I'm having some troubles with outdoor projects that I have cut ,the paints and the varnish is not staying healthy after leaving them outdoor exposed to the weather and the sun light.I had been coating them with outdoor Varish but it just doesn't hold up in Iowa weather. Any ideas what I could use to protect the painted areas?

Today is my 61st birthday.Hope this year is alot better then last year wish for me. But I have got to say Christmas was the best ever Our youngest Daughter and our son in law came home for Christmas from Seattle Washington.We had no idea they were coming. Had not seen daughter for 3 years.

Our youngest grandson loves Groot and Rocket Raccoon from the movie Guardians of the Galaxy.

I made this for a friend to give it to his dad for Christmas gift who he helps raise cattle with.

Sorry so Late at replying to all of you who answered my post Thank you all for the great blade info. I appreciate it.

I have my blades stored in a old butcher block cutting boards that have wooden feet. I drew circles around the tubes I use to store my blades in on the top of the cutting board block and then I drilled the holes in rows to store the blade tubes.I have two different size tubes I store my blades in, so on one side of the cutting board block I have 2 rows of tubes and different size blade tubes on the other side of the cutting board block in 2 rows also.I will try to get some pictures of this storage unit I made so You can see it.

Hi I have not been on for A long time. Trying to get Info On where to buy scroll saw blades. I Have been out of scroll sawing for along time trying to get a handle on Who sales the best priced But good blades. We have just restored A old Grain building in to my wood shop with A lot of the work being done by my Husband. Any way I'm trying to get back in the swing of this Hobby I once was active in. I've gotten Older And eyes have gotten older too. So I'm not as fast As I used to be at running My Scroll saw. But I'm Not giving up. The Dewalt Must think I a banded it Cause it has been a few years Since I have Made a pile of saw dust.

You did Very nice Job. I think you are right about the wood it looks like Oak. Can't wait to see what else you do in a name plate.

My scroll saws are in a 20ft long camper trailer that is going to be my wood shop come spring . I have been tearing the inside out of the camper. We are going to take all the appliances out to make more room. for Work benches and shelves to store wood on.

I made this for my 5 year old granddaughter for her 5th Birthday on August 15th.Took me a while to get it done with all the hand painting that was involved in finishing it. But Tristan love it cause of the bright colors i used.

Hi is there another program like rapid resizer. My copy of rapid resizer is out dated and I'm having trouble with it working on my HP computer.

Travis I had to take the saw apart to get at the tenison rod unit it was seized up. someone tightened it down so tight it wouldn't move. we lubbed it up and finally got it to break loose while saw was part we noticed the air bellows was shot too and didn't work at all . so i got on sears.com site and priced the two parts i needed for the saw. emailed the seller to tell him what it was going to cost us to get the saw up and running right . He refunded $19.10 back to my pay pal acct . Got the parts in a about 5 days put the parts on saw, put saw back together and it runs like a new scroll saw. problem now is work bench is not long enough for this scroll saw .So Husband is going to measure saw and make a addition to work bench in order for the scroll saw to sit ok and mount it to work bench. I'm going to bolt it down to the work bench.I'll have to take pictures of this project when we get around to doing it. I have my main scroll saw my green Dewalt 788 to cut projects out. so I 'm not without a scroll saw.

Thanks Travis I'm thinking of pulling the rod out and see what condition the threads are in meaning rusty or clean.I'll keep you all posted on what i find out and what i have to do.

Hi: I just got a Craftsman a 2005 year scroll saw Model # 137.216100 off of eBay auction site. But when I got it there is a problem the table was rusty but I got that all cleaned up and looking like new. So I decided to change the Blade that was in it to a new blade. I got the new blade put in But when I went to tighten down the Blade tension knob the Knob would Not turn at all. So I took the bottom of the saw off and I sprayed it down with Nut Buster, I sprayed the tension rod where it is connected at in the bottom of the saw and I sprayed the rod area where it is connected up in the top inside area of the saw. it is on the top back of the scroll saw I'm going to go down in my basement tonight again and spray those area up inside the saw again with Nut Buster.And then let it sit for a few day before tryingto see of the Blade tension knob would turn at all. Has any one else had trouble like this with a older Craftsman scroll saw? I think Maybe this scroll saw must have sit in a garage or a storage shed for a long time. The saw looks brand new and it looks like it has only been used one time cause there wasn't very much saw dust up inside the Dust collector attactment. I would appreciate any help on this issue .Thank you all for your Time.
