    Les, I just typed theartfactory (I’m using an IPad) in search and it came right up. Perhaps your anti virus is blocking it.

    For the most part, the nozzle doesn’t clog up. The adhesive builds up at the nozzle opening. I simply wipe off the nozzle with my thumb after every use. I used to soak them in mineral spirits but I don’t need to anymore now that I routinely wipe it off.

    You mean they allow Whiskey in the O.C.?

    Another thing you can do to dampen vibration is build a shelf on the stand and place a bag or two of sand.

    Don’t know about Coke but, mineral spirits should do the trick.

    Ray, you can find the Minwax spray Lacquer at Lowe’s, or at least in Ventura Co. as far as the toner, I did a Google search and found many online sources. I used to buy the Deft spray lacquer by the box of six online at Hardware World.com. As for me, I would rather use a hardwood rather than stain plywood. That’s just me.

    The Pegas blade holders should last the life of the saw. The thumb screws will need servicing periodically as was mentioned above. The ends of the thumb screw will wear and get shiny and slippery causing the blade to slip. Here’s what I do: I take a small piece of hardwood approximately 3/8 x 2”x2”. Drill a hole just slightly smaller than the threads of the thumb screw. The hole has to be absolutely perpendicular to the wood. Screw the thumb screw so the tip just protrudes through the wood. Now, sand on a flat piece of 220 grit sand paper till the tip is no longer shiny and flat. This procedure applies to all saws with a thumb screw. I’ve had my Pegas saw for about six months now and haven’t needed to dress them yet, but I know they will need it at some point.

    I think the most important aspect of cutting with a 2/0 blade is tension. The blade needs to be tight, tight, tight. Most blades will not break at the proper tension. When you pluck the blade, it should have a high “ plink” or “ping” sound. The higher, the better. For me, the only 2/0 blades that track on the line properly are Olson reverse and skip tooth blades. All other 2/0 blades including Flying Dutchman an Pegas just don’t track well.

    Two Questions: what brand 2/0 ST blade are you using and what saw are you using?
  24. dgman
    Your well on your way Les, looks good so far!
