    Unfortunately, I can change the original post, but not the quote. Sorry, mommy.....

    If there is, I have not found it, I think the clue is to encourage pattern designers to add tag words to their saved patterns, such as their name, or something related to the subject. But I have not been able to search and find a pattern unless they do.

    That is some real fine letter cutting for sure!

    Well I gotta say, I cannot debate whether you can cut stone with a scroll saw blade, I suspect that with a diamond blade you could but it would be painful. I know you can turn soft stones. Here are examples of soap stone I turned. It was not difficult, but it was slow. The resulting "rock dust" was a real fine powder like talc. And I have seen the results of turning alabaster: http://www.maxkrimmel.com/Alabaster/HowToPart1/HowTo1.html

    I've turned stone on a wood lathe, was not difficult. But it was Soap Stone which is very soft, for a stone. I have a couple chunks of alabaster I was going to try to turn also, but have never gotten to it. It can be I have see some of the results.

    Certainly nothing to be discouraged about. I really like it, nice and peaceful. Great job!

    Do you have a picture of that hooked up to your saw. I don't quite understand how you did it.

    Are there any electronic stores anymore, since Radio Shack went out of business? Guess on have to relay on online.

    Hello @Arun Welcome to the forum. Very glad to have you join us. May I suggest you introduce yourself using the This thread: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/forum/46-introductions/. That way more people will see it. I do not think there are many, if any other members for your part of the world. Looking forward to knowing you and seeing your work.

    Very beautifully done! And thanks for the tips.

    Glad this got brought to the front again. I saved the first post to a text document for future. I am not an electronics expert but I would dry this repair before I laid out the money to for a new controller. And @OCtoolguy, I remember your input from way back when about the soft start on the Hegner. Just curious, where you using a foot peddle at the time or were you using the on/off switch on the saw? I would be curious it the foot pedal could have had something to do with it.

    WOW! Dick, that is one of the greatest! I have been wanting for a long time to do something like that. Great job! Love the blue on the backer, because if you spend much time in Montana, you know what is meant by "Big Sky". My Daughter lived there for a few years and we loved every visit to there. Great job!
  13. Scrappile
    Yep, I do like that. You did agreat job!

    I agree great cutting. That could not have been easy! Big dragon fan myself! Makes me want to watch "Game of Thrones" again!

    Another great job on pattern and cutting. My son got to take the controls on one of those WWII Bombers at a private antic airplane show he got invited to and was allow to take us parent with him. They offered to take him for a ride in it, probably a s B-17. He went, once in the air the co-pilot got out of his seat and offered it to my son. Once he sat down, the pilot said to him "you have the controls". My son said it was one of the biggest thrills in his flying career.

    You got yourself quite a fleet! I love them and got the patterns to cut some. Should get more scrolling time soon as winter comes. I will probably be looking at your to see how they should look. I will keep trying until mine look as good as yours, or as close as I can get!

    Personally I am not a fan of the packing tape method. Most times I do not use tape, I use spray adhesive and attach directly to the wood. When I tried packing time over the pattern I would get sawdust under the tape that hid the lines. When I want more "lub" for cutting I cover the wood with blue painter's tape. I only use it when I am cutting wood that burns easily like Cherry, or I am cutting something very thick like for 3D cutting. That is the way I fly, does not mean it is the only way to go. I suggest trying it every way mentioned and find what you like best.

    That is a great picture. Well done.

    Anyone that knows me knows I am the CEO in my house and my wife is afraid to criticize anything I do. Anyone need a Brooklyn Bridge.
