  1. We are looking forward to having you here. Thanks for joining us.
  2. I wax all my tool table tops about 4 time a year. I have a piece Masonite top of my scroll saw table tight now and I even wax it.
  3. Look great sitting on the Patio. Great job. I have been trying to get my son-in-law to build one for his patio. He thinks I should build it, but he is very capable.
  4. Thanks for the input. The main bearing is not a sealed bearing (see picture). My saw is not quite 2 years old. Fact when I got the owners manual out I noticed it still has a couple months under warranty. Guess I voided that by taking it apart, but where I live there is no maintenance or warranty type outfits. So I would probably have had to do it myself anyway. I tried all the adjustments I could find on the internet. Nothing seemed to improve it much. This may not fix it either, but wanted to try. I'm thinking that if it does, I will try to get new bearing for the old drive and replace them. Have a backup.
  5. Sir, you got well paid. That is good stuff!! The picture is much worth it.
  6. Finished cutting this a.m. (before I tore my saw apart). This is a piece of Basswood about 10" x 5.5". The picture is 8" x 3.5". I lost a few little pieces, anyone that has done this pattern will see the places, but I had a great time with it. 90% or more done with a #2/0 Penguin Silver Flying Dutchman blade. I beginning to really like that little blade.
  7. As to whether I can get this back together or not! I just could not take the vibration anymore, so being stubborn I decided to try to fix it myself. I order a new leakage assembly for the Ex. It came today so heck dive in. The instructions were typical of these things. They are for an Excalibur of about three generations ago. But looking/reading the instruction and my owners manual parts pictures I was able to get it apart and the old linkage out. I'm hung up now because I know nothing about grease, and the main bearing on the new linkage is not greased. This is what my saw now looks like, my scrolling days may be over, and this is the only type of grease I have on hand. Anyone able to recommend a grease or is this good enough? Think I can get this thing back together???
  8. Fine job. They will be very proud to have them.
  9. Well done and congratulations on you new family member. I envy you, I want another dog real bad, but the wife says no way. I'd like a lab. Great dogs. Nice job on the scrolling.
  10. Never was able to finish a movie of theirs that I started. Not my kind of humor, but you certainly did a great job on that pattern and cutting.
  11. Wonderful job on the cross.
  12. Nice work. Your hubby is into a great hobby. I helped my son with it when he was young. He liked to fly them I like to build them.
  13. I like Popular. Always check it out when I go to H. D. It can have some neat colors. Congrats. You will enjoy.
  14. That is really nice. It is always exciting to get the pattern off clean it up and put it on a backer. Always looks even better than you think it well.
  15. You are on a roll. Great cutting, all of them.
  16. Okay there has to be a story behind that. Nice scrolling.
  17. Very cute and useful.
  18. Beautifully done. Beautiful wood and a great selection.
  19. I love this kind of art. Have some pattern/images I saved a long time ago, but never got around to figuring how I would do it. You really did a beautiful job with yours.
  20. Still turned out real nice. You are really getting this scrolling stuff down.
  21. Great picture! My folk and brother had a couple flower shops for years. I work with them when I was in high school and after I got out of the service. Delivering flowers was a great job. When I retired, I went to work part time delivering flower. What a great retirement job. I did it for around 10 years after I retired. My wife got some Shari's Berries and Sheri's cheese cake bites. She has been sick with the flu and and hasn't got to eat them yet.
  22. So, in my opinion, the solution, Danny, is to buy a saw that you can do either on. DeWalt, Excalibur, Delta......
  23. Here is one option that was posted the other day: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/18110-new-to-me-a-better-way-to-drill/?hl=chuck I bought a mini chuck that you put in a drill press once but it was worthless. My current drill press will hold them. My old one would not. Some one wrote just in the past few days about the Dremel work station.
  24. darn, thought I was onto something..
