Sorry I didn't respond sooner but haven't been able to get on lately. Steve Good came through and did me a pattern.

I have a request for a scrollable Bible verse and as I am not capable of such a creation, I am asking for help. Anyone who is interested, I will share what is wanted. Thank you.

I no longer do any production style cutting but would not recommend the Pegas. The one I have would not work for that kind of cutting. I have an old Type I DeWalt that works great but I've heard they have problems with the newer ones. Most of my production work was done on a Delta Q3 that I bought new about 94 and it performed well. I finally sold it a couple of years ago and think it is still going.

Thank you for what you do. My donations this year is two loads each to our Senior Center Thrift Store and another place called New to You that furnishes items to people in need. I also gave some blankets to a group that collects blankets every year for those that need them.

I have the Pegas saw and I was having the same problem. I took the knob out and held the end with pliers to see that it was turning. One of them seemed to be sticking so I just kept working it and they seem to be working b etter. I think sometimes a problem is caused when we try to tighten the clamp to much.

My Uncle was there for the raising of the flag. Nice cutting. I see we are almost neighbors.

I have my local lumber yard order the Baltic Birch for me. They don't normally carry it but will special order it for me. The last batch I got was 1/8" and it was $21.00 a sheet.

One problem you will have with a saw like that is not being able to use really fine blades as they won't stand up under the stress. I started with a saw like that back in the 60's and you can do a lot with it but there is no comparison with the newer type saws.

I know your feeling very well. I finally finished a piece that I swore that I would finish before I died but decided that wasn't the end. Scrolling has what has kept me going.

I enjoyed hearing about your location. I spent 4 yrs in your area from 59 to 63 while I was in the Navy at the base that has since closed. Lived in Avondale for a while when I got married. Was back through there in 88 and a great deal of change.

These are some plaques I just finished to present to the nurses at my local medical clinic. These are a modified Steve Good pattern done in 18" BB and a painted backing.

If this stay at home thing keeps going, I may get a lot done if I don't run out of wood.

I haven't posted anything for quite a while. After breaking my leg last year right after moving, I couldn't find anything so finally bought a camera that I could use to post pictures. It has to be almost fool-proof for me to operate it. The Puerto Rico piece is thanks to Sam Custudio for the design, the rest I think are all from Steve Good. Thanks to people like those that we can keep on cutting while we aren't good at designing.

I have used the blue tape for a long time but recently tried the shelf liner. Found some at Dollar Tree. The roll was a $ but of course not as large but works fine. Don't think the glue is as strong but sometimes tape it down. I also found some clear shelf liner on Amazon that works almost too good as really sticks down.
