Would it be possible for somone to post/repost a list of all the bearings/bushing models, quantities, amount needed for a type 2? I'm visiting family in MIchigan and thinking I might order them so they'll be there when I get home. Not going to try and watch 4 videos on a smart-phone to find the numbers, found a couple of lists elsewhere but none seem complete. I'm looking on craigslist while i'm here so if i get lucky and find something decent i'll just sell the dewalt with a big bag of bearings. thanks joe

I ruined a jigsaw puzzle that way - cut it into dozen strips, stopped to do an inlay, went back to cut the strips into pieces and it was still set at about 3 degrees. The pieces would only go together one way, had to throw itout.

All 3 look like nice pieces to build, although every time I see those plans I have to wonder what type of decor they would fit into.

I bought some 1/4" cherry from Ocooch, thinking I'd use it for puzzles. I think the price was in the $7 range for a 12x24 piece. The inner ply is MDF. It was nice, but like cutting jello so the pieces fit too loosely for puzzles, I ended up making boxes out of it. If you've got the time and the tools there is no reason not to go ahead and use the real stuff.

I've got a scan of it from a magazine but I cropped out the top/bottom so I don't know which one.

got these off of vecteezy. They're a nice fretwork design, very intricate. Zodiac Animals.pdf

klingspor sells them for 4.95 and wants 7.99 flat rate shipping, so that's one place cheaper. mikes workshop sells flying dutchman blades and they have the TC 2-way cut which is the same profile, different name. $3 a dozen. I forget what he charges for shipping but it's a lot less than 9 bucks. Woodcraft sells them, there's one an hour and forty minutes to your southwest. A bit of patience and some googling would probably bring up a few more.

I like ABE books - it's a worldwide network of book dealers. I was able to get a library of metalworking books from England that are unavailable in the states, and shipping was very cheap. Just like Amazon you'll find some crazy price ranges but it's easy to sort by price. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&an=&tn=scroll+saw+relief+patterns&kn=&isbn=

$3300 I could live with. $33,000 might be a bit outside my budget since I just make stuff to give away.

You might find these guys to be helpful when it comes to finding machines/blades in Australia. http://www.scrollsawaustralia.com/ Most of the links on their link page seem to be dead, but their main page advertises an event from May, so if they've disbanded it's just been recently. There are also these people. Their site too is a bit outdated, but they have a newsletter from last month so they're not dead yet: http://www.woodgroupsa.org.au/sozscroll/ With a bit of luck you might be able to find someone there who has set themselves up as an importer/reseller of tools/blades.

Well that was quite a rabbit hole. No specs there, but I clicked on one of the others and for less than a grand it will cut 4" but it takes a 12" blade. From there I found another one that costs either $1 or $3000 (Are they not sure how much???) The entire page is written in Chinglish except the description, which seems to be "borrowed" from wikipedia: " Scroll saws are often used to cut intricate curves and joints, a task they can complete quickly and with great accuracy." I've been contemplating buying a big load of pen kits from Alibaba. Worst case scenario there is I'm out a couple hundred bucks. I'm not sure I'd use them for something this big though unless I'd seen it in person somewhere else first.

If you stumble upon it again please let me know. thanks Joe

Saw the title and had to look because Dolly Parton was just on TV on one of the morning shows. Your work looks good, hopefully it ages better than she did...

Those links take you to a page full of pictures. Lots of pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Can you link to the pictures on their original site?

What kind of motor is on the Fein - AC, DC, induction, universal, brushes or no, start/run/both capacitors etc.?
