After a short search I found that this is identical to the Ozito model we get here in Australia. https://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-variable-speed-rotary-tool-kit-31-pc-68696.html

Yeah, the Ozito uses collets. I don't know if you can get them in the US but there would have to be other brands that are much the same. No doubt they are mass produced in China somewhere and given a different brand, depending on who orders them.

Wasn't there a video showing how to make a homemade plunge router attachment on the site somewhere? Dremel is so overpriced.

Not sure about the WEN model but I've used the Ozito model, https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-170w-42-piece-rotary-tool-kit_p6290175. I've never had any problems using this and it comes in very handy for segmentation sanding, don't use it much for drilling.

Never bent wood but I understand it requires steam and pressure. Apparently you can make a steam box out of whatever and steam the hell out of it. Take it out and bend it around a shape. Might have to try that one day but have never had the need to.

I thought I'd get a little creative on this one. Hope someone can use it. Obviously you'll want to cut the white.

Hi All, Just learned something new, and I've been playing with computers for a long time. Inkscape can import CDR files. Not only that, you can change the colour if they are hard to see, resize so they'll fit on the page (best to do the whole import so you'll get multiple pages) and ungroup everything. Then it's just a matter of fitting everything onto the page and Save As(I've been saving as PDF). There are heaps of free CDR files out there, like here: https://3axis.co/ So if you're looking for something new give it a shot.

certainly good work you do there. Just one thing though, wouldn't the yellow butterfly look better where the W is, instead of the O? It just looks out of place the way it is.

thanks. Grabbed a copy.

Here's one for you. It'd be the perfect day to choc coat a raw egg, or boiled, and wrap it as the real deal. You don't get this chance very often. You know you want to do it now that you've read this. It's stuck in your mind and you can see the funny side to it. Go on, be daring, do it.

So essentially you'd be looking for elongated patterns. That shouldn't present too much of a challenge. What subject would you like?

From what I could find out it's just a pattern cut into a log, that's had it face removed. I'd figure you'd remove the face with a bandsaw and possibly the back as well, if you wanted to layer it. I found this while looking:

Not sure yet. Strikes me as an interesting project. I was wondering how long it might take to do it. Every time I look at the picture I'm more interested in doing it. It would certainly get jaws flapping when people saw it.

Has anyone ever tackled the Tower of Time Clock: It looks like an interesting journey on the saw.

Awesome work you do there.

To stop the bleeding don't brush it on, use a sponge or something similar and wipe it on. Also, not that I've actually tried it but you could stain the piece of wood before you cut.

I think it's only because the site is still using HTTP and not HTTPS, the S being for secure. It's more to do with new browsers and security settings.

I have no idea about this type of saw but I've heard noises like that on mine when I have the tension spring to high. All of the loosening and tightening of the spring causes the top arm to get higher and it eventually clangs up against the body of the machine. Maybe you could try adjusting the tension. Just a thought.

The hyperlink button is just below the Size box. I have attached a screen shot.

I'm not sure about the fliptop, although they look pretty good. While looking around the WWW for one thing or another, I came across this image: Bench I would really like to build one of these one day, when I get in the right mood.

I've used that type before after buying a pin blade only saw. They seem to be good for a little while then they tend to go bad. This is especially true when you start using bigger blades for a period and you want to go back to a smaller blade. They forever strip the thread on whatever bolt you are using. I actually have one for the bottom blade holder on my saw at the moment. I got sick of the top one and went back to using one of these: http://www.nmatools.co.uk/uploads/Image/deco/Detail-SbHalter-eingespanntweb.jpg This type is great for top and bottom although the bottom one tends to fall off when you release the pressure. You can pack it with whatever to stop this from happening. If you go with something like this just remember not to over-tighten the lugs. If you don't have the original blade holder, that these things slip over, then you can whip something up to hold them. I ended up using an old spanner that came with one of the rotary tools I've had over the years and bent the tip up to slip the blade holder over. It's just bolted to the saw with a block of timber as a spacer. There is really nothing wrong with an El Cheapo scroll saw, as long as it holds your blades and feels good when you cut. I'm using an Ozito at the moment and that went for $130 the day I bought it. That was about 3 years ago.

Good job Dick, you done well.

Nude is good. As long as it's not going overboard. It seems to be something a lot of people shy away from for some reason but there is plenty of it out there. A lot of artists do nude, without being rude or offensive. Surely you wouldn't go into the Sistine Chapel and ask that they cover things up because you find it offensive.

I suppose someone could be labelled a master if they were to be highly skilled in every area of the hobby. There are so many different areas of scrolling and a lot of people, I'd imagine, don't get to try a lot of them. I've been cutting for 10 years now and only do Fret and Segmentation and Pattern designing. I've never tried Intarsia, Coin Cutting, Mother of Pearl, Model Building, Vinyl Records or any of the other things you could do with a saw, and I probably never will. Teaching others would also fall into the category, I'm still learning. I also suppose you could be labelled as a master if you wanted to be as long as there is no-one around who is better. Anyway, Scroller sounds better than Master.

You may want to also try home made stain or things that aren't normally for that purpose. Black shoe polish is supposedly good but I haven't tried that yet. Vinegar and steel wool make a good graying agent, something to do with the tannin's in the wood. Coffee, Tea or anything else that would normally stain other things, especially food dye. Personally I go for Feast Watson wood stain. They have a good range of wood shades and it's not overly expensive. Not sure if you get it in the USA though.
