Ron, it wouldn't matter if the blade was 1/4" longer. You could either cut the excess off, or, you could just leave it 5 1/4" and feed the excess through the lower clamp. Len

I couldn't see myself going without a detail sander, you can sand any type of fretwork with them. I've been using mine for years on fretwork, and I've never had a piece break. I use my random orbital sander a lot also, it's perfect for sanding Balctic Birch panels with. Len

I believed you Kevin, but I don't know how you forgot to take the pic in the first place. Len

Ron, it's nice that you're doing so well, hopefully business will keep up for you. Len

Too cute Jerry, just to freaking cute! I would like to see a better picture of it though, one showing the frame and picture. Len

Jerry, this is a gorgeous sled, will you be using it as a Christmas gift? Len

Nicely done Jerry, you get a lot done in your mornings. You finally got a round tuit, now you're all set. Len

DJ, your daughter is one very lucky girl then, this box is beautiful! Len

Jerry, it's a beautiful tree, I like the painted ornaments. We decorate one of our trees with all scrollsawn ornaments, but none of them are painted. They are all made from nine different types of veneer, that's where they get the color from. Len

Don, I've never done that type of service to my saw, and I don't plan to until the saw sounds different in any way. There's and old saying out there, something about "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". It'a a wise saying, It's just to sad that most people don't pay much attention to it. There should be no issues with your bearing, they are sealed. Even if you do add grease, it won't be getting to the bearings unless you break the seal. If you do that, then you deserve whatever happens. If you want to service and grease your saw, then grease only the parts that move. The pivot points and rocker arms, other then that there's nothing else to grease. Len

George, your building the table/stand for you to use, therefore, you should know what is a comfortable work height for it to be. We don't know how tall you are or anything like that, it would be hard to give you a set measurement. Try setting your saw at different heights, like on a table or on your lower cabinets. I built my stand about the same height as my lathe sand, that puts the saw top at about bent elbow height. At that height, I don't feel like I'm holding my hands up in the air, and I can feed the stock to the blade comfortably. Plus, it's a good height to rest your arms on if they get tired from to much sawing. Len

Dave, that's the same message I tried to get accrossed in a previous posting. Sometimes it's best to slow down and not tear things apart, I'm happy for you that they replaced the saw. I am very surprised though, that they gave you a whole year warranty. Most times for things like this, they only continue the warranty of the first saw purchased. Hopefully, you won't need to use the warranty, that would be the best outcome. Len

Nicely done Lonewolf, they all look terrific. The crown is amazing, and the last one is outstanding also. Len

Nice cutting Edward, I like the color you chose for the backer. Is that a teams colors, or just a clor you chose? Len

Where did I put my book mark patterns???
Lucky2 replied to hawkeye10's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Don, I have made some in the past, I used 1/16" plywood. I'm sorry, I don't have any patterns I can share. I used to buy thin plywood at Micheal's, but then I started making my own. I have 9 different types of veneer, it makes for a nice variety. I gave up on making them, they were not good sellers. And for the amount of work and time it took to get them ready to sell, was ridiculous. For me, there just was no money in making them. Len -
Yes Larry, that's the site I was talking about, there's enough patterns there to last a person a lifetime. Len

Wayne, if you lubricate the little tip with some Never-Seize, you'll find you will have better luck with how long it lasts and works. I lubricate my tips about every six months, never had to replace them yet. I think you could use any type of grease, but I like Never-Seize because it goes on so thin. I find that if I use the N-S, it goes on thin enough that it doesn't attract sawdust to the tip. Len
-
Bill, that's a nice first ornament, it's bound to become an heirloom. Len
-
Dan, what you've made so far looks great, I'm really looking forward to seeing the completed projects. Those are very simple yet unique benches, it shouldn't take you very long to throw one of them together. Len
-
Jerry, that's a dandy bit of scrolling, it all looks very nice. That's a cute little Elf, who painted it? Len
-
Dan, all four pieces are gorgeous, you sure have been keeping busy. Len

Bill, did you do a Google search for what your looking for? There's lots of places that have the types of patterns your looking for, some of the patterns are even free. I don't have the address, but there's a fellow that goes by Pedro and he has an amazing amount of patterns available. A lot of them are free, and the others aren't all that expensive. I wish I could direct you directly to his site, but I'm not sure of his address. Hopefully, one of the other members will know who I'm talking about, and will post Pedro's address for you. Len

Bob, that's quite the chart, it really takes any guessing out of the game. It's almost enough to make me want to switch blade brands, not quite enough, I don't think I'll ever give up on the FD brand, I like them to much. Len
-
Theresa, why sell it, you may have a use for it. Do you and your dad never plan to participate in any more sales? Len
