  1. I'd buy your Duramax.
  2. I feel your pain Brother!
  3. Is it a Chinese Excalibur? If yes, that's the problem. If not, call Ray at Seyco.
  4. Me thinks you are "over-thinking" the issue. I just tension til it feels right. Pluck the blade and it's either "plunk" or "pling".
  5. I posted about this video a while back when we were discussing marquetry. Even though it's all in Spanish, I comprehend just enough to understand a good share of it. I found it very informative.
  6. Just keep on "kickin' like a chikin'"
  7. Nothing political here Paul. I was just explaining myself to Brenda and saying that I go along with the rules and regs. No politics.
  8. Kevin, I have no idea how often you get a load like that but have you thought of going into the scroll saw wood business? It might prove to be profitable. You're getting the wood for free so it's just the milling. The rest is profit.
  9. Not the same thing. I vent to let folks know how I feel. If I offend somebody along the way, well, that's life. Not here though. I've learned my lesson for broaching any touchy subject matter here. And I agree, this is not the place for it. I truthfully never read all the rules and regs. I just said I'd abide by them. Fine print is not my forte. Anyway, this subject has not become boring so I'll get on with making some form or air pollution.
  10. I envy you on many counts. The wood. The truck. The space you have. The wife who allows you to have all of the above. Congrats on your windfall.
  11. Obviously you don't have a need to vent. I use FB as my escape valve. That's why I have 4 accounts and I.D.'s They keep putting me in their form of jail so I keep creating new accounts. If I couldn't release from time to time, I'd blow my top.
  12. It sounds like you made Tim's day. He will enjoy that saw for a long time to come. If I could have kept mine, I sure would have but it just took up too much space.
  13. That's why God invented the PM section. Les and I used to have some great conversations there. I sure miss him.
  14. Travis, as always, you are right. It's good that you are in charge and keep people like me in line. Thank you.
  15. I agree Paul. I think the Pegas blades may be a bit harder and may snap a bit quicker than other brands.
  16. Just making a list of everything Les had will be a daunting task. Faye really needs a nearby scroller to help out. I'm 1200 miles away or I would try to help. Les had many hobbies over his lifetime and accumulated a ton of stuff.
  17. I can't add anything to what has already been said. Thank you Sheryl. Prayers and condolences to you and your family. May Benny rest in peace.
  18. Yes. Thanks Wick.
  19. I have had a couple break at about the place. I'm using my Ex 21 and cutting some intricate fretwork in 2 1/4" thickness hickory using #3 mgt. Making a lot of sharp turns and I think they just get tired of the twisting and break.
  20. Wow, almost enough for me to want to live where you live. Except that just after that show, that dreaded white stuff starts to fall out of the sky. No thanks.
  21. Well, it does say "anything except scroll saw stuff" or something to that effect. No other rules that I could see. I can understand that this is a hot button topic though.
  22. Travis, you may want to change the description of what the "Coffee House" forum is all about. Or add some more to it.
  23. I always forget the menus above.
  24. I sure wish I had seen it.
  25. I'm not sure where you are located but here on the West coast, I buy from Cherokee Wood Products. They have a guy, Chris, who is in charge of their online scroll saw buyers. There is a special area on their website that has all of the woods that they sell and how much for each. They sell it by the foot and will plane it to the thickness that most of us use. Very reasonable. Otherwise, most everybody either uses eBay, Amazon or Ocooch Woods.
