Steve Curtis Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Kevin, What an awesome story, Wish all of us scrollers have clients like you have, we would all be so motivated into making so many things. Most of the time we only make about $1 an hour for our work. When I retire, I will have to change that. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Keep a bucket of water next to the saw Kev I can see smoke coming from it,Well done. I was a terror on the scroll saw in those years .I had to beat boredom ,and TV was not the answer. Only thing i burnt up on one of my good-good saws was the circuit board.My modified foot switch would shut it on an off so many times in a second to many times it fried it.I loved that saw .that was the only way you could have hurt it too.It was built like a tank."craftsman 18" c-arm scroll saw.

Steve Curtis Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I use to get my wood free as well, since all the lumber yard around me closed, The only place I can get it now is the cabinet makes place and they are so limited on scrap, which is good for them, but not for me. LOL can anyone give out some hints on getting free scraps? I buy mine from Amazon, but that will not last long. Yes I to count my blessings as well. We have been getting plenty. We just need to feed our hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for, which i haven't yet is coffin makers in your town .They are very picky and throw out primo wood.Only problem i hear is you have to get on a waiting list and take a truck load at a time .My good cabinet scrap supplyier moved again .He was the best!11 ply plywood.
