This is my first shot at a portrait, I have a lot to learn but it was fun. The area around the eye on the left was supposed to have more wood there but it came off while I was cutting it. I need to learn what to cut first so this doesn't happen again. This was also my first time trying spiral blades, I used a #4 to start but switched to a 2/0 about half way through just to see the results. this is a J. Lawson pattern from the pattern section.

Wow. Somebody got lucky.

It's a small world! I moved about 10 miles south in NJ about 17 years ago.

Thanks Tony. It's funny you mentioned Phila CL, I was born and raised in S Philly.
-
Thanks Stoney. I am going to wait on the lever, but I will probably get it sooner or later.
-
Yes it came with a manual. Thanks for that tip, I did not know that. Now I guess I'll read the manual.
-
Thanks Tony. I already put a couple drops of oil on the bushings, the quick clamp is nice, at least I don't have to worry about using a tool to release the blade to go from hole to hole, makes it a little easier.

I just set up a blade and ran a piece of 1/2" pine through it, nice and smooth all through the different speeds, it did vibrate a little at higher speeds but when I put pressure on the table it was smooth again, same thing happened with my EX21 because the floor isn't very level. Very quiet too, all you can really hear is the air coming out from the bellows. All in all I am happy so far!

Here she is! I didn't start to mess around with her yet, but here's a couple pictures like promised. Thanks for all the advice, I am glad i joined the Village!

Thank you.
-
I will post some pictures when I get it in a day or two.

I can't pass it up. I know it's been well taken care of and you don't come by these saws every day so I'm going to buy it and take it from there.

After seeing all the responses Ii's looking like it will probably end up costing somewhere around $400 after the upgraded tension lever. Not sure now. Thanks for all the info everybody.
-
It is variable speed, but i didn't notice the tension lever. It also comes with a few of the blade holders which I guess is a plus.

I have the opportunity to buy an 18" Hegner Scrollsaw for $175, I don't really need it since I have an Ex21 that I have hardly used yet but I am wanting to buy it just because I can never pass up a good deal. I guess I just want some opinions on what to do and is it as good a saw as I've heard? Thanks for any input. Robert
