    I'd love to have it but we are too far apart and I don't have space for it anyway. But, I'd sure love to have it. Why are you selling it if I may ask?
  2. OCtoolguy
    If I had the space for all the gadgets I want, I wouldn't be able to afford them. Once I get all my stuff made up, I'll have to run over to Rolf's and have him show me how to sand them all.

    When/if I take an order, I tell them not to place the order if they are in a hurry. So, I get to take my time and do it my way. And that varies on every project. I'm too new to the hobby to have any set ways yet.

    All very sound points Kevin.

    Barbara, I have so many varied interests. My wife and I share the morning paper so while she is reading it, I started doing the crossword puzzles. There are 4 of them everyday. I've learned a ton of new words & facts and can now answer many of the Jeopardy questions. So what you say is true. Gotta keep the mind working all the time. I've got 2 books going all the time too. I love reading.

    Thanks Dave. I guess I'll just stick with the old office chair I scrounged up. It's still my favorite.

    I enjoy the cutting so much that I'm always sad when I finish and the drudgery of sanding and finishing begins. I'm not one to have projects all lined up and prepped but I may have to start so that I always have something ready to scroll.

    I think I'd like it with the back rest. I love the tractor seat but I want to lean back sometimes. I'll have to collect some cans & bottles.

    I'm only a silver supporter and I got in RJ. You do have to accept the rules first. That was tough. I'm not a good lad when it comes to rules. LOL.

    I guess I'm not big enough yet to access this "special area". I wonder how much it costs.

    Well, you deserve the praise. You are doing a good thing and your Mother proves that you are never too old to learn something new. Scrolling is a hobby for all ages and the quality of the new saws just makes learning that much easier. After doing a quick search to see what the Delta saw looks like, it seems there are a ton of them on the used market and at very reasonable prices. You should have no problem finding a good saw for Mom.

    That's great news Brenda. I don't want to hear about losing another scroller for a good long while.

    Adjusting the upper arm is going to be her answer.

    Scott, I'm no professional by any means but from all I've read on the subject, it seems that clear laquer is the go-to finish for both finish and clean up. Or maybe a water based poly. I'm sure others will be chiming in and I'll be watching for sure. I wish I had room for all the stuff I want.

    I agree Paul. My woodshop teacher was a great man by the name of Jack Cohen. He's about the only teacher that I can remember. I can still see him standing up on top of one of the woodbenches and demonstrating how to use a router. When they discontinued shop classes they stopped many people from entering into the trades and now we have a shortage of people who know how to fix stuff. I'd love to see Trade Schools make a come back. Of course, they'll have to hire people like us to teach them how to teach the kids.

    What do "gal" boots look like? Maybe do a flip of that boot and insert it in your pattern where the hat is. Up a bit higher there should be room. But I have no idea what a "gal" boot looks like.
  17. OCtoolguy
    Sounds like your upper arm may have moved up and it's now too wide at the blade mounting area. If I'm not mistaken they are like the Pegas/Excalibur design. That upper arm has to be parallel to the table so that the blade opening remains the same.

    Thanks for the link. The more resources we have the better. Whenever something like this comes up, add it to the "Resource" link above.

    Thanks Dan. I'll file those sources away for next time. I remember asking here on the Village but nobody offered anything. Living where I do in a mobile home park I try not to use my planer any more than necessary but I might have to rethink that a bit. Most of my neighbors can't hear anyway lol.

    I'm curious where you found sapele Dan. When I needed it I couldn't find it anywhere so I ended up using mahogany. I needed it in 3/4" x 6" x 18".

    I am not a "leader" but I sure would have loved to have been one of your helpers that night. I always wished I would have had a grandchild to teach what I know but it was not to be. Keep up the great job you are doing. We need to nurture the future craftspeople or nothing will ever get fixed.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Nice!

    Find a good thrift store and donate your stuu. Let gem decide what will sell. Making decisions is the hard part. Let them do it.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Jim. Good info. I don't have that problem on either of my saws but I am going to look at the motor alignment just to be sure they are both sitting correctly.
  25. OCtoolguy
    I tried every way I could to figure out what that meant. Typo? What?
