  1. I live on the West Coast. I have been watching scroll saw sales on local Craigslist and Facebook Market. I didn't count but it seems that there are a lot of Hawks from the middle to upper-end saws. Like from Excalibur type on up. They outnumber the Hegners several times over, like 8 or even more to 1 or more. The Excalibur types by 4 to 1, just a guess. But it is interesting. I know Hawk, is a top-of-the-line saw. I want one. But, to me. it has had its ups and downs. Improvement over the years. Whereas Hegners, have had little minor changes, all easy to identify and understand. For myself, I am cautious about Hawks because for a "top of the line" saw I do not know what to buy. The Hawks have had a pretty wide range of changes, from the type of clamps, to motors, to tension mechanisms to customer service, and availability. I know many here have the Hawks and are very happy with them. So, please help me understand this.
  2. That brightens the fence up.. Make more different colors and spread them out along the fence. I will keep this in mind in case I have a wood fence. Maybe it has a place on my chainlink fence also.
  3. Yep, I also love Kokopelli! I gave him a ukulele to play with when I used him for sound hole decoration on a cigar box ukulele I made.
  4. You could try contacting her. I have always received replies to messages I have sent her.
  5. very nice cutting,
  6. Great work and that granddaughter one is priceless. She is going places in her life. Spunky. Great to see active kids.
  7. I guess I did not read the full piece all I saw was Amazing Grave. Well, I tried.
  8. Hum. I found it yesterday and thought I have responded to you, but guess I did not hit the send button. Anyway, it is Sheila Landry's https://sheilalandrydesigns.com/scroll-saw-patterns/amazing-grace-sectional-pattern/
  9. I think that is a Sheila Landry pattern: https://sheilalandrydesigns.com/scroll-saw-patterns/amazing-grace-sectional-pattern/. Her patterns are great. By the way this thread is from 2019 so the original poster may not be on here anymore. He last signed in 10/2023
  10. Very well done and beautiful.
  11. I have some short steel bars I use. Yes, those irons would work nice. I have two that even have handles on them. I wonder it my wife would notice if I moved them to my shop.
  12. Yes, there is one in a town near me that I inquired about over six months ago. I was told it was sold. Still listed. Maybe the sale fell through. But I wrote and asked a couple of months ago and got no response but still listed.
  13. What do you make of this? I messaged the seller and asked if he would please send me the serial number of the saw, thinking I would call Hawk to see what is the age of the saw. This was the third message to him about the saw in a little over a month. I waited three weeks or so for a response and got nothing. I did not think that was an excessive number of questions, considering I would be spending around $500 plus a 600-mile round trip. After I waited, for several weeks I sent another message and stated I would really like to know the serial number of the saw and for him not to respond made me a little suspicious. Well, I got an answer back, telling me to do something "---- off" and He was selling the saw for his dad, quit asking him questions. Then the listing of the saw disappeared from Marketplace. So maybe he sold it all of a sudden. Or maybe it was not a legit deal, I do not know.
  14. Another great job, barb! I know you are a boater and this is your boating season, but have you figured out a place on your yacht for a scroll saw and maybe some sanding tools? What could be a more peaceful place to scroll than anchored in some beautiful cove?
  15. One of a kind for sure. Love it!
  16. Well, that takes me back! She had a recent birthday. Still looks pretty good. But I see her with 80-year-old eyes.
  17. I agree, very nice, simple but eloquent! But what heat. Going too be 90°+ tomorrow, but remember it is the first day of summer. It should be hot! That is what we all look forward to all Winter!
  18. Jeaheon, where have you been? I Have not seen you on here for some time or if you have I have missed it. I Hope all is well.
  19. Well done. Very appropriate.
  20. Great pattern, Charlie. Maybe you should have left the little guitar on the pattern. It is a nice touch.
  21. great remembrance
  22. the second "E" is silent anyway! I am so bad at grammar and spelling that I downloaded the free "Grammarly". I Would like to get the premium version.
  23. WOW! Marie. That is a beautiful box. The "craftswomanship" is outstanding!
  24. Steve Good pattern catalog, search "jewelry tray"
  25. Well I did finally get a response from Hawk. Not from their contact method on their website but from their FaceBook page. This it what the response if from them: If that is an older stand, It sure was well cared for. I don't see a scratch on it. Mystery. I did message the owner and ask for a serial number, no response so far.
