I do change them but always keep a couple of them. I figure they will come in useful someday like everything else I have kept for 20 years. My wife just groans. :>)
-
That is so cool! Thanks for posting.

Thanks Dick, I don't know what the wood is but it cut very easily with the #1 blade. Kind of strange wood as the grain was extremely close. If I bought it it had to come from Home Depot. Next time I'm there I'll have to check.
-
Thanks for posting a great video. Looks like a great project. I'm envious of you people that can produce videos. Love to watch them.
-
That's really cool. The inlay is unique and impressive.

Check with the old farts in you neighborhood. I'm sure there will be several who would save one for you. They are tough, not the neighbor but the hose and they are very flexible too. Maybe your neighbor is too. :>)

I'm sent one every few months. Don't know why because they don't wear out but are useful for other things.

The photo shows the quick release and the lever tension release. If I am fortunate to get it I will sell the Hawk and small Hegner. I am too crowded with two saws. I have to stumble over everything. My benches are all pinned to the wall so I can't rearrange things.

Actually Ray, I'm negotiating for an 18 inch Hegner now. Making an appointment to see it now.

Those are cute projects.

Actually two vacuums would be ideal. I have several vacuums. Sort of gathered them over the years but they are screamers. That's why I bought the little HF 13 gallon dust collector motor. It is noisy so it sits on a shelf outside the shop. I While it works just fine I think a powerful vacuum cleaner would work better if I had room in the shop. I do have hearing protection.

I enjoyed the video. I am mostly deaf so I could not understand the audio but I enjoyed watching it. Thank you for posting. Nice pattern and cutting. I did understand the problem though.

Very clever and nicely done!

This is weird. I responded to your post three times today on my cell phone.I would hit submit and nothing happened. I retyped and hit submit and nothing happened. The third time I got a message telling me to log in. I tried logging in and my user name and password were not recognized. This evening I tried logging in with my desktop. Message came up saying site was not available. I waited a few minutes and logged in successfully. Now that is taken care of so on to the business at hand. Your two cents made sense. Pardon the pun. You are correct about tight turns. However I am limited to what I can use. But I replaced the Y with T thus getting rid of the one inverse turn. Works quite well. The upper vacuum is virtually nothing. I guess to have vacuum in both places the two orifices need to be of equal size and share the vacuum. I can"t do that so I'll just go back to blowing the top sawdust away from me. In the meantime I appreciate you advise.

Not much going on here so I'll try to bore you a little. I started designing a DIY nuclear reactor. That didn't seemed to be working so decided to try and adapt it to my saw. Everything came from ACE hardware. I patronize them because they are very close and are locally owned. Also I get to know all the staff and get terrific service. Please try not to laugh as I am terribly sensitive and at my age my skin gets very thin. I bleed easily. It works well with exception of the upper vacuum hose. With the vacuum turned there is lots of suction on the large orifice bu very little on the upper. Perhaps it is because the larger uses all the suction and not enough left over for the smaller. I'm thinking perhaps both should be the same diameter so each would have the same amount of vacuum. I have not decided exactly how I will proceed with the upper. I may put a reduced orifice on the lower and see how that works before adapting the mounting bracket on top. This is totally an experiment in progress.

I would like to give credit to whomever created this pattern but for the life of me I can't remember who. Would the designer please step up. The original pattern had a silhouette of Christ which I did not include since that made it taller than the four inch material I had. Don't know what the wood is but used a #1 Pegas MG and finished with a couple of light coats of polyurethane.

You are one prolific scroller! You've cut some pretty terrific patterns.
-
Those look great. I like the various woods.
-
You've done a great job. How large are they and what wood did you use? I love hearing the details.
-
Love the hanger! Great job. Glad to hear you are employed. That's good news.
-
That is very nice!
-
Wow, that's beautiful. Must have taken an eternity to cut. Splendid. How big is it?
-
I have to agree with you. "Haste makes Waste"
-
That is remarkable. You have done a wonderful job. Great pattern too.
-
Many thanks for posting the pattern. i won't cut a hundred but will cut a couple.
