    https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/tls/d/hegner-speed-saw-with/6482784992.html This one is a steal. It won't last long. I'd buy it if I hadn't just bought one like it. Get busy folks. Ray

    That Goo Gone or similar products will leave behind an oily residue and make your project impossible to stain. Be careful what you use it on. Once it's in the wood, you'll never get it out. Might even be tough to paint over. Ray

    Just imagine in the second one, that you extended out the base line to the right and put the name "Dolphins" on the top of that line. You would end up with a "plaque" that could be mounted on a flat base for a shelf or desk ornament. It all depends on what you intend to use your "cut-out" for. Many ways to look at the same picture.

    Travis, not to take anything away from Bear but I bought my first batch of Pegas blades from them before I realized they were in Canada. It took 2 weeks or more to get my order so the next time I'm going to give D & D a try. Just sayin........... Ray

    But, you fixed it without buying a new furnace. That's the whole point. Ray

    That's strange. I followed my own link, did a screen refresh and then moved all 16 rolls to my shopping cart. All I had to do was to finish the sale. Something weird going on. Ray

    I just went to Amazon and found this. Only 16 rolls left. Anybody want to make a big buy? $5.64 a roll. https://www.amazon.com/Duck-Brand-1115496-Laminate-Adhesive/dp/B01L3ZM1RA/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1517609021&sr=8-3&keywords=duck+brand+adhesive+shelf+liner+12"+x+36'&dpID=41HD6JJPZPL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Ray

    Ed, when you want to post a link, wherever you are say in Amazon and you have the item on your screen, up in the address bar, just right click and click copy.Then go to wherever you want to post the link to and right click again and click paste. Ray

    I've used ash in place of oak many times. It cuts and works nice. I've got no experience with it in scrolling but if it is anything like the other projects that I have built, it will be great. Ray

    I like this idea much better than the carousel that I am working on. And it would be far easier to carry between my two saws. Thanks. Ray

    And you would be oh so correct. But, when it comes to making a noise when it shouldn't, that is usually mechanical so fixable. We have a service contract right now that is good for one more year. Then we will let it go until we need it again. The last time we had a issue that I wasn't sure how to fix, we called the service guy out and he diagnosed the problem as the door lock interlock. Electronic and mechanical. He told us how much to fix it but at the same time, he offered to sell us a two year service plan that would cover the repair and cover us for the next two years for not much more. Well it was a no brainer to buy the plan. He fixed the problem, supplied the parts and we were covered for two years. I'm sure that the next time it happens, if we are out of contract, we'll be offered that same thing again. At that point, we will have to figure out if we want to renew or buy a new washer or pay to fix it. Whatever works. R

    I'm one of those people who absolutely hate to throw anything away if there is the remotest possibility of fixing it. My wife's washer was making a noise so I called a repair guy. He told me that we should trash it and buy a new one because it would be a minimum of $400 for him to service it. I once again went to youtube and found a video. Everything is repairable in most cases. Ray

    I watched a couple of youtube videos on how to fix our Mitsubishi and it really isn't all that hard. Just pieces and parts. Ray

    Kevin, you're a hoot. Love it. Ray

    Very nice Charley. Those prescription bottles look like the way to go. I'll have to investigate them at my local drug store. Ray

    Looks great to me. R

    Len, I just took the picture of your controller and brought into Irfanview. I rotated it 180 and zoomed in on it to try to see more of the pieces and parts. To me, the solder joints on the potentiometer don't look good. Is there a possibility that there might be a "cold" joint on the red wire? It just doesn't look good to me. It should be a smooth shiny flow of solder and from what I can see in the pic, it doesn't look that way. I'd sure like to see the underside of that board too.

    There certainly is a lot to be said for "simplicity". Ray

    I'll bet I see an EX in your future Iggy. Ray

    I will say, I just purchased a used Hegner and I of course had to take it all apart and check it all out for dirt and lubrication. It has got to be the simplest mechanism of all the saws. There is virtually nothing to go wrong with a Hegner if oiled occasionally. Simplicity is the key word here. I also have a Dewalt and it's mechanism is very similar to the EX, the Seyco, the King and the Excelsior. Many moving parts to maintain and lubricate and keep in tune. Not to disparage any of these saws. They all are great products. The Hawk is too but I don't have any experience with them. Just my two cents worth. I'm not suggesting any of these saws but just wanted to say what I think of there mechanical aspects. Ray

    I fully believe in GOOD doctors. The problem comes in when trying to find one. Our medical situation in this country has driven most of the good ones out of business or they are so busy, you can't get an appointment. I've been trying for two months to get a full physical but my appointment has been cancelled twice due to the unavailability of my primary physician. I'm supposed to be going in Thursday but I'm expecting a call at any time cancelling once again. R

    I noticed many of you mentioned that you print labels using Inkscape. I'm in the middle of trying to learn how to use that program but so far I haven't gotten too far. Too many other things to learn right now. Anyway, can any of you offer up a quick easy tutorial on how to go about creating and printing your labels? I might be asking too much here but if its quick and easy, I know I for one would greatly appreciate not having to learn a new technique in Inkscape right now. Thanks for anything offered. Ray

    Thanks Roly, I've always wanted to try one of those contraptions. I see they aren't expensive anymore so I might just give it a try. This might be the answer for many of us. Now, all I have to do is not pass out when the blood leaves my head. Ha! Ray

    How tall are you and do you consider yourself average size or ????????? I'm 6' 1" and I weigh 225 lbs. I found the shop chair that I bought from Northern Tool to be too small for my size. It looks like the Craftsman chair but might be smaller. Ray

    I just went through this same problem with the saw I bought. It came with a bunch of blades and I had no idea how to sort them. After reading all the answers to my question, I bagged them up and put them in a drawer for possible future use. Or trash. Whatever the case might turn out to be. Best advice.......go buy some good quality blades of the 3 main brands. Flying Dutchman, Olson, or Pegas. It's a crapshoot as to which ones you will like but you gotta try them all for a while. I'm in the middle of that right now. Ray
