    Very nice cutting. Good job.

    Thanks. I've always had a problem putting a dab of glue here, another one there. Very small things would get no glue at all. The roller was a perfect solution. NC Scroller posted the solution. I used waxed paper because that is what I had. He suggests butcher paper. Next I will use a sheet of glass. That's just because I have one.

    Beautiful pattern and beautifully cut.

    I've looked at that pattern often. You did a great job of cutting!

    Are you sure Ray? That would be mind boggling for me.

    My brushes sprayed a smaller pattern. I understand a 3" pattern would be adequate and would spray a finer and more controlled pattern. My cuttings are rarely greater than 9X11 inches.

    Perhaps my eyesight is worse than other Hegner owners but when I thread the blade into the holder the blade and the holder are the same color making it confusing to my eyes. Sometimes it causes me to fiddle just a moment before getting the blade in the right position. Not a deal breaker but I painted the blade holder front white to give a bit of contrast.

    I have several air brushes. I was a model railroader for many years. I can't imagine spraying anything very large. However, I don't recognize your air brushes so they may be perfect for larger things.

    Craftsman was made by Atlas or even by Delta. I know guys in our machinists club that Craftsman lathes and Atlas lathes and they are the same.

    CharleyL posted how he developed a precision drill press table. This started my search for another bench top drill press. I have a floor drill and a bench drill press but it is in my basement shop which does me no good in the scroll shop. I use the Dremel plunge router to poke holes in my patterns but it does wobble a bit and is cumbersome to change drill bits. I had looked at several from Ryobi to Harbor Freight. Last night i spotted an Atlas bench top drill press. Circa late 40's to 50's. This is a fantastic piece of iron. Very heavy with a chuck that will grip a #70 drill bit accurately. It had been posted for only a couple hours on Facebook marketplace. Price was $75. I committed to buy it sight unseen. Picked it up this afternoon. Should say my wife and I managed to get into her SUV. Getting home a neighbor carried it into my shop. A new belt, a little rust remover and a few drops of oil and it's good to go. CharleyL's lazer information will get the lazer ordered and installed.

    Thanks to the individual that posted the little paint roller with the foam pipe covers for spreading glue. Spreading glue on the back of fretwork is always a problem for me. This little gizmo doe the job. I had forgotten the post until today. I had the little three inch paint roller. I was in ACE hardware looking for something else and just happened to see the foam pipe covers. I took one home and put it onto the paint roller. Works like a champ. I rolled the glue on a piece of wax paper, then rolled the glue onto the back of the fretwork. Every inch of the fretwork was covered without a mess. Thanks to you who posted this hint!

    That's a cute balloon!
