funeralguy82 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I have spent about a year now playing with a 16 inch craftsman I got from a trade-deal at the local pawn shop. My endless research on finding a smoother saw led me to this site... I have frequented Steve Goods website for quite some time and bought his flash drive of patterns! I hope soon I can sell enough of my other toys to buy a 16 inch Excalibur... not too expensive, but a definite upgrade! Then I can submit some worthy items into bragging rights! amazingkevin and Scrolling Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you log on often and respond to other posts, you will soon start to recognize some of the regular's names and soon you will find that you are so much in touch with us that you will understand that we are like a big world wide family of people who share their talents and ideas with one another. So continue to enjoy our site and to post your project under the 'bragging rights' section of the forum. Another quick way to get to know people here is to open up the 'Coffee house' forum and read what others are saying, to one another. It is fun of fun and interesting comments. So, I send you another WELCOME from warm and sunny Southern Arizona Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Welcome to the Village Jason. Your projects are excellent, just think how much better they would be with a better saw. But for now pull up a chair and make yourself at home. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Another Tennessee welcome to the Village Jason. Looks like you are doing fine work with the saw you have. Thanks for showing. Look forward to your participation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funeralguy82 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thanks for all the compliments and welcoming messages. My craftsman saw has treated me well... but I made the mistake of taking the scrollsaw 101 class at Woodcraft after getting familiar will the hobby. That Dewalt saw I used in class showed me that holding straight lines and cutting tight corners is MUCH EASIER without all the vibration. Now I’m ready to divorce craftsman! I love the idea of the Pegas saw with the pre-upgraded chucks... but convincing my wife to let me spend $800 is a chore I am afraid to tackle! Worst part about cheating on my craftsman with dewalt... every time I have a breakage or split in a piece... I can’t help but think... “that wouldn’t have happened if I had a better saw!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
