    I was wondering what you were saying Barbara but now with the explanation I get it. It would have been great if in the world everybody spoke the same language. Be well.

    I used to suffer very bad headaches. I called them migraines but not sure. Anyway, I found the magic formula for pain killers and I no longer have the headaches. Whenever I would wake up with a headache or feel one coming on, I'd take a 100 milligram Imitrex ( sumatriptan) and a 500 milligram naproxen (Alleve) together and within 20 minutes it was gone. Sometimes it would make me sleepy so I would lay down for a while but when I woke up, everything was good. Give them a try. Maybe no more shots will be necessary.

    English is a very hard language to learn because so many words are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronounciations. Best of luck to you.

    Congratualtions on your new 'toy". Your English is far better than I could do with your native language so no problems there. Please do keep us updated on what you make. We ALL love pictures so the more the better. By the way, what country are you in? I see by looking at your saw that the on/off control is mounted at the rear and is very much different from what we have here in the U.S.

    I'm sorry but my French is lacking.

    Thank you. I know I am but I only have them after doing a lot of buying/selling of used saws. I realize how lucky I am to be where that is possible. I hope the best for you and all your fellow scrollers in So. Africa. It's a shame when a government makes life so difficult when it's not necessary.

    Yeah, there is that too. Oh well. I must have been lucky. My type 1 did great up to and after the maintenance. Then I sold it and started upgrading.

    Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! No matter what the subject matter.

    I use Pegas # 5 for almost everything. I don't do much fretwork though. I have tried using the #3's but not often.

    Steve Good has some very basic tutorials on using Inkscape to do what you are wanting to do. Check him out at Scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com..

    And here is some more info from same place.

    Here's a great pic of what I'm talking about. It came from Scrollsaws.com if you haven't visited there yet.

    Ok, when Spike did what you said, how far did he go into the machine? If he took that tension cover off and found that rod, he should have been able to pull or push on it and while lifting up on the arm it should have slid in and out fairly easily. If that wedge has gotten jammed in where it slides, it may require splitting the case apart to get at it but first try what I'm saying. Get to where you can maneuver that rod in and out and while pushing it in toward the saw body, try lifting up the saws arm and jiggling the rod. I think what has happened is somebody lifted the saw by the upper arm and while doing that they may have turned the tension lever and it got the wedge fully engaged. Once the saw was set back down again, the arm relaxed and the wedge got stuck. Try lifting up the arm really hard and while doing that move the tension lever as far in each direction as you can and see if you can unstick the wedge. I'm sure that is where the problem is.

    That's the brand I was going to try before reading about Gorilla. Thanks.
  19. OCtoolguy
    This is what I have now but a different brand. Thanks.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Let us know if they work out. Also, which brand nailer do you have? I've been toying with buying the Banks from H/F.

    This is why I get confused. There are two schools of thought already on this subject. I always screw the cap on tightly but the next time I want to use the glue, and it might be a while, it's either dried solid or has become jell-like and won't come out of the bottle. I have been reading on the different brands of CA and it seems like the Gorilla brand of instand glue gets the thumbs up for lasting and drying fast. No accelerator necessary. It amazes me at the cost of any of the CA glues. There are a couple of names on Amazon that I've not heard of but they have pretty good ratings. Except for the folks who never give good ratings on anything. I guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and hope for the best. Keep all the info coming though. I'm reading everything and trying to keep an open mind on what to do. Brand names help too.
  22. OCtoolguy
    I have had terrible luck with buying any of the CA glues and keeping them useable. I open, use once and the next time, they are dead. Sealed up never to be opened again. Anyway, to my question, What brand, viscosity, size to buy? Also, I've heard that the accelerator is really nothing but water in an aerosol can. So, who can tell me the straight truth? I want to buy some to have on hand, and I want it to not dry up in the bottle between uses. How to do that? Please!!

    Joe, how about turning down the air pressure to your nailer? Would that keep the pins from driving so far into the wood. And also, when nailing, place the stack on a steel surface so the pins that might protrude are flattened on the steel. Just guessing here as I've not tried that yet. I'm waiting for the right deal to come along on a pin nailer. What's the shortest pin you can get?

    Also pay attention to the sleeves when doing this job. When I did mine I was prepared to buy a whole set of bearings and sleeves. Luckily I had no bad ones. Examine the sleeves for wear marks. If they are not grooved or overly shiney, chances are good that the bearings are not bad. Try to wipe as much of the old grease out of the bearings with pipe cleaners but DO NOT wash them in solvent. Once you do that grease will never stick to the bearings and they will quickly wear out. Just give them a good packing of synthetic grease and reassemble. You'll be amazed at how much quieter and smoother the saw will be.

    Looks great Scott. I hope you have a successful outing.
