  1. Hey Stoney How do you relocate that stop, I don't use a hold down and i would love to be able to get my arm up higher on mine. thanks Bill MESSAGE ME WITH THAT INFO PLEASE!!!!
  2. HI Do you have to put that jet clamp in a vise to load up the blade? Bill
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Beautiful, I have not cut them yet but will soon. I use a pegasus 2 blade for all my 1/ 8 in work Bill
  6. 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
  7. I forgot to put it's 1/8 in BB plywood. I don't stack cut. Bill
  8. HI all, I just finished one set of three of the Voelker Arnold German fretwork ornaments that were in a back issue of SSCW issue. I used to make a lot of these for gifts.
  9. HI Cory Welcome to the group, where are you in Wisconsin. I live in New Richmond on the west side of state. I have been scrolling for many years. Bill
  10. HI, I took this pattern that he had on his website this past week and instaed of a backer I just made a hanging ornament out of 1/8 inch BB ply. It turned out nice. Bill
  11. HI everyone, I may have asked this a long time ago, but now I am starting to scroll again to make things for the Holidays. Question I have is how do you tell the lower blade holder sizes? I have some and they are not marked. I use the Pegas 2.0 blades mostly because I work with 1/8 BB plywood. What holder number would work best with that blade? Thanks for the help Bill
  12. HI When I do my stuff and I use just 1/8 BB I use the the Pegas puzzle blades only. I would not use a reverse tooth blade with that thin wood. I have been scrolling for years and get very little break out on back side. Good luck Nrscroller in Wisconsin
  13. HI Thanks for the nice mike pattern, I spent 7 years in radio broadcasting in the late 60-early 70 era. Bill In Wisconsin
  14. Hi, those are really cool. YOu did a nice job, I like making the filligree things. I will have to check the latest issue, is that out yet? I let my subscription quit so I don't know if I will be getting that one or not. Bill in wisconsin
  15. Hi Those are nice ormanents, they are my favorite to do with 1/8 in baltic birch. Where are those patterns from? Nice Job Bill
  16. That looks way better than the expensive one that Rocklers sells with a clamp that isn't worth it. Bill
  17. Just a beautiful job, i am a train lover too. Bill
  18. Hi Get rid of the super 77 glue, blotches bad when getting empty. A good friend at church works for 3m in St. Paul and she said the 45 is the better glue for crafts. I got some and it is much better. Bill
  19. Hi I scroll with thin stock all the time, 1/8 inch baltic birch ply. I currently use the Pegas 2/0 28 tpi and it is great. It is a skip tooth blade so it doesn't clog up. Try it and you will be surprised how nice it cuts. Bill
  20. Hi, When I get a pattern, I make a copy and save as original and file it, then just pull that and print a copy. I file them under different artists or general or various topisc, I am 74 and has worked for years for me Bill
  21. Hi everyone., I made this for my Pastor for Christmas. I won't make another one, it is too hard. But it was interesting. If anyone makes it I would go with Steve's suggestion of enlarging to 200% and using 1/4 and 1/2 plywood. 1/8 is kinda flimsy, but once it was glued up it held together ok. Thanks for looking Bill in Wisconsin
  22. HI I have a 1995 18vs Hegner and never have had any problems like that thankfully. Good luck Bill
  23. Wow that is really a nice gift and nice work. Bill
  24. Try this one gusy: I have it all beat, I use a air brush compressor hooked up to my line, avoids the bellows and keeps dust off my work much better. I have it hooked up to my foot switch so it goes on and off with that. Also have a 20 inch box fan with backside toward my saw with a furnace filter taped to it to suck dust away. Been using this for years. It has more power than an aquarium pump also. Bill
  25. Congrats I hope you like your new saw. I have a 1995 Hegner I bought at only a year old. I have replaced a couple parts but it runs like a top all the time. I use the Pegas blades and I don't have any problem with blade breakage. Oil your arm bearings on both sides with light oil now and then. Good luck Bill
