    Amazing work Jeff!

    Sanding the ends of the blade is one of the first things I teach my students. Sanding removes the oils on the blade and prolongs the life of the thumb screw tip. In addition to sanding the blades, to keep the the tip of the thumb screw clean, I dress it with a simple jig and sand paper.

    Personally, I am not a fan of pine for my projects. I do use pine when I'm teaching new students because it’s cheap and easy to cut, but for my projects I always use Hardwoods. I do use Baltic birch plywood for portrait type projects. Pine is too soft especially for puzzles.

    Very nice Tammi. Are you going to apply a finish?

    Well let me know so I can straighten up the shop. I don’t mean clean the shop, that will never happen! if you do decide to come up, make a list of things you would like to work on or questions you you might have.

    Well Ray, I suppose we could set up a shop date at my shop if you want to drive up to Ventura County. Moorpark is between Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. I’m guessing about 1 1/2 hours drive time.

    Can’t help you with sizing Ray but your project is looking good. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

    You are right eagle eyes! Looking further, there does not appear to be a thumb screw on the upper clamp, but the arms look like EX and DeWalt arms so the clamps could be replaced.

    Well, considering the motor is the same color as the compressor, and the compressor pulley is lined up with the motor, it’s still a tough call. Regardless, I still would pass on it.

    Yup, that’s the way it used to be in the olden days!

    Man Ray, you’re just like my wife, contradicting everything I say!!!

    Bill, look closer. That motor is mounted to the compressor behind the saw.

    Hey Dan, that is one of the original Excalibur saws made by Summerville Designs in Canada. It was a great saw in its time, but parts are no longer available.you would have to see it in person to see how it works. It will be over twenty years old!

    There was no online help when I started scrolling. In fact I didn’t have internet. Since then I have belonged to 4 scroll saw sites. I call this one home! Thanks Travis!
