If you look close you will see a dowel rod with an open hook in the end. This works well for me.

Well I went out to the shop s couple of weeks ago and fired up the 25 year old Delta saw. It went ooooooh and refused to move. So I figured that was a good reason to buy a new saw. I really think a good clean and lube will fix the Delta but always good to have a backup right. Here are my thoughts on the Bauer saw. 1 it's heavy. 2 it seems solid. 3 straight out of the box I sat it on top of an old sewing machine cabinet. I adjusted the table about 0.5 degrees to get square. The top arm was .002 inches closer to the table at the back than front. Figured that was close enough for government work. With the saw just sitting on the cabinet not bolted ,clamped or attached in any way it seems very smooth. Don't think it would papp the nickel test but after attaching it to something solid I have no doubt that it will. Decided to try it out. Cut a few of the Diana Thompson bird houses. After a lot of foul language and threat's of return I realized I had the blade upside down. I cut 2 poplar, 1 Cedar and 1 from the Spectra plywood stopper blanks. I am very satisfied with the performance of the saw Not sure how the longevity will be but I bought the 2 year warranty. The way that works use it 2 years take it back renew the warranty and you get a new machine every 2 years for less than $50.00. Bird houses are straight off the saw. No sanding or anything.All were cut with a #7 skip tooth Denny special blade.

Haven't been around much lately. Just wanted to drop in and say HI. I retired 3 years ago for the first time thinking I had it made. I have returned to work 3 times in that time period. A few health setbacks and inheritance of 4 of our grandchildren has really consumed most of my time for the last year. Hope to spend more time at the saw and in the village soon. Thanks for reading.

Congratulations but don't bet on retirement. I have retired 3 times in the last three years. In my profession there is such a shortage of licensed people I have gone back to work each time . I have made a commitment this time to train 2 new people if my health holds out. That is a 2 year project. What ever you do enjoy it.

Four more Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments
kywoodmaster replied to Denny Knappen's topic in Bragging Rights
I just ordered 2 boxes of them. I have orders that I am to make each child and grand child a set of them for Christmas next year -
I had an engineering firm next to where I worked. I would take the pull outs from the Magazine to them and they would copy them for me. That way I have copies to cut up to scan in and also have the originals. They will also do this at a vocational school that has a drafting class.

Dave Are they split to a flat back that attaches to the board or left complete?

My son is in Crosville TN and was showing me some saws on market place around his area. I know this would be a little far for you bet there were a couple of looks like new Wen for less that $100.00. My point is there are good starter saws out there for reasonable money. Don't rush.

Cordless Tools Brushless Or Brushed?
kywoodmaster replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I I ordered those last fall. The 4ah from home Depot seem to last as long as these do. Not saying their crap but something don't seem right with them. -
Good to see you back. Hope you are feeling better.
