Not so silly. Before I had even thought of scroll saws I used PVC to store my blades for my piercing saws. Here is where I learned about the plastic tubes.
Hi epson. Are you able to post details on how you weighted the last two characters. I'm having difficulty making it out on the photos. I've made the gears but am stuck with the last characters.
My saw doesn't have holes for that. I do, however, use the extremely nice and cheap plastic test tubes from Ebay. I used to use PVC but quickly changed over to the test tubes. They have a nice cap that keeps everything tidy.
I feel like I'm welcoming my wife to the Village. Her name also is Faye but she does not scroll. So welcome aboard. You'll make lots of friends here who are always willing to help and give advice.
Here is a BIG welcome for you Tammi. Wow, you are starting off great with a new saw. You will not only love your new saw but you will enjoy being here. Lots of friends to make here.
