I really enjoy Russ Beard's pattern but have never cut one. I saw this one recently and had to give it a go. I am happy with the results and have plans to cut another of his projects soon. It is on 1/4 BB Ply. I made a quick frame as my shop time has been very short lately and wanted to get things finished that I had started. So this is the results. The photo, as usual did not turn out very well as this is not one of my better things I do. Often a lot of my photo are of the floor instead of the subject I am trying to take. Dick heppnerguy

Made this for a door prize for our local Meals on Wheels. Now my wife and daughter want one. 3 x $0 =$0

I spent a few days getting my Pegas the way I wanted. Still shocked it only took 2 days to deliver from my order. I used a US General service cart as the base. (The red matches!) I added a power strip with USB plugs and a 25 foot cord. This way I can move it around in the shop for some flexibility. Here you can see it in position when I am recording live streams or other YT videos. Most of my tools are in a semi-circle, so I only need to spin around on my stool. My only negative right now is I have the magnifying glass/light connected to the cart (used to be on the wall), so I lose some cutting space. I really do not want to go back to my old long arm (you can see it on my workbench) from the back as it bounces too much, but I will figure placement in the next week. Other Shop Stuff: I put my old 10" WEN drill press back in operation and keep a pilot drill bit in it. My larger drill press further back is for larger holes, barrel and mop sanding. It sits to the left of my carving workbench. In this photo I have a whole bunch of toys needing to be profiled. You can see the blue legs of my frankenrouter and barrel sander behind that near the silver overhead door. I plumbed in the Pegas, to have not only the regular bottom vac, but also a top vac using loc-line. It then gets combined at the back of the saw. I can either hook up to the 10 foot 2.5" vacuum line at any port along the wall, or to my 4" dust handling line that I can roll out. Below is a closeup when I was plumbing everything in. I did have my old magnetic sheet on for a while, as the glare from my shop lights reflected off the black surface of the cutting table. I still have to get used to this saw. I started with a #10, as I was drifting to the left with the thinner blades, and worked my way down in numbers (at #5 right now), figuring out what setup worked. Every blade has a personality, as does the saw. In the photo below you can see my old Excal before moving out of that spot and rearranging things.

great overall job on this project. What medium did you use to paint this? It really pops. Dick heppnerguy

Sorry , it’s not my pattern. It was a stencil on Etsy and the lady gave me permission to use it.

Very well done. Isn't that always the case about someone wanting one after you make one.

Very nice setup. I wish you the best on the saw. I only sold one so far and he really likes the saw.

Thanks Since I am in a garage, where I put my convertible, I need flexibility. I pull the car out and have a lot of space for the weekend. Also when I am doing videos, I want to be able to adjust things as needed. Also, constantly evolving my workflow. This gives me max flexibility.

Nice setup! I really like the idea of the cart for the saw. Gives some use to what is normally wasted space provided by a saw stand.

I stopped using glass because of the glare glass can have. the window in my living room faces the south so I get quite a bit of sun which causes a glare off of the glass. to dust, a soft bristle brush and/or compressed air does pretty good.

That is what drew me to want to cut it.. great pattern Dick heppnerguy This one took me some time too. I have a couple of neighbor friends visiting Australia right now. They are sending many photos and sights from there Very beautiful country

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

fun projects and your videos are always fun to view. Nicely done, as always Dick heppnerguy

Easter Pysanky Eggs created by me prior to starting scrollwork. I did not learn the traditional Ukrainian designs and colors so I created my own. Have a Happy Easter. Dick Mira

Some of my Easter-themed work from the past.

This is a pattern from Steve Good.
