There is a gentleman on the scroll saw workshop forum that recently got an estimate on that. He was told around $200 to rewind. Miles per gallon may vary....
Increase it by 75% Right? don't know the formula I divided 8 into 14 got 1.75 the one being 8" so to get it to 14 you need to go the 75% larger?? or maybe you increase by 175% percent, ya,,,no,,,,maybe. YA 175%!! I'm old, maybe my math is also.
This is one Neptun posted a Feb., 24 or so and I really like the pattern. It is or was for me more difficult than I thought it would be. Some very delicate area. In fact, I added a couple bridges because I did it in a piece of Basswood, and Basswood is very soft and not very strong. I hope I did it justice. I really like the pattern.
I have read discussion on here about having motor problems with DeWalt saw, and how it was cost prohibitive to replace a motor. I was on E-bay this A.M. and ran across this posting. I do not know if this is a good price or not. It is another place to look though.

Thanks for the kind comments. I keep think/wishing I had used a lighter wood, like maple. The Bloodwood would have really "popped" then. Maybe one of these days I will get some more thin bloodwood and try it again. Then again maybe I will never get around to it....
Really a great job on that picture and the fact that you may been to the site, really gives it more meaning to you.
For removing the tape/pattern from the wood, this if the best tool I have found for me. X-acto blade #18. The best place I have found to buy them is "topnotchartsupply" on Ebay. Best price and service.
The only way I have been able to get photos placed in a post where I want them is to upload them to a photo storage site (I use photobucket) and put the link to the photo where I want the picture to appear.
I was in my wife's sewing room a while back and noticed she did not have a clock in there. I decided to make her one. This is a bit different, I got the pattern from Sue Mey's site. I used Black Walnut and some Blood. I was hoping the blood wood would not have turned as dark as it did when I put the finish on, but you don't always get exactly what you want. And the reason it is not finished, the hands for the clock were not in the package when I received the movement. My order clearly states the hands I wanted. Remains to be seen how that will turn out.
C and C's welcome. My wife does not know about it yet, when I get the hand thing settled, I will hang it in her room and see how many months to by before she notices...
Cindy, I said welcome to you in the other thread you posted, but wanted to say it more proper here. So glad you decided to join in and mingle with us. Great bunch of people that like to share and help each other out. I think you will enjoy you stay.
