What you have John is priceless. Especially the history to go along with it and the saw it was made on. You definitely want to keep this in the family. A very beautiful piece of fret work your grandfather had done. I thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work DW and all nicely finished. Haven't had time to think of Xmas let alone getting back into the shop. Have a few days off so hoping to get a new project started.
Reminds me of the pump organ I have dated back to 1885. It has knee pedals to control the volume. I've used a foot pedal on the scroll saw for several years and wouldn't do without one.
