That is a very fine job!

Great picture! Very well done.

Well now you are changing the question... I did not read on here that any of the saws change how good of a scroller you are, that is talent, practice, patience, and perseverance. No matter where the motor is placed on the saw. I'm not even sure you asked the question you were looking for an answer to.

My question is where are you going to use that you need it to be on a battery? it would never be used outside my shop, The thing I like most about it is the dial in speed control.

I think a lot of that also is to do with price range.

I think it has more to do with what the linkage is made of and how robust it is. But I am not and engineer.

Could it be to restrict how far the tension handle will come down so it is easier to grab when you need to? Does it screw far enough in to adjust the angle of the clamp to help adjust the cutting angle? You could email Ray a seyco.com and ask.. I do not remember that screw from when I had an excalibur.. Does you saw manual have a parts diagram"? If so is there a name for that screw. Looks like the Seyco saw has the same screw so he should know.

that us a very nice bowl. Glad it helped with the flu. I have a slight cold right now,,, I wonder if I should sit at my scroll saw.

I have one very similar to what @barb.j.enders purchased. The main thing I don't like about it is the speed, on mine, is controlled with a foot pedal. I would like to have one has s dial speed control so you could set at the speed you want and it will stay there. Thing I don't like about the Guinevere is it is not speed adjustable. I do not understand why they do not make an adjustable speed one. I know you need high speed for polishing, but sanding small pieces for intarsia,, too fast for me.

@meflick No I didn't either I used Kevskrafts.com Just made it feel more personal. Don't know why.

I'm glad Kevin sell clock inserts, I've purchased a few and they are good ones.

You are more critical than me. I think they look great. I made two round one like yours for my wife and her sewing friend, to store pins in. Only thing I did different was pit little magnets on the top of the side and the lid to hold the lid closed while they were not using it. Otherwise they may have been picking up pins all the time.

That is a beauty! Great job.

that is a real nice looking coaster.

Well done. He will hang that up. proudly.

Every ribbon very well deserved!

That is awesome Kris. Not surprising, it is the normal awesome for you. How do yo like your Seyco? I purchased, probably one of the first Seyco. I loved it but was not fond of the required magnetic covering to cover the hole in the table just so they could claim a fraction of an inch longer stroke than any other similar saw. Is that still there?

Ha did not see the pencil thing at first....

Those will be much loved and enjoyed. Very nice work.

That is very beautiful! No doubt in my mind he loves it. Saw your post on Christian and was amazed. Thanks from coming here and posting it... I think it will give us all inspiration..

I have three!, I have three! First and most important are the military emblems I make for veterans I meet. I will just show the latest one, but it was worth every bit of effort just to see the appreciation for them. Even saw some tear from a couple. Second, my street organ.. My most complicated build ever, taking the longest and most dedication and resulted in meeting some very talented wood working people and was very fun to share with audiences. Third, my kayak, not as difficult as the organ and did not take as long but I did need to use the scroll saw to cut out the framing. Could be done on a band saw but did not have a good enough one at the time, could not use the kayak because of back problems, but worth the effort/satisfaction just to build it. The picture is sent to me from the guy that bought it from me, paddling on beautiful Lake Coeur D'alene, Idaho. Hope he didn't sink! The main point for me is the scroll say is just not a tool for intricate, portraits, fretwork, it is a useful tool in other project, just like table saws, routers, and planers...

Nice! two things I have a weakness for are scroll saw patterns and scroll saw books, even though I will never live long enough to finish one tenth of them. If you want them after I go,,, contact my kids. They are renting a big dumpster!!

@Rolf @rafairchild2 I did glue most of my joints, wish I had not.... good advice. Even the joint, that when I glued it,,, the fire went out.... Think about it.

That is beautiful! Very well done. Just as an aside. the first glance I thought the first word was "Sex", And I thought that is not true. Left me some time ago. I should have had my glasses on!

I take the easy way out and my finishes show it. I use Deft lacquer. Staining is another thing I am not good at, but I do like the General gel stains.
