    Hi Scott and thanks for posting. Ray

    Hey folks, I just had something occur to me and I thought it warranted this new topic. We all have our "nicknames" and either pictures or some other artwork on our posts. But, most folks who post don't sign their actual names. I always try to sign my name to my posts. It might be nice to know each other's real name so we can refer to them as such. I have picked up on a few names but most are just a nickname. After seeing all the posts and topics by New2woodwork, I have no idea what his name is. Just as example here. Not picking on him at all. So, what say all of you? Names or nicknames? Ray

    My wife and I sold out everything and hit the road for 3 years back in 08. We pulled a 36 ft. fifth wheel behind a crewcab dually. I learned very quickly just how good most, and I say MOST, truck drivers are. And how courteous most of them are. We never had any problems out on the highway and have nothing but the greatest of respect for MOST truckers. I love to drive and if I had it to over again, I'd think hard about being a long haul truck driver. Ray

    It's almost as bad as super glue for "stickiness". I know of a few kids who could stand a shot of 77 on their lips. Ray

    I did it without heating it for a neighbor who wasn't able to get it on by herself. It is very tight but it can be done. Another thing I found out. At least on my Dewalt, when I built the vac system for mine, the blower tube was in the way. The cover under the arm that it connects to is reversible but just removing two screws and turning it 180 degrees. Now, it's on the right side instead of the left and totally out of the way. Just a bit of info for anybody interested. Ray

    Now, you are going to need a second new saw. Once she gets her hands on your new Delta, she won't ever want to go back to the Wen. It will end up on C/L. Ray

    This one has been on C/L for a while now. I'll bet it can be bought for less. I realize it's an oldie but it might be ok for a second saw or a learning saw. https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/tls/d/rbi-scrollsaw-craftsman/6532081551.html Ray

    I don't have to justify any of my purchases as far as the dollar amount goes. My wife only looks at me weird and questions my sanity because of my small shop. Her question is always " what are you going to get rid of?" I can buy anything I want as long as it doesn't crash our retirement account..I'm building up to the subject of an EX 21 at some point but to appease her, I will probably get rid of the Dewalt because it is of the same variety as the EX. I want to keep the Hegner just because I have always considered it at the top end and it does have a totally different mechanism. Now, if a Seyco was to come along a the right price, I might go that route instead. What I really need is to hit the lottery so we can buy a house with a piece of ground large enough to build that dream shop I have always wanted. But, that won't happen because I'm too cheap to buy a lottery ticket. Oh well....................... Ray

    Today, I learned something. I don't understand it but I learned it. Ray

    I'll bet it has nothing to do with Amazon. It doesn't sound like something they do. Ray

    I guess I just didn't understand that I can't click on my own link and have it take me to the subject material. It kept taking me to my own desktop. Strange. Anyway, I wasted a ton of time to find this out. Oh well..................... Ray

    Thanks to all. I think what is wrong is when I do exactly as you all have suggested, I see the file on my screen. I hit the save button and then I try to access the file that I have just uploaded and it takes me right to my desktop screen where I have the file. It then gives me a "save" option. I have already saved it a couple of times so that is not working. I'm going to try it one more time and see if you folks can access it. Maybe I can't access a file on my computer that I upload. Anyway, here it is again. Let me know if you can access it. Ray kennethstand.pdf

    Yes on the PVC. I used 3/4 but it could very well have been 1/2"
  14. OCtoolguy
    Thanks. I might have to give this a try. Ray
  15. OCtoolguy
    Sorry but I just can't get the file to upload. I'll figure out a way though. Bear with me. Ray
  16. OCtoolguy
    Wrong/ Won't work.

    Thanks Jerry. I have no idea why I didn't think of that. I guess I really am close to the end. Ray
  18. OCtoolguy
    I'll give that a try. Thanks Wayne. Ray

    Where did you find a stainless bolt with the correct thread? I haven't tried to find one so I'm asking. Might be a good idea to replace all the similar bolts at the same time. Ray
  20. OCtoolguy
    I tried that and it did put a link to the .pdf file but the file is one my computer and that's where it goes. I want to actually upload the file to SSV.

    I'm vacuuming both top and bottom of the table. No more mess under the table. I still use the blower tube up top and have it aimed in such a way that it pushes the dust toward the upper vacuum tube. I bought the flex tube from here....http://www.loc-line.com/distributors/us-distributors/. I bought 3/4" stuff but when I make the set up for my Hegner, I'm going to make it out of 1/2" instead. Tighter quarters on the Heg. I also have a 20" box fan fitted with a furnace filter to the right of the saw. It pulls some of the dust that is airborn. Ray

    Thanks Jer but that's not my problem. I have plans for a saw stand that are in .pdf format. About 7 pages. I wanted to post the .pdf here or the .doc file after conversion. But, so far I haven't figured out how. I hate to post 7 pages of pics. Ray
  23. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Les. I haven't taken any pics of my stand in it's finished condition but I will when it is done. I have been trying to post the plans for the stand but so far I haven't figured out how to do it. I just put up a new topic to see if I can get any help. Ray

    I am trying to post plans for a scroll saw stand that I built and it is in a .pdf file. I converted it to a Word file but I haven't had any success in posting either one. Can someone advise how to do this? Or if it is even doable? Thanks, Ray
  25. OCtoolguy
    My shop is 9 x 13 and I have a lot of equipment in it. Two scroll saws. But with that said, the stand that I built for my Dewalt sits pretty much back in a corner but it will move. I have been trying to come up with some sort of "lift" mechanism so that it can be rolled but so far, I haven't found one I like. I don't want to lose the "firmness" that it now has. I did buy some of the H/F foam mat and put that under it so it doesn't move at this time and is very vibration free. Anyway, there are many ways to do it and the stand I built could have wheels incorporated into it. It depends on how creative you are. I don't recall where I found the plans. I made the top so that it can tilt to give me different working angles. Oh, and I also made a dust control system for for it that incorporates a Fein vacuum. I'll stick a pic here. Also the plans. I found them so I'm including them. Dang it. I'm having trouble posting the plans. I'll figure it out and post them. Ray
