    This seems to be common since this is the third time it's come up. Try this https://blogspot.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa6b059408ca051b3a85dce6b&id=41aee3cf07&e=e151848253.

    Been there Don. This is probably what you are looking for: https://www.rockler.com/diamond-hone-sharpening-set. Not too bad of a price but you may be able to find them cheaper at other stores.

    Welcome from Ohio! I also turn pens, and dishes for the granddaughters. For a while I was incorporating scroll work in pen turning.

    Ray, where's the pics? LOL I've done some carving but just to learn a bit about how much I'm not an artist. I plan to get into carving when I retire (I thought I was but guess it wasn't in the plans). @DickMira does some great work but I think he uses a power carver or rotary tool to add more dimension to his projects. I'd love to see what others contribute here.

    Hold down? Oh, yeah, where did I put that thing? Haven't used one in over 20 years.

    Nice work. I always call scrolling my therapy. Thanks for your service.

    Nice cutting. It's ironic that you showed this. My wife just found a light bulb she bought years ago. It is filled with foil and was used by the U.S. military during WWII as a strobe light for night photograph. That bulb is huge and very interesting.

    If you go here http://www.rbiwoodtools.com/WebsitePages/Scroll-Saw-Manuals.html they have a list of manuals based on your saw's serial number. They have a troubleshooting guide in the manual that may be a good place to start. Good luck.

    Sweet. I love spider wort when it's blooming. I need to make more jigsaw puzzles. Carter Johnson (deceased) use to make puzzles from postage stamps. There were 9 pieces on a first class stamp. The whole puzzle fit into a match box.

    Well, I sure hope you heal well. In the meantime, lurking is good too.

    I was thinking something else. But I won't say as I don't want to get kick out of the village.

    Coat Hanger

    Dan replied to Dan's topic in Bragging Rights

    I sanded a flat spot on the back and drilled 2 pilot holes. #6 wood screws seem to work well.

    I think it's been 83 years since I last posted some work. I did this on a whim. The deer silhouette is walnut finished in BLO/MS mix and the antler is from a white-tailed deer. I plan to use button pegs to cover the screws. Sorry for the crappy photo, I'm out of practice.

    I prefer using wire. I use these hangers (see photo) that lay flat against the project. I use one on the left side and one on the right, then attach the wire to them. The main reason is that some of my projects are not center-balanced and I have had some issues with sawtooth hangers not holding the work level enough for me. With the wire, it is very easy to hang the work level. Also, I don't like things to mark up the wall, so I add either felt or rubber pads to the work. I usually get the work hung so all four pads are touching the wall and this is how I keep the work flat to the wall. The small gap is not very noticeable. There, I spent my 2¢ for the day.

    I agree with Frank. There are some fonts that look better with only one bridge and the letters would flow better with just one bridge. If you need a stencil font and use the right font that program will work. I actually enjoy adding bridges as needed to make the letters look the most pleasing I possibly can.

    @Denny Knappen You'll get them fast at a good price.

    I ordered from them once, years ago, and had the same issue.
