    Why not cut it out of a cow "patty"?
  2. OCtoolguy
    You don't have one?

    I totally agree with what you said. The simple pleasure of sitting at your saw and creating something, even if it's a "cow turd" represented in wood, what's the difference as long as you enjoyed doing it?

    He does make some nice stuff Rolf. I'm not a fan of it but I can certainly appreciate the work he puts into it.

    What blade? I did that all the time with my Dewalt. Never blew a fuse. If your saw is having to work because of drag in the bearings, the added stress of the tight turn in thick hardwood might have put too much strain on the motor and caused the overload. Just surmising.

    Great idea Paul. I will follow up on that. I did see that it is located in Tennessee.

    I didn't realize it was that big. The picture doesn't make it look that big. Oh well............

    I finally got a reply to my second email and they asked me for my address in order to calculate the cost of shipping. They reaffirmed that they just want it to go to a person who will appreciate what it took to make it. I told them a bit about myself and the SSV and attached a picture of a couple of my completed projects so they would know that I know what is involved in the making/creating a work of art such as that clock. I just hope the shipping isn't out of this world.

    Well, if it blew a fuse, there may be a good reason. At your leisure, start cleaning and checking things out. You have all the knowledge.

    Thanks for the update. I'm glad your purchase came out good. Sometimes things DO go your way. There was a lot of great info on this thread and I'm glad that nothing scared you off from your purchase. That saw is a great saw as JT stated and with the proper maintenance, it will serve you well. Happy scrolling. Now, post some pics of your work.

    I tried to contact this seller last night with an email. I offered to buy the clock if they would pack and ship and charge me but so far, I've not heard anything back. I can't get their phone number to come up.
  12. OCtoolguy
    Paul, why not buy it and pay to have it shipped? I'm thinking that would be nice to have.

    The shelf could be your first project on your new Pegas saw. Or at least the decorative portion of it. If that saw still is functional, it still has value. You just have to find the right situation for it. Somebody could use it I'm sure.

    It sounds like a "collectible" and should be put up on a shelf as a conversation piece.
  15. OCtoolguy
    Yes, it is. I just bought my EX16 in like new condition in Santa Barbara for $200. I paid $250 for my EX21. Both steals.

    I'm not a fan of any sort of open flame heater around a wood shop. I use a small electric heater with fan enclosed. It draws very little and warms my small shop up pretty fast. It has a thermostat on it so I can set it where I want it to come on and off. No open flame though.

    And then there is this one. Also been on for a while now. https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/tls/d/buellton-excalibur-19-variable-speed/7053725234.html

    Just for your information, this one has been on C/L for a long time. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/tls/d/san-diego-scroll-saw-heavy-duty/7076926500.html

    My Ex21 was made in Canada in 2010 and it has the tilting head. So does my Ex16 but it came from Taiwan.
  20. OCtoolguy
    I'd build a new stand for your saw and relocate the motor under the saw.

    Just thought I'd toss this out for general consumption. I gave up using google a year or more ago. I find many things on Bing that don't come up on google. I read somewhere that others have had the same experience so I switched and so far, I'm happy.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Another thing you might think about is if you can't sell or it or don't want to mess with it, donate it to either a school or a local Boys/Girls club or a scroll saw group.

    Hi Alan, I hope this is of some value. I have been watching with no actual interest, a couple of old EX 19's on C/L and Facebook marketplace. Both have been offered for $400 and have been listed for a long time. Meaning more than a month. Actually more like 3 months. No action. I think anybody who knows about Excalibur saws probably already have some knowledge of the early saws and that parts are not available in most cases. So, if you really want to sell your saw quickly, I'd have to say put your price at less than $200. I'd be very surprised if you get $100 for it. Sorry. Sometimes you just have to go the "donation" route and write it off.

    Thanks to all. I have solved my problem using all the help and info gleaned from here. SSV is the best. To solve the problem at hand, I cut a couple of tiny pieces of walnut to fit the holes that I had to deal with and plugged the holes. The two cracks that were formed by joining the two pieces of walnut were filled, as suggested, with Titebond II and sanding dust. So far so good. I'll not know how it all works out until I dip the whole thing in Watco's oil. Keeping my fingers crossed.
  25. OCtoolguy
    I'll check that out Larry. Thanks.
