Very nice work!

Cool!

I use a FD Polar # 5. I usually cut them out of Mahogany. Definitely not as hard as Cherry, so a #7 for the Cherry is what I would use. For pins, I use 7/8” thick wood or there about. I center the front view pattern on the thin face of the blank and the profile view of the pattern on the wide side. When you cut the reindeer out, you will be left with two blanks for the pins. Using a disk sander, sand off the contours to flatten them. Then glue on a pin back and spray on a finish. Noe you have three products for the price of one!

Great work Thomas, and a wonderful sentiment!

Great looking work Denny!

Great work Jay! I love cutting those reindeer. I make pins out of the outside scrap pieces. I give them away to customers and anyone interested in my work at shows.

And just to clear up one other item that was mentioned. The EX saws are not a clone of the DEWALT saw. It’s just the opposite. The original DeWALT saw was designed by Summerfield Desgns. They were the creator of the original Excalibur saw. DeWALT had them design and build the DeWALT DW788. That was the type 1 and modeled after the original Excalibur saw. That’s why some parts are interchangeable.

Great looking work Ralph!

Beautiful work!

Hey Bill, have you tried contacting the distributor? They should be able to tell you where the fuse is. Also, I noticed in the parts diagram that the cord set is removable. That’s one more thing to check before you have to dissect the saw. Good luck!

They look nice Les! A spindle sander is nice, I do have one but you can get by with an inexpensive set of spindle sanders from Harbor freight. Of course you need a drill press!

You have to seal both ends with latex paint and let them dry before you cut them to desired thickness. If you don’t seal the ends, they will crack and split as they dry. If you live near a wood working store you can buy a product that is designed for that purpose. Turners use it for drying green wood. If you don’t seal the ends, the wood WILL crack! It might be less work if you buy them all ready prepared from Amazon.

Hey William, I don’t know if I can help anymore with your saw, but I just wanted to say it’s good to hear from you again. I know you used to be active on other forums and you just faded away. I hope you can sort your saw problems out and visit us more often. For SSV members, William is a very accomplished scroller and turner that a lot of us looked up to for a long time!

Welcome to the Village William! The first thing to check is to see if your electric circuit is live. Plug in something that you know works. If it is live, then check to see if the fuse is blown. Good luck!

Way to go Joe!

Nice work Kevin!
-
Your work never needs critique Dan, it looks great!
-
It looks great Les! I use a 12” drill press for accurate drilling. It is a bench top Delta. With a 12” throat, it gives me 24” of drilling. I’ve had it for about 20 years and have never had a need for anything else.

Congratulations! It’s a great feeling isn’t it? Nice work and continued sales.
