    I agree.

    You folks have no idea how good you all make me feel. I have a ton of respect for all of our abilities. I have a long way to go.

    I did figure out what Paul was talking about. I can see it will be great. But, I still like coming to the General section first.
  4. OCtoolguy
    Very nice.

    Ok, for all those of you who had to put up with my endless questions regarding the constructing of this little basket, here is the finished product. I'll make the next one out of a better choice of wood but I wanted to practice on something cheap. So, poplar became that choice. I did use red oak as the plan called for though. I had a tough time figuring out what to use for a finish and took JT's advice to just use tung oil and shellac. I guess I'm happy with it. It was cut out totally using a Pegas #5 MGT.

    Thanks Paul, I'll see if I can figure out what you are referring to.
  7. OCtoolguy
    Well, I guess I don't have enough of a problem for it to show up. Thanks for that great explanation. So far, all I've cut is a maximum of 3/4".

    As always, JT is the man with the answer. Thanks JT. I'll have to check this out. So far, I haven't been troubled by and forward/backward movement. If I was to have it, how would it effect my cutting? Is it a real problem or just something that is part of the striving for perfection?

    How do you find time to read all the different forums? There is just too much to choose from. I'm more interested in the learning and teaching that goes on here. Maybe after I figure out what I'm doing, I'll take the time for other stuff. But thanks for the eye-opening. I'll head over there now.

    I still have 5 of them but the only reason is because they have bottle openers on the other end. I drink Corona and Heineken. Those two companies still haven't figured out the screw cap.

    Dan, I very seldom ever get beyond this General area. I haven't branched out that far yet. But, in the future I will.

    Beer was at one time in cans that had no pull tab. So, a church key was necessary. A lot of us used to have one on our key chain.

    Angled to the left or to the right? Snicker snicker.

    I've posted the plans that I used for my stand. I got them from another site but I can't recall where. If you need them, I can shoot them to you. Not sure how to go about finding them here on SSV.

    I should have added to the topic heading, it's located in Westminster which is in Orange County, Ca.

    Have you got it mounted to something stable. I had a tough time getting the vibration out of mine until I built a very heavy stand for it and then put the whole thing on that rubber floor stuff. Now, it's smooth and very quiet. Good luck with your new saw.

    I just ran across this today. Seems like a steal for somebody. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/d/rbi-hawk-precision-scroll-saw/6611869900.html

    I'll give it another try Dan. It sure seems like it would be quicker and easier once a habit is formed. Thanks.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Karl S., now you are going to have to "educate" the younger folks here on what a "church key" is. A lot of them have no idea what they missed in their short lives.

    I have the Jim Dandy arm lifter and I like it. It seems to keep the arm lifted to the maximum amount that it can go and I have never found it to be in my way. I'm left handed but I don't know what difference that would make. Maybe. Anyway, I tried top feeding and also found it awkward to reconnect the bottom of the blade. I guess with enough practice it might work out but right now, I'm a bottom feeder. I do hate that term though. I don't want to be associated with lawyers OR catfish. Oh well.....................
  21. OCtoolguy
    That's surprising. I wonder what they elongated and for what reason. Is it just in the casting? Are the arms any different? Curious.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Wow Scrappy. Thanks for that. I have a very nice Lowe's just a few minutes beyond the H/D.
  23. OCtoolguy
    I see him posting on FB a lot and he has been busy. He got flooded in that rain last week too.

    We really do need a "WOW" icon here on SSV. You got a "WOW" deal. Now all you have to do is come up with some projects.

    I went to Home Depot the other day to buy some MinWax stain. They have it all on close-out sale. I asked why they only had 3 colors of gel stain and they told me that Sherwin-Williams has bought out MinWax so H/D is dropping them. Have any of you folks heard that or is it B.S.? I know Lowes still has it but I didn't go there yet. At least they have it online. H/D doesn't even show it anymore online. Nothing but Verathane.
