    Thank you all. I have had a quick little tutorial here. I only asked because I'm going to be assembling my latest basket. It has 7 layers plus the top and bottom. The first one I made, I used aliphatic resin, (wood glue) and I used it very sparingly but I still got a tiny bit of squeeze out. I thought this time I might try using CA glue and the accompanying accelerator. But now you all have me wondering if that is the best way to go. I have never used CA for any of my projects other than to fix something that either broke or split. I am going to attach a pic of what I'm doing. You've all seen it before but a pic is worth a thousand words. Somebody else said that once but I'll be darned if I recall who it was. Thanks again, everybody. I love you all.

    I just have to convince my wife that it's a great deal. I just looked to see the driving time. It's about 80 miles each way for me but with the SoCal traffic that's about 4 hours at best. I'm thinking though.

    I'm sorry. I don't know what happened but I know I posted the link earlier. Check it out now. I just reposted it.

    Here is a fantastic deal on a Hegner with all the upgrades if you are anywhere near So Cal. $150. https://ventura.craigslist.org/tls/d/scroll-saw-18-hegner/6753869910.html

    Did you see the one I posted a while ago? A Hegner with all the upgrades for $150. I'm tempted to go buy it just to resell it.

    Wow! That's pretty thick. I'm only talking about 1/4" stuff. That should be fairly easy to "uncup". The folks who I bought my wood from got the order messed up and sent me 1/4" oak but they sent 1/8" maple so they corrected that. I ended up with a free piece of maple but it is cupping now too. I don't have space to "sticker" it so I guess I'll have to do the whole process on it too.

    Is there more than one kind of C/A glue and if so, what are the differences? I'm just a bit confused over the whole thing. I bought a bottle of Gorilla super glue not knowing it was more of a gel and is a bit slow to cure. I don't know if accelerator will work with it or not.
  8. OCtoolguy
    How large a piece are you talking about Brad? I'm trying to envision your description.
  9. OCtoolguy
    I did. I would love to have a few of the tools you guys have but they would have to be stored outside my shop until needed. And living by the ocean, that ain't gonna happen. I am maxed out in my itty-bitty shop.

    I have used "super" glue for many years in both the very thin state and also the thicker type. I have never used any of the accelerator though. Can any of you offer any advice on what you use as to type, brand, etc.? Actually, I have never been to any of the hardware stores and found any of the accelerator types. Where do you buy them?

    I was taught in high school wood shop class that you can take a dent out of wood the same way. I am going to give this a try. A couple more questions..... how much cup were you able to cure? And what brand/make of drum sander do you have. I might start looking for a used one. I know I'm probably dreaming but who knows?

    @SCROLLSAW703I'm going to hit the local Goodwill stores to see if I can find an old iron. I like that idea. How wet do you get the wood before "steaming" it?

    Here is an example of what I'm talking about. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/d/dewalt-scroll-saw-for-sale-or/6753873631.html

    Are you sure that you don't have that backward? You know you wanted a mig welder.

    Before I'd buy any saw brand new, I'd search out Craigslist. Keep an eye on it and watch for a deal to come along. I have had 3 saws so far. All bought used that way. A Dewalt, a Hegner and an Excalibur. I haven't paid more than $300 for any one of them.

    I bought a set of those cool blocks. They work great. I experimented one time with some hard wood that I cut and shaped to fit in the holders. I moved them in real close to the blade enough so that the blade actually cut itself into them. I had them set clear out to the front of the teeth so the blade was more or less "encased" in the wood. I greased them up and used them for quite a while. They worked pretty well.
  17. OCtoolguy
    Hey, if the blade tracks ok and it doesn't come off, that's great. That is a great little bandsaw. I'd trade mine for it any day.
  18. OCtoolguy
    After all that time and after sitting unused, how are the tires? I'd think they might oughta be replaced. You got a heck of a deal on that saw. That's back when they were well made.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Would that be an Ariel square four? I've never seen one.
  20. OCtoolguy
    That's amazing Brad. I sure do wish I had a drum sander. Actually, I wish I had room for a drum sander.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Can't you see how "offended" I am? Let's try to stay on topic. LOL!

    A pack of " wild dogs"!

    Well said Fredfret. Thank you.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Thank you so much, Dan, for the thought. I'm hoping for your long ordeal to be over soon. I, for one, miss your input on so many subjects. GET WELL SOON! That's an order.
  25. OCtoolguy
    Hence, the need for more than one saw. I have a long-term project going now but in the meantime, I'm making a couple of Christmas gifts too. Couldn't do it with one saw.
