    I had a 216VS Hawk. I loved it. Worked like a champ and was in beautiful condition. Paid $200. I sold it when I found my present 220VS Ultra Hawk. Paid $200 although it had a bad controller. It was not even on the saw so I knew what was in store. Beautiful saw. I would not have room for a 226.

    I now have both types but I guess it is academic for me since I'll be using painters tape in the wood from now on.

    Thanks for the video. Can you show what you did woth the bottle and how that works. You are certainly thinking out of the box!

    I have and use both. I tend to use the #5 Pegas MG the most but sometimes I use whatever is closest to my hand. I think the difference is small unlike comparing a Yugo to a Ferrari.

    This is a most entertaining and informative discussion. I guess we each belong in our own little camp. Mine is in the Hawk camp. For me there is no better saw but only because I have one. This is all OK. I love these threads.

    I would hope manufacturers would pay attention to the discussions on this and other sites and learn what scrollers want.

    I don't sign my work. I don't want anyone to know who in the heck made that thing. :>)

    Glad to see you posting again Brad. I'm even happier to hear your bride came through the knee replacement OK. I've had two and they are not exactly pleasant. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year!

    Tall things can be a problem to place. Out grand father clock is 8 1/2' tall. It can only be in the vaulted portion of our home. We had a rubber tree plant years ago that had to bend when it hit the ceiling. The plant had to go. It was an amazing thing to see.

    I have used Pike blades, #2/0 and #2, For 40 years cutting brass parts for clocks and model machining. I now use Pegas blades as my most used blades. I have numerous things from Grobet.

    Many ways to skin a cat! (Which is abhorrent to me) Very informative. Thanks everyone.

    I think I will try to use the glue stick for small patterns instead of spray adhesive. Spraying small patterns wastes alot of adhesive.

    Katie said she uses blue school glue. I'm gonna go to Hobby Lobby and look for it.

    Thanks for the tips on Elmer's glue sticks. I'll pick some up today. The Scotch brand certainly did not work well.

    That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply.

    I finished another of Steve Good's compound patterns. On a previous one I used 3M spray adhesive on the pattern and applied it directly to the wood. A quick dip in BLO removed the pattern and I just wiped off the remaining adhesive. I cut another one today but used a Scotch glue stick applying the adhesive to the wood and then applying the pattern to the wood. A lengthy soaking in BLO would not remove the pattern. No problem as it will come off on my belt sander. Others use glue sticks. I have to presume you use painters tape first. Is that correct?
