WOW! Really nice!

Nice stuff! That family one,,, love it, will have to visit Sue's site again.

Congratulations! Very much deserved award.

Fine job.

Again, Roland, welcome to the forum, no doubt from the looks of you first intarsia project you well be teaching soon. I think you will enjoy the Village.

Oh, sir that is nice! Give you great points with mother-in-law.

Just got to say, I recently joined Imgur photo hosting site, and it is nice. Especially compared to Photobucket. So fast and easy to put pictures there.

I think this is a great thread, and thank you Scott for stepping up and responding. Please believe, that many of us here truly want your company to succeed. There are currently only two saws that I feel are in the production saw class. Yours and Hegner. I'd hate to see either not succeed. I own a Hegner, and may some day own a Hawk. I like fine, durable, precision tools. And although I am not rich, scrolling does not require a large inventory of tools like some woodworking hobbies. Fact since I really got into scrolling, I have sold some of my other tools to pay for my scroll saws. So yes, Hegner and Hawk are expensive, but when they are the main hobby, the total expense for tools is less. Least that is how I justify to my self why I can spend the money on higher end scroll saws. Anyway. Welcome Scott, thanks for stepping in.

Same rosin used to "rosin up your bow" like in violin only in powder form. Can be purchased at lots of places online..Amazon, Ebay, sports medicine stores...

other than the dinosaurs, next two most popular will be bunny and butterfly... Is your daughter getting her fair share of your success??

Hotshot, I 100% agree with you. Not on just scroll saws, but everything that has a Warranty. The warranty is only as good as the company will stand behind it. They always have an out. My only comfort on the Hegner warranty is the company I purchased it from. Advance Machinery, from the dealing I had with them is a good company. When I first bought my Hegner from them, I had all kinds of trouble getting it to work on the small blades I intended to use on it. Through emails and phone calls, they worked with me... I was told, more than once "do not worry, Paul, we are going to stick with you until the Hegner is the only saw you will want to use" or something like that. And they did (it was me, not the saw). Seyco is also a great company to deal with, and I hope Hawk is also. Think about it, these guys are scroll saw people. DeWalt, Delta, etc. the service is hit and miss, you take your saw to a service center and the techs may not even be able to spell scroll saw. If you get a knowledgeable one you are in luck. If not.... and odds are on the, if not. Please, I do not mean this as a put down on the saws, I owned a DeWalt, it was a good saw, and fortunately I never had a problem with it, but if I had, I know my local service center would have been no real help. They probably worked on a scroll saw once every 5 - 10 years, if that. I also like having a saw I feel comfortable that I will be able to get parts for in the future. The big companies have a record of discontinuing parts at their will. Delta is notorious for that. None of this is exclusive to scroll saws. Or even tools, but I have a Steel City table saw. Ever hear of it? Great table saw. I sure hope nothing goes wrong with it, They went out of business several years ago.....

I do not think the are above it, however there are lots of forums, and things are missed and they are busy. Just saying this way they are sure to see it or at least should see it. I know Ray Seyco appreciated my action. It also nudges them a little when they see the volume of exposure, that is if they need nudging.

I used 1/2", because it was what I had. It works and it will stand alone, but I think the 5/8" to 3/4" would be better, and what I will use in the future.

Certainly nice to have you join us. I think you will enjoy you time here. Lots to learn and lots to teach, so use this great place. Don't forget to check out the tutorial and such in the Articles section. Happy scrolling!

When Doug purchased his Seyco and wrote his thoughts, it involved good criticism and pointed out short comings for the new saw. With Doug's permission, I sent Seyco an email with the link to the discussion on this forum. Ray, in my opinion took it in the correct light and responded well. Fact he even called me and Doug to discuss the issues. I had a stake in it because I had a Seyco on order. I think is was a good thing, I'm pretty sure the sellers don't go through the different forums to see what is being discussed about their product. Might be helpful is a concerned Hawk owner did that with this thread.

Kevin: http://thechronicleherald.ca/wheelsnews/101283-classic-car-showcase-whippet I think you must of heard or read of it, a little before your time. Very nice puzzle, well cut. They are fun.

Good on you and you wife. Nice project.

Nice job. He will love it.

And, it does "pop". Beautifully I might add. Great team effort.

You have done yourself proud. Really nice work. I want to make some of the winebottle/glass holders for some friends.

Very nicely cut. Great picture also.

Well done, Sir!

Consider fingers crossed. This is a bummer. Personally I don't believe a little jostling around would hurt a well made saw. I'm more inclined to suspect, they are over sold for their small business and are rushing the production, making error or something on that order.Whatever the problem I really hope it is worked out and, like you say this is a fluke. I do have to hand it to you loyal DeWalt guys. I keep reading about the problems they have, but people like them and stick with them. I had one and liked it while I had it but after replacing it with my an Excaliur, the DeWalt went to the okay saw category, the Ex was in the Better category. But I don't think either are production saws, the production saws are the Hegner and the Hawk. Noted for longevity and low maintenance. I hope the Hawk does not dwindle from that standard. Anyway, I am hoping the second saw is great and works for your needs. Please keep us posted.

Very well done. I agree with DW. Those should sell.

I have hit the blade many time over the years, never drew blood. Guess I am just a tough skinned old Fart. Fell 12 ft. out of a tree the other day and after a few minutes laying there looking up at the tree I decided I was still alive, slowly got up to make sure nothing was broken and went back to work. Few bruises, sore spots, but everything is still working. Life is good,,, so far.
