  1. My first saw was a Craftsman that you had to insert a "U" shaped thingy in the holder, and the arm to hold the blade clamp in place while you put the blade in. Had to use an allen wrench to loosen and tighten the clamp. It was a nightmare. I finally got tired of getting down on my knees to put the blade into the bottom clamp. So, I built a table top to mount the saw on that was hinged. I would lift the table top up so the saw was on it's side while I changed the blades. Some engineer really put his heart and sole into designing the saw clamps!! I worked with it for years when I only used the saw occasionally, but when I really started getting interested in fret work, I had to do an upgrade. That little Craftsman saw still sits in my daughter's garage on it's little hinged table. Hasn't been used in years.
  2. Very nice! Everyone must have spring fever all these bird houses. I feel it also.
  3. Nice work on that piece.
  4. Very nice, for sure.
  5. Matt, so glad it worked out for you. I think you will really love your saw.
  6. Okay, I see no way to give you less than an A++ for that one. Very well done.
  7. Well done, Kevin!
  8. Very nice.
  9. I got mine the same day I ordered. Hope mine look as good as the ones posted here.
  10. wonderful job on the intarsia.
  11. Darn, my eyes skipped over the "cupcake" part of the original post. Sorry. The one I posted the link to would not work for that.
  12. Here is a nice plan. This guy is great to deal with, I have purchased several of his plans. http://www.finescrollsaw.com/ferris-wheel.htm
  13. I use to cut 1/8" stacked 2 or 3 at a time with no problem. I stack cut 2 1/4" pieces often with no problem. I use the 3/0 spiral.
  14. Welcome to the village. I have already looked at the work you have posted here and your blog spot. Great work, I have a feeling we will be learning from you. Glad you joined us and are willing to share.
  15. Well done. Great piece of wood for that picture.
  16. Awesome work.
  17. One of the nicest portrait picture I have seen. Great work on the pattern and cutting.
  18. You did very nice job of it. I have that pattern to try someday.
  19. Some very nice cutting and finishing. Great photos also.
  20. Very nicely done, Ike.
  21. I'd have them give me a new one. The dust collector thing is common and most get rid of it as soon as possible, but the rest of the problems are unacceptable and you should get a new saw. That is my opinion at least.
  22. You did a beautiful job on those. I've looked at that little cowboy pattern a zillion times, and thought I would like to get it, but not sure. After seeing it cut I really think I will have to get it. I've done the wolf one. It was my third or fourth cut with spirals. Keep trying with the 3/0. It is a great blade, and I think it will be your favorite. Very nice work on these.
  23. That is an outstanding piece!
