I don't remember the car. In 1940 I was two years old. Certainly a innovative vehicle. I love the cutting you did and really appreciate the history lesson.

Glad you got it worked out. Happy scrolling!

I only try to follow the lines. I always hope I can do justice to the patterns that have been made for me We are indeed fortunate to have so many talented and generous designers!

I've had three RBI's. Only one at a time, a 14" belt driven ten a 16" vs and finally a 220 vs Ultra. I loved the 220 but give it up for two Hegners. I did that because the Hegners have the three legged stand which has a much smaller footprint. I rate the RBI's and Hegners pretty much equal. Loved both of them. The Hegners allow me to have two saws instead of one. That's very handy.

That's good!

My experience also!

?? What kind of adapter, what kind of saw?

Really looks great. So does your frame. good work!

Unless it fell off the back of a semi it should be just fine. All you need to look at is the price if it runs. They are nearly indestructible.

All this talk about dust collection. Unless you have a shop equipped with heavy duty tools, table saw, planer, router, jointer, band saw and other, big pieces of equipment, dust collectors are in the way. If all you are doing is scrolling simple things like a Dust Deputy and the like are all you need. I have a HF 13 gallon DC. I got it to use on my mini lathe when I was making pens and other things. I also have a mini router table on which I use it. I have it mounted high on a shelf outside my small shop as it took too much room and was noisy. I used 4 inch PVC and some flex tubing from Woodcraft. I found it useless for my scroll saws. Too big and not very practical necking down to 1 inch for the scroll saw. I use 2 small cyclones with 2 small vacuums, a Filter Queen and an Oreck. Get lots of suction. They suck up all the dust as well lots of the small chips and pieces. Had I a well equipped shop, of course I would love ducted DC to all my tools. The choice is yours but I agree with the Rockler salesperson. He's doing you a favor.

My father was a dentist and upon his passing I kept his dental cabinets and a belt driven dental drill and the air compressor from one of the dental chairs. The compressor, which I still have, is whisper quiet and was perfect for my air brushes.

Hi Kevin, welcome to the Village! If you are a newbie you are certainly off to a terrific start. Nice work. Lots of nice and helpful folks here.

Thanks. That's why I never heard of him. I was never a Rock and Roller. I'm still in the big band era.

So who is James Taylor? Never heard of him.

I've had a half dozen different air brushes because of building models for my railroad. I love them but would not use them for anything but detail work. I still have some of them but have been unable to use them for quite a few years. I have several Paasche and Aztek. Never had a Badger but had friends that used them who loved them. Lots more to choose from these days.

Welcome to the Village Roger from another old far...er ah fella. Lots of friendly, helpful people here.

Ah, a closer look and I see the symbols and how they represent the 12 days. Thank you.

Great cutting. I just don't understand the symbolism.

That's both big and beautiful! You did a great job.

Great pattern and excellent cutting

That's clever and nice!

Wow! You are busy. Nice work!

I no longer get out and about so I could not check the box stores. I searched the internet but could not find smaller pieces. Laminate is ideal. However for as long as I'll be around the thin material I used will work. It will outlast me.

Anyone would appreciate it. Very nice!

I have long been annoyed at the aluminum tables on my scroll saws. I've had Ryobi, Grizzly, Hawk and presently two Hegners. The aluminum leaves black residue on the back of the work and the surface is not slick. I've used Johnson paste wax and silicone sprays. Neither were satisfactory. Some on this site use magnetic backed Melamine or similar material but that only works on steel tables. I found a thin adhesive backed counter top material to use. It's cheap. $5.99 on Amazon. I made a couple mistakes. First I taped the material upside down to the table and traced around the table with a felt Sharpie. I then cut the shape with a scissors. I then tried to position it on the table and missed and got it off to one side. I then discovered I could trim the surplus nicely with a sharp knife. I have enough material to do it over but will use it as is for now. What a difference. Makes scrolling a joy the way the project slides around so well. Also because the white surface is so bright it makes it easier for bottom feeders to find the little drill holes.
