    HI everyone I would just like to say after consulting with Rocklers and the help of two great people here on the village site, Octool guy and New2woodwork I have decided against a dust collector and am staying with my hang up shop vac and my dust deputy for scrolling. I have that 12 foot hose with different fittings from Rocklers and that new switch that I posted in the other forum from Menards for my vac setup I am all set and happy. I am keeping it simple as I age. (soon to be 75 on the 27th)> I would like to say I have been on this village for a long time now and everyone is just great at helping and ideas. Bill

    HI guys, Thanks for the input, I was going to buy the dust collector that goes on the wall and the guy at Rockler talked me out of it. He said if all I was gonna do was scroll saw and sand I didn't need it. Does he really know what he is doing????? According to reviews on the harbor freight one also, everyone likes it and it does the job. I personally would rather have the dust collector so is that gonna pick up sawdust from my scrollsaw and my sanders? Thanks Bill

    HI I have a hang up shop vac brand hooked to my dust deputy and is is really loud. I wear muffs but it's still loud with them on. Outside of the high priced fein or festool stuff I don't need, does anyone make a decent sounding shop vac out there or maybe I should look for a regular vacuum that would work. Suggestions? Thanks Bill

    Hi I never got into it so I use my compressor that I have for it hooked up as a blower on my scroll saw. Been using it for years and it beats bellows and aquarium pumps by a long shot Bill

    HI all This morning in my daily email I get from Steve Good he had this pattern of two sizes of gnomes. I made the little one out of BB plywood. It turned out cute I think

    HI, I use the dremel workstation alongside my regular drill press. Then I drill bigger holes with a 1/16 bit and whatever size blade I am using a use a wire bit. works great. You can get wire bits from widget supply on the internet Bill

    HI all I want to try the shipping lable method, but what do I do if I only have say a 4 x 4 ornament to print out, how do I use the rest of the blank space on that sheet after it comes out of my laser printer with only that on the sheet? I need to be able to use the whole sheet otherwise its a waste of money for me. Thanks Bill

    HI I don't make big stuff so I made a box shape, put pegboard on the top and stapled router mat to it, put a dust port in the back and I am all set. Way cheaper than grizzly Bill

    HI everyone, I made a deer hunter picture for my grandson and a friend of mine asked me for the pattern and he has an old single speed Delta 40-150 with the twin blade holders and was having problems with blades breaking etc. So I went out and took a look at it and I brought some of my pegas 2/0 blades and they won't fit in the blade holders. I tightened the holder down tight and they fell out. Does anyone make any retrofits for them? I thought I would see if they did. I found a parts direct on line and it says they are not available anymore as the originals. Just trying to help the guy out and I told him nicely he would not be able to cut that picture out on that saw. Thanks Bill

    HI everyone I bought myself a black and decker mouse sander today so I am good now for finish work. Thanks for the response from everyone. Bill

    Thanks folks I saw in one of my past issues of SSWC that someone used a ezlock in their dremel with some sort of small 320 grit buffer things so I sent for some to see how they work. I also sand before, I was just concerned about sanding after and I had seen where they used a mouse sander that was mentioned above. Have never tried the torch, Thanks Bill

    HI all, I do a lot of ornaments etc, and I have been using a pad sander and a downdraft box, in reading some of my older issues of SSWC I saw a few places where people used the mouse style sander as they wern't so aggresive to prevent breaking pieces, anybody using this and any reccomendations for a brand that is good? Thanks Bill

    HI I Lost my paint shop pro 9 program when I went to windows 10, it allowed me to scan and resize a pattern. Any free ones out there that are easy to work with or suggestions otherwise. I don't like paint.net Thanks Bill

    HI all I have been using green painters tape for years and I agree with a post up above, that when it comes time to take it off, you end up with lots of little pieces. I just started using the clear stuff from Walmart and it is great. My wife suggested I take the roll and cut off about a few feet that roll it up in the opposite direction and put a rubber band around it and when its time to use it, it will lay flatter for you. I just take my little piece of plywood and lay it on the backside and cut around the board with a exacto knife and then peel it off and stick it to it. Works ver well I feel Bill in Wisconsin

    HI, I have a brother black and white laser printer with scanner and I love it for scroll saw patterns. When you buy new toner get the regular Brother brand and the larger soze cartridge, I recently got a cheaper one off ebay and it was not the best. Didn't last long. Also about once a week pull your cartridge out of the holder and genly shake it up and down a couple times to stir up the toner so you get even color. Bill
