    These were all taken at Mueller State Park here in Colorado. I am planning on going back there again this Saturday to do some more snowshoeing and taking some more pictures for jigsaw puzzles. Thanks Jim

    I went snowshoeing this past weekend and took a few pictures. I'm thinking about making these 4 into jigsaw puzzles. What do you all think? Thanks Jim

    Congrats Merlin, looks like it will be a nice addition to your shop. Jim

    I sit on a stool at both the DeWalt and the Harbor Freight. I need to look for a taller stool though, because the saws are about chest level and I would rather have them about belly button level. Jim

    Thanks Larry, I wasn't sure if my first pattern should be posted in "New Patterns" or not since I am still working and fixing a lot of things. Jim

    Thanks Jerry, I will keep an eye open for your new pattern post. No problem with frustrations for me. I looked at it and it looked like something could be better just can't figure it out. To me the pattern looks very busy...which isn't good to a photographer. Jim

    I have started working on a scroll saw pattern for a friends last name and her kids first names. Here is where I'm at now. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.I am using Inkscape and have been watching Travis' classes. Thank you Jim

    So I'm having a slow day here at work and have been pondering some things. I was wondering if maybe the forum folks to help me out on. First question: I have a friend who is wanting me to make her a plaque with her last name on it along with her 3 children's first name. I am thinking her last name in the background and then her children's names in the front. I'm not sure what that is called. I worked on it a little bit last night but didn't like the looks of the last night because it looked to masculine. I'm sure it is the font (times new roman) that I am using. Does anyone have any input on this? I don't know what wood I'm going to use and she really doesn't have a preference. Second question: How long does your blade last on your saw? I know this is a pretty vague question. I heard someone saying they normally changed their blades after about 30 minutes of cutting. I'm just wondering if this is the norm. Also how do I know it is time to replace the blade? Thanks Jim

    Hi Kevin, I do have a table mounted Ott light that I use with the HF Saw. So I will probably find a way to mount that with the Dewalt. Jim

    Well I just heard, the Barrel Races are cancelled tomorrow due to weather. So I'm thinking I will be working in the garage all day tomorrow cutting out Christmas Trees and Christmas Stars. I will post what I get done tomorrow. Jim
  14. jbrowning
    Yes I did turn it on and turned on the light. Wow the saw is so quiet compared to the HF. Also mounted one of the saw blades that came with the saw. Can't wait to make a Christmas Star or Christmas Tree. Jim

    Well, she is put together and ready for some cutting tomorrow night. And there looks like a storm is coming in tomorrow and possibly the Barrel Races will be canceled this weekend. If so, guess what is going to get a real workout. Jim

    Woohoo!!! Only spent 90 minutes putting the Dewalt Scroll Saw table together. I'm sure that is a record......somewhere . Tomorrow night put the scroll saw together and mount to the table. Ready for some serious scrolling now......well almost. Jim

    Thanks for the info everyone. I will be trying to put the saw and table together tonight and see how tall it is. I am about 6'1". Thanks Jim
  18. jbrowning
    Wow, great work. Jim

    So my DeWalt Scroll Saw just arrived and I already have the table that goes with it from DeWalt. Has anyone put the table and saw on wheels to move it around? If so which ones and how are they working out for you?
  20. jbrowning
    Woohoo, guess what just showed up on my doorstep?!?!?!?!? Can't wait to get home and put that bad boy together. Jim

    Great work Jim.

    Great work Dick, I can see why your wife likes it. Jim

    But on the front a picture will be glued to it. Would that act like a finish? Thanks Jim

    Thanks everybody, it looks like I will have to wait till Monday to play with it. It is still sitting at UPS for some reason. Oh well, I will still play with the Harbor Freight one and try some jigsaw puzzles this weekend. Thanks Jim

    I ordered the Dewalt Scroll Saw on Sunday from Amazon. The expected delivery date was Wednesday Jan 6th. I just checked and it looks like the saw is here in town today. Woohoo!!! Here's hoping UPS can deliver it to me today so I can have 3 days to put it together and play with it. Jim
