  5. I've purchased tiny bits from Ace, very expensive though,I bought drill bits ,blue in color from the lower priced auto store to drill metal once.The bit turned red hot in quick order and bent.Took another thinner bit and bent it in my hands in front of the sales person on returning the product,china was on the package. I bought all of the sizes from Mikes and they last real good.

  11. I wouldn't even worry about the 1.5 amp the scroll saw use's,That's like 1 watt.The scroll saw uses like about as much as a flash light ,next to nothing.I think electric is about 10 cents last time i checked in 2009.Basically the watts = amps almost on the money ,like 20 amp =20 watt roughly . 1000 watts is referred to 1 kw kilowatt.So i think running 900 scroll saws for an hour costs 10 cents,i'm guessing. a box fan cost $4 dollars a month at 8 hours a day if i remember right.I did this once with the power company to find out my electric costs as my electric jumped up to well over a hundred fifty dollars a month when some girl moved in the efficiency unit next to my apartment on the same electric.Ends up the land lord bought her a portable a.c. unit and i had to pay for her electric use as were on the same meter. my bills were $26 a month.I moved from that place quick.i had no a.c. unit in my place and was not about to pay for hers .all i ran was a fridge,scroll saw fan and lights and water heater on the lowest setting.

  24. What a day this turned out to be ,Money came in the mail, somebody mowed my lawn,i got a full belly for a change and i found some patterns to scroll that didn't take long plus i sold the meditating table today too ,and was given some 2x4 white woods .I've been wanting some for compound projects i wanted to do lately just to play around and do something different and give away.I 'm sending a big package to schofeild wisc. some fret work,John3:16 ,13" x 13" in walnut and a couple of free bee's to boot.Lots of bubble wrap used and triple cardboard for strength in shipping .It is what it is isBLO mixed with danish oil .Oh the playdoh one i did went bad,it shrunk up.I'm going to seal it this time as a test so i can find quick an easy ways to get things out the door the look great. And then a big order came in for 4 more "Sheila landry sleighs and reindeers in oak and aromatic red cedar ,he provides the wood.Very good day today.I gave muhammad his name today ,boy was he excited for an old guy,lolYounger than me though,lol I sprayed BLO and light tinted danish on" it is what it is".
