How would that happen These are the same type saw as the Dewalt 788. The action is up front. if the motion of blade going up and down cause movement in the arm then that is a poor design and I highly suggest stay away far away from a saw like that. better options out there. Just my opinion.

What is the basic purpose of that pin now that you have some knowledge of this? Does this pin allow the arm to stay raised after cutting? It is not going to kep the arm down when cutting. No need for that.

Now I would think if you put your creative hats on you can overcome that pin. Lock it out by making a spacer to keep extended. It probably does not serve a purpose other than locking the arm. If locked out then use a block of wood to keep arm raised as you do on a Dewalt. The tension of the blade will keep the arm from raising. Why would it be any different than the other clones of this type saw? Would like to hear from someone who gets to try the saw in a store or actually buys one. Run the saw as normal and pull the pin and see what happens. I am sure they will let you try in HF.

AH HA that is where I got that pattern from. I thought it was also a Steve Good pattern. Thanks Paul. That was the one I will be using for my pen boxes. I remembered having it but did not remember from where. That is what happens when the mind is not functioning well.

Yes he has another one from years ago. I have it somewhere. The lid of the box is a fret project also which is what I liked. I plan on using it as a pen display box and also as a gift box for such themed pens I will be making. He has the one you show also. Look under Holidays. Many different Halloween projects. I always liked is older patterns as opposed to what he is doing these days. but he is still one of the best and so giving so hope he continues. https://www.stevedgood.com/catalog/index.php

The problem with your ornaments is the hanging method. You have the hanging hole as part of the ornament so any device you make to hold the ornament to spray is going to interfere with that hole. But suggestions are to use stiff copper wire and hold it that way then you spray 99.95% of the ornament and touch up the hole after. Or you can make a dowel with a clip such as a clothespin or even small hobby clamps or miniature woodworking spring clamps

Ornament hangers. There are all kinds. I use them alot at my shows and as I said I put them on a turntable also. What difference does it make if it is seen or not. That is the whole idea. I actually sell ornament hangers for the fact that people can display all year round and do not have to hang on a tree. No code where it says an ornament has to hang from a tree. You can get various hangers that display one or more than one. You can get them is sizes. You can actually make your own. There are many examples of this in scrollsawing magazines. I know I have seen them but can not cite specific numbers. There are actual books for making your own. Here are some examples of my birdhouse ornaments. These are meant to be displayed year round.

My point is you are allowed so many photos so why not use that and do a better job doing still photos. Certain angles can show so much detail. I know about customers. That is why selling at shows trumps online sales hands down because people can pick up and hold and see in real time. With online sales it is all about photos. Photography is part of this process. Just as the gift of gab and sales pitch is part of the process when selling in person.

Well then photos are your thing. You should know then there are programs that can delete areas that are not wanted. Using a turntable is the way to go. I have several sizes and they are cheap. The come with mirrors and also lighted if that interests you. I use them at my craft shows to display some highend pieces. I gave you my ideas and wish you luck with the project. I say stick them on an ornament stand and put it on a turntable and shoot the video. For size thing place something recognizable next to it. You see this alot on FB.

Then just take another photo of the back side or explain in description.

I am an absolute nut or call me what you want but I hate when people hold things in their hands to show. I see it so much on my pen forum and I can not stand it. I just do not bother to look at the item. The reason is simple. Many times peoples hands are cruddy and fingernails are filthy and it detracts from the items. I am sure there is a medical term for my dislike but call it what you want but you would never get a sale from me for holding any item in the hand. You see alot of this with today's phones. Hold in hand and click. So my question always is, if you took so much time to make the item then why can't you take a little more time to display it properly. I know one reason is because of the society we have become. ALWAY IN A HURRY. Look at the way we drive today. 100MPH to get nowhere. It is a pet peeve of mine. But do as you please but I maybe not the only one out here that thinks on this line. I did not see anything in OP asking about Etsy but if that is the case I do not know what any of those sites allow or not. But if doing for own web site then I suggest find a way other than the hand. Again even in Kevin's link, it is a flat ornament. Why do you need to do a 360 degree view? Show straight on front and then one from a slight angle if it has any depth to the ornament. Again my opinion only.

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.
