Crosstimbers Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Howdy folks! I'm Steve. I recently became a member and I would like to introduce myself. I've been looking around on the fourm for awhile and liked what I've found so much that I wanted to join up. I live in Texas, just outside Waco. I call my woodshop Cross Timbers Wood Crafts. I've been a woodworker for a long time but I didn't start scrolling until 2016. I've still got a long way to go before I can call myself an accomplished scroller, but I'm learing as I go. I wish I'd found this fourm back in 2016. My first scroll saw was an old Delta. It was difficult to change blades and vibrated so bad that I didn't want to use it. So I bought a DeWalt 788 (which I promptly renamed Lemon 788). It had problems right out of the box. There was always something wrong with it. I know there's many who like the 788, I guess I just got a bad one. Now I have a Seyco ST-21, and I must say that my cutting has improved with the Seyco. I just need more time on it. Well, now that you know a little about me, I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all and be part of the group. amazingkevin, Dave Monk, RabidAlien and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi there Texas.... I'm from Colorado. I've had a few saws including a Harbor Freight that I had to chase across the room every time I turned it on. I've had an RBI Hawk for about 15 years now and love it. Welcome to the Village.

amazingkevin Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Welcome friend!!! Sorry you had troubles with my go to saw, I had 12 of them at one time. Bought them 1 at a time when I was working, cheap. After using inferior saws for so long someone traded my beginning intarsia's for their saw. I fell deep in love with it! Yes they need repair now and then as any saw but regreasing the bearings with car axle grease has increased the saws life span tremendously!!! Keep coming back all comments are welcome!!!

Janie, I have some really fond memories Colorado. The first time I tried fly fishing for rainbow trout was at Wolf Creek Pass, beautiful place! Maybe I'll get to go back there someday.

Getting it done was a bit of an ordeal. Now I just need to learn Pinterest (I'm way behind the curve social media wise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
