  1. My main concern with anything with the label Delta on it is parts. Delta is pretty famous, least in my experience is not having parts for their products. But wait for more responses, Because I know very little about this particular model.
  2. Welcome, Cassie, glad to have you joing the village. This is a starting place right here on this forum: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/articles/beginner/ There a many good saws to choose from. Do you have a budget? Sometimes there are good deals on used ones to be found on Facebook Marker or Cragslist, but please ask here with the address of the listing before buying used or maybe any saw. Lots of experience here to suck info from. ALso search around for maybe a club near you.
  3. @munzieb is correct.. I have many of his patterns, done several of them, they are all first class by the way welcome to the village,, glad to have you and I am sure you will have lots to add. Hope we can help you along the way.
  4. Those are awesome pieces, I really like the way you finished them. Scary about the eye. Hard to totally protect them.. I of often thought it would be worth the cost to have some prescription googles made. Those safety glasses do not really protect as well as the advertise. Debris can still find it's way in.
  5. Nice job.. Your husband is a Marine, right? Coffee is a Marine's lifeblood!
  6. AWESOME-NESS! I was raised on a WWII war surplus jeep my Dad purchased for like $600. What I learned to drive in at 10 years old. It was our hunting rig, tractor and Dad's to and from work driver. And became a pretty good pick'em up, short race drag car in my freshman year of high school. I rolled my car. Dad said I could use the jeep. He had put a V-8 in it a few years before.. I cleaned it up. My brother painted it for me when he was in Auto shop a nice metallic gray. His girlfriend's mom re-did he seats for me in a nice red Naugahyde. I could beat any other friend's car through a stoplight. And got flagged down many time by girls wanting a ride. It was great time. Not real good for parking.. no back seat... front seats were pretty far apart. We had it until after I went into the service. Then Dad sold it.. all those years of fun with it and sold for $1600 with many miles on it. Later in life I bought a '68 CJ-7 Had it many years.. wish I had not sold it. Many times hunting Jack rabbits, friend sitting on the front fender and on top with .22s driving out across the sagebrush shooting the many many jack rabbits there was back then... No SIR! I would not change my life for any the modern day youth has.. they can have all their fancy things computer games, etc. I would not trade them for a minute. I loved my life as a kid living out in the country.. Hunting, fishing, free to do most anything outside of the city limits. Floating down the river on homemade rafts, going hunting with .22s any time. I do not think kids today really know what freedom is. I feel so sorry for them. The jeep got me excited and carried away. I shut-up now.
  7. Great idea! Awesome.
  8. I only used spirals to increase the kerf of some lines after first cutting with a straight blade.
  9. Very cool,, I always wanted to make one, but I would start out with an easier one. And probably get it finished.
  10. They look great! make a good front for a night light.
  11. My wife is using oxygen and I do not think she would do well scrolling, Unless you have superb dust collection or a good mask you can hook oxygen to. If not you are taking in find dust, and you do not want to add any more stuff to your lungs, no matter how fine it is. Sorry you are going though this, it is at best very inconvenient. But it is what it is. I smoked but was able to quit about 30 years ago. She could not. And I think if her lungs healed, which they cannot, she would smoke again... I know she still misses it. She has other problems also and in constant pain. I don't think her pain is related to the smoking. I am 4 years older than her and I am her care giver... My cooking may kill her quicker than anything else. I am not good at it. Thank God for prepared things that I can that I can throw into the micro-wave or oven.. My cooking is so good, I have lost 18 pounds in the past 6 months. Her also. So if you need a diet plan,,, hire me as your cook. You had better like lattice salads.
  12. I just checked her profile. She last visited on 11/30/2021.. Hope she is okay.
  13. Very nice
  14. Great picture and a great frame.
  15. Makes two of us, Dick.. If iT wasn't for @munzieb encouragement and coaching I would have never complete the Diesel train engine project. I wish he lived closer so I and you could all go to launch together or something.
  16. Both are very well done.
  17. I like it. Secretive, quiet like a panther would be at night.
  18. silly idea use AI to make a scroll saw pattern of a picture! Maybe I do not know.
  19. Dick I always knew you were more talented and smarter than me... I would NEVER thought of that! What gave you that idea?!
  20. Well, I am no artist, but I agree with above, unpainted, lacquered and I would tape it off and paint both hearts red! I warned you I am not an artist. It looks great as is also.
  21. Well you did a great job! Tell us about the propellers, I have never seen that before.
