    Rolf, you are amazing. I love that train but the boat is fantastic. I really love it. And using the actual picture as the background is pure genius.

    I learned that a long time ago when learning the secrets to coding/decoding things. "E" is the most frequent letter used.

    I also live in a 55+ community. We were supposed to have our annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon today but it was cancelled til further notice. Probably next month if all goes well. And, we see the EMT's in here almost daily. It's a sad state of affairs but we feel like this is our "village" and we are all on high alert to help our neighbors when needed.

    All very nicely done. Thanks.

    I can still hear my Dad telling me how to go about using corn cobs. He'd say "it take two dark ones and one light one. You use a dark one first, then a light one to see if you need another dark one". My Dad was a hoot.

    I bought up all the plungers I could find.

    Yeah, they put me in FB jail for 30 days because of a meme that I shared. Others did the same but I got suspended.

    Ooops! I totally forgot to do that. Is there a way to move it?

    I'm not sure of your location but I've got a great Hawk saw that has all the best of things on it. I need the space in my shop so I'm selling it. $400. It's a 226VS Ultra with less than 25 hours on it. I'm in So Cal if you are interested.

    Paul, it coils up nicely. I use that long hose to clean the shop floor. It will even go outside. 16 feet is long. But I would never think of cutting it.
  12. OCtoolguy
    Yes for sure. I check and double check and then sometimes I re-check. I'm not even sure about the Wixey angle gauge. I zero it and then check it again. When cutting angle cuts, it makes a huge difference between 1 degree and 1.2 degrees. Ask me how I know that.

    I was just scanning through different hose options for dust collection. This is very similar to the hose that came with my Fein vacuum and it is very handy to have. I think I will get this for my Ridgid shop vac that I use outside on my driveway with my Dewalt portable table saw. Notice that it has a variable adjustment for how much vacuum it will allow. That could be very beneficial. https://www.amazon.com/Cen-Tec-Systems-94192-Universal-Collection/dp/B07NZZZ5ZL/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=1-1%2F4"+x+10%27+Ultra-Flex+Clear+Vue+PVC+Hose+-+MADE+IN+USA%21&qid=1584041924&s=hi&sr=1-4

    I'm not an expert by any means but the one thing that comes to mind is make sure whatever you use is non-toxic if used on kids toys etc. Also, welcome to The Village. No apology necessary for your English. Heck, a lot of us who were born in the U.S. are still having trouble with the language. Keep the questions coming and post pictures of your work. We LOVE new scrollers.

    You can download the manual and keep it with you.

    Paul, I've got the Wen and it does work. I had a problem with it turning itself on when I wasn't in the shop. I would have to leave it unplugged. I contacted Wen folks and they sent me a new receiver and remote. I installed it and so far no more problems. I bought mine through Home Depot because of their return policy.

    How about a painter's suit with full headgear?

    Looks great. Get a couple of the round magnets and stick them to the upper arm. Attach your hose to them with clamps of some sort.

    I've done it on both of my EX's to decrease the aggressiveness of the blade. If you don't understand what that means, let us know.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Are you absolutely sure that your blade is square to the table. Sounds like it's off to me. Unless you are really pushing your work through. I've cut 1 1/2" mahogany without that problem but I'm sure the hardness of the maple has something to do with it also.

    I built a wooden stand/table for my EX21. I incorporated 2 Harbor Freight 6" wheels with 1/2" axles in the rear two legs. I added 2 pvc handles along side of the table that slide in/out of themselves so that I can lift the back end (nearest to me) and move the saw in and out of my shop. I have a 6" drop off from the shop down to the driveway. I made a ramp that helps get in and out of the shop.

    I just installed ver. 092.4. Seems to run ok.
  23. OCtoolguy
    I'm running ver. 0.92. I looked for a place to check for updates but couldn't find one. Edit: I just downloaded 0.92.4. I guess that's the newest one.

    Another suggestion that if I recall came from Scrappile (Paul) mentioned that he bought a package of the old style spring clothes pins and sort of reshaped the jaws so they would fit where he needed them to fit. The do come in handy. I on the other hand, bought a jug of tiny spring clamps at Harbor Freight. Before I saw his hint. Darn!

    If you cut a half dozen squares of canvas and sandwich them between 2 pieces of scrap wood I don't see why that wouldn't work to make your patterns.
