out well enough.

Welcome to The Village, Don! If you weren't retired I'd say you don't have time for fishing.

Hey, Shaun, I'm not familiar with those blades but you should ce able to cut very tight curves with any blade. Believe it or not, there is a top and bottom to most blades. If installed upside down you will have difficulty cutting and controlling the blade. If you rub your finger along the blade one direction will feel sharper. The sharper side should point down. Everyone will chime in on different blades, but it boils down to what works best for you. @Denny Knappensells Pegas blades and will be glad to help you make good choices.
