I cut most everything from pine. You demonstrate how well it works and it's inexpensive too.
-
I don't see it either but I sure would like to.
-
Cute little girl!

The Pegas clamp will do no good on my Hawk but it makes sense to me if other saw makers would just charge a few bucks more and just sell their machines with the Pegas clamp since it appears to be so superior. WDIK What do I know?

Thanks John, I remember that song from when I was a kid. My uncle had that record and I played it over and over. I might not even known what a boomerang was. Just a dumb kid.
-
HaHa! I would try that but DoDo doesn't like Bud Light.

When your boomerang won't come back it's one thing. But when your DoDo bird won't walk, now that causes me to get real wrankled. Disgusting is what it is! I did eventually get it to walk three steps one time. Mostly the thing just falls over on it's beak. It is cut exactly like the pattern but somehow the geometry is not quite right. I'll try taping weights in various places to see if it makes a difference. If nothing helps I won't paint it. It will go into the circular file. Cheees!

WOW, you sure did a bang up job on an American icon!

You always cut the most interesting things!
-
You did a great job on a very nice pattern!
-
Gorgeous! You are more artist than scrollers. I know I could never do that. I just don't visualize shapes and colors. I can only appreciate them when I see them.

Welcome to the Village. This is definitely a friendly place to get answers.

Biggest feature is it's cool paint job! I love it.

Metrics drive crazy. When I was more actively machining all my machinery was in inches. All my measuring instruments were in inches. Now, however, with digital mikes and calipers they will convert back and forth. I prefer dial indicators over digital. My small mill has three axis DROs so that eliminates the problem of converting.

Check to see if there is a Paxton Lumber in your area. I think there are some around the country.

Hi Mike. A big welcome from Colorado. Don't think nobody knows about Las Vegas, NM. I have actually been there!
-
No John. It is smooth as silk. Very easy to move around. I'd like to put larger wheels on back to raise it some.

I would like a ceiling air cleaner. However my shop is 14' long and the way the fluorescent lights are spaced there is no ceiling space available. I have placed a box fan on the floor in back of the saw. It turns on with the dust extractor. I'll try it for awhile and see what happens. It is the only place where there is room to put it.
-
I just finished googling air filters. Lots of information out there. One site was a doctor comparing an $800 air cleaner with a box fan and hepa filter. I think hepa because I am hearing impaired and don't understand everything being said. The upshot is he said while the expensive air filter obviously filtered down to the finest particles the simple box fan set-up did an admirable job. Many of the replies stated that their very cheap air cleaners worked not much better than the box fans. I have a couple of box fans which I will set up with a furnace filter and set it on the floor behind my scroll saw. I'll give it a shot. I'll plug it in so that it runs while my dust collector runs.

I have never seen an air cleaner with exception on line. Old Joe mentioned he has used a box fan with a furnace filter. I have done that but wonder how a air cleaner is different. I assume a fan sucks air through a filter into the box. The box must have holes in it for air to escape which the box fan does without the box. So I'm wondering just how it works. Perhaps If I had one I would be able to inhale instead of only exhaling in my shop.

Pegas MG is my go to blade these days. However I also use the FD polar blades a lot. the other day I was cutting some 1" pine and cut the outside of the pattern with Olson skip tooth blades. I do like them. Tuesday I went to Woodcraft to look around and purchased Olsen skip tooth blades and several Pegas blades. Their selection was very small and I seldom buy things there unless there is no other local source. The blades are $4.99 per dozen. 42 cents each. A bit expensive but unless I mail order blades along with something else the shipping eats up the savings. I generally wait to order a gross but I don't scroll enough to buy that many blades. My widow will have enough things to dispose of without adding a bunch of blades she knows nothing about. I do love Pegas MG!

That' some awesome cutting!

Looks wonderful.

Stunning work. You've done very well!
