Nicely done Kevin, each piece look great. Will you be adding color to any of them, or, just going to clearcoat? Len

Nice looking piece Edward, the color looks perfect. Len

Thanks for checking in Jerry, that's a great looking piece. Len

Nicely done. Len

Monti, it seems as if you have a tension issue, there is a few things you can do to try to solve them. Remove the upper and lower clamp screws, and check out the little pivot pins that are in the end of them. Make sure the pins can move, and sand the end of the pins to scuff them up. Doing this should make the clamps hold on to the blade better, so it can't slip in the clamp. Another thing that should help solve your issue, is to apply pressure to the upper arm when installing the blade. What I do when I install a blade, I always attach the lower end of the blade in the clamp first. I make sure that there is enough blade under the clamp screw, then for the top clamp, I always apply downward pressure to the upper arm while tightening the clamp screw. Not a lot of pressure is needed, but, if done right you'll never have to adjust the tension screw again. I've had my EX21 for 5-6 years now, and I only ever needed to touch the back tension knob for spiral blades. Len

How much use has the saw seen, have you ever serviced it in the past? Len

Dave, I use a glue gun and glue around the edges. I've never had any problems doing it this way, and if needed the glue is easy to remove. Len

Gonzo, try unhooking the motor from the rocker arms, then try turning the motor back on to see it it is getting power and if it will run. If the motor runs, then it's a problem with the pivot points or the rocker arms. This might not help, but, it's what I would do to try to solve the problem. Len

Nicely done Mark, and it's very cute. It looks as if they're having an issue with the blanket, or who owns it.lol Len

Well that didn't take very long Kevin, what will you be using for a finish? Len

Nice piece Monti, thanks for sharing it with us. Len

Dave, that is an outstanding cutting, you drew a perfect pattern from the pic. It is an amazing close-up picture of a hummer also, it's easy to see why you would want to use it for a pattern. Len

Nicely done Kev, all three pieces look fantastic. Len
-
Kevin, I was sure that your reply was going to be, "It's when your tool is so sharp", it's scary. Guess I was wrong, but it's not the first time that's happened. Len

Joe, for portraits I always dip or flood them with a 50/50 mix of poly and mineral spirits, this is just the first step. After dipping it and allowing it to dry, I add a finish coating of lacquer after the backer is glued in place. Doing it this way, fills all of the voids made from cutting the item out. Len
-
Heard of it, but, never used it. Len
-
Nicely done Todd, I'd give it a coating of BLO then a final coating of clear poly or lacquer. Around here we still play a lot of cribbage, it's an enjoyable game. Len

Nicely done Helmut. Len

Randy, both of these cuttings are impressive, it's even more impressive that you did this work with a hand held fret saw. How popular is scroll saw work in Malta, is there a market for your work? Len

Found some spare time and scrolled a little

Kevin, you're doing a great job of making up for lost time, the time in the hospital seems to have you refreshed. All of these pieces look fantastic. Len -
Very nice, it reminds me of the two bugs I used to own. Len

Nicely done Nathan, personally, I like clear coatings. Len
