  1. I am not looking for another saw, but I do keep and eye on FB marketplace. Just did a quick survey buy entering "scroll saw" in my area SE Wisconsin. I found 17 Hawks/RBI, seven Hegners and Only 2 Excaliburs. Got me thinking that is a lot of Hawks. Did they really sell that many? Are people giving up on them? I don't have a clue how many were sold by each manufacturer, But I would have expected that more Excalibur we sold, then Hegner, and and then Hawk. Or is this just a mid-west thing. Thoughts?

  3. I think you have to add your birthday in your personal profile.
  4. Great service from https://www.ocoochhardwoods.com/ , I ordered on Monday, they shipped on Tuesday, and it was just delivered. Another plus for me, is that I live close enough that they ship with a regional shipping company, that is about 1/2 the cost of UPS.
  5. I just grabbed some craft paint (acrylic)that was sitting around, put some in a cup and mixed in some water. The poplar was green already, but I was trying to delay how green poplar turns brown.
  6. I don't have Google Analytics set up, its been on my to-do list for a long, long time. Any suggestions on where to start?
  7. Actually the beak is Yellowheart, The Butternut is most of the body, and the mahogany is most of the "water." If/when I make another one, I will probably change some things, maybe Cherry for the body and something else for the water.
  8. Made this for a friend who is a duck hunter. I used Butternut, Mahogany, Walnut and Aspen. The head is Poplar with a green paint wash.
  9. That does look like a 22". Quick clamps and upfront tension release, that a huge plus.
  10. https://quadcities.craigslist.org/tls/d/donahue-pegas-scroll-saw/7711487140.html To far for me to drive. Good deal for someone.
  11. I can't find a way to "join" that one to be able to post there. It lide of looks like it the official Goinamgine site.
  12. https://www.pinterest.com/HoneybeeAlley/goimagine-handmade/
  13. I am pinning on the Gi Pinterest page and posting on the Gi Sellers FB page whenever I remember.
  14. Another sale on Goimagine. That makes two. Both buyers are other shop owners on Gi, but a sale is a sale!
  15. Why wait - because the youngest is still in high school. Besides I remember cleaning out my parents place when they passed, and I would not want to deny them the same fun (sarcasm)
