  1. Well I wear gloves both hands while on a job. Oh did I mention I am a medical person. after gloves on you may hear Bend over,
  2. Thank I hadn't seen or heard of this going on. I will check but I do not think it affects my model.
  3. I would second the suggestions. I used a 3-5 blade slow down and one other thing years ago it was suggested to me to try Duck tape instead of packing tape. Changed my cutting without Melting together.
  4. Happy to see your return. I understand old and can relate. my dad just turned 100 in March we talk often mind is still good so I enjoy and am blessed by his advice and discussion every day.
  5. Wow now that your set forever you certainly won't need to worry about it calapsing what you going make.
  6. Glad your doing well again and hope the fluid clears out. My dad always said getting older is not for the faint of heart and he will be 100 on March 5. Keep up the dust prevention, masks etc. if asked if he has any secret to a long life he just says don't stop breathing.
  7. I have made same and similar baskets to them and did not sell any. I didn't try because my wife grabbed them for her stuff, If there is a empty space she will fill it and what she did not want she gave away
  8. You have a very nice wife may I share this story with my wife. It won't help but you never know. Best start your Christmas shopping soon for wife supplies of everything are running low. Enjoy your new saw.
  9. Reading all the great comments I sunk into thinking Harry Potter, the wand chooses the wizard. Does the Scroller Choose the Scroll Saw OR does the Scroll Saw Choose the Scroller. Either way I would if you have a store to go to and try out the saws they have, pick them up and see how the strain is on your back and arms.
  10. Maybe it's time for the grandson to take up Scroll sawing and you can give advice as it goes. I have done she pieces and board a few times they are always a challenge. I often get the blank set up and cut one taking the time and energy it takes then put on a few ornaments or other small things and have time with easier cut fast as you want then cut another chess piece seems to go faster but I am sure it is slower.
  11. Welcome to the Village from Winston Salem. enjoy your time here
  12. Congratulations on your work and efforts that is fantastic.
  13. I use the Shop tunes earphone set to listen to music while sawing and doing other noise making tools. Or wife and I do where hearing aids just got them a couple months ago. My wife decided I could not hear so good and could not believe it may be I just don't pay attention to every word and insists on talking when your watching a TV program. The hearing aids stream the phone through them so if someone calls texts leaves message what ever I hear that and I can just take to the phone and voice goes to the caller. Of course you need to shut tools down or caller can't hear you. I wear them mowing and can hook up to the CD player I don't have a Alexa or Herman for that matter
  14. I have cut Plexiglass years ago and there was someone in Tenesee who sold supplies for scroll saw folks and had picnics back in the day. Can not remember the name but got stuff from them but they are closed up now. Any way he used duct tape over the Plexi then pattern and very slow speed. I did this and it worked well unless speed increase then you would have melt and stick to gather. Made ornaments, birds, etc.
  15. Well they are spectacular and you have earned the approval of the not well known bird Lady (my wife) She loved them Well done
  16. and my wife gets upset when she sees me carry out a 2-3,000 piece puzzle! I will share the video see what she thinks of that.
  17. Thanks for sharing that Ray brought back memories like Jerry's. Farm in upstate NY. There was a farmer who also run a mill like jerry said but used a Farmal tractor for the blade belt. Used to go down there and watch a little but was more interested in watching. No interest in helping after seeing the farmer lost his arm in the belt when he was sawing at the elbow. Did not. slow him down doing anything. This new will would make it easier for sure
  18. as they say you can be taught. I have never seen Monkeypod but will think twice before using. Thank you
  19. nicely done and it works well. Can I come and play.
  20. think you are on your way. I just cut one each of pawn K, Q, Bishop and rook. They are from a pattern about 2 Years ago scroll saw woodworking and crafts issue 74 by Clayton Meyers. They just looked like fun and are but had to Practice using a soft wood Pine to get the technique figured out. But now may try harder wood. Other things to do have been covered here by the responses. PS: there is a pattern for a SeaPlane in the same Magazine fun to make with the kids.
  21. I have done the above and helped with Dewalt but with the Ex 21 it was just plan loosey goosey and I used a little red loc tite and it is working great so far.
  22. I will watch with you. I had the same font Bird of Paradise on ink scape and decided to go to next up inkscape and have not seen it since over a year. could not figure how to get it to load.
  23. Thank you for all your responces. They are all great. I did get out the drawer with my allen wrenches actually 3 but just need the smaller ones. I chose my weapon and carefully turned and out they both came. Well that was great I finished my project but now need to get the tubing to stop the high pitch whistle. All is tight All is hooked in like it should be but annoying. Well I will figure it out. Thank you all for the help. I did replace the screws. may not be around much the old computer is like me old and forgetful I just finishing this and it took 45 mins from time of turning it on to getting in and to the forumn. .
  24. I am working on a dust collection for my Ex 21 like the one I have for my Dewalt. I am at a point that I need to remove the two screws on the side of the upper arm holding the cover on. the problem the screws seem to be in to stay. Any one have suggest of what to try. I am using the proper size driver or at least thought so it since it fit. I did not push the issue because I did not want to ruin the head of the screw. Any way if some one has a way of turning it out or size I should use to turn it out. Thank you
