Another great project. I would have it hanging up and not actually use it as a cutting board though! I would be afraid of breaking it - especially on some of those fragile points. I am sure the recipient is going to love it. Thanks for sharing.

beautiful work on both projects. I am sure the shepherd owner will be thrilled with the project. Thanks for sharing.

Good to hear. May show these to hubby and see if he wants to try and make a couple.

Some absolutely stunning work - especially since it is lettering (my nemesis it seems ). Thanks for sharing.

Another beautiful piece of artwork Frank. Looks great. You did an excellent job cutting and finishing it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, just beautiful work on that plaque Dave. The recipients are for sure going to love having it. You do amazing work and have a talent for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, just a stunning piece of artwork you have created Paul. Even without the light I am sure your grandson would love it. I like the switch over to the ball rather than a clock. Look forward to seeing how the final piece works out. Thanks for sharing. Hope Dick gets to drop in and see you.

Very nice looking sign Todd. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, those look very nice. How well do they actual "seat" someone? Stability? Thanks for sharing.

I like the card Scott. Clearly shows what you are selling. I have used Vistaprint in the past for cards. Nice quality and they do ship quickly as I recall. Thanks for sharing the discount/sale information.

I will join the chorus of "me too" - would love to see and read any and everything on compound cutting. I have seen some of them but have been hesitant to try them just yet. Just trying to align the pattern alone seems difficult to me. Thanks for sharing about the wood source you use for yours.

Glad you were able to fix your saw to get it working for you. I think @Rolf has a Hawk and is very biased towards them so he might be able to give you some good help/information on the Hawk saws. Like you, I had never heard of the other brands until I got on the forums for scroll saws. We already had a beautiful yellow dewalt and I have added a used Excalibur (it's purple my favorite color) so I haven't really explored any other saws yet. What I have now works for my needs. I do pay attention though when other saws are discussed as you never know. Good luck with the fix on the one you have and finding a new one. Be sure to let us know when you do.

@rdatelle Ralph - excellent work - I am sure your son loved getting it for his new deck. Can you point to the site where you found the DIY plans for the one you made? Son got home from college today and thought I might see if he wants to try to build one while he is home. Thanks for showing yours and help in finding the plans. I really have liked these ever since Dan had shown his.

Thanks Dan for sharing this information. Son got home from college this weekend. Was going to show him your boxes and see if he was interested in making one perhaps. I missed this info. after you updated it it appears.

Nice work. Anyone who loves owls would love to get one of those I am sure. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice job - even if it is not a horse! I am sure the niece will love it. Looks like you are doing well and moving right along. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work. I'm sure lots of happy recipients with those projects. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice scroller Pete. Looks like you have been taking good advantage of all the rain. Perhaps the rain should stay a while longer so you can get more done?

Wow, now that's an old saw! About 70 years old if my math is right. There are going to be as many opinions on the best saw as there are saws out there. There is a subsection here on the forum that has "reviews" of different saws. You could start there by reviewing that information. You can find it here: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/forum/49-scroll-saw-reviews/ - Another important factor is to determine what is your "budget" for a new saw? They range significantly in price so what you are willing to spend is an important decision. There have already been lots of discussions here on the forum in the past about people's favorite saws or hated saws - you could probably do a search and see what you can find in that regard as well. I don't know if anyone on here can give you information/help in fixing the saw that you have. I know I can't. I'm not that mechanically inclined and let hubby do the "fixing" when I have an issue that needs fixed. Plus, I'm a relative newbie to the saw myself (although right at a year now so maybe I can drop the "newbie" tag ) If you don't get much insight/input in this thread its self - (and you might not since it is in the "Introductions" area and many people might not catch you were looking for help/information - you might post a new thread in the General Scroll Sawing subform asking for help/insight in fixing your old saw and for further insight into a good new one to start with. Lots of people like their Dewalt's - despite their yellow color. Other's swear by Excalibur's, Hegner, Hawks and more. There are two new scroll saws that just came out. One is by Jet and the other is a Seyco saw. Seyco is a company in the USA who has sold and serviced Excalibur's for years. At present, new Excaliburs don't exist. You can look for used ones. There are others out that people say are "rebranded" Excaliburs. They have all been discussed recently here on the forum and with a little searching here and with google, you should find some reviews of both the new saws. The last edition of the Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts magazine had written reviews on both the new Jet and Seyco saw. (Summer, 2017 Issue 67) http://scrollsawer.com/2017/03/21/scroll-saw-woodworking-crafts-summer-2017-issue-67/ Good luck.

Welcome to the Village Robert. Work looks nice. Based on what you said, what saw are you presently using? Are you looking for information/help on a new saw?

Another fine piece. You are definitely rolling out the horses! Thanks for sharing.

A wide variety of different types of works there. They all look very nice. The bears are Judy Gale Roberts patterns. Not sure about any of the others. Very nice memorial for the friend of a friend who lost Bucky. I am sure your wife measures the one of her son. Thanks for showing.

Very nice work and I am sure will be well received and great for the SPCA. Very nice of Iggy to share his rescue puzzle with you. I am sure they will love it too. Thanks for sharing.

Another great project you have done there. I am sure the Mom who gets it will love it. Thanks for sharing.

more great work Kevin. I really like the crosses. Thanks for sharing.
