Those look great!

Very well done.

I just received the two books Making Wooden Gear Clocks and Gizmos and Gadgets. I've only just flipped through them. I saw where metal machines were used. I dismantled my machine shop about four years ago unfortunately. I see a rotary table and dividing head used. That would certainly simplify things as would be a CNC router. Oh well. -
Beautiful cutting. I found a couple of bamboo serving boards on sale at Wally-World but have not cut them. Your projects certainly look great!

Congratulations! The money pit begins.

The Denver Woodcraft store has it also.

I did Ray. I sold my 16 inch Hawk to my friend who has the 11. His latest purchase was two old Deltas. Q2 or 3? Not sure. He scrolls full time but I can't get him to join the Village. He is a loner.

I have a lamp very similar to Ray's lamp. Mine is LED with a 5X magnifier. I cannot use the magnifier as it is too strong. Trying to focus with that strong a diopter bothers my eyes. I use magnifiers with about 1.5X strength. Others here may like the 5X. I also use reading glasses with 1.75X magnification. I don't like my nose too close to the saw. I do love the LED lighting. Also I do not attach the lamp to the saw as I do not enjoy the light vibrating. My saw is very smooth but there are harmonics that cause the lamp to vibrate slightly. Other opinions may vary.

Nosy is OK. I have a friend with 11 scroll saws. He is hoping to start a teaching program. I have one saw because that is all I have room for.

I did not think you could do it. Boy am I wrong! Good work.
-
Masterful job!
-
Great pattern. You did a beautiful job!

I just ordered the gizmo book and the wooden clock book from amazon. One book was $12.47, the other $11.00 including shipping with Prime. Small investment to check it out. I don't know if I have the patience or if I will live long enough to finish a clock. Should make interesting reading for sure.

Looks great as always!

You did a beautiful job. Nice pattern, excellent cutting.

Not being too ambitious today I decided to check the runout on my small drill press. I have an old but excellent American made chuck. The accuracy is quite exceptional. I measured a 3/8" length of drill rod. Drill rod is not necessarily perfectly round but very close. A 3/8" dowel pin is more accurate. The runout on the drill rod is .0015".

18 degrees this morning but still 55 in my little shop. So did I go out there and scroll? Nope, I stayed in my warm basement and just fiddled around. Just got over a little flu like bug but am OK now. This 4" of snow we have will be gone in a couple of days. It's pretty while it lasts but won't last long.

An impressive array of great looking work! -
Here is a big welcome from snowy Colorado. 18 degrees this AM. I've looked at your projects. You appear quite accomplished in your work. Very nice work.
-
That is the same problem with Delta Midi-Lathes. No parts.
-
You have been busy! Some very nice work.
-
Beautiful work. I particularly like the cutting of the leaf. Great work.
-
What a great display of your work! The locomotive is spectacular.

Is that a '32? Great job!
