John, that looks great, I've always liked this type of cutting. Len

Jim, thanks to you and your family members for your service. I like the cutting, it's a great reminder of what he went through. I had a neighbor who fought in WW2, he was at Vimy Ridge and he had some very sad stories to tell. It was strange, I was the only person who he'd ever talk to about his time in the war. According to his wife, he wouldn't even talk to her about it. She did say that he seemed to feel better after we would have a say, that made me feel good. Joe was a great man, he passed away a few years ago. I really miss the man. Len

Nicely done Jim, it will mean a lot to your wife that you came up with this ornament. Len

Hans, it's a gorgeous cutting, I've always liked this pattern. Len

Nicely done Dan, it looks great. Len

Nicely done Pete, I love that welcome to the cabin one, the live edge on it looks terrific. I've never seen the spiral bowl pattern before now, it's a nice design. Len

Nicely done Edward, it looks nice. Len

Nicely done Helmut, I like the way you finished the edge of the limbs. Len

Cute dragon, what are you going to do with it? Len

Iggy, I've got faith in you, I'm quite sure you can do it on your own. There's not much to these saws, a couple of bearings and pivot points. Do the reverse build method, it will keep you straightened out and going in the right direction. Do you intend to grease the bearings, or, do you intend to replace them. The original bearings are sealed bearings, they should not require any grease. But, a lot of DW saw owners swear by it, they say that the grease makes all the difference. So, who am I to disagree with them, I don't own a DW saw. I have worked on a couple of them in the past, that's how I know it's not that big of a job to do a rebuild. It will be a good thing to learn how to do, you never know when you will need to rebuild another one. Len

Iggy, for the amount of time it took you to check out the Village and post your rant, you could have greased your saw. It's a simple thing to do, and it does not take up much time. For the sake of an hour or less, you should be able to strip the saw down and service it. There's all kinds of videos on you-tube that show you how to do it, if your not mechanically inclined. Len

Wow, what a beautiful clock, your parents are sure to like it. Here's an idea if you ever find yourself making another one, instead of having a bird in the pendulum you could put numbers. Like for this one, you could have put the number fifty in the pendulum. Len

Way to go Kevin. Len

Nice looking ornaments Larry, I like the look of them with the chains on them. Len
-
Nicely done Jerry, do the gears on the clock move? Len
-
Nicely done Al, it looks great. Len

Randy, are you using spiral blades, or flat ones? There's no short cuts, you have to put your time in and practice lots. Len
-
Dan, any tite-bond carpenters glue would work, it's what I'd use. Len
-
Randy, I was just thinking about your question again, and I would like to know why you want to slow down the speed of your saw? If it's so that you have more control, you don't need to slow the speed down. All you need to do, is find the right blade for the job. Try using a fine tooth blade, to see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, then try a blade that is not as fine. No matter what the material is, you should be able cut it with the scroll saw. All it is, is a matter of having enough practice and using the right blade at the proper speed. Len

Nicely done John, I must look this pattern up. Len
-
Tim, it's great to have you back, and this is a gorgeous cutting. There's no mistaking that it's oak, you can tell from the grain pattern. Len
-
Dick, this is a beautiful cutting, you did an amazing job cutting it out. I'm glad that you finally got the guts needed to cut this piece out, your becoming a master cutter with the spiral blades. Where's Theresa been lately, I haven't seen any postings from her lately? Len
-
Way to go Denny, how did you sell them? In a store environment, or at a local craft sale? Len
-
The cutting is outstanding, if the pattern is lifting off of the wood, then your not using enough glue. The glue you're using works fine, I use the same kind and have never had an issue with it. Len
