Kevin, I'm curious as to how you were able to tell all that from one picture. I looked at it and saw that it has variable speed and the tension lever on the arm. I don't see that motor. To me, it looks like a 226 Ultra. Just like the one I had. What do you see?

It pretty much depends on which Hawk it is. We need mor info to make an informed suggestion. Can you supply the ad?

Have you tried cutting out alcohol?

I'm trying to picture that. Can you ad a pic?

I have an office chair salvaged from a site here in our park. It has arm rests which I like and I lean back while pondering & fitting and sanding etc.

I have the Ridgid and love it. Worth every penny.

Well, the most important thing to have is patience. 2nd is tenacity and it appears that you were blessed with both. I used one of those jigs and actually owned one at one time. Mine did have the Craftsman brand name on it. If you ever decide to do a video, I'd love to see how you do it.

I'd love to know all of your steps on the building of these boxes. What did you use for the dovetailing etc.? I love boxes bowls and baskets and am always looking for more info on how others do it. Your work is astounding. I had no idea of your talent until now. You are very good at what you do.

I've been using the same can of Johnson's paste wax for about 30 years. It's really hard to use it up.

Well if you come up with a way that won't break either of our banks just let us know what you need. We can put blades in a birthday card or something like it. Other stuff might being more creative but we can getter done!

I had a used type 1 and after tuning it and doing the re-grease it was a great saw. I added the Pegas clamps and that took most all of the little vibration that it had out of it. I sanded the table top to remove the corrosion and grind marks until it was very smooth and kept it waxed. I built a 3 legged stand for it that went with it when I sold it. If I had not found a really great deal on a used Excalibur, I'd probably still have it.

Just because a computer stops operating doesn't mean you've lost all your data. Get a new computer and hook up the hard drive with the proper cable and you should be able to retrieve most everything. Now if the harddrive is the problem and has actually crashed it may not be retrievable. Even then there are companies that have pretty good success rates with data retrieval. Expensive though. The cable you need is available on Amazon for less than $20.

Nope!

That's true Paul but not legally.

We're not allowed to burn anything.

I would not use a router. They are much harder to control and if you aren't adept at using one can be very dangerous. Learn to use your scroll saw. Cutting circles is difficult but not impossible. Use up some scrap wood and practice. It's mostly just a bit of coordinating your cut speed and hand speed. That's why practice is important. Once you get the feel of it, you'll do fine. Regarding what is available to you where you are, is it possible for regular folks like us here in the U.S. to ship things to you without incurring a lot of import duty. Sort of like sending gifts at Christmas and birthdays might be. If we could be of help to get you the supplies that you need, I know we could get something set up here. Other than the actual cost of shipping and the cost of goods, maybe we could get you what you can't find where you are.

That's my park. She must be fairly new if she's paying that much. Why don't you PM me her name etc. I'd like to know who she is. We had one lady move in and she pretty much stole the home and said that she would stay 5 years and then walk away from it.
-
I'd be interested in which park she's in. At that rent it's got to be down closer to the beach. We are a mile from Bolsa Chica and our rent is right at $1400. New folks coming in get hit for $2295/mo
-
Well, I love California and especially where we are at but the politics here and the cost of living is just almost not worth the weather. But, since the park changed hands and the lot rents went through the roof, it's almost impossible to sell a home now. Oh, we could sell ours but we'd take too big of a hit on it. The $100k depreciation is just too much to swallow. So, we'll stay here.
-
We decided we are just too old to be making any moves so I guess that's the answer. I wish we were 10 years younger. We'd be gone.

A true artist doesn't care what anybody thinks. He's doing it for his own satisfaction. Go for it!
-
I completely agree with you Dick. I think that's the reason I don't get involved with any long-term fretwork patterns. By the time I would finish one, I'd be completely tired of looking at it.
-
That looks like a real good deal on that saw. I've seen saws similar for a whole lot more money. If I had a place for it, I'd certainly consider buying it.
-
I just went to find the one you mentioned Paul and found this one also. Give it a watch. This guy has waaaay to much patience. I could never undertake anything like this and complete it. Enjoy.

Long ago Paul. Long ago
