Thanks Paul. I appreciate it.

My wife saw this in one of my pattern books and said she would love to have one. So you all know what that means. I know I bugged a few of you about helping me with patterns for this one and I thank you for all your help. Also to those who "schooled" me on wood types and so on. You folks here on SSV have been so kind and helpful. I'm so glad I found this site. Here are a couple of pics. One was taken without flash and the one that shows up more red was with flash. I like it the best but my wife says she likes the one that isn't so red. So, I guess I got lucky. By the way, she is going to put a glass votive candle cup in it with one of those flickering battery powered candles. It should look nice. I think anyway.

Delta 40-694 Table Moves When Locked
OCtoolguy replied to silentsoundguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I watched the video again and I guess I have to agree that the whole assembly is moving at the base of the trunnion where it sits on the scroll saw base. It is not locking in even with all the pressure that is being exerted on the lock knob. If it were me, I'd return the saw for another one and hope the next one is better. -
I'm very lucky in that I have a great memory. I am also very good with numbers. That doesn't mean I'm a mathematician though. I just think logically so things are easy for me to figure out in most cases. For some reason, I have a tough time with Inkscape though. It is sinking in little by little. My biggest problem is that I am a bit impulsive. I tend to "jump" into things too quickly.

Jim, I noticed the same thing. It's sort of like finding droppings near a termite nest. Always spells trouble. @barb.j.enders ,I have all the info for the different bearings, sleeves and where to get them if you need the info.

We have Google Home, and I love messing with "her". I ask questions that she can't answer like "how high is up"? She's still ruminating over that one. Fractions can be tricky especially as the distance between when we were taught and the present day gets farther and farther apart. As the saying goes "another day goes by that I didn't use algebra".

Just ask Google! LoL!

I agree with Neal. I realize that you have put a screw/spacer through to hold it in place but I think something is wrong with that joint. Check it out and take another video.

For sure!

He is retired but he is completely in charge of everything in his home. His wife is disabled so he is doing it all. I have a ton of respect for him.

It amazes me how Steve can come up with a new pattern every day. And make them too.
-
I've seen that before and I marvel at it every time I see it and watch it. Amazing.

Very nice job of cutting and the choice of wood and finish are great.

I ended up not doing anything. I cut the boards to the length I needed, stacked in two stacks of 3 and 4. Then I taped them tightly together and clamped them to my workbench for overnight. Once, I did my cutting they pretty much flattened out and by the time I got to gluing them together and clamping, they are quite flat. I should not have been worried knowing how they would be cut and glued. Experience,,,I need more experience.

Check the fuse first. Make sure you have power to the saw and getting past the fuse. Try turning the motor by inserting a screwdriver into the end of the motor and turning it. With the power off of course.

Happy birthday and a Happy New Year to you.

Your pictures didn't make it. Try them again.

And, I'll bet you can put it up on C/L and get your original investment out of it.

Kevin, I purchased a combo belt/oscillating spindle sander from H/D a couple of years back. I can't say enough good about it. I love it. And, they had them on a sale at the time so I coupled it along with a Weber gas bbq and put the whole thing on a 24 month "same as cash" plan. It's heavy and doesn't have any tendency to move around when using it. It has a good dust collection port on the back side that also works great. I see used ones occasionally on C/L.

We need to hear from everyone who has purchased any of the "new breed" of Excalibur saws. Lots of folks waiting to hear whether they are any good or not.

My buddy used to restore slot machines back before digital photography. He used to take 35mm pics and pay for the developing just so he would have a pictorial record of how everything went back together. That philosophy has never failed him and now he is a multi-millionaire.
