    Well, I got the bad news on my drill motor. It needs a complete rewinding which will go well over my $200 limit. Back to looking for a motor. I'll try to find an original otherwise I will have to purchase an modern motor which means making an adapter plate as the Atlas motor mount is no longer standard. Also it just won't look right. I could buy a new drill for the same money but would have to change out the cheap, crap chuck. Besides I love old iron. Bummed!

    Having two saws is a blessing. Often I'm cutting fret work when another project come up that needs my attention. I don't interrupt what was going on with the fret project and just move to the other saw.

    Thanks. It really isn't a problem. Mostly just wondering if this was unusual.

    No backer, BB covered with Duck brand shelf paper, pattern sprayed with 3M 77, pattern attached to shelf liner a d burnished for good adhesion. No packing tape. The wood is Cedar but it occasionally happens on other woods. I'm thinking it happens when I use very fine blades and the sawdust can't escape easily.

    I don't use blowers on my saws. I want to get rid of the dust and not spread it. The dust from very tiny blades is nasty.

    I agree Kevin. However, keeping in mind how fragile it is I love it for certain projects and it cuts beautifully. Smells good too.

    Nice projects. I especially like the little cart. Nicely done.

    You did a wonderful job on all three projects! I thought about doing the curved lid box. Still thinking.

    Perhaps this only happens to me, but...I'm cutting 1/2" Cedar with #1 PMG blade. As I'm cutting fine sawdust piles up both behind the blade as well as in front of the blade which obscures the line I'm cutting. My dust collection is adequate. While it does not pick up the sawdust when the cut is completed it often sucks up the piece that was cut out. The DC orifice is 1/2" tubing. I've tried a Lock-Line nozzle which does not work as well I'm assuming it is static holding the sawdust in place. I tried wiping the pattern down with fabric anti-static sheets. Dumb, but it did not help. I just finished cutting 1/2" Oak with #3 PMG blade. No problem. So...just wondering, could it be the Cedar and small blade causing the condition. I don't call it a problem. When it occurs I just lift my foot off the foot switch, brush off the dust with an acid brush and continue. I would not post something so trite or weird but things are awfully slow in the Village this summer.

    I'm sure glad you joined us. Lots we can learn from you. You've taught me something already. Stay away from 1-1/2X1-1/2 Ebony. Again, WELCOME!

    Gorgeous box Brenda! I happen to be a cat lover so that makes it even more special. Youve done a wonderful job!

    BTW, where is SCROLLSAW703? Have not heard from Brad in a long time. Will have to email him. Hope he's OK.

    Very nice. The cutting and framing are excellent.

    So very true! Nice work.

    Getting up there with me? Really? Ray, I left you in the dust long ago. BTW, I'm excited for your anticipated move. Hope all goes really well. Don't forget to wave as you pass by!

    I also love the blue backer. You've cut those beautifully!
