    Bored is more like it. With the extreme temperatures outside, it is something to do.

    Congrats on the final outcome. Great cutting. I have a friend whose mantra is "how hard can it be?"

    I had a nice, puttering day in the shop today. Worked on the glue up of my first multi-wood intarsia piece. I have reduced the pattern for this. Pattern designer is Janette Square. Used Poplar, Rainbow Poplar, Sapelle, Maple for the plant. Searched for wood to make a frame. Have that cut and glued. While all that was going on, did a fun little project. Thank you Steve Good! Frog is cut from Poplar and glued to a pine cookie left from a Christmas tree a number of years ago. Still needs the finish. Then I started another project. The wood is Cherry. Pattern by H Botas. What you are seeing is the back of it. Using #1 spiral blades. Thought of you @FrankEV while I was cutting. Turned the speed down on the saw and tried to keep a light touch.

    I did this one a few years back. First attempt with spiral blades. I do one that was free from a colouring book page.

    Charley, I am not looking to replace. Just trying to figure out what it was for and how it is used.

    WOW! Now I know why my notifications bell was lit up! I knew the magazine was out but I won't get it for a few weeks yet. Thanks all for the kind words.

    Those are lovely. Sorry for the losses.

    @don in brooklin on is in the general vicinity.
  14. barb.j.enders
    That makes sense. Thanks

    I haven't done much with it. Once I get the workroom back in "working" condition, I will play around with it.

    It does have a parts diagram. This part isn't listed!!!

    In another thread, I asked about a nylon set screw on my Excelsior saw. There were a few comments but no real answers. I emailed King, the manufacturer on Jan 4th. I asked them "What does the nylon set screw do? Sent a picture of the clamps with the set screw circled. I received a response today! "i asked my techs here and they dont know either. we dont get many scroll saws for repair" There are a couple of things in this response that bother me. First; the length of time to respond. Maybe I am unrealistic, but I would have expected a response, automated or not, within 1-2 business days. Second; lack of capitals, punctuation and signature. I replied back to them saying that it was an unfulfilling response and as the developer & manufacturer there should be someone who should know what that part is for. I guess we will see what their response is. Just in case anyone didn't see the original, here is a picture of the part I am trying to get information about.

    I purchased this just before Christmas. https://www.vevor.ca/flex-shaft-c_11126/vevor-hanging-flexshaft-mill-jewelry-tools-foot-switch-6-5mm-780w-no-leakage110v-p_010553045782. I haven't had a chance to set it up yet. For Christmas I received this. https://store.workshopsupply.com/catalogue/flex-drum-sander-kit-p-4539.html. I had to purchase the bench grinder. I am now building a flip top cart to attach the bench grinder on one side and the belt sander on the other. (you can see the build in Other Woodworks forum) I will probably add a post to mount the flexshaft tool from on the side of the cart.

    Such a beautiful heirloom. Great picture with Grandpa!

    These are two of my favorites. The floppy wood guy mostly for the reaction it got from people. Made people happy. The robin because the pattern came out in the spring and I was very happy with how it turned out. 20230629_151731.mp4

    Those are great. I would put the mineral oil/beeswax finish on them. If you don't make your own, there are lots of options out there. I have Walrus Oil. Makes a nice finish.
  22. barb.j.enders
    Perfect
  23. barb.j.enders
    Thanks for your write up and pictures. I will be redoing my dust collection system over the next couple of weeks as I get some other tools set up so it is great info.

    Merry Christmas & Happy New year to my sawdust family!
