  1. Like most everyone else around here, I started with Steve's patterns. He lived and worked here in Lexington until just a few years ago and was just a few miles from my house. Sadly, I never got the chance to meet him in person. Steve truley was an icon in the scroll saw universe. He will be missed.
  2. This is a Dyson that I picked up off the curb about 10 years ago. It has hundreds of hours on it and no telling how old it was when I picked it up.
  3. Impressive!
  4. Thank You. I didn't even know what to call it!
  5. I'm looking for a tutorial for inkscape that will show me how to make (do?) letters within letters similar to this image (downloaded from Schrollsawvillage). I'm okay with inkscape, I just can't figure how to do this one. So if you've done a tutorial or know where one exists, I would certainly appreciate a link. Merry Christmas!!! Edit: After putting this thread in here, I did realize that it should probably be in Pattern Making.
  6. And thank you to everyone who responed!
  7. Hi Gang. I know this thread is about 6 months old but I'm looking for a new stool so I just typed in "stool" in the search bar and this thread popped up. My question is, if you get a stool like the one just above me with a foot rest all around the bottom, how do you work your on/off foot pedal?
  8. I think you would be okay. If you're in doubt and don't want to drill the mounting holes, perhaps try clamping the saw in place first.
  9. Just an FYI, I just bought a couple of patterns. I figure it's the least we can do to help out Alex. Wish we could do more.
  10. Nice. I had a 20+ year old Hawk and was very pleased with the performance. Im sure a brand new one will be awesome!
  11. Thanks Kevin. I’ve been out a while and this is my 2021 re-entry.
  12. More power to you and may you enjoy this second retirement, too!
  13. A Steve Good pattern. And Mimi the Beagle says "MERRY CHRISTMAS"!
  14. Got one when I bought the heater. Thanks.
  15. Thanks again mates. I did not think about google to find the answer, I thought you all would have some real life experience that you could relay to me.
  16. Hey Gang. I've got another question for you all that is again, due to my lack of experience in this area. I have an unopened gallon of kerosene to use in my kerosene heater that is at least 2 1/2 years old, if not not 3. Can I still use it in my heater? I bought it the same time I bought my heater and have just not used either of them yet. As always, thank you in advance and I appreciate any and all comments. Steve
  17. Pegas

    Laugh

    Very nice and a great sentiment.
  19. Thanks gang!
  20. Half of the finished product. Steve Good design, Padauk, sealed with clear enamel (spray can) and about six # 5 Pegas MGT bladed and three #3 MGT blades.
  21. Thanks mates.
  22. Can I use padauk to make napkin holders? I’m using Steve’s Goods halloweennapkin.pdf pattern and I’m worried the wood may be too irritating from the stories I’ve read about it. We won’t be eating it but the napkins will be in contact with the wood and then they would be in contact with lips and face. As always, thanks in advance.
  23. I started out with a 25 year old Hawk and while it was great, I moved onward (and upward) to a Pegas. I think there is no comparison between the two, the (New) Pegas simply blows away the (25 year old) Hawk. But as everyone else had pointed out, Your Mileage May Vary. Good luck!
  24. So I did a little experiment with the two bucket system. Using the Lowe's bucket as the collection bucket, I place said Lowe's bucket in another bucket (like a 5 gallon paint bucket) and the Lowe's bucket no longer collapses. YMMV but this is working for me right now and my vacuum is just an old repurposed Hoover upright so no Major suction value.
