  14. I have been using Loctite spray adhesive and I am having a problem getting my patterns off after they have set for a couple day. My first project seemed like it was hard to keep the pattern from coming off while I was sawing. The last couple I have used more glue and have had a problem getting them off. Doesn't seem like acetone or thinner does much good to aid in removal or clean up of my project. Any help is appreciated. dave
  15. I bought a Porter Cable Scroll saw from Lowe's about a month ago. I was really disappointed in it. Maybe I expected too much from a low end saw. To me there is no excuse for a bad design when a couple of dollars can fix it. Maybe I get frustrated to easy..... Anyway, after speaking with Porter Cable Customer Service I decided to return it and get my money back. The plate that came with the saw that surrounded the blade sat too low. It was a challenge to tighten the bottom wing nut on the blade clamp. I think I ruined as many blades as I got put in. I made a plate and a wrench for the wing nut that I have no use for and I would be happy to share with anyone that might want them. I have become totally obsessed with scrolling and pattern making in a short time.....now I have the challenge of deciding on a new saw. dave
  16. Looks great! Thanks for sharing. dave
