    And the same to you Ralph. Merry Christmas.

    I look forward to hearing what folks have to say on this.

    The next day or two will be hectic for everybody so in order to give everybody a chance to see it, I extend this greeting from Barb and me. Merry Christmas to all of my wonderful Scroll Saw Village friends. Thank you all for putting up with me for the last year. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season.

    I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a new router so I went and did a bunch of reading on them. I found a like new Dewalt 610 on eBay. I think I paid $60 for it. Then I got to thinking about having a plunge router. I found that I could buy just the plunge attachment for it. I found a used one, again like new, on Amazon if I recall, and gave $85 for it. So for $145 dollars I have a great setup. I made a large faceplate for it and use it in my B&D workmate. I love it.

    I'll bet the dog wasn't happy about that. LOL

    I'll be following along too Kevin. Just curious at this point.
  7. OCtoolguy
    Yeah but it's so much fun to just "discuss" it to death. What else do we have to talk about?
  8. OCtoolguy
    Les, you are soooo bad!

    I have the same problem Tom. I'm very critical of my work and my wife tells me that "good" is "good enough". But, I don't see it that way. If I'm going to sign my work, I want it to be as near perfect as I can get it. By the way, you did a fine job on cutting this out.
  10. OCtoolguy
    Well, it's all conjecture at this point. If I mention another saw to my wife, she may leave me. But, I check everyday on C/L.
  11. OCtoolguy
    Yes, it is Les. I have followed all these type threads for the last couple of years. I figured after I got my EX that it would be my last saw for a good while but after reading all the posts about the Hawks and looking at all the videos on the Bushton site I am actively watching for a deal on a good used Hawk. I'm not sure which model yet but it will probably come down to which one comes up first at the right price. I haven't seen any used BM26's at all or G4's for that matter. Lot's of older Hawks but I'm holding out for the best of the best with the variable speed control. I really want to try one.
  12. OCtoolguy
    I was going to ask the same question Les. I'd like to see the piston/chamber.

    I was all set to buy a bunch of the Olson Mach 3 blades until Iggy, who probably cuts more than any of us, chose to change over from the Olson blades to the Pegas MG after giving them a test run. So, I tried them and I like them too.

    I completely agree with you Stoney. I had a used Hegner saw and I realized what it's negative aspects were. My first complaint is the outrageous cost of parts. The reason I no longer have the saw is the speed problem that I encountered with it. And to fix it would have been ridiculous. So, I sold it. I have no personal experience with it but from what I have read and heard, the PS Woods saw is very much like the Hegner, American made and very reasonable in price. Customer support is great also. Sure, you might have to move a belt to change speed but how often does a scroller have to do that? If a used one ever comes on the market near me, I'm going to buy it and give it a test ride. If I don't like it, I'll sell it.

    I drank some "Old Crow" one time. Does that count?
  16. OCtoolguy
    Great idea Larry. Thanks.

    I went looking for a picture of this piece but had no luck. Anybody have a picture? I love trains. I think I found it. Is it the train depot clock? I love it. Gotta put that on my list.
  18. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Don.

    Bill, I think that is the same company. After seeing the quality that they put into the replacement blade clamps for the EX and the Dewalt/Jet/Seyco saws, I would expect the same degree of quality in their saws also. Their blades are among the best if not the best. With that in mind, I would hope they would demand that whoever is making their saws put the best quality control into the production.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Thanks everybody, That's the info I needed. I have done some searching and I think I can come up with something. I may just try signing with my soldering iron. It's really good one with adjustable heat.
  21. OCtoolguy
    That's what I'm talking about. Where'd ya get it?
  22. OCtoolguy
    My point exactly. Thanks Bill.
  23. OCtoolguy
    The one thing that comes to mind with the Pegas is, did they demand better product quality? The others coming out of China may or may not be very good. Nobody knows yet but with Pegas, I would think that they would demand high quality before they put their name on them. I can't imagine them accepting a "cheaply made knock-off".
  24. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Don, I take it you use the Sharpee prior to finishing?
  25. OCtoolguy
    I would like to put some sort of a signature on the things I'm making and I was wondering if any of you are doing it and how you are going about it. I don't have a wood burner but I have a pretty good soldering iron that I might be able to use. I also have seen somewhere that you can order a "branding iron" type of device. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I hope I worded this correctly.
