    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.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks for the reminder Travis!

    My only concern is you are locking yourself into one nich. If you are sure you will not be cutting any other type of scroll work, than go for it.

    Seeing that it also includes Seafood, how about the Sea Life Puzzle found in the Summer, 2011 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & crafts. I haven't cut any this year so far, but I usually sell two or three a year.

    Good idea on the shelving! A couple of things that might help. First, set your tables at the back of your space. This invites the customer to come into your space rather than hanging out outside. It will also give you more space if you needed it. Second, the tables need covers like the guy next to you. It give your space a more finished look, and a place to hide your boxes and stuff.

    Defiantly a score for you!

    Most shows that require liability insurance offer a one day policy for a small fee. Call the promoter to see if they offer it.

    Very nice work Marg!

    Great work Dave!

    The problem is the first link is cracked. An easy repair is to heat the first link with a heat gun or hair dryer. It will soften the the plastic. Or just pull off the hose from the metal conector. Use the heating devise to heat the second link and pull off the cracked link. Use a pair of plyers or needle nose for this. You don't want to melt the plastic, just soften it. Once the first link is removed, heat the second link one more time and it should pop right into the metal conector. Let it cool, then you are good to go!
