Some very nice work there, Terry.
-
I hear you, Ray. My workshop is a little bigger then that, but it got too small for more tools,,, so my bench that use to be 8' is now 4'!!
-
I think that is one heck of a lot of work, being very well done!
-
Congrats, you will love that saw. Some very nice cutting you are showing us here..
-
Certainly one to be very proud of. Very well done, and it is beautiful.

Sorry to hear that Mike. Why would you sell a Hawk and keep a DeWalt? Just curious. I had a DeWalt, nothing wrong with it but I bought a Excalibur 21. It is a nice saw, although I am having some problems with mine. Maybe self induced, but I will see. I owe Ray Seyco a call back to explain it some more. I don't think it is common to have problems, especially when it is not even a year old yet. I do think the Excalibur is a step up from a DeWalt. I like the tension setting and the quick release setup much better. I think the Ex runs smoother, less vibration. I do not think you will sorry if you buy an Excalibur. The table tilting verses the arm tilting doesn't matter to me, I have yet to saw something where I will care. Maybe some day, but I think either way works fine. However, if you can afford it or figure our a way to do it, bypass the Ex and move right on up to a Hegner or Hawk. ... You know you will want to......

I just ordered a gross of 3/0 blades from Mike's Workshop. The only change is the phone number at the site. It is now a Portland, Ore. number.

I started spending a lot of time on the scroll saw about last August. Since that time, I have gained 10+ pounds!!! The only reason it isn't worse is I worked at removing 30 big arborvitae since than also. Most of that weight gain has be over the past 3 months. But I have a plan. I am building a platform on the handles of a treadmill that I can mount my scroll saw on!!

Hans, best of luck on your move. It is a good decision, one my wife are contemplating. Our closest grandchild is 230 miles away which isn't a bad trip and we get there every few months, but it would be nice to be closer. It would be a big move for us, my wife and I were both born here in the area we live in. If you had a laptop you could keep us up to speed on your travels.......

Again nice work. Great use of the little scraps that most throw away.
-
Very nice! Thanks for showing it and the video
-
Great piece, Dick. Maybe your wife will get a free or discount on her next visit.

Read the post, follow the instructions...

I love the wooden toys. You did a great job on yours. Have you checked out the plans on "Toys and Joys" site. They have some great looking ones. I have not made any though.... yet. -
Very well done. :thumbs:
-
Very nice work on both. I need to make an RV one only with a trailer.
-
Your usual excellent scrolling, Gator. I too like that covered bridge pattern about the best I have seen.
-
Makes me wonder if they are going to keep Mike's Workshop name for blades... They have been FD selling blades all along. I figured they would just merge his stock into theirs. Anyway, they are out of spirals 3/0 size, that is a concern,,,, I've only got a gross and a half left!!!!!!!!!!!! Service may be slowed a little, I got responses from Mike on weekends. I can handle a little slower.....

Been out looking at their site. They sell some of Mike Williams' and Charles Dearing's patterns plus some other great ones I hadn't see before.
-
Thank you very much, Jim. Don't know why I couldn't locate it.
-
Jim, wasn't trying to point out a mistake, just trying to find the pattern. I really like what you did and was going to steal some of your idea... Still haven't found that pattern, but I will or one very similar.
-
Jim, you sure that hawk is a Neptun pattern? I searched for hawk patterns and looked through Neptun's pattern gallery. I could not find it. Do you know if it is still available and where? Thanks
-
Very well done!
-
Super work on both and thanks to the proud veterans. Love how you did that hawk. I've got to find some wood other than Baltic Birch. Nice work.
-
It is very nice to read good things about Wooden Teddy Bear and I have been reading good words about them all day. Makes the sting of Mike retiring a little less.
