    Larry A. Blakely commented on Travis's scroll saw review in Scroll Saw Reviews

    I've had this saw for about a month. Generally satisfied with its performance. Not satisfied with the top blade holder that required the Allen wrench so I removed the Allen bolt and found I could use a bolt with a knob that I had laying around the shop. Now undoing the top holder to move the blade to a new hole is a snap. The only problem is that the upper arm is mounted inside a plastic housing that holds the blade guard and blower assembly. Within a few days there were stress fractures in the plastic. This doesn't affect the performance of the saw although it does cause the housing to vibrate so I removed the blade guard which I prefer not to use anyway.

     Lost my wife to  cancer last September. Haven’t got around to doing any projects since then except for two name plaques. Guess it’s time to start again.

    It's been awhile since I did a project with Inkscape and I've forgotten all the steps to put text on top of another text. I know there used to be a tutorial about this but I cannot find it.

    Decided to try tilting the table to make a sign for my son. Instead of raised letters I recessed them as it seemed appropriate for the name.

    You can expect a long "honey-do" list after this! Nice work.

    A big howdy from your neighbor in Independence! Welcome to the forum. Been here about a year now and learned a lot from these guys-n-gals. Be sure to share some pics of your work so we can heap praise on you. Larry
