  1. A very peaceful pattern that brings back many wonderful memories from yesterday's gone by. Very well done Rob.
  2. A clean pattern that's very eye catching making a person wanting to take a second look. Well done Dick.
  3. Very nicely cut marine emblems Al. Well done.
  4. Congrats again my friend. Beautiful work.
  5. Congrats My friend. Love aromatic cedar. Well done.
  6. Terrific cutting of a fine pattern Jim and nicely framed. Well done.
  7. Black is effective but red I think is a little more so. Again, awesome Ralph. Well done.
  8. Well done John.
  9. That may have worked 15 - 20 years ago Theresa when the world was larger and not moving as fast as it is today. I would suggest work smarter, not harder. I think today you would have greater success creating your own web page linked to social media such as LinkedIn,Twitter, Facebook and any other popular social media site. Good luck with your decision.
  10. Awesome Theresa. Very fine cutting and beautiful choice of woods. Well done.
  11. Very nicely cut, and beautully finished Momti. Well done.
  12. Excellent Dan. Burning oak can be tricky. You've done a fabulous job framing and finishing. Like very much.
  13. Congrats Don. Enjoy your Ex.
  14. Never had problems with tear out when stack cutting. I use 1/8" BB Ply and stack at the most 4 but usually only 3. Blade size will vary from 0/2 - 3. Sounds like a dull or improper blade.
  15. Excellent and beautiful Rob.
  16. Fabulous and a beautiful cross Ralph. I would apply a semi or gloss poly finish. Black backer looks great but a red backer may be more effective. Well done.
  17. Awesome Dan. Just a thought re: Santa's beard. Undoing the mop threads and brushing may help make his beard more hair like. Did this on my rocking horse. Mind you I used macrama.
  18. I would difinitely return saw for a refund and in turn test drive a few different scrollsaw brands and models within your budget. Keeping in mind throat size that will satisfy your needs for many years, build quality (preferably domestically made) service, operation of saw and etc. Then you'll be more informed to making a decision that'll suit your needs and chances are saving yourself many dollars. I honestly can't recommend one over the other being I don't know your type of scroll sawing desires. I wish you the best with your final decision.
  19. Like Paul indicated Perry you can use same blades as if cutting wood. I think I had used a #5 when I cut the cougar out of moose horn.
  20. When I run into this situation Paul I file the tip of blade to a fine point. A little more time consuming but well worth it in the end.
  21. Beautiful turning Tony.
  22. How can you go wrong Les. The stand alone is probably worth $100.00. It's a steal if the saw is fully functional to your satisfaction. The Hawk is a quality machine. All the best with your decision.
  23. Both are very nice Dave, but I prefer the one stained. Well done.
  24. Welcome Casey from the Great White North.
