    Up until now, I have been leaving a sticky note on the table of my saw with the brand name and all the info for the blade that is in the saw. Mainly because, like you, I can't remember much anymore. Ray

    Thanks. I have no idea why I want to keep buying the different saws but I read stuff here and figure I must have that one or this one or whatever. I guess I should just go cut something and stop hanging out here. I get nothing done but I sure learn a lot. Ray

    I agree. Unless you can pipe it down in size to get some real suction at the pipe ends. Sort of the same as a venturi in a carburetor. Air speeds up as it passes through a smaller opening. Ray

    I look forward to it. I love watching the youtube videos of the old machinery. Very interesting stuff. Ray

    When my folks came to California in 1948 they were pulling a 26 foot house trailer behind a 38 Buick Century 4 dr. I sat in the back seat and it was a trip to remember. Maybe that's why I love RVing so much. We were literally "trailer trash" back then. We lived for 4 years in Pasadena Ca. in a park called "Trailer Haven". It wasn't "haven" in any way but the worst. Itinerant was an apt description. But, I loved every minute of it. I was 5-6 years old. Ray

    Thanks Randy. I won't be buying anything new unless I find buyers for the two saws I have. And, I don't really want to part with either of them. Ray

    For someone who doesn't own an Ex but wants to buy one in the future, is there any particular one to stay away from? I get the feeling that no matter where it's made or who made it, people are happy with them. Can we pretty much take that to the bank? I'm watching C/L everyday for a used one and I would hate to have to worry about all the stuff before buying one. I'm sort of confused at this point. Ray

    Thanks. That looks like a good idea and I also like your "trap" to catch the little stuff. Ray

    Great idea. I was looking for something like that but didn't see the swivel that you found. Ray

    I can't say one way or the other but since they recommend taking the tension off in the owner's manual, I got in the habit of doing it. But, I have forgotten many times and so far haven't seen any difference one way or the other. I'm not smart enough to make an educated decision on the subject so I'll just keep on doing what I have done in the past. FORGET to release the tension. Maybe with this reminder sign it won't happen quite so often. Thanks for your input Jerry. I read everything you post. Ray

    SUCK IT UP!!!

    I believe what you are saying but what about a car's springs? I've heard and always believed that the springs begin to sag after many years of having the weight of the car on them? Is that the same principle or not? Ray

    Great idea. I can never remember to loosen the tension on my bandsaw. This will make a great reminder. Ray

    There is nothing like a good strong dose of "sawdust" therapy to make a person feel better. Welcome back, and stay well. Ray

    Thanks Kevin, I look forward to seeing more of the videos. I went to an antique tractor and farm implement show a few years back and they had a great big old steam tractor hooked up to a saw mill with a long leather belt. I would hate to get in the way of that thing. But it was really neat to see how they did it a century or more ago. We have come a very long way. Thank God! Ray

    Very nice piece. I was going to inquire about your method of joinery but after reading further, I see you used pocket hole screws. Well done. Ray

    I think I'm saving my nickels and dimes for a Seyco or Ex21. I would love to buy American. Ray

    I was thinking the same thing Jay. But, I think I'd bandsaw both sides to make them equal in thickness. Sure wouldn't be hard to do if she has a bandsaw. Ray

    An old coffee cup suffices for me. Ray

    I have been following a few on Facebook too. I do like the SSV on FB. Ray
  21. OCtoolguy
    Or a dyed Easter egg. Ha! Ray

    He has always managed to answer my emails. And in what I would call a timely manner. He is a great representative of our hobby. Many thanks and "cudos" go out to Steve. Ray

    It was on the Scrollsaw Workshop Forum that Steve Good puts up. It just needs some oversight and maybe a few bells and whistles to be competitive. I like having more than one place to go seek information. The one you mentioned is still viable. Ray

    I posted a couple of questions on the other site a couple of weeks ago. I still haven't gotten an answer. Too bad. It needs some moderation and I know Steve Good is way too busy to do it all. It could be just as good as SSV but not without some help. Ray
  25. OCtoolguy
    Me too John T. I wondered the same. But, it did make me feel special for a bit. Ray
