    I'll find a way to communicate with SSV no matter where I end up.
  2. OCtoolguy
    I was going to say the same but Paul beat me to it.
  3. OCtoolguy
    I'm happy to hear you are better. Hang in there.

    "Guys"? You better go back and fix that Dave or you'll be in hot water. lol

    Charley, you have been a "fount of knowledge" to me. I want say thank you.

    I have been here since about 2014. I know I have been somewhat of a pain in the butt at times but I really like it here and enjoy all of you folks. I also belong to most of the scroll saw groups on Facebook but I don't spend much time there. But, I do try to spread the word there about SSV and suggest that they come over here to really get involved in the hobby. I see Rockytime there and also Kevin but I don't see many others from here. Maybe they use different names there. Anyway, to my point, this is my home when it comes to the hobby of scrolling and woodworking. Thanks to Travis for all his hard work and thanks to all of you members for putting up with me. I hope some of the lurkers will make themselves known. It would be great to have some new members to help. I want to give back for all I've received.

    From your picture, it appears that you should be able to lower your d/p table so that your workpiece is closer to the top of the jig and give you the most depth of drilling. Not sure what thickness you are working with but I'm assuming 3/4" if it's for bowls. Those tiny bits are really short but I would think if you could lower the table or raise the project wood up higher, it would allow you to drill deeper.

    I've only done a couple of things where I had my table tilted or needed an angled hole. What I did was just cut a small piece of 1 x a couple of inches long and then cut it at the angle I needed. I clearly marked it at what angle it is and put it aside for the next time I needed that angle.

    Has there been any explanation as to why the sudden high increase in the price of wood? I know everything is going up but it seems like wood has gone up faster by comparison. I'm going to start dumpster diving again. My wife is not happy.

    You are partly right Kevin. He bought an older Ex with the slider tension lever. It's the one that Dewalt was a clone of.

    Glad to hear your experience with Ray was positive and got your problem resolved. You will be happy with that saw. I'd still add the Pegas clamps though and if you do, buy the set with the tension lever. Then you can set the tension slider once and not have to touch it again. Great improvement.

    Using the tools was a tough as selling them Wayne. I spent many of my "off" hours chasing the flakes that ran out on me. It was the one part of the job that I hated but now that my son is in the business, everything has changed. Nobody can run anymore. Too many computers.

    Wayne, it's more than likely a Badger. S/O was famous for branding good stuff with their name. Not so much anymore.

    Thanks for the clarification Paul. I am going to put together on order for some wood after we get back from our trip. Once Chris has it all together, I'm going to drive out to the yard and see what he has laying around for me to scrounge. The last time he let me go through the dumpster and it's amazing what they have to toss because it's odd sizes and cutoffs. I still have a lot of it.

    After commenting on your post, I went back to view the video. It turns out that Mytoya is a "friend" on FB and she lives just a couple of hours from me. We have been trading emails and projects. She is a very nice lady and I truly enjoy watching her videos because they are so relaxing. Her voice will lull you into a nap.

    Barb, I had seen that tip somewhere before but had forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder.
  17. OCtoolguy
    Ok, now I get it.
  18. OCtoolguy
    You sound too much like me. Except mine never stops talking. Lol.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Your picture makes them look 24" in width so I enquired as to length.
  20. OCtoolguy
    And just how old are you Paul. I just turned 78. Older or younger?
  21. OCtoolguy
    Projects???
  22. OCtoolguy
    Who from Paul? Cherokee? Actually that looks like a lot of wood for that price. What species and how long are those 24" pieces. What're ya going to make?
  23. OCtoolguy
    Yes, by golly. We went to Home Depot and invested in 6 8 foot 2 x 4's. We're going to put them away until he graduates high school in 3 more years. They should cover college tuition by then.
  24. OCtoolguy
    What brand, how much?
  25. OCtoolguy
    Kevin, you're gonna have to explain that. I'm not getting what you mean. It would leak.
