    To @BadBob, @jerry walters, @Scrappile, We had them growing also.. I still enjoy playing with them. yeah, it was a lot of work. (Not really) Mainly cuz my head was up my you know what a couple of times. My table saw died on me so I ripped and cross cut the pieces on my bandsaw. I routered the grooves and 45’s in basement shop (too cold to do it in shed). That was a big mistake! I can’t believe how much dust there was even with dust collector. The roof trusses were cut on the scrollsaw saw. there are a few YouTube videos on how to make these which actually make it easier than a person would think. All in all, Im very happy how they turned out, better than I thought they would. By the way, anyone have a recommendation for a table saw?

    A 150 piece Lincoln log set. I did not target 150 pieces, just got lucky. Logs are poplar. Roof trusses and slats made from scrap walnut and pine. I made two sets.

    I know I’ve already commented, however Im thinking of taking you up on the challenge. Therefore I do have a question. Did you cut the parts at 90 degrees or did you have the blade at an angle?

    Very very nice! Chess sets are one of my favorite things to make. What woods did you use? I’m not a fan of poly for the same reason. I hope you and your wife keep getting better

    I also went from DeWalt to Pegas style saw(Excalibur) then to Hegner. I truly don’t think there is that difficult of a learning curve for the Hegner. It was rather painless for me. The table on the Hegner is much smaller than the Pegas. Hasn’t been an issue at all (for me). I do have to wax the table on the Hegner much, much more often than I do on the Excalibur. The only other maintenance is a few drops of oil on the arm every 10 hours of operation. Like Kevin said, if you do a lot of angle cutting, the Pegas wins hands down. That is the only time I use my Excalibur. Other than that, I’m using my Hegner. If I had to, would I buy another Excalibur/Pegas type saw? Nope. But I’d buy another Hegner in a heartbeat. If you go with Pegas, deal with Denny, he’s a good one to work with.

    That is really, really cool! I’ll have to check out the pattern. Being that I am a Clown, I gotta ask, does a clown fish taste funny? (Sorry, I couldn’t pass that one up.)
