    Worth every penny of $65. If it's near you, I'd buy it just to have one around. PS Woods makes great saws from what I have heard. Very heavy duty like a Hegner.

    Great job of cutting. And I love the message too.

    Has anybody checked the dollar stores yet? They may have some too.

    I'd like to hear from anybody who may have tried the original ones made for the EX on their Dewalts. I liked the idea of the tension lever and not having to use the round tension knob on the Dewalt. Anybody out there tried them?

    If only you knew how close to home you are Les. My wife is the consummate "clean freak". She wears me out just watching her flit around the house cleaning and dusting and washing clothes and whatever. Actually, I'm trying very hard to get her interested in scrolling. I certainly have enough saws now.

    I'm just glad to hear it was that and not some life threatening illness or such. We all have times when we have to set aside our hobbies in order to attend to what life throws at us. My interests seem to find many ways to deviate also. And there is my wife too.

    Mike, I have to ask, why have you not been scrolling?

    We broke many records here in the Southland yesterday. One of them, out in Riverside went back to 1918. Damned "global warming" anyway. Ha! You can't see most of it. That part is neat just so I can get in and out.

    You can't see most of it. That part is neat just so I can get in and out. Jerry, My shop is all of 9 x 13 feet. I have mostly portable tools that can be used outside. I have to keep it under control or I wouldn't be able to do anything. I even have a portable work table outside made of two sawhorses and a piece of plywood. But, it beats not having a shop at all.

    We knew it was coming but nobody expected it to be this hot. On my back porch it was over 103° all day. That's in the shade. I was working in my shop and on the driveway building a cart/stand for my EX. I finally got it in clamps. Tomorrow I will drill and screw it all together. I used 7" wheels from H/F so I can get it in and out of my shop. Generally it's pretty nice out on the driveway so I will do a lot of my scrolling out there.

    Sam,  I just noticed that you are in So Cal. Where might you be? I'm in Huntington Beach. Are we close to one another?

    Edward, praying that it all goes well for you and your wish of same day scrolling does happen. Hang tough.

    Ya know what, most folks, myself included feel that it's a compliment to be asked for their help or advice. And, for me, I know it makes me feel good to be able to help someone who is in need. So, stop feeling like you are "bothering" folks. Just ask them. If they blow you off, that tells you that you probably don't need them in your life anyway. Other people join groups for not only the friendship and camaraderie but also to learn from others. Whenever I get interested in a new hobby, the first thing I do is go out and find forums like this one so I have folks to ask for help and advice. So far, I've never been disappointed and I have never been told I'm a bother.

    And they are great for rounding off the head of a bolt.

    Happy 4th too all my SSV friends. And all you Brits, get back to work. LOL!
  16. OCtoolguy
    Very nice work. Thanks for posting.
  17. OCtoolguy
    That's the one. Thanks so much.

    I am curious as to why Kansas City though. Any particular reason? I can think of at least a thousand other places to move to.

    The picture is the cover photo for the Tri City Scrollers and Woodcrafters group on Facebook. I have tried to contact them to see where I can find the pattern but so far, I haven't heard anything back. Thanks for all your help folks. I'll keep trying.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Russell but I went and looked. I didn't see it but there are some great patterns.
  21. OCtoolguy
    I just saw this on FB and I shot a quick screen shot of it. I'd love to cut it out. Anybody seen it before?
  22. OCtoolguy
    Good luck with the sale Ike. I hope you have grand time.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Tony, what is your impression of the Pegas clamps. I was thinking about a set for my Dewalt up until I bought the EX. Now, I may be selling the Dewalt so it's on hold.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Get those straws quickly before they become outlawed. The whackos are trying desperately to take off the market.
  25. OCtoolguy
    Sam, it's the nylon screw just forward and below the tension lever. It is how you adjust the tension lever's stop.
