    I worked in the Machine Shop for about 50 years and I now wear hearing aides.The scroll saw don't seem to bother me any. but I guess each person is different. My wife says that they haven't cured my selective hearing. I use the foam ear protection when I go out shooting. I got these aids from the VA so I don't think they are any better than any other aids.

    I have it I got it in the Machine shop. I have never had surgery It's not that bad, but I use a carpel tunnel brace , and I use the lever that Steve Good has on his Long list of patterns. now it only bothers me if I saw for a long period. I usually take a 1/2 hour brake every couple hours. I have had 3 operations for cancer and not ready for a nother one.I had a check up on the 21st and am cancer free now. IKE

    when I bought the DW 788 I mounted it on rubber pads. I did that with all my scroll saws before I ever turned one on. It softens up any vibrations it may have. IKE

    When i cut fretwork I wouldn't consider blue painter tape. I have made shelves with 250 to 300 holes in them .Blue tape is a big pain removing on that type work so I use re positional spray glue directly on the paper , in fact I use it most of the time. I use mineral spirits to remove the pattern It's a lot easier IKE

    If you have never used a Scroll saw before I don't think I would go for the top end saws, yow may not like scrolling or might not be able to do it I have some friends who tired it and didn't like it. they say that the porter cable is a good starter saw at $300 I had one and returned it after a week. didn't like the chaining of the blade. I had two Dewalt's 788 one used and one new Both were worn out with in 2 years and the cost was too high to repair. The new one was in the shop within 6 months the electronics went out on it and the service was rotten, so This time I B bought a Delta for $400 and ran it all summer with no problems and it has a 5 year Werrenty The delta is not a digressive as the Dewalt. so it takes a little longer to cut a project.

    sanding fret work, if it needs sanding I use a sanding mop . a 6 inch style that I made it works real well . There is a a you tube that tells how to make one. use cloth back emery . I have a 150 grit because it is what I had. it cost about $16 to make but last for years.A new one will cost $15 to $30 if you buy one you would want one 5 to 6 inch one much smaller than that is too stiff.

    Glad to hear that you are now on your way to being self sufficient I have now just became sufficient for this year. I now have about #299 dollars left over but that won't last long.But this is a hobby and If I don't break even that's all right . It useallly takes about 3 craft sails per year to do it. IKE

    I sell mostly at craft shows. I tried some on line selling but didn't care for it. I do ell some at home nothing formal just by word of mouth.This is just a hobby and my main interest in selling is to support my hobby this year my income is above above expenses by $300. IKE
