    Do you have any kids or grandkids? They'll show you how.

    Are you talking about that Dewalt that someone here mentioned in another thread?

    How about a link to that pattern set? I like what I see. Thanks for posting.

    I've bought quite a few. No complaints. They will out last me.

    Many different small villages in China. I'm sure. Sort of like Afghanistan. Everybody there can build a fire and forge a rifle.

    It is what it is. The nature of woodworking. If you want to work in a "clean room" I suggest going into the computer industry. You are fighting an unwinnable battle. I'm thinking of a large fan in one window and a large exit window on the opposite wall might be the best solution.

    It's a unique club that I belong to also.

    Thanks Paul. That's the sort of thing that winds my crank. I might have to try that transformer.

    Nice cut. Never saw the movie.

    My advice is to just take a couple of blades with you and some scrap wood that is similar to what you will be using. Give it a try. Listen for any odd noises and give the mechanism a jiggle in different spots. Those saws are pretty tough and anything that might be bad is easily fixable. As long as the motor runs and the variable controller is working as it should, you will be good to go.

    Glad to see & hear from you Scott. And, also happy to hear your wife is mended. Sorry to hear that you moved from the beach. I always envied you. Anyway, now let's hope you have more time to get back to scrolling and posting here at the Village.

    Sounds good.

    Kevin, I was looking at those arms and saw that they seem to be of some sort of a tapered piece curling inward. So, I think if you have some forstner bits you could do some concentric circles moving inward and reducing the sizes and it would appear that they were "swirling". I was thinking of how to make the tapered effect also. It's going to be a real head scratcher though. If you do make one, it might almost be a good idea to make extra pieces and parts as you go along so that if you screw up something you have a fall-back on hand. As for all the different types of woods, the one pictured seems to just be painted. That's how I might go about it too and just make it out of whatever you have on hand.

    My thoughts exactly. Life in prison takes on a whole new meaning once you hit 80. Being totally taken care of for the rest of my days doesn't sound all that bad and if I'm not mistaken, most of the prisons have workshops. Win-win!

    Personally, I think we should do away with most of the laws and let the citizens fight it out amongst themselves. It won't take long.

    I don't think any woodburning stove is legal here. I'll have check. If they turn off our gas I may have to burn my precious scraps.

    You know Kevin, Your wood stove would be illegal in California.

    It really is a nice yard. And the young guy who runs their online store, Chris, is so nice to work with. If I ask him for a special thickness that they don't usually offer, he adds it to the list for the planer shop when they have time. They don't offer anything in 3/8" but one of my patterns calls for 3/8" walnut. So, I ordered a 6 ft x 12" piece from them. Now I have plenty for a long while. Great people to deal with and their prices are so reasonable. They have a special section for scroll saw wood. Cherokeewood.com.

    Whenever I take a drive out to Cherokee Wood Products, I always come away with a couple of boxes with cutoffs that they would otherwise put through the shredder. I've got some very nice "scraps" of purple heart and other woods that I can't identify. Great place to buy from.

    I have 2 Ex saws and have cut bowls with no problem. I think if you loosen the table hold down bolts and adjust the table so that it doesn't contact the blade at full tilt and then retighten them. You may have to readjust your blade clamps to compensate. Once you get this done you shouldn't have to do it again.

    An you do a damned fine job of it Denny.

    I quit drinking when they invented funnels.

    A beautiful job all around. Your scrolling is top-notch!

    I have some basswood slabs that I've been saving. Where can I find the pattern? Yours is beautiful and inspirational.
