  1. A good shop vac should have sufficient vacuum to pull through two hoses. Something like 3/4" pvc as the main line should work and then your table top line would be something smaller and more flexible and easy to maneuver.
  2. Here is what I did for above table dust removal on my Hawk. I removed the blower pipe and added a 1/2" line that connected to the main vacuum line. This new line utilizes the original hold down hardware except for the foot. I can raise and lower the line to match board thickness and the line sits almost immediately behind the blade and is close enough to vacuum anything coming off the blade or even that would sit on the work. I started with a shop vac but then transitioned to an old junked Dyson floor vacuum cleaner that was repurposed out of my neighbors garbage carrier into my dust collector.
  3. Those guys at Bushton don't seem to miss an opportunity do they?
  4. Thank you one and all. I appreciate the time you take to respond to these sorts of questions. Scroll Saw Village is the best.
  5. Page 22, NOEL with a snowflake in the O. The Materials and Tools note says to use a #5 blade on the snowflake and the snowflake is not removable, it's anchored in 4 spots. I realize my skills are not yet up to doing the snowflake but even if they were, I don't think I could do this with a #5 blade, maybe a #1? I just can't wrap my head around a #5 blade here. What is your opinion on it? I would post a picture but I'm not sure of the copyright rules. Opinions on the this too.
  6. High - Completing what I consider a tricky to cut piece. Low - Really messing up the above mentioned tricky to cut piece when I try to do it a second time. Stevan - Still the novice.
  7. From my experience (and I still consider myself a novice), the Pegasus is a more aggressive cutting blade than a Flying Dutchman so it cuts a little faster than I am comfortable with (or maybe it just cuts faster than I can).
  8. Wow, just Wow.
  9. This is something to be proud of. Great job.
  10. Me. Too. I suffer from CRC (Can't Remember Crap).
  11. That's pretty cool.
  12. Nice work and a very nice sentiment.
  13. This guy shows how to build retractable caster for heavy equipment. I used his concept and put my Hawk on a set up just like he shows. Retractable Casters
  14. Clean up is not bad. The paper usually just peels off just like a stencil.
  15. I make a stack sandwich. A layer of wood, then a layer of paper with spray on adhesive on both sides, then a layer of wood and then another layer of paper with spray on adhesive on both sides, repeat as necessary. I will then also overlap my painters tape over the sides to the bottom of the stack.
  16. I be liking me some of those Pegas #3 and #5 MG blades too!
  17. Like I said, they look perfect. Nice work.
  18. I paid $350 for my 20+ year old Hawk. It was the original owner and he said that it might have 5 hours of use on it in that 20+ years.
  19. That is pretty impressive. Do you precut the circular disks or is that part of the scrolling process? They look perfect.
  20. Looks like he is using a Dewalt 788!
  21. My daughter is 41 and my grandkids are 15 and 12 respectively, so we don't get many grandkid items to put on the refrigerator anymore. However, when I scrolled my very first lop-sided star, my wife put a magnet on it and put in on the fridge door!
  22. I agree with knncrafts. A phone call would work much better. I have not had much luck with just an email, sort of hit or miss with their reply.
