    Another fabulous piece.

    Good day Lance. The saw height from the floor is not so important because some people sit and others stand. What's more important is that your saw table is comfortable. Generally, if your elbows are bent about 90 degrees when you are at the saw you are probably good. One thing that helped me is to raise the back of the saw so it leans forward a slight bit. If you back gets sore (quite normal although it doesn't happen to everyone) just take a break every 5 or 10 minutes and stretch. Everyone is different so the best we can do is let you know what works for us and you will find what works for you. Cheers!

    I've used glue sticks for small patterns and, yes, it does work. I used Elmer's though.

    Welcome to The Village, Lance. We always like to see photos so when you get time, do post them. I had a scroll saw in the garage for a few years and the cold Alaska winters drove me into the basement. I'm now in Ohio and the basement is its home.

    Great idea! Now you need to make 7 more reindeer and a jolly old man to sit in the sled.

    I made a bowl with my wife's initial inlayed into the bottom. She also stole (I guess that's what you call it) several of my mini birdhouses. I think if you make it she will appreciate it more than you think. Especially if it comes with a $100 bill or a gift card.

    Great job! Where'd you get the pattern?

    Normally I'd agree with Dan on the letters, but I really like the way these letters came out. It gives it dimension. Great project!

    Everything is do clean. I think he spend all his money getting the shop set up. No cash left for wood. I like how his dust collection is below the shop.

    Like most, I sand before cutting. Either a torch or mop sander after cutting if needed.

    I'm not sure how to fix it but if you don't find a solution you may be able to use this... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Nite-Ize-24-in-Bright-Gear-Tie-in-Orange-2-Pack-GT24-2PK-31/203597305 Just wrap this around the light's arm like a barber pole. They are flexible and hold a position pretty well. I use these to hold things like flashlights when I need a third hand.

    Beach scene

    Dan replied to flarud's topic in Bragging Rights

    It does look very cool. I do agree with Dan about the source of the blue. Once the beetle starts the discoloration the longer it stays wet the more the blue can spread. Of course, man can play a part by keeping it wet longer. The holes are a good sign of the beetle's work. Pretty amazing and a great find, especially from Lowe's.

    A quick search for magenta (red) toner for brother's printers. I'm not sure if it is compatible but may be worth a try. Some cartridges have a code on them and if you install a magenta cartridge where a black one should go you could get an error. That's why I suggest just replacing the color of the toner in the black cartridge. Even if there is a little black still in the cartridge, just add the red, give it a shake and you should see mostly red.

    Benny, don't you have an Excalibur and a Hawk? Like Dan said, it's more a beginner saw. If you're just wanting another saw I'd go with the Dewalt.

    I would use wood glue. It only takes a tiny drop or two to hold th small pieces, it allows more time to reposition as needed, and you should be able to do it with no glue squeeze-out. CA can cure very quick and you won't be able to reposition pieces. As for the accelerant, it's mostly acetone and will evaporate very quickly.

    Great cutting and the torched edge is nice.

    Christmas JOY

    Dan replied to alexfox's topic in Bragging Rights

    Wow Alex! Christmas Joy is fabulous and I also like the advent calendar. Great work.

    Maybe you can find red (magenta) toner and an empty black toner cartridge and refill it yourself. There are some videos that show how to do this.
