Scrappile

Very nice cuttings. I have a friend who plays pickleball a lot.

You really did a great job on those. I can see why you like them so much!

I don't see the tension adjuster on this G-4. Does it not show once set? Or is it missing on this saw?

Well there is this one https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1204750027178386/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A05cfc681-c045-4db3-9b4c-10b858bce7bd/ way out of my price range.. I found one of these listed on craigslist a few years ago. Can't remember the asking price around $750/. I offered maybe a trade for a 03A3 I have that is in pretty pristine condition.. He got all excited and I had to pause..Did research and those rifles were selling for $1000. I paid $20 for it back in the late '60s through the NRA. I also purchased an M-1 carbine at the same time same price that I still have. Maybe I looked at it wrong...Maybe I should have looked at as I was getting a nice e G-4 for $20! No matter in todays "free" world I can not sell or give that rifle to someone with out going through a dealer and back ground checks.. Ha! HA! watch me.

That one id gone anyway.. I do not know why they do not remove the ad

Check out the WEN scroll saws. They are very similar, maybe the same, there are a couple of people here that started with them and did some nice scrolling. They also had good experience with WEN customer service I think. But keep in mine they are beginner saws and I think those people have moved on since. But maybe one will speak up here. I do not know if Ryobi customer service is the same.

I have a Hegner scroll saw which I am 100% satisfied with. But I cannot help looking at Hawk saws. I have never used one but it I could get a great deal I would be greatly tempted to buy one. I would prefer a 26" but would not rule out a 20". My problem is I do not know enough about them. I am concerned about what to look out for. there are different clamps, some good some not so good. I want the some good ones, There are motor some good some can not be fixed.. I want the some good ones. The are other thing that one should know about them. In my area say within 200 miles of me there a quit a few Hawks listed on Facebook market. They are ranging from $100 to $1200. There are some that have been listed for a long time. They look good but I do not want to pay the price. Some have been listed for quite a while. The look good ones that have been list for many week I am thinking of making a low ball offer on. But I am very hesitant to make an offer I may be stuck with and find out it was not a good saw to begin with. I will give an example and you hawk people tell me how good it is. This one has been listed for several weeks. Looks good but I want to low ball offer of like $200 -$250. Would it be a great deal at that price. And I read good things about Ultra ones how do I know when I am looking at one of those. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1024624172155898/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A24bf04ec-aff3-4df6-8a9f-2231760df095

I have shown this before but it is sitting close by and I thought it really looked like spring. And I have a real urge to make some birdhouses of I purchased some cedar boards a couple days age. Little late for this years brood of babies but start for next spring.

What is the saying "patience is virtue"

super job on both!! I have the patterns. Not sure I will ever get them done. Looks very challenging.

Congrats, I think you got an awesome saw. The poor guy is probably regretting selling it now.

You could try messaging him through here: https://www.pinterest.co.kr/bobbyriggs54/

well by the tag I would say 20" variable speed looks in very good condition. But know nothing more.

I wonder,,, (oh oh here we go), if you extended that piece of metal (the red piece) further in the back and attached a spring to it, you could make it so when you release the blade from the clamp the arm would automatically go up and stay like a Hegner does. I would not try it on any saw I had. But maybe some brave sole out there might.

I've seen those on the internet. I think it would be great fun to build.. but take up too much room for my little shop. I would also like to build a chevalet saw for marquetry. Just think it would be fun to build. Seems to me on that first saw after a while one foot would be bigger or smaller than the other from all that exercise.

Look very cute all painted up and put on a kitchen window sill.

Nice picture. Both the F-16 and the grosbeak. We have them here occasionally but they are colored totally different.

Very well done!

Unless you will set it where the sprinklers hit it, probably no need. I would be tempted to do the inside of the box with something, because that is where it will get moist and not get a chance to completely dry. Maybe line it with tar paper, plastic sheeting... Not a gardener, least not successful one here. I cannot even get an avocado seed going.

Great job, Denny! I liked that pattern. You really did a awesome job with it.

Stepping up a few notches! That is great!

I'm thinking and looking at turn-tables. Going back that way. My main concern is if I buy an older one could it get tubes/needles for it... I have a big box of 33's from when I was a teenybopper, some great jazz and I have one called African Drums, that is what the whole record is and another that is just the sound of drag racing cars taking off the line. I use to be able to name they type of engine just by the sound. Not any more I am sure.

Really nice bird houses. Makes me want to make some real ones. I love watching birds.

Awesone Job! Bernd. Well worth all the effort. I see some real challenges.

Great to have you join us.
