I don't know why but momentary means it stays on as long as you keep your foot on,,,, Latch means once on, once off? confuses me!
-
I'd love to find a latch switch that size. The swithch that came with my Hegner was and I did like it more then the thicker switches from HF.
-
So True!
-
I purchased mine from Harbor Freight.

I recommend a foot switch. Most use them. And I believe most use a deadman switch, foot on machine on foot off machine turns off. I use to, but a few months ago I tried a latching step on/ step off switch. I tried because I have been cutting a picture big enough that I have to stand to manipulate the piece of wood. Now that I am use to it I prefer it. You plug the saw into the switch and the switch is plugged into the wall receptacle.

Congrats: you got a heck of a deal!

That is a beautiful pattern that really could sit out all year as a reminder. I will be getting that pattern, thanks for sharing, I hope I can do it as much justice as you did.

I think you would have better luck with Baltic Birch plywood. Some of the hobby stores like Michaels carry it in smaller pieces. You can order it online for places like Ocooch wood: https://ocoochhardwoods.com/plywood/baltic-birch-plywood/. I got some from them last month, it is good. Plywood works better because of the layers you do not have to worry grain direction like with solid woods. And Baltic Birch is the best for scrolling because no voids in it. like in cheaper plywood from the big box stores.

Probably too busy of a time of the year for people to worry an exchange. I can see that.
-
That is a beaut. Maybe one these year we should have one of those on here. Be kinda fun. But they are a lot of work to organize and coordinate. I participated in one a year or two ago on another woodworking forum. I think maybe the person I exchanged with was not real excited about me giving him a 3D cut Christmas nut cracker....
-
You will make good points with that. Very well done.
-
And this is her blog spot: https://scrollsawbowls.blogspot.com/search?q=ribbon+boxes. I understand she is very helpful an accommodating if you have questions.
-
I think there was someone on here in the past year that made some. They did it from one of her books. Maybe he/she will speak up. Maybe what I am thinking about is not what you are wanting.
-
Welcome to the village. Glad to have you.

I believe Carol Rothman has some in one of her scroll saw boxes books. here is an example: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/creative-wooden-boxes-from-the-scroll-saw-28-useful--surprisingly-easy-to-make-projects_carole-rothman/3293769/item/27703952/?mkwid=|dc&pcrid=77172150940733&pkw=&pmt=be&slid=&product=27703952&plc=&pgrid=1234751854563929&ptaid=pla-4580771612621121&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+Low+Vol+Scarce+-+%2410+-+%2450&utm_term=&utm_content=|dc|pcrid|77172150940733|pkw||pmt|be|product|27703952|slid||pgrid|1234751854563929|ptaid|pla-4580771612621121|&msclkid=9e4eee2102ba11730a838ba1cbf4677d#idiq=27703952&edition=7974845

@OCtoolguy That didn't come out quite right, $275 is less than what it is probably worth. Sounds like a good deal. If I had seen I would probably figured out a way to get it.
-
In my opinion not what it is maybe worth.. But I do not know Hawks.
-
Beautiful job! I would spray it with clear lacquer just to make it easier to dust. But I live in a dusty climate.
-
Make cute earrings,, but I have nothing to wear with them.
-
In town today stopped at HF and picked up a 180 and 400 grits of these to try. They are the same idea as @Foxfold shows but maybe a little more cheaply made...
-
Yep Mac Mop my favorite
-
Been using Mac Mops got years, have sanding mops also but they sit in a drawer, Mac Mops are mounted on my lathe and sand everything I scroll. There is a difference.
-
Sleep has always been difficult for me. Even retired I usually am up by 0500. But in bed by 2100. Just the old man in me.
-
Not difficult, when you get into the rythum. cut move, cut move. . than I do it again with a spiral blade.
