I agree with Dave. It would look better without the mounting holes being visible. A saw tooth or "D" ring hanger will work if attached on the bottom portion.

Having spent 30+ years in the IT world I have found that the use of a mouse pad, even with a optical mouse, is easier then on the surface of a desk or table.

I saw that A.C. Moore is closing all stores. Sad that so many will be losing jobs especially this time of year. For those with an A.C. Moore in the area it might be a good time to pick up glue, ribbons, brushes. paint, picture frames, etc https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nicole-crafts-to-divest-out-of-retail-operations-300964565.html

Sounds like you would be better served with putting the Pegas clamps on your King. As others said there is a real danger of damaging your saw clamps with using tools and gadgets like that to tighten them.

I used to do 2 shows in November. Both big shows with GREAT sales. I backed off to only one this year. This is a hobby for me. Sure it is nice to have a few extra $$$ to buy more wood, tools and other such toys but stressing over orders and restocking quickly took the fun out of it.
-
Yes. There was a thread about this back in early November.

If you are only planning to do a simple round over or an occasional chamfer almost any router with a 1/4" chuck will work. If you are trying to make fancy frames and cut daddos you will need a router which can handle a 1 /2" bit.

Seyco Drill Any One Use One? Have One?
NC Scroller replied to rustynail's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Of you already have a dremel or other similar rotary tool get the dremel plunge router base. It will give you the same ability. The cost is under $30. -
Found the engraver pictured on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/engraving-machine-Engraver-engraver-7-5X7-5CM/dp/B07G6VBTKL/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=laser+engraver&qid=1574166193&sr=8-3

I have found that while the process above works well to do the repair the "spot" will not take a finish like the surrounding area as the glue does not absorb like raw wood. Just wanted you to be aware.

Another 3M77 addict. I have tries many way and it is cheapest and best. I have use a Xyron Machine for intarsia. Great for that but would be expensive to do all your work with one.https://www.amazon.com/Xyron-Creative-Invitations-Handmade-624632/dp/B00X3EZ5VO/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=xyron&qid=1573993316&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMEZDRTJNUlFBOUlGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjIwNTM2Mzg1QjhaWUoyN0hTSiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTc3Njg1MzVMSTlXU1BJVEs2OSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=.

I just learned something regarding blade tension!
NC Scroller replied to OCtoolguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I am of the school that the blade did not stretch. If the blade did stretch you are talking a micron or less. A micron is .00003937007874015748". Too small to detect with the human eye and too small to affect the tension. Easy to prove. Take the used blade and compare to a new unused one. I am thinking there was a slippage in the clamp or there is too much play in the bearing where the clamps (top or bottom or both) attaches to the arms. -
Charles is an amazing designer and a very nice guy to deal with. Another plus one to what Jim said. I would spray with a satin or semi gloss lacquer or poly. To me glossy makes it look like plastic. I know this would require a lot of work but it would really be amazing if the backer was blue for the water and black or brown for the horse.

Top feeder 75% on my EX and Dewalt. I also have a Hegner which is a bottom feeder which accounts for most of the 25%. I am produ to be a top feeder. Yes there is a learning curve. You need to develop a feel. I started top feeding when I worked on a couple pictures that were 14 x 20.

Happy birthday and Congrats….Nothing wrong with a few lite scratches. Scratches are wear marks. A lite coat of paste wax will help to protect especially in damp conditions. Normally a tool without scratches is a toll that is not used.
-
Congrats.....

Yes you can get glare. If you have moveable lights play around with their location. It should focus on the blade and points further back.
-
As Brenda said you can remove it in one piece BUT you have to soak the pattern very well, not juts a lite dampening and let it sit a couple minutes. Just dampen and pull. Once removed you will have to take a 3second paper towel or rag wet with mineral spirits to remove any residue. A light wiping is normally all that is required.

I just did a church show on Saturday. It was very well advertised and long running event . There was also a lot of other activities in the area. Organizers said they had between 1,200 and 1,500 attend. I can believe it. I did very very very well. 45% of my sales were credit card sales. I have been using a Square for 6 or 7 years now. Every year the amount of sale via a credit card grows. It is the way many people shop now.

Welcome to the Village. Pegas and Seyco are both great choices. In my personal opinion I do not think the Jet is a good choice. With the Jet you have to bottom feed and for bigger fret work and pictures it is a real pain.
-
Yup that is the one. Only way it worked was when I set the thermostat at 80 or above.

Wax WILL EFFECT many finishes. IT WILL EFFECT any glue up you happen to do.

I just saw on the other scroll saw forum that Sloan's Woodshop will be closing their doors permanently at the end of the year. I believe Rhonda, the wife, has had some serious health issues over the years but I do not know if this is the reason. Nothing is yet posted on their website. So if you normally buy wood or blades from Sloan's act quickly. Here is the post on the other forum: https://forum.scrollsawer.com/forum/scroll-saw/wood-and-materials/865185-sloan-s-woodshop-is-retiring-next-month

I cut red and white oak all the time. White oak is much harder then red oak. You will find Pegas Modified Geometry a more aggressive blade and better suited for 3/4" white oak. Like Ike said I would not go smaller then a #5.
