19 minutes ago, rjweb said: Ok thx Ray, i will try and figure it out, Inkscape and high school didn't get along, RJ I'm 81 and only a h.s. grad. If I can do it, so can you.

Well, first off, not my pattern. Do whatever you like. I have no idea how to do that either but with enough time, I think I could muddle through it with Inkscape.
-
That might be helpful. I tried to picture it but couldn't "see" it.

My first project after back surgery

Very nice and very thoughtful. -
I think many problems that we all have are caused by not having properly tuned saws. I have to check mine all the time. It's a job-site saw so it's accuracy will never be "right on".
-
You won't be sorry.
-
Your link didn't work.
-
I had the same problem.
-
Very nice setup. I'm envious.
-
Rather than buying another saw, ir might be just a Saturday afternoon's work to fix yours. More tha likely it is in need of a good service and with the videos available from Gwinnette Woodworkers Guild, it's not difficult. Not many tools needed. We are here to help.

I bought mine, a Dremel, about 13 years ago to install a medicine chest in one of the cherry cabinets in our bathroom. I used the 1/2 moon blade. It worked great. I use the sander part with triangle paper all the time on my small odd-shaped projects. I'd be lost without it. If you already have some Bauer battery driven tools then all you need is the basic tool. You'll love it.

There is a special place in Hell for the environmentalists and the politicians that allow this crap to happen. We still can't buy mineral spirits in the county where I live. I managed to buy a gallon through Amazon and it was shipped in from Georgia.

Here on the west coast I like Cherokee wood products. Talk to Chris. He runs their online business and they specialize in scroll woods. Their shipping is as good as it gets.

I tried one but the glue still dried up. I threw it away. I don't think there is anything that really works. I just try to keep the tip clean on my Titebond bottle.

It seems everybody has some weights of some sort. I have no exercise equipment of any kind. Oh wait, I've got a treadmill that sits in the corner of my office. Unused.
-
I saw that too. It looks like a 20 inch frame.
-
Looks like a great deal.

In my case, I'm lacking enthusiasm to finish my current project. I've never done anything with acrylic colors before so I'm sort of flying blind and not enjoying myself. I can't even blame it on weather as we have the best there is. Just can't get going. I think I'll side-line this one and move on to something fun. -
Judging from the activity here at SSV, it must be very, very hot and rainy out there. I hope everybody is OK.
-
Sounds like maybe your saw blade is not true to vertical. Have you done a good tune up of your saw. A minor adjustment can make a huge difference. There are some good videos on doing a tune-up.
-
We looked at Kingman. I really liked it there. But we heard that it's very windy there so decided against it. Best of luck. I envy you.
-
For some reason I never think of doing that. Could you maybe PM me and give me a short tutorial on how to do it? I can send you the pattern if it would help to explain it.
-
Where ya going? I'd love to move and find a place with a garage. At 81 it becomes a daunting task though.
-
Yeah, a 2nd would have been ok.

Martin is snakebit. Somebody should inform him that 19 is his car number. Not where he's supposed to run.
