I'll bet that chair costs more than all 3 of my saws combined. It looks very well made. I'd be happy to own your old chair.

Scroll Saw Finishig - Wood Treatment

Where do you find 1500 grit paper? I've not seen anything beyond 800. -
Just my 2 cents worth here. I started out with a used Dewalt. After doing the bearing service it was a great saw. I sold it when I found a used Ex. Anyway, my point is look around for a good used saw. There are many for sale around the country. I have no idea where you are but Craigslist & Marketplace are you best friends. I've bought and sold quite a few saws of the top brands. I am a "dyed-in-the-wool" cheapskate. I seldom buy anything new. Don't get in a rush. Check around and see what's available. Best of luck. I hope your situation improves.

I knew they would make it right. I've had excellent service from them. I was going to suggest filling that void with some 2x material but you already have it handled.

Very nicely laid out Frank. That's packing 10 pounds into a 5 pound bag for sure. I hope you are going to let Wen know about that broken base. It needs to be made better and that won't happen unless they know there's a problem. I'm sure they'll ship you a new one. Especially since this is your second attempt at getting a good DP. Thanks for all the pics. You've given me a few good ideas for how I can get more out of my small workspace.

I have a 10 inch Delta and mine is too.

Yeah, I'm going to build an enclosure but just haven't got anyplace for it yet. Working on enclosing my driveway.

I wish my wife would let me run mine in the house. Sad!

Very nice Kevin.

The one thing that I miss from my very old Craftsman drill press was the spindle lock. I could pull the spindle down and just turn the little arm on the left side to lock it in any position. Very handy feature that is no long on any of the drill presses that I have looked at. If I ever run across another DP like my old one, I'll snatch it up.

I like the "lazy Susan" idea. Thanks.

I suppose you could cut a square out of the center of them but otherwise, I don't see much use. But, that's just me.

Very nice!

Just about anywhere in the world would be cheaper. Even if you could afford the price of the house, the taxes would eat you alive. Starting at just over 1% of selling price. Then a 2% increase on that amount each and every year. Or more.

Yeah, I got in hot water a couple of years back for talking about California's problems. Maybe it is ok in Coffee Shop. Not sure. But whatever you've heard is probably true.

I had problems also until I was informed that the font wont show up in the font list until you restart your computer.

I'm not allowed to talk politics here James.

Thanks RJ. That works. Now I won't have to do it every time I start a new project.
-
Thanks for all the pics. Those steel framed tables are nice.
-
Yeah, I agree Denny. I'm thinking something in the saw is disintegrating. Bearings?

I found a short video on youtube that shows how to set "document properties" default settings. I tried it but it wouldn't work for my latest version of Inkscape. Inkscape is frustrating but I keep trying to learn it. Little by little it's starting to be useable for the little that I need.
-
I'm no expert by any means but I think the setting is in "document properties" in the file menu line. If I recall, it's there. Edit: Ok, I just went there and under "display" there is a color chart and the setting you want is "page". Yours is probably set all the way to black. Just slide the slider all the way to the right and it should turn it white.

I'd certainly opt for bolting it to the new bench and as mentioned, use some rubber cushion between the saw and the stand. Don't over-tighten the bolts so the cushion can do its job. I like you bench. Nice work.
-
Maybe a pic would help.

I'd like to see more pics of your shop. Different angles. It looks to be very organized.
