    Dan-Woodman commented on Travis's scroll saw review in Scroll Saw Reviews

    I have a Sakura. That's the same before they changed the color to blue. Mine is Orange. I made my own quick change blade holder for the upper blade holder. I also added a flexible air blower to the end of the existing line. Daniel

    The pegs on the wheels do actually hold the wheel on. I also used stainless steel washers on each side of the wheels so they wouldn't rust or rub on other wood parts.

    The door design is routed with a "V" bit. I made a template for the bit to follow. It would be easy to add hinges to the door, but not as safe for small children. This would be a great project for the grandkids. Too bad I don't have any yet!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words, I like to make toys the kids will really play with and learn from.

    Here's my latest project . The hauler is 23" long with tilting and sliding bed. The car is my signature project with the window openings creating handles for the child to Grab-N-Go.

    My old Sakura has an aluminum table and would make dark areas on the bottom of the wood,so I cut out a piece of 1/4" white acrylic and put double sided tape to hold it on . Ben there many years and still good as new.

    The jig is simple two pieces of wood glued together like a miter gauge. The front part ( where the ball is screwed) has a counterbored hole 3/4" dia. x 1/2" deep that the ball sets in and then is drilled for a finish screw. Whatever size ball you want to use , go half that distance in from the side and up from the bottom. The screw hole made in the ball will be the hole for the ornament hook. The side the ball is on can ride against the rip fence of the band saw. Be careful not to cut into the screw.

    The latest issue #75 of SSW is out with lots of great projects. Here is a picture of my Christmas tree ornament that took second place in there ornament contest. I started with a 2 1/2 " wooden ball, sliced it into 1/8" slices, then cut trees out of two slices an the deer out of another. Then glued it back together to form a picture inside the ball.

    I think you will find that the saw itself is very quite. The cutting of the wood will probably create more noise than the saw. Some woods cut louder than others. Daniel

    www.Klockit.com also has a large selection.

    A couple of months ago I won 1st. place in Scroll Saw Woodworking magazines Workshop contest. It was items made to be of help in the shop. In the picture is a round disc attached to the end of the pulley shaft with PSA Sandpaper attached to it for sanding burrs on small parts after scrolling. Thanks for looking Daniel

    Seems like I heard at one time that some of those saws had a defect. Something was cracked somewhere. It might have been on the Shopsmith forum.

    If it's the plastic laminate flooring , that will even dull your carbide tiped table saw blades . I didn't know about this and laid this in a hallway and dulled my Forrest 10x40 Woodworjer II . Later Daniel

    You don't need a "casting" to hold a scrollsaw blade. It's hard to tell the demensions of this blade holder, but I have made some for my saws. Just take a 1/2" square x maybe 5/8" long piece of steel (available at the hardware store) ,drill and tap a hole in the bottom for your stud. drill and tap another hole ( for the one your set screws go into ) , then drill a small hole (maybe 1/8" ) in the top for your blade to go into. This hole should be about 1/2" deep or so. Screw one set screw into each side up to the blade hole ( use a little locktite on one hole) , insert blade into 1/8" hole and continue to screw each set screw from both sides until blade is centered in hole. You can even grind the end of the set screws flat before inserting to rest flat against blade. Taps are cheap, and you can use a wrench as a tap handle if you don't have one. Use cutting oil while tapping, and tap a turn and back it off and go again . later Daniel

    Thats normal movement for a good scrollsaw. That makes it more agresive on the down stroke My first saw I ever owned was an AMT $ 89.00 and the blade accually moved back on the down stroke and forward on the upstroke. Neadless to say it didn't cut very well , until I reworked it and added a veriable speed,blower etc. I still use it today for thin material ,small jobs. later Daniel

    Forgive me if this has been asked before. Can you tell when a Hawk v220 scrollsaw was made by the serial number. Mine is 23055 Thanks Daniel

    Hey Marg There is a book called " Scrollsawing Coins, Glass, Metals & more" by Dave Freeman. It shows how he cuts paper, glass ,coins, copper, even egg shell. Alot of it is used for jewelry. It also has plans and material for making your own blade lubricating tube for cutting glass. later Daniel

    This is a Dino door stop ( with baby dino ). If you move the legs to just the write postion then baby can be taken out. It's a fonderfull play toy for when the little visitors come over and it holds the door the rest of the time. later Daniel
