    This is NOT a scroll saw project, so please remove it if necessary Travis. I'm posting it because I came home yesterday morning after having coffee with "THE BOYS", and I walked in the house and saw this displayed in our living room. Ann Marie, my wife, took down all the Halloween deorations and she said the house looked too dull, so she had some very small hay bales that she uses in our NATIVITY scene and some small pumpkinsand she placed them in the stake truck to add a little FALL/Thanksgiving to our home. The truck is a pattern from WOODSMITH magazine. I made this about 5 years ago and it never looked so good. Rick

    I saw this LED on Pintrest and I tried to find it using google & Amazon, there was no information on the supplier or the price. I think this would be a great light to use in a Nativity scene that I am cutting for my niece. In my search on the internet, I found a gazillion other lights,but not one like this, has anyone seen this. Thanks for your help Rick

    @OCtoolguy Hey Ray, sorry, we aren't having any luck in posting that drawing. If you go to the GROBET site, that is where I got the image, but it was truly just luck. As we all know, "EVEN A BLIND SQUIRREL GETS A NUT ONCE IN A WHILE" Rick

    @OCtoolguy Ray, I have a schematic drawing that I somehow found on the internet, I will try to get this posted sometime today. I tied twice to get it copied to this response, but I may as wel ave tried to fly an F-14. I don't have any idea on how to do it, but my wife will be home shortly, and believe me, she is the BRAINS of the house. Rick

    @kevin I absolutley agree with you abot GROBET, I sent an e-mail asking for some guidance and I didn't get any return. Denny tried to guide me through some trouble shooting, but after I spent a little more time, I realized that the spring was under compression. I thought I was going to have to order a new clamping head, but after some GENTILE persuasion, the head move slightly and then I realized what the problem was. So far, so good, the saw(EX21), with the PEGAS clamps, is working and I can get the Christmas cards done for my wife so she can start her part of the project. Thnks for your help with the pictures. Rick

    @Scrappile Thanks for thye reassuring words. It took me a while, but I finally traced the problem to the clamping section, and found the blade holder bound up. I'm not mechanically inclined, but I usually can find a problem with something, just before I toss it out.

    Saturday morning, thankfully, my saw is working again. As it turns out, I didn't need any parts at all, the blade holder(#41D) on the drawing, was bound up , and had the spring locked at full compression. I sprayed some dry lube on it and after a while, I finally got it to budge. It took more effort than I would have expected, to free up the holder, but where would we be without effort. This has been an awful learning experience, but I hope it's over. Now onto the 38 Christmas ornaments for our families. Thanks for the help. Rick

    Kevin, the spring in your illustration, which is drawn over my photo, needs to be there. I believe there is supposed to be s spring that goes over the Rod, but when I pulled the pin out of the tension lever, I did not see a spring fly out. I ordered the parts from Denny, and he is sending me a schematic drawing of the chuck head, so I can see the break down. Thanks again for all your help, I'll let all you guys know how the fix works, when i get back on the air. Rick
  12. Hudson River Rick
    THANK YOU ALL . Once again this group MAY HAVE solved the problem. I say MAY HAVE, because I don't recall a spring being under the white tension lever, but as we all know S#&@ happens. My guess is that the spring is in NEVER NEVER LAND, hiding in a dust pile and soon to be spinning around in my cyclone dust collector.

    @kmmcrafts Thanks for your reply Kevin. I know now that I should have asked how to remove the podt so I could insert the new spring. When I tried to remove the post, there was a good amount of resistance, and I'm not sure if it is a press fit or are ther threads on the rod? @OCtoolguyThank you. Please see my reply to Kevin @dgman Thank you for your resonse. Please see my reply to Kevin

    Can someone please help me with my Pegas Blade holder problem ? I just ordered the replacement spring for the tension lever from Denny, and I have removed the lever, but I am not sure if the post that is under the lever should also be removed. As you can see from the picture, the spring is below the post, I don’t think that tension would be applied to the lever in that configuration. Thanks in advance for any help.

    @Charlie E, Great cutting on a BEAUTIFUL piece. Thanks for sharing. Rick
  16. Hudson River Rick
    HOLY COW, Kris, you did it again. Every time you put up a new piece I think this man is a true artist. I no longer have to think about it, Thanks for sharing. Just in case, the PUN was intended. Rick

    WELL DONE, MARGE Thanks for sharing. Rick

    @Wichman Thank you again, I will try that tomorrow. I'm going to pop open a cold Sammy Adams "Octoberfest" and watch my N.Y. YANKEES. They're back home at the STADIUM, so I hope they will go 2 up tonight. Rick

    @Wichman Thank you Wichman. I actually did try to save it as "inkscape SVG (*.svg) ". When I hit save, inkscape comes back and says there already is a file that exists under that name, then asks if I would like to over ride it, when I say yes, it appears to be saved, but I can't find the file anywhere. This didn't happen until the WMF box appeared some time ago, that makes me think that somewhere along the line, these chubby little fingers of mine hit a wrong key. Thank you for trying to clear me up.

    Once again, I am asking my INKSCAPE firends for help. The box below started to appear on my screen recently. It pops up when I try to save something that I am working on, in this case, it was a picture of entwined wedding rings that I am trying to change the photo to a red line drawing. I don't even know if that is possible, I am pretty much computer illiterate, I guess I was born 78 years too soon. I thank you in advance for any assistance. The title of the box is WMF Output. Rick

    @Wichman, Really nice gift and adding the photo puts it over the top. Thanks for sharing. Rick

    Hey Kevin, can you share where you got that Corvette pattern, the one you are throwing in the burn pile. THANKS I saw it on the WOE IS ME post
  23. Hudson River Rick
    Another GREAT pattern, Kris. Thanks for sharing. Rick

    @Charlie EMy sincerest sympathies to you and your family. My brother passd about 10 months ago after a very hard fought battle with alzhimers, I miss him very much. Like your sister, we have no grandchildren, but are so very luckey to be close to my nieces and their children, in fact, they were with us last week at the JERSY SHORE. As we all know, TIME HEALS MOST WOUNDS, AND WE ARE DETERMINED TO REBOUND FROM THIS. We all made sure the little ones had a fun time at the beach. RICK

    @Wichman Thanks for remembering all our veterans, you did an excellent job on that pattern. Can you please share where the pattern for the font Z003 is available. Rick
