Nice job and definitely made your BIL happy. thanks for sharing.

Happy Wife - Happy Life. Definitely earned a lot of brownie points with this one! Beautiful project both in the design and the execution. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work. thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work. Delicate looking. Thanks for sharing.

Great to hear that you figured it out with Harvey's help. Good thing too because your friend would probably never had mentioned it since you were probably doing as a gift - thus no order form. She will be happy to get it no doubt.

Another welcome. Glad you decided to join in. Look forward to your participation.

Well, being of the female persuasion, that was my thought BEFORE I got to the part - sounds like somebody made a girlfriend mad - I love that song Good thing for my hubby he's never made me that mad in our 34 years+ together. Course his words of wisdom to anyone getting married is to learn two simple words - "yes, dear." Might explain it.

Hi Sydney and welcome to the Village. First, you say you have a PC that you have been using for about a year. Then you indicate that AFTER looking here, you get the impression that its not a good saw and you should look to upgrade. IF you had NOT looked here and saw anyone post something bad about the PC, did you like it, did you enjoy using it, have any problems with it? What led you here - was it a problem with your saw its self? If not, then I would say you were happy with the PC and there is no NEED to update/upgrade until you want to or have problems with the PC saw. There are lots of benefits and drawbacks to every saw. Some people can master any saw and make beautiful and breathtaking work with it - kinda like some musicians - they can pick up any instrument and make beautiful music with it. I have seen people on here like Lawson who uses a PC saw and does beautiful work with it. I have seen work on here from people with most all of the saws and have seen beautiful work done with them all. So clearly, they all can be used to do the work. I think how much you use the saw, what type of work you are doing with it which means the type/thickness of the wood, etc., whether you top feed or bottom feed, etc. play into what works better then others for some people. Everybody has their favorite. Sometimes its simply because its all they have ever used. Others are always trying out new and different ones because they have a desire to do so and can. Doesn't make anyone right or wrong. If there was one "perfect" saw - we would all have that saw. My suggestion is to decide if you want to stay with the PC for a while longer, do some more research (lots of these threads on here and a whole section dedicated to the different saws pros/cons), "listen" here to the discussions had about the different saws - why somebody loves their Delta - someone else doesn't and wants to upgrade - what is it that draws someone to the higher end saws - if they get one - why they got it and do they like it, how is it different from their old saw(s), how is it the same - can it top feed, bottom feed, both - is it a pain to change blades or easy, etc. Get a basic "feel" for them based on that information and while you are doing that, figure out what your scroll "type" is. Once you have done that, you will better know which is the right saw for you.

Awesome work on the design and cutting. Can't even think I would ever attempt something that complex and that many holes! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome work and if you almost gave on up on it then I think it will be a long while before I attempt it. Love the walnut. I too think its a "keeper". Thanks for sharing.

As long as you have the time, the material to cut - the more you take the more you can sell so its good. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work on both Edward. thanks for sharing.

Very nice. I am sure it will be well loved by all in the family. Thanks for showing.

Welcome home Dick - both back home to your new "physical" home in AZ and your home here in the village. Glad you had a great time and got to visit with many friends and family and you and Paul had some time to visit again. Look forward to you being able to participate more regularly here again on the Village.

Nice work - great projects - I have a couple of brother-in-laws on both sides that would like one or both of those. Thanks for showing.

Labor Intensive I think may be an understatement - beautiful work though. Thanks for showing.

Thanks for taking time to give us an update after a long day Scott. Hope today goes well.

Glad to see you back Edward. Sounds like you had a great time with the family. Hope to get to Gettysburg one day.

Glad to hear you are mending Bobby and able to get out and about some. Everybody thinks it would be great to be laid up until it happens. Then boredom hits quick. Take care and don't push it especially while you still have swelling.

Congratulations Brian on the new saw. Look forward to hearing how you like it. That's a bummer Ike that you were without the saw for so long last year but great that Dewalt took care of it and made sure you didn't get charged for it. Sounds like you basically got a "new" saw with the new motor and bearings packed. Good for you.

Nice work Aggie. Isn't it surprising how fast word can get around like that! Not surprised though because you are doing excellent work on these doggie patterns and everybody loves things with their dog - just like they love their dog. Be prepared, the cat people will be hitting you up next once they get wind of it! Thanks for sharing.

Nice work Jim and I am sure will be well appreciated by the recipient. Thanks for sharing a photo of the finished piece.

Nice work as always Kevin. While free is good - make sure you are doing enough to take care of you too.

More nice work. Glad Harvey was able to get the custom patterns to you quickly and let you give the new saw another workout. So glad to hear that you are now happy with it and that they did all they could to get it that way for you.

What an awesome piece you have crafted. Thanks for sharing.
