You know the rule: Np photo, it didn't happen.

I could use a new broom!

That still would be a bargain!

Looks awesome to me!

Super nice!

Good looking Santas!

Ah, a Farmall Cub. Wish I had one. They are cute little buggers. Probably cost a small fortune if one could find one.

I buy my BB from Paxton also but they are giving you better prices. Guess it depends a lot on location.

Great job on the corners!

Great cutting Kevin, it really is!

Many thanks for the excellent photos. I must say your system is impressive. Amazingly resourceful! Wish I had the health and stamina to create something similar.

Remember, no pictures, it does not exist.

Try Duck brand.

I had one for years complete with glass scales and an AccuRite display. Variable speed and power feed. I no longer had the strength to do much with it so I sold it along with a nice 12 inch lathe. I replaced it with a Grizzly mini mill and have a nice MaxiMat7. I also have a lot of Sherline equipment along with a 8mm watchmaker's lathe with about 70 collets. Unfortunately I no longer have the energy to do much with them. I'd give them up in exchange for energy. But that is what old age does. However, I am blessed with scrolling. One day as I sat musing a voice came to me saying, "Cheer up, things could be worse." So I cheered up and sure enough things got worse! So I stopped doing that. Sorry. I guess I really hijacked this thread! I do like talking shop.

I can relate, that's why I kept my mill.

Prayers going up my friend!

I'd be satisfied with a little health improvement for my wife and I.

Great looking and well thought out stand.

Thank you. I'll go to Lowe's and pick some up.

That is a pretty good idea. Saves a lot of work. You will have to drill the blade hole directly on a corner rather than on the flat. The flat will not seat well into the recessed V. The round one will automatically center on the V. Should work.

That looks perfect.

I follow Stumpy every so often. Knows a lot of stuff. He makes a lot of sense with DC. However most of what he says is more applicable to those with lots of machinery, lots of space and lots of money. I think most on this site are pretty average and have smaller work areas and pretty much basic equipment for scrolling and are somewhat limited in doing serious woodwork like building furniture and such projects. I have a HF 13 gallon DC. My gates are a tennis ball stuck in the end of the hose. We have a city tennis court next to out back yard and tennis balls fly...well you know, so we collect them. I use a 2.5" flex hose on my mini lathe and router. Scroll saws are just little machines and make a little dust. That's why so many of us just use a vacuum with a Dust Deputy or similar device. Does not take much to pick up small amounts of sawdust. Our tubing or hose runs are short and diameters are small. Nothing is very elaborate but rather quite simple. If it were not I'd just have to stop inhaling. I love these discussions and the ideas you all bring to the table.

My son-in-law is Rockie. That is his real name as on his birth certificate. Should get the printer Tuesday. Will keep posted.

Problem is that Dim Wits like me title their posts with smart a$$ titles or things that have no bearing on he subject matter. I'll try not to do that ant longer!
