You said inlays. What are the inlays made of?
-
After reading what you wrote and thinking about it, I realize what you meant. NO CHINESE saws. My first bandsaw was Chinese and I got what I paid for it. $100. Nothing on it was precision. It had a table that wasn't flat and the tires on the wheels were junk. So, I agree with you completely. If it's not a well known mfgr. don't mess around with it. Even then you can get bit. Like the Excaliburs that came out of China. Not the same saw for sure.

Once I'm dead, who cares?

That's what I'm going to try to do Jerry. My problem comes in when I try to do ANYTHING in Inkscape. I'm still very wet behind the ears when it comes to Inkscape. In fact, right at this moment I'm trying to get through a video on it.

What I meant here is that if someone comes up with any gadget that is related to catching a fish, woodworking or ??? there will be plenty of people who will step up and open their wallet. Just ask me to show you all my fishing lures. Or any other of many useless gadgets. I'm a sucker and easily sold a bill of goods. I always heard that the easiest sale is to a salesman. That was me.

Kevin, my Delta was made in China. For sure, it's not the same quality as it's counterpart made in the U.S. but it is still a very good saw. The table is flat, the guides work great and other than the fact that the tilt mechanism broke, I'd buy it again. It's got the enclosed base and a 1 hp motor. I would like to update the belt though to one of the segmented belts. Much quieter and smoother.

It's really interesting how no matter what the situation, whether it's for a hobby or for fishing or for your pet, it's not difficult to part a person from their money. I really don't see $36 there. Someone is getting fat. Very fast!

To update, I emailed Sue May and she replied that it must be a combination of a couple of her tree patterns. I went through all that I could find on her site but didn't find any that would have been a hybrid. I get the feeling that the maker of this tree might have used the basic tree from one of hers and just came up with the fret work on his own. Whatever, I'm going to take a picture and try to create a pattern from it. Thanks to all of you who helped.

S long as you remember that it was vinegar and not hootch.

This is another old topic that has come back to life.

I saw this on a FB forum. Person looking for this pattern. I would like to find it also.

I'm with you Les, we drink a log of coffee so I'm thinking a 3 lb. coffee can should suffice. Or maybe 2 2 lb.ers.

I bought a cheap H/D gun years ago and it does a great job. About the price. It probably came from the same little province in China as yours. I used to sell one by the name of Master for about $125 ten years ago. I couldn't afford my own tools.

Kool! I might have to have one

Welcome from So. California. You have joined the best forum on the web.

I have 2 of them. One is red, one is yellow.

Frank, I'm in awe of anybody who has command over software. Can you, would you let me in on how you did that so fast? I want to learn Inkscape and any other graphics manipulation software but I seem to have a missing gene in that area.

I belong to all the scroll saw groups and some of the woodworking groups over on FB but this is my number one Primary spot. I belong to a motorhome group there and it is a very good group for info and advice on how to fix stuff. Other than that, I hang out here and love every minute of it. I do miss a couple of folks who used to be active but seem to have drifted away. I hope they are still among the living.

Hawk 226 Ultra Is Back Up And Running
OCtoolguy replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Be aware that the 26 incher takes up a lot of space. That's why I sold mine. I have a very small shop. If you have room, no sweat. -
That's beautiful Paul. A job very well done for sure. Practice makes perfect.

I'm not sure if this is helpful but do any of the wall paneling mfgrs use stained or overlayed BB plywood? Also, I'm not sure but I have seen something called "apple" ply that has a shiny finish to it and is a bit darker. @red river, you might give Cherokee Wood Products a call and talk to Chris. He might be able to put you onto what you are looking for. Cherokeewood.com.

Hawk 226 Ultra Is Back Up And Running
OCtoolguy replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
When I had my Hegner, I did put some synthetic grease on the two pivot points at the rear of the arms. Where the triangular pivots contact the arm sockets. I figured that it sure couldn't do any harm since those two spots are in constant contact and rubbing when in motion.
