    The knob on mine does have a white line on it. Now that I know what to watch out for I'll try to remember to keep an eye on it.

    My saw is on a stand with wheels. By moving it I meant rolling it around. I figure I was occasionally grabbing the knob when I moved it.

    That was it, exactly!!! Many thanks folks, many thanks indeed. I think I was grabbing the knob when I occasionally had to move the saw around, not remembering what it did, Again, many thanks.

    Need help folks. I have an Anniversary Edition Excelsior 21" saw where the jaws have moved apart. the distance from the upper to lower jaw in the clamped position is around 5.38". I had noticed the last few times I'd used it that either the blades were shorter or something was out of adjustment but wasn't real concerned. Then this morning I went to change the blade and realized that one of the arms had moved, increasing the distance between the heads by around an inch!! I've had the saw from new, but of course I have absolutely no idea where the manual has gotten to. Sorry for the blurry photo, but the bottom of the blade is in the upper right hand corner of the photo, showing the gap I now have. I'm hoping for two things: 1) That the way more knowledgeable folks than me on this forum can tell me what I need to do to fix it and, 2) that it is nothing more than a simple adjustment. Thank you in advance folks!!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. This on is intriguing in that it transforms from points to waves as you move from the center out. It took a couple of tries to get the amount of twist figured out so it's smooth.

    Steve Good came out with this variation to his wobble bowl a little while back. This on is from 3/8" thick cherry, clear gloss lacquer finish.

    Not this one. To me CNC would take all the fun of tweaking it into working out of it! I believe it said the AK-47 has over 150 parts!!

    Thanks folks. If I make another one I will hollow out the grip to store spare ammo!!

    Saw this project over on Lumberjocks and had to give it a try. The plans are here, and there are 9 of them, even two that are fully automatic!! The derringer is next on my list to try. This one is 1/4" Baltic birch ply, and except for drying time can be knocked out in less than an hour.

    The Dragon is ALIVE and walking!! And as usually happens on projects like this, it worked great for the video, but now I get to spend a fair bit of time tweaking the gear train to get it to walk smoothly and consistently. I need to get some thin CyA glue to strengthen the threads in the gears so they they don't strip around the set screws. Thanks for looking folks. VID_20170610_105457224.mp4

    Unfortunately Len I didn't get many pictures of the interior before I closed it up. I had thought of making the trailer white, but don't really like to use solid paints on wood except for small parts or details. And I kinda like the slightly sinister aspect of the black trailer. This was never intended to be a scale model, but more of a sorta looks like, easily recognizable. And who knows, at some point if it doesn't sell, I might agree with you and make the reefer white! Thank You for the kind words folks.

    The Kenworth Project is finally finished. Tractor, Flat bed and Reefer. The fifth wheel actually locks, the tandems on the reefer are adjustable and the rear doors function. The interior of the cab is detailed as well. It was a fun project, but kinda glad it's finished, I kept thinking of details to add so it was time to call it. Thanks for looking.

    Just finished a pair of Pedaling Cyclist Old Tyme Toys. Found the pattern a while back and had made a couple that I left in natural wood. These two were made from a variety of scraps so I decided to try the color chart from the plans. Thanks for looking

    Thanks again for the kind words folks. I have added a video link on the original post.

    That is awesome!! You have WAY more patience than I!

    Thanks for the kind words folks. Sorry DW, no plans. I made sketches and then templates for my design. And even still I sometimes tweak a template here and there from one build to the next. I can tell you that counting the axles and axle pins there are 44 pieces to this little critter.

    You make a valid point Ranger Jay. The pictures were taken before I painted the ring black. I use a thin black cord with a wooden handle to finish it off.

    The latest dragon has been finished. I'm not sure, but I think this might be the 6th one i've done. It started with an article in a 2000 issue of Woodworking by a Mr. Hutchinson.I loved his design, but I wanted something a little more, well,,,,, dragon-ey. I used the article as the basis for my design, refining the shape of the body, head and tail, then adding articulated front legs. This version uses black walnut, maple and cherry. All four legs as well as tail, wings and head move when it is pulled along. Yes, it is a pull toy! Dragon Video

    I understand NC, no problem.

    NC Scroller and KYwoodmaster, I appreciate your input, but blade pricing was not the reason for the post. I just wanted to let people know about a vendor that does right by their customers.

    That's weird, when I tried it it went to their page. Anyway, I replaced the link. Hope it works for you now.
