As most of you know, I relocated to Bothell, Washington last year, the weather was too severe for my arthritis so I decided it was time to come back to sunny California. I purchased a home in late December and was on a flight back to Sacramento to sign all of the documents when I suffered a stroke on my flight. Needless to say I ended up in the Hospital and rehab. I am still recovering from the after effects of the stroke. It has been going on 7 months and the doctor tells me that it will be a long recovery and does not know if I will regain all of my functions. I am off balance and get dizzy spells all the time. The doctor looked at my MRI and MRA resuts and said I have some bleeding of the brain which results in my having multiple mini strokes. I am not able to drive or work around saws or power tools. I miss all of that but above all I miss interfacing with all of you fine folks on this site. I will try my best to stay in touch with all of you great people whom I got to know. Regards Mike

I bought this saw at a woodworking show in San Jose California about 28 years ago. It is a very reliable saw and I use it often. It is very durable and reliable. I never had it break down but I did go for the new Quick clamp which makes blade changing must easier. I do recommend this saw as I have been completely satisfied with it's performance over the years that I have used it. Mike

Brad, my prayers will be offered for you and your bride. Before you know it you will be back on the saw creating beautiful projects.

Under Doctor's advice I have decided to relocate to Bothell Washington to live with my daughter due to declining Health Problems. I will give up woodworking and try to lead an easy and enjoyable life. I am 86 years young and have enjoyed 70 years of woodworking. I will be checking in periodically and want to thank all of the members on this site for being so helpful and friendly. May God Bless you all and keep you healthy and active Mike

seems like everything that can go wrong is
campasano replied to amazingkevin's topic in Coffee House
Kevin, I think you need to take a break from everything, Do you have a friend that you could visit for a week or so as to get away from your present environment. I am afraid that if you don't you will either have a serious accident or a breakdown. Take Melanie's advice and sit down with your doctor to go over your medications and medical problems.you have been working overtime. Life is precious, do not throw it away. Mike -
Brian, that is awesome, your daughter will cherish it forever, great craftsmanship. Mike

Kevin, no magic word,"LOL" under the seat cushion is a lid with a piano hinge, it lifts up to allow my Great Grandson to put in his Toys, Just pulling your leg as you knew that," RIGHT"? Mike

Update on my wedding card box posting
campasano replied to BeerBrewer's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Fantastic job on that wedding box, the fretwork is outstanding. That certainly will become a family heirloom. Mike -
Tony, you did a great job on the sign, How big is it? Mike
-
Todd, they are real eye catchers, Good luck on your sales. Mike

I made this Toy Chest for my Great Grandson, Jason

Ditto on what everyone has commented. I like your idea and may give it a go. I have never cut puzzles before and I might just attempt it using your technique. Mike
-
Outstanding piece of workmanship, it is incredible and a labor of love. Mike
-
I am interested in learning how to make 3D patterns as I cut many 3D items. A tutorial is a great idea. Mike

I have owned the Hegner 18v for 28 years and do mostly fretwork with it, I do not have a problem with bottom feeding but wish they would come out with a top feeder. This saw is a complete work horse and has held up over the years. As others have commented all of the parts are available but pricey which I have a problem with as I think it is taking advantage of Hegner owners. Example: bellows replacement part sells for close to $50.00 plus shipping for a molded plastic part. Mike
