If it was me I'd probably strap the pie to the engine in your car and bake it on the way... You may not want to eat it but there is more importanter things to do.. I really hope you're able to get the saw.. seems like a really nice deal to me so hopefully you'll figure it all out..

I don't know if the laser printers are the same as the inkjet for the ink when buying a new one but i'm thinking mine was.. they say a new printer only has a small sample packs of ink to get the printer running out of the box but after you buy a replacement they do last longer so that's why I'm thinking that. My printer barely made it through one busy holiday season of printing packing / receipts etc. for my orders.. but the replacement went over a year at least.. maybe two years I don't exactly remember when I bought this.. Thinking I got it in fall of 2020.. I've replaced the original one and then another finally died and this fall I put another new one in.. I buy the XL ones so they are larger.. But I also do a lot of printing.. But, I was changing ink in my old Epson inkjet about once or twice a month one of another of the colors would go empty.. and it wouldn't work at all if one was empty the whole printer wouldn't use just black or whatever so it was ridiculous.. I was buying about 8 sets of XL cartridges a year with that thing and that's like $75 a pop..

I'd love to get me a color laser printer.. I only gave $99 for mine Brother BW laser printer and love it except I can't do my red lines for my patterns now.. But it's great for printing my packing slips and receipts etc for my sales. I did better this year than expected but I think I better stay a bit frugal and keep using the one I have for another year.. Sure glad you talked me into getting a laser one though.. I sure don't miss the inkjet and fussing with those dumb ink cartridge's or tanks

Used to be patterns in one of the magazines from some years ago.. I wouldn't know what magazine it was or what month issue as i used to get a couple different ones. I remember because I wanted to make one someday and was just thinking about it the other day.. Probably in the creative woodworks and crafts magazine because I didn't get the scrollsaw magazine but a year or two as it was only a quarterly magazine if i remember right.

Yeah I'd probably plan to take the legs off. I can get some measurements from my saw if you like.. I would think with the seats down in the back of your outback would give you enough length to fit it in assembled.. If you try without taking it apart I'd take some old blankets or pillows or something to help protect the saw should it slide or move in case of a need for hard stop is needed. Or if you have some straps or tie downs of some sort in the outback.. I can't remember if they have the tie down spots on those.. Been a while since I've been in one of those.

Welcome to the Village!! You can get the parts from Ray at Seyco scroll saw.. Here is a direct link.. https://seyco.com/product/excalibur-drive-link-complete-assembly/

I just checked his profile the other day to see if he's been on.. There are others that are / was regulars on here too that I hadn't seen post from in a while like JimErn.. hope I spelled that right.. anyway he's been on but not posting.

Not video but there is a lot of pictures and info from when I rebuilt mine..

Looking at the first picture it looks like it has the rear wheels option.. it does have the front handle to lift / tilt it back onto the wheels and roll it around.. These saws are heavy.. I believe the shipping weight of mine was 130lbs Having the wheels option is a big plus if you want to move it around. I don't remember what the option cost but guessing at least $60 - 80.. At times I wish I had the wheels.

They started around 2004 - 5 and I believe they switched to the BM-26 around 2011 ish.. but I'm not certain of the ending of the G426.. I do know it started 2004-5 though.. I think Rolf mentioned he got his new in 2005

I would say every 2 years is probably what I would do if I was to take the time to do it properly.. Maybe a weekend hobby person every 3-4 years.. but it does really boil down to how much use and abuse it gets.. so its difficult to really put a time frame without really knowing the run time of the saw..

Yes @Rolf has one and he probably could tell you more than I could on this specific saw model since I have not first hand with the particular model.. That being said the G426 is almost identical to the newest model saw ( a BM-26 ) which I do have.. Most of the parts for the BM-26 are shared with the G426 so really i think they're the same saw other than a different bearing set up on the motor itself. This saw was always known as the Cadillac of the Hawks and it sounds good to me in the video.. looks to be in good shape. I don't think it's been used much at all as there is no visible marks on the table top.. it looks to have the factory swirl marks on the top from being machined.. My new saw with almost 500 hours on it has worn the machining marks off so I'd say it has not all that much time on it. Not sure about your location.. but most of the G426 saws in my area are priced $600 and up so I'd say it's priced good. If it was close to me I'd be all over that.. I'd like to get a G426 just to mess around with and compare to my saw, LOL.. I would think if you didn't like it you should be able to get more than that out of it if you sold it.. Not sure how long she's had it listed.. but If anyone knows these saws in the area I would say it won't be there long.. At least in the market in my area..

I have some Trap and Skeet shooting designs done but haven't had the chance to make them yet..

I get a lot of request for engraving on the woodworker one. Flight nurse, painter one and this shooting range one. So to make space to do so I modify the patterns with the spot below like this one. Then engrave it upon request. I do not offer engraving but when asked I do them until I get too busy to do them.

Well it was the same way the last two + years for this one so I don't know when you posted it but most buyers are buying as small gifts for woodworker family and friends.. I get a gazillion request for different dog breeds.. which I do most of the request.. it's fairly easy in inkscape to place a silhouette of prefered dog breed and stack cutting has benefitted me because many have asked for the same dog breeds, LOL Still have some Labrador and Shepherds in stock.. but sold out of the original design.

The woodworker and his dog one.. I sold out again yesterday and I'm tired of making it so I relisted it as made to order and 15 days before it would be in the mail.. Still have 15 people having it in their shopping cart, lol .. This is just on Etsy.. I also have them on Amazon so that's kind of a double whammy... It's not hard to make but it does have all the small cutouts for the tablesaw that just annoys me to do so many of..

Thank you That is my favorite one too, that said I posted both on my personal facebook page and many commented on that one however I have several wanting the Paster one... My messenger gone crazy with messages of people asking to get one.. I would have thought someone would have claimed at least 1 of the cross ones.. Oh well, My favorite isn't always what everyone else's favorite is.. Needless to say I've got to run a few more batches of the Paster one.

I had his site bookmarked but then all of a sudden it quit working.. Then someone mentioned he made it a private site or something and you had to sign up to gain access to the site or something.. somehow I was able to get back in for a while but it stopped working so I haven't been on there in a long time.. I have many of the patterns and made many of them.. just be nice to go back and see what all is there again but it's kind of a hassle trying to get access too.. Maybe he has opened it back up now.. I think people were selling his patterns or something so he made it members only.. or something.. don't remember the details now.. Maybe I'll try google search and see if I can get on the site again.

Fortunately, I'm never done with ornaments, LOL.. they are my favorite to make and I make them all year long.. That said.. I do get burn out on making certain ones that tend to have a lot of inside cuts and people buy them like crazy. I made 50 to have in inventory and sold through them before November.. so I've cut a batch Stack cutting 5 at a time 4 ornaments to a blank making 20 in a batch.. I've done made 4 more batches since then and I just sold out again last night.. Making another batch this morning.. so yeah, I'm getting tired of cutting that one style.. But this last batch will get me through the rest of this year I believe as things should be winding down soon.. I'll take a break from sawing and do my bookkeeping / tax prep and by the time that's all done I'll be ready to hit the saw for next years inventory..

The locknut on the Pegas chucks is a joke.. Sorry but this is one minor flaw of the Pegas chucks.. They think because they put that locknut on that the set screw will not turn.. I ran into this same thing with my chucks.. I also didn't like the long screw and the nut just gives added weight to the chucks.. Now that you have it back to square keep an eye on it because it'll move again on its own.. What I did to combat that issue was remove the locknut and set screw and used a shorter one from a Excalibur and use blue loc-tite on it.. no issues after that.. For some reason the threads tolerance on the locknut and the set screw tend to be on the loose side which allows the set screw to spin still.. Probably in my own head but I swear the saw runs even smoother without the added weight of the locknut and longer set screw, LOL

I miss ARPOP, use to see a lot of nice work from them.. I haven't seen them in a long time.. they still doing patterns somewhere that I'm not aware of?

As a gift for being an awesome customer and for them placing a couple nice sized orders I decided even though I’m busy I wanted to make a special gift to give them so I worked a little extra late today and made these on the laser. Going to send one of each in this next batch of clocks that I’m mailing out tomorrow. I hope they like these and it could be a potential seller to them next time if there is a next time. I usually do a small gift gesture when I get a large order like these. BTW took a half ( 30 x 30) of bbply to finally get these designs to work. Get a laser they said, it’s easy just push the button and the parts spit out at you. Yeah okay maybe but a lot of scrap parts come out fast too.

Not sure why I haven't posted this before.. Just in case you didn't know if you sign up for their newsletter email they give out a free ornament pattern every month.. sometimes they are a pretty basic ornament while other times they have some pretty nice ones.. This is a screen capture of this months ornament they just emailed me today.. You likely wouldn't get this one if you sign up now but it might be worth it for a free 12 ornament patterns every year.. Most I've never used as they are not my style but someone here might like them.. To sign up just go to their site and a screen pops up to subscribe... https://woodenteddybear.com/

I have yet to buy any saw that was ready tuned and ready for work straight out of the box.. with the exception of the Hawk.. the two new Hawks I purchased was in fact tuned and square blade to table ext.. but Hawk also test every saw before it leaves the factory.. and the owners ( small family business ) are scroll sawers too so they know how to use the saws.. I believe Ray at Seyco also tunes the saws before they are sent out.. Not sure about Hegner but I assume they might be tuned too.. My point is.. you really do get exactly what you pay for when buying the mid range or lower saws.. My new table saw, miter saw, bandsaw, and not a single scroll saw was exactly tuned and running true aside from those mentioned above .. That said, yeah it would of worked straight out of the box.. just not work correctly.. I expect that I would have to tune any new saw purchase.. The people making them are just assembly line workers and probably most don't even know how to use one of the saws they are making..

Probably wouldn't hold up very long for how i would use it.. but it'd be nice to have something like this to spray a finish on projects without having to walk around the project or hold onto it somewhere while trying to spray it too, LOL...
