I purchased a Excalibur 16" 6 years ago directly from my local Woodcraft in Greenville SC and had it shipped to the store so there was no freight charge. I believe there is a Woodcraft in Raleigh on Captial Blvd. You may want to talk with them. I would expect they would do the same if the Pegas is not in stock. I believe my saw was made in Tiawan and has been reliable though I eventually replaced the blade hold downs with Pegas. They work great! I can't speak to the other models mentioned. I went from the stone age to the space age when I sold my old Craftsman and bought the Excalibur. The angle head is a real plus. It's always better to focus on the joy of cutting rather than the "could a, should a" of a tool that doesn't perform.

Thanks Todd, I blue taped the edges and glued and folded it all together. I also used 2 90 degree plastic guides I got from Rockler. I used a 1/4" round over bit on the router to smooth the edges and the inside of the box. I used a 15 lb weight on the top when I glued it down (CA glue) I should use a sealer but I just used a lot of gloss lacquer.

The panels are all oak. The sides are getting a reflection from the glass in the front door.

My wife wanted me to make another tissue box. I found a nice fret pattern for the sides. Made from 1/4" oak and fits the standard size Kleenex Tissue Box 8.2 x 8.4 inch / 20.8 x 21.3 CM. It has a 1/4" gap on the bottom for easier lifting. Finish is shellac/ gloss Lacquer.

CA Glue and Accelerator----Can someone educate me?
munzieb replied to OCtoolguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Ray, I use Stick Fast CA glue and I am happy with its results. I buy it from Woodcraft but it is available from Amazon also. I buy the medium size bottle and the medium set up speed. I used the accelerator if I need a 3rd hand when gluing parts together but mostly holding parts together for a minute or two does the trick. If I am not quick enough to put the cap back on, the tip can get clogged up and I'll just use a very small drill to open up the hole. Heck, its also great for cuts! I was cutting up some boxes with a utility knife and slipped and cut across the top of my thumb and cut through the nail. Squeezed it all together and put a drop of CA on the cut and it healed up in 3 days. ( DO NOT THE ACCELORATOR!! That will really hurt!) They have been using it in hospitals for years. It's been my go to CA glue.

That is a really nice box. The splines and the horse pattern make a great contrast and the finish pops!

SSV is the only Social Media web site I have left. I dumped all the rest. I was feeling deprived. I'm glad you're back.

I just finished a Valentine's Day project for my wife from Sue Mey pattern. It's a napkin holder. I added a red 1/8" plexi-glass backer to both sides. It cuts very well with an 80 tooth blade on the table saw and a #2 on the scroll saw. Attached to face piece with CA glue.
