Under the photos there is 5 more photos but you need to click on link.

There is a bunch of photos on the HF site. Not sure what you want to see. Just about all sites like the Buck have videos. It is the same saw.

Have to ask, are you talking flat ornaments or 3 d. If you are talking flat, why bother? If 3d then you have more to look at. Many years ago before all these programs you can download these days I wanted to show off my pens but had no idea how to do this. I had someone show me how through using photoshop. It required taking a bunch of photos and then making them in a loop somehow and you could set the timing of the slides and it would look like it spins. Now stick on a turntable and make a video. I am sure there is programs that can take out the backgrounds such as a hanging branch and the turntable and it looks like it spins in free air. Hey you guys are more phone savy than I ever will be but I have seen this done. You can always use a pin to hold the ornament upright on a turntable. Or you can invert a turntable upside down and support it so it is out of camera shot and use a piece of monofilament thread and support the ornament and have it spin. This is how I did the pen in this video. Here was my attempt many many years ago. I did away with this idea for way too much work. Can be a whole lot easier today using one of the methods I mentioned.

What they are sending 1 per store??

I just saw Steve Goods posting this morning and he included a video of Judy's shop from a few years ago and it is a must watch if you want to see some of the most extraordinary work by such a true artisan. The detail in her work is first rate. I got to see many of her pieces up close back in the day when we had scrollsaw picnics and gatherings. For those that do this kind of work, I am sure this hits even harder to lose such a talented person and a real gem of a human being. Hope this link works but if not check out Steve's site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giDTAb-n6Xo

Love it. These are on my to do list. A couple months ago I found a couple books I had with these type patterns so I pulled them out and put on the side. I want to give them a try. I like your design because it is different than square which we see lots of. The wood combination works very well. Job well done.

I too met her a couple times and she was a great talent. Her work will live on forever. Rest in Peace. Prayers for her family.

Some made in Mexico also.

I believe when Kevin sees this he will be able to help you understand the problems and suggestions before you make those decisions. I am not familar with those motors because when I bought my 2 RBI saw these were worked out and no need to buy any others no matter how cheap. Good luck. I do think it is the right thing to steer him away from tools that can put a hurt on you in a hurry. I know this has to be a tough thing. But maybe working together in the shop can do wonders. Good luck.

The saw tilts. They do have ones with the tilting table too. https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-21-variable-speed-scroll-saw-with-foot-pedal/g0969

Yes I just copied and put them in the link button. I did not want to provide my info here to make it a link to the web site. I could have just copied and paste too. Nothing special. Anyone can just google each tool they have in mind and trace its origin.

I have probably told this story many times here in different threads for different reasons but will repeat. I have been scrolling for over 45 years now. My first saw was Dremel 2 speed pin end saw. I think it was a 12" or possible 14" I do not remember. It was a hobby saw as they called them back then. I really could not put my finger on exactly what it was that drove me toward the saw at that time but I was just becoming a woodworker of all types and it was a woodworking tool. I started making small wood toys that were not very much fret work involved. Olsen was the big blade people and also Delta (which I believe Olsen made for them) Needed tools to change blades and it was slow. One day went to a woodworking show which I did every year and there were people demonstrating saws and one was Hegner. Fell in love with the saw and just about that time Berry Basket started coming out with an old couple page black and white catalog for lack of a better word and the rest was history. I always use to go to craft shows because I love seeing hand made items and there was a person who was selling the collapsible baskets and doing well. Again that was all I needed to give me the push over the edge and "JT'S Creative Woodworking was born. So basically I started with the Hegner and became use to it and it was a great saw. But once again I was at a woodworking show and watch a demo of the RBI saws and wound up buying one at the show. Now being a seasoned scroller I understood saws better and seen the value in some of the features and all that. So it was an easy choice and and my hobby really took off and started doing many craft shows and and as i told the story I began selling in 6 stores in large malls and did well. Loved the RBI which was a 220Vs that I went and purchased a RBI 226VS because of the larger projects I was making. Then one day I was in Home Depot and they were selling the Dewalt 788 out on clearance. Could not pass up the deal. I bought the last one they had which was a shelf display with the stand for $99. I did use that for some time on special projects but was not a huge fan of it. To sum it up I sold the Dewalt and Hegner not long ago. The Dremel made the junk yard some time ago. I still have the stand for it and use it for a sander. I do not do much scrolling any more but my 2 best saws that I have are the RBIs and will not get rid of them I still believe they are the best saws on the market. I have scrolled on the Eclipse, the first Excalliper and also a Ryobi saw from time to time. But I am a RBI man and always will be. My journey down the scrollsawing hobby was a fun one and made some cash along the way. Would not change a thing. Now it is turning pens and that hobby.

Those are my vertebra numbers that get screwed up on me the most. Have had them go out so many times and the worse was during the pandemic. My chiropractor would not open the office because we were in lock down so for 2 months I suffered in pain. How did your surgery go? was there any side effects? Do you have limitations like movement with the fusion? Thanks.

It is never good reading of accidents that happen in a shop. any tool in a shop can hurt but any tool that has a cutting blade can hurt that much more. stay safe and work with much care. My biggest accident was with an exacto knife. i was cutting the molds off I use for my pen blank making that I use when pour resins, and the blade slipped and it was a decent cut. Bandaid did the trick but being on blood thinners, that was not pretty. What a mess.

Back when I had mine I would have had to change the upper arm. I forgot what the price was but I just got use to the tension knob in the rear. I had a mark on the knob to know exactly where to stop to tighten properly. I wound up using mine basically for cutting those collapsible baskets because I would set it up for the correct angle. I made so many of those things back then it was worth it. That was a smooth cutting saw for sure. I was not a fan of the blade holder but you get use to them. I added the knurled blade knob which helped. I had extra clamps so I preloaded some which helped production speed. Back then I was just entering the world of scrolling and had all the $$$ dreams. I have no complaints and would do it over if all things equal but as we read here more often people are having a hard time at shows. It is too bad. Man I must have made hundreds of those type baskets as well as converted many to clocks and even mirrors which Rick suggested too. Used various woods but mainly maple, walnut mahagony which was beautiful to cut and of course oak which I stained a dark color at times too. Again one of these days I need to convert photos from film to digital. I can still remember setting up my table display in my living room to try to get a layout so all I had to do at show was unpack and display. I made this 8 foot plywood wall with stands for all my shelves and wall hanging things. I cut it in half and used a piano hinge so easier to carry but 3/4" plywood X 8 feet was not lite. Man the good old days. brings back the memories. I made a bunch of display shelves for the stores I was setup in and those are still in my attic. I even made those with a fancy scrolled design. I was truely into scrolling back then. I think I still have a few of those baskets tucked away in storage somewhere. I have so much older projects that fell out of favor over the years but never got rid of them. So they are still part of inventory. I also have a bunch of projects that are half done that would really still look good today because people have not seen them for years. Have one of Dirk Boelman's mantle clocks that I really would love to finish. Wow Memory Lane.

Acetone will clean them all. You can try Denatured alcohol also.

I assume you are asking how to do stack cutting. There are a few threads here that talk about this but here is the latest. maybe you can pull things from it. many methods to adhere the layers of wood together. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/52854-stack-cutting/

I too have that pattern and probably have all of Rick's Patterns. remember Rick also had a magazine he sent out as part of a club package and they had patterns in them. Not sure what the rules are with that too. Many of those patterns are nowhere to be found in any books.

I do not know about all that fancy folding because if someone buys a piece they would want to change napkins easily. So I just fold corner to corner to make a triangle. now with some napkins they have a fancy edge and you can see in the back of one of mine I show. I keep that all the same. You see the pattern right away when you fold a couple. The key is not to crease the fold so hard. You want it to open some when you place in the holders.

All well and good as long as the kids do not listen to their music with earbuds and turned way up. I see this all the time and not good because kids think they are invincible.

All scrollsaws are in the 70 to 90 dB range. To compare talking normally is about 60dB. Will a scrollsaw affect hearing loss? yes it could if you saw for long periods of time. best to use ear protection. Can you make a saw quieter? yes to some extent but not much. Solid base or rubber mat under the saw can take away some noise. As mentioned speed of the saw will affect noise as well as materials being cut. But to me the biggest noise producer is when people hook up shop vacs to them. that raises the noise level to dangerous levels even for small periods of time. hearing protection is definetly needed and should be used in a work shop anyway along with eye protection.

Need to answer a few questions first that may help. First are the blades flat on the back side?. Sometimes blades have a bow to them and even when you put tension on them it is not enough to take the bow out. Next are any of the blades from either pack #7 or #9 able to square up in the holders? Most those type scrollsaws have set screws on the sides of the holders that help center the blade so it is 90 degrees side to side. I always found that if I set one side setscrew just about flat with one side of the clamp and use the other screw to tighten the blade it keeps the blade from twisting in the clamp. I do this on both sides of the clamps top and bottom. If you have screws sticking too far out it is possible for the blade ends to bend out of shape. So next question is, are the ends of the blades bent in anyway after you release them from tension? If you do not hold the blade to the back of the clamp it can have a tendency to creep forward and add that bend I am talking about and this causes more rocking of the blade. Finally those saws actually cut in a rocking manner so no matter where you set the arm and place the square it will show daylight either on top or bottom. You are looking for a consistent rocking motion from top of blade to bottom of blade as it travels in the cutting motion. If you could find the exact center of the arm travel and then set the square against that you should see equal light distant both top and bottom of blade. You could also just move the arm up and down and watch the movement and by eye see if there is equal distance. I know on the Dewalt saws especially the type #1 saws there was a trick that everyone did to take out alot of that rocking motion and get it more parallel up and down stroke and that was to lift the back of the table ever so slightly. I will show you a photo of what I did with mine. So a few questions that can help others help you.

They are all the same on those type. Just copy one from that link that was provided. If you are asking about the rings that hold the napkins.
