Another winner Paul, love that wood! Paul, if you drill an 1/8" hole centered on the line at the bottom of the bird, before you cut, it will give you a notch for the bird to sit on the Perch. This makes gluing the bird easier.

I have the worst hand writing in the world, so nothing gets my signature. I have a branding iron that says " Handcrafted by Dan Gallo". If the project is to small for the brand, like ornaments and the mini birdhouses, they go out in the world naked.

Great to hear Mimi! Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your completed projects!

That's a little spooky Todd, nice work!
-
Some more nice work!
-
Nice work Ralph, it is very cute!
-
Great work Rick!

That's an amazing feat John, you should be proud!!!

Nice work Paul! I'm glad you've taken the plung into scroll saw mini birdhouses! I agree with the hole size. I have been drilling then at 3/8" for a couple of years now. I usually use bright colored woods for the birds like Yellowheart, Redheart and purpleheart. Like you, I have turned mini birdhouses too. I still have a small display set up. Maybe I'll get a picture and post them.

Looks good Dick!

They are on her site. You have to go looking for them.

Another nice one Denny!

Great job Rob! You did an excellent job on the pattern too! It looks just like a GT Mustang. Have you ever seen one in person? You still see them on the road around here!

Cute!
-
Amazing cutting!
-
Those look great Denny! The one with the bug holes look like it was done by a miniature woodpecker!

Great work Kris!

Very well done!

I have two. Both 4x6, or something like that, one is 120 grit and the other is 220 grit. I use them on most of my scroll saw projects. They are great for sanding contours, and especially great for easing edges on stand up puzzles. You do have to be careful though, you can easily launch a piece across the room if you don't have a good grip on it!

Welcome to the Village Debi! Nothing worse than trying to work with an inadequate tool. Your hubby did the right thing by taking it back. The General Excalibur EX 16 is a superior saw and it should serve you well! Make sure you post pictures of your completed projects, so come on in and join the fun!!

Nice looking project Tony! I've been top feeding since I got my first DeWalt saw almost twenty years ago, and would never go back! To make it easier on the EX, you can loosen up the top arm so it does not stay up, and let gravity lower the arm to feed the blade through the fret hole.

Fairly new Dewalt 788 broken switch?
dgman replied to Kris Martinson's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Hey Kris, yes it is a common problem with the DeWalt. The cause is one of two things. One, dust build up on the contacts inside the switch or the contacts are pitted. Either way, it is repairable without having to order a new one if you are handy and have the correct hand tools. But first try blowing compressed air into and around the switch. If that doesn't work, tap the side of the control housing with a block of wood.if that does not work, you will have to service the switch. I'll write a discripstion of how to do it if you need it. Let me know. -
Nice one!

I make my own frames too. I like a more organic look, so I don't mat or install glass.

Understand that saw is at least 15 years old. $350 is way to much. If it runs good without any vibration, banging or strange noises, I'd offer $200 with the stand, dump the light.
