Thank you, I will definitely check out this.

I thank everyone for their advice and support. For a month now I have a new saw. I am very pleased with the purchase. Trifle, I can not use the guarantee, because sending back and forth will be more expensive than a new saw. This is nonsense, I was ready for this. Afflicts only one thing - the manufacturer does not want to communicate with customers from Russia. I can not register on the Deltamachinery site, they also ignore emails and messages on Facebook. I guess they're afraid that I'm a terrible hacker and I want to steal their secrets or use their goods to make weapons for terrorists. I do not care, it's on their conscience. The main thing is that there are businessmen who are ready to sell me the right product and there is this wonderful forum! I'm also pleased that I chose Delta, not DeWalt. With many identical parts, the delta has several additional advantages: * lower price * box for blades * Presence of a clamp of lifting of the upper arm * Colour. I do not like yellow, distracting from work. The black-gray Delta palette is setting up for work. Disadvantages: * poor-quality table cover: - there are black spots, - the varnish is easily scratched, - the varnish is not continuous. A few drops of water fell on the table, which I did not immediately notice. Under them, dark spots of rust appeared. * Increased noise at medium speeds - knocking inside the case near the engine. I suspect not twisted nuts or lack of lubrication in bearings. Until I opened it, I'll have to look. As I wrote above, the manufacturer keeps silent.

Thanks for the tips. Yesterday I ordered Delta, now I just have to wait. It did not last long, only a month - to cross the ocean and cross the customs office;)

Thanks! I hope to surprise again and again.

Wow! It's done great! Dave, can I ask you to take pictures of the intermediate stages of the incrustation next time, if possible?

Thanks for the feedback! The front side is Fujiffilm photo paper without an additional coating. The reverse side I grind by the tape grinder Makita. The figures are tinted with water stains.

Dave, that's great!

Wonderful chest! But it's better to look at such beauty in a large photograph. It would be interesting to see the details.

Very nice! Beautiful calligraphy and careful neat cutting are created an impressive masterpiece!

Hallo! I wonder, do you know Masha and the Bear? Be sure to meet you! Moreover, these cartoons are in English and 34 other languages. Many cartoon series are freely available. In Russian, all parts of the cartoon are free. One of my favorites - №27 - "Oil painting". I used a poster, pasted on 1/4 birch plywood. The figurals of the puzzle are made in the form of cartoon characters. Size 12 * 7 "(30 * 17.5cm) 92 pieces, 11 figurals Smile with Masha! English video - 30 parts, but no free "Oil painting" Russian video - "Oil painting". I think it will be fun even without translation.

Thanks Jerry, this is a very valuable piece of advice. I lubricate my saw in 50 hours, but completely disassembled only 2 times. I used oil for sewing machines usually. The last time I decided to make out completely. I carefully removed the old oil, very thick and hard as paraffin. I did not see any significant signs of wear on the axes and holes, but when measuring the dimensions I found gaps to 0.01-0.015". The new thick oil is much softer than the original and resembles a cream or petrolatum. Unfortunately, after that, the noise and vibration increased significantly. There is idea to replace simple bushings to ball bearings. But then I decided not to change it yet, but to buy another saw. Hallo Dave! My saw has an age of 5 years and about 1000-1200 hours. On average, I work 2 hours a day on weekdays, 6-8 - on weekends. I had the idea to change my Chinese appeared long ago, but I always put it off for later. Really already in a year of work even the devil has wear? I am glad that you were able to change it under warranty. At us deterioration as a rule it not a guarantee case for electrotools.

Rolf, The new Hegner, Hawk or Excalibur is too expensive for me. It's a dream, far and not fast. I can buy this brand second-hand only. hotshot, unfortunately, this is in America and Europe only. In Russia there is only new Hegner and Jet or the Chinese for $ 150. Therefore, the presence of a service for me does not matter. There is no such thing. We will have to buy spare parts through the Internet and repair ourselves. From this point of view, Hegner and Hawk are preferred with their reliable asynchronous motors, which can easily be replaced by similar ones at 220V. Other models in the event of a breakdown will require original engines. tuner. That is, these models are equivalent to the user. Scrappile As for the size of the table, I was referring to its depth. My Jet has a size of 16 ", which is often not enough for me." I can not imagine how to work on a 14 "saw. My love in scrolling is puzzles. The billet is large enough and sometimes the customers are forced to jump over the head (that is, overcome the limitations). Therefore, I would like a larger size. I am very grateful to everyone for the answers. I'll think about it until Monday, then I'll make a choice. Of course, it is convenient to have different tools, large and small. But For now I'm looking for one universal. Used have an attractive price, but its condition can be estimated only with the words of the seller and photos. This is a lottery. I sit and think - play or not ...

Instead of my old Jet JSS16, I want to buy a new saw. I choose in the price range of $300-600. In this price I can buy: Delta 40-694 - $ 420 new, 300 - used. The price to be attractive, but few reviews. Is this reliable as a DeWalt? DeWalt - 530 - new, 400 uzed HEGNER Multicut 1 - used. The disadvantage is the smaller size of the table 14. Hegner Multimax-18 - 450 $ RBI HAWK Scroll Saw Model 214 - 180$ old, it is not clear his condition. What should I choose? Can I trust the quality of Delta?

Very cute landscape! Your mastery of possession of a pyrograph is amazing!

A few years ago I threw my vinyl disc collection when moving to a new apartment. Now I regret that I could use its in a similar way. Your clock is so inspiring!

Thank you, it's so nice to hear. I want to thank the American scrollers again, because I'm learning from you. The tops of the skill of many of you are high, that I still have much to learn. I again want to especially mention to John Stokes. His masterpieces are hard to beat:

This is the name of the calendar with watercolors of the Russian artist Victoria Kirdiy. I used 4 sheets of 12 for my puzzle. Size of ready puzzle is 25*19, but my scrollsaw is 16 only. Because I made it from 2 separate parts. For good fits I cut its together. It was very easy and fun - to come up with plots for the details of the puzzle. I removed the remains of the paper (the pattern and the image edge) from parts of the frame with the aid of solvent gasoline (white spirit). This easily spreads the spray glue 77, then I polished it a bit with sandpaper. Number of parts on quarters: The kitten - 170 Watermelon - 176 Boats - 129 Chatting girl-friends - 168 and the frame - 141 Totaly 832 parts

Excellent frame! And the main thing. Dave, you and your wife are very nice people, if you are together for so many years and are creating such gifts still! It is worthy of respect.

It is a great pleasure to see such a beauty!

Dan, I'll be glad to communicate with colleagues to create puzzles. But I know of only one forum https://forum.scrollsawer.com. Can you give me a link to the other?

Excellent puzzle, great job!

Thank you! These kind words soaring on wings me. Regarding the time. I spent about: 8-10 hours for design, 25-30 hours for the cutting, 1 hour for backside sanding and 3 hours for the photo.

A little about photography. Often a puzzle not be placed near the camera absolutely perfect, but the thin line between the parts in the pictures are not visible. Wooden puzzle made on the laser very contrasting, but jigsaw cutting - alas. I tried and natural ambient light and solar lighting, ceiling lamp, table lights, add a flash ... The ideal is impossible. With the use of natural light photos are best - a good color rendering and uniformity. That's just not always this is enough enough, especially in the winter on a cloudy day. My decision turned out that - I do not put the puzzle on the table, but I hang it in front of the drapery. Some images show a thin fishing line that is attached to the corner. Puzzle hanging certainly not straight, but at an angle so that the camera has to be tilted too. But this stuff, Tripod still like to hold the camera. Through this method, the details a bit apart and the gap becomes wider between them more visible in the pictures. There is an opportunity to squeeze out some of the details of the background plane, selecting them for the shooting.

For this puzzle I used the poster "Tales of Peter Rabbit" by Mike Wimmer. It was fun to come up with the characters for the puzzle pieces. There are a variety of people and animals. As you can see, I'm just having fun here. However, it was as usually when I doing my work with the puzzles. 440 parts size 16*12

Christopher, thank you for the pleasure of seeing these wonderful works. I especially like the fact that the pattern created by the master himself.
