    Holy smokes! That's way above my pay grade. That is one beautiful piece of work.

    Just for anyone who is interested the buyer of my saw posted a picture of it the evening he bought it, WOW, it had a mirror finish that I could not believe. Said he'll show me how to do that.I'm looking forward to visiting his shop. He is a welder and needs some machining from me and he volunteered welding when I need it. Guess I made a friend.

    Not really. Just my experience with an Olson #7 Skip Tooth blade. I'm cutting 1/2" poplar. That blade chews through lumber like an alligator on a cadaver. I'm not posting this as an endorsement just what I observed. Lots of fun experimenting with blades.

    Don't know that I should respond since I've never had to do this. But, what if one were to drill two 1/8" holes through the base and up into the object needing to be mounted. Glue 1/8" dowels into the base. Place glue on the base and dowels and slide onto the object. On the other hand, what do I know.

    Kevin, now I remember getting it from Wooden Teddy Bear. Fun to cut.

    Hi Brad, I don't remember where I got it but let me research it tomorrow. I'm sure I can find it. I'll let you know.

    I'd really like to see you happy with a saw whichever you do. I know how anxious I would get. I'm not too patient.Wishing you the best.

    I think returning is a no brainer.

    Yep, I sold my 216VS Hawk for $150. I placed the ad on craig's list Friday night and got a call Saturday morning. Young fellow all excited to buy it. I assumed he was a newbie being excited for an old 16". I got out some helpful literature, a blade chart and some blades. I was shocked when he came Sunday afternoon. This guy has eight saws and has been scrolling for quire a while. Asked why he wanted this one. Said he had not seen a 16" Hawk before and wanted for his collection. Spent entire Sunday afternoon talking scroll saws. He brought over a three foot hammer head shark cut from 1" MFD. It is segmented and all segments can be disassembled. Never saw anything like it. Should have snapped a photo but forgot. Encouraged him to join the Village. Hope he does. He's made some short you tube videos under "Scroller Nation.

    Did you buy it new from a dealer? Can you return it or exchange it?

    Amazing King of Bling Kevin. You never cease to amaze.

    Ray, I have the FD XL blades, some of the many I have not yet tried. So far nearly everything I have cut is 1//2" and 3/4" material. The skip feature is very helpful. I've used Olsen skip blades on 3/4" pine and it worked well.

    Usually scrollers have favorite blades. For newbies it can take time to settle on favorites. It has for me. I sort of jumped in with both feet and ended up buying a dozen of almost everything. At gross pricing it was not that bad, but a waste of money. Should'a started with the FD sample pack. However, I have done more scrolling and am beginning to form opinions. I thought for awhile that I did not like reverse blades but after using them for some time I changed my opinion. JT, whom I have a lot of respect for, suggested some time ago FD Penguin Silver Reverse blades. I ordered them from Wooden Teddy Bear and received them yesterday. I cut Steve Good's Crescent wrench man cave the other day with a #5 FD Ultra Reverse blade and it cut quite well. This morning I started cutting five more from poplar with the FD Penguin Silver Reverse blades. What a great blade! It is like both a reverse and skip tooth blade. I think it will be a favorite.

    Gotcha Ray. We no longer see shows in Denver either.

    Lots of fun projects. I like the hammer.
