    There is an excellent 4 part video series on you tube by Bob Brokaw/Gwinnette woodworkers that shows how to do it. Those saws come from the factory with little to no grease in the bearings so I would suggest learning how and doing it within the first year or at the end of the warranty. For me, I'd not wait that long.

    I have a Brother color laser all in one and have zero problems other than self-inflicted ones.

    Excellent choice. My first saw was a Dewalt and after I went through it and greased it all up it became even better.

    Any project that has more time cutting and less time changing entry holes would be more fun. But with that said, any scroll project is fun if you derive pleasure from doing it and are stressfree. I do what I do to relieve stress from everyday life.

    I wish we had a "LOVE" option for responding to some posts. This one being one of them. We truly are a unique & fun group. I felt the warmth from my first visit.

    I bought one those Rolf. Solves the dilemma nicely.

    That's true but you see, I have OCD. Lol.

    That's not an ornament. It's a part of the votive candle holder that I've made too many of. 6 so far. Everybody wants one. There are 8 side panels like that on each one. I also expanded the pattern to make a larger one for a centerpiece that has 20 of them. Each one, even with practice, still takes me an hour to cut.

    I had to edit that post. I was mixing up 2 projects.

    Except that it messes up the flat sides of the clamp.

    My experiences so far with compound cutting have been using 3/4 x 1 1/2 stock and the patterns come all the way out to the edge of the material so I have to do all the cutting using the clamp on the side where the pattern doesn't touch the outside edge of the wood. Does that make sense? I understand what I wrote but I can see it in my head. If you are confused, I'll add a pic of the pattern.

    Best of luck to you Ralph. My wife and I decided we were too old to be making any moves so we'll be staying right here in taxifornia. But, with the motor home, we'll spend lots of time on the road.

    Somebody told me I should. It does add more to grip.
  14. OCtoolguy
    I use a clamp on my first cut then tape everything together to make the second cut.

    Excellent project. Very nice.

    We haven't been quite that hot down our way but at least it's been a drier heat this time. Not sure what we have ahead of us this week.

    I found the two words you mentioned. I'm editing this because I forgot to mention what a fantastic family heirloom you have and what a wonderful story to go with it. Your Grandfather must have been a very patient man. I would not attempt this on my scroll saw and he did it with a fret saw? Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    Rolf, I knew you weren't "pushing" your kit but you mentioned it so it piqued my curiosity. You have my email so if you would send me a description of the kit I'd be appreciative. Thanks.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Rolf, I'd like more info on that kit. Where can I find it?

    My next Pegas blade order will be with Dennis. It would be great to have an "In Village" go-to for our supplies. Maybe we can get some of the wood suppliers to give us a break. I know Cherokee Wood Products watches this site and has given me great prices and service. Cudos to all those businesses that support our hobby.

    What is your goal? Is it just a project to restore or are you thinking of using it as a full time saw? Parts are not available from what I have heard so you will have to either make your own or spend a lot of time finding a source. For me, it's a NOT!

    Check out where his thumb is and what he has on it. Upper arm smash.
  23. OCtoolguy
    OUch! The good thing is, unless you're not too bright, you'll only do it once.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Very nice. They should go over well.
  25. OCtoolguy
    It looks like you are "chasing" the pattern line. Try not to do that. Just keep cutting and if you veer off the line gradually bring the blade back on to the line. Once the pattern is removed, nobody but you will know that it was altered a bit. Something we've all had to learn.
