I have the King 16" and love it. Almost no vibration when you tune it, I had a ton of help from the folks here setting it up for optimal running. Blade changes are quick and easy. You won't be disappointed. Chris -
Came across this Steve Good pattern. I had to adjust the angle of the arms a bit to accommodate my saw, but it works. Looks better than the scrap block I was using. I put magnets in his feet so he would on "stand by" when not in use. Chris

Welcome from the mid Michigan area (Midland) Now that you're hooked there's no going back! Chris

Nice video.

My fix for a wandering Wen 3923 flexible light
Hawk replied to Tallbald's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thats actually a great idea, and applicable for other problems too, thanks for sharing! Chris -
Absolutely perfect.

Today, while cleaning up a bit I got to thinking about that nickle test I've read and seen on YouTube and thought..."I wonder". So I got a nickle put it on my Delta P-20 and cranked it on. After about 5 seconds the nickle fell over. Tried it several more times, and all the same result. I thought " well, kinda what I figured". Then went over to my King 16", I've had it about a year. Put the nickle on it's edge, cranked the King on, and.........there it stood, on edge, unphased by the scrollsaw running. I went thru the speed spectrum and it stayed on it's edge. I had always thought the P-20 was rock solid, practically vibration free, was I ever wrong. I know that when cutting on the King it was much easier to stay on line for me, never figured that a little vibration can make a difference. Anyhow, just a little part of my day, back to regularly scheduled programs.... Chris

Truly awesome! I wish I had half the space in my shop in my basement shop that you do. Outstanding work. Chris
-
You did an awesome job on the pattern and project. Took me a minute to find your initials, very cool the way you worked them into the pattern (right braid). Chris

I get all my Alex Fox patterns from Esty. Just search his name and you'll find his patterns. He has many patterns in many different styles to choose from.

This is another Alex Fox pattern, this cross has a bit more detail than the last celtic cross I did. Trying to add some color to them and get away from so much brown . Bottom layer is ¼" the middle and top are ⅛" I was thinking ir might be more stable for the long term. Time will tell (lol).

I agree, thanks for sharing this. This just might be the ticket for my miter in my small shop.

Thanks, I found it. It's in issue 86 of Scrollsaw Woodworks and Crafts. Somehow my copy ended up in my wife's magazine pile.(DOH). Chris

I can't remember for the life of me where I got this pattern. I know it came from one of the scroll saw magazines, but I've been through my stash and can't seem to locate it. Tried searching online but I'm not well versed in that cyber stuff. You'd think I would have been smart enough to scan it into my computer. But no, I'm not... Chris

Looks great, nice and clean. One way you can make it more interesting would to be to layer 2 or 3 different kinds of wood before you cut it out, but you're doing great! Chris

Another Alex Fox pattern. This is a Trivet this time. Instead of 3 different shades of wood/stain I went with primary colors. The biggest challenge was actually putting the pieces together and getting them in the right spot. Chris

As I get better dust control overall in my shop one of the last issue to address was my dremel. I use it quite a bit for shaping the segmentation and as I venture into intarsia, that too. In the past I would wait for a nice day, cart everything outside and sand there. While mowing the lawn last week I got to thinking on that (I do a lot of deep thinking while riding the lawn mower (lol)). In the picture is what I came up with. It's 4"PVC with the top part I got from a local woodworking shop. I put a piece of windows screen to catch the pieces that pop out of my hands and it's set at a height that allows me to sit on my stool while sanding. I've used it a few times and it seems to be doing the job as I envisioned. Chris

Very nice, and very appropriate. Where did you find the pattern, I know a few fishermen that would be a good thing for them.
-
LOL, Thanks, I'm just glad I will not be taking video of the process, that could get ugly....
-
After seeing your post, the idea hit me to keep a log for this project. Hours cutting, wood cost and such. Might be an interesting set of information..
-
Looks awesome, congrats on a job very well done!! The scalloped edges really add to the overall piece! Chris
-
That is so cool. In fact after seeing this, I'm gonna get the book. Thanks for sharing! Chris

Just want to let everyone know that I plan to officially start somewhere around the end of November. I will be posting in the "Works in Progress" thread when I do. Between now and then I have a couple of small projects to finish up, then gather the wood for the Ferris Wheel Until then I will be going thru the building and cutting process in my head. This helps me to get a game plan together for when I actually do start. Looks like I will be able to stack the main wheels and a couple of fence parts. The main wheels being stacked will save a ton of time!. Chris

Just had to post this. I sat down today with the plans to generate a parts list for all the little stuff, like motor screws,pegs and such. I searched everywhere but no accessories kit for this anywhere. So as I sat down with the plans a little voice went off in my head to check the back of the file cabinet where I keep my plans. Apparently when I purchased the plans I was smart enough to get the accessories kit too. There it was in the back of the file still sealed firm the post office when it was delivered. Surprised the crap outa me, didn't think I was that smart (lol). So if ever there was a sign, this is it. Its Ferris Wheel time...... Chris

Got enough copies made, over the next few days I'll get together a materials list then get wood ordered. I'll post pictures along the way, this will take me probably most of the winter as I only get a few hours a week on my shop. I'm really looking forward to the challenge. Chris
