    There isn't much to wear out on a jointer—a couple of bearings and the blades.

    That got my attention. I have an older Delta with a bag filter that I want to change to a paper filter. No one makes a filter for it, so I am going to be watching this one closely.

    This is 40 or more years old. It has been hanging on the wall everywhere we have lived since. It was made from pallet wood and one of the first things I cut on a scroll saw. I'm living this today with my grandchildren.

    The business kit from Travis is a much better deal.

    I have traced many patterns directly on the wood with a pencil. As soon as I could scan and print paper patterns, I stopped. Pencil lines are hard to see on anything but light-colored wood. I made templates to trace from thin materials, and if I wanted a different size, I had to start over. It worked okay for simple things, but I can't imagine tracing anything complex working out well. There is storing and organizing all the templates.

    I've done that a lot. I think I still have some 1-inch square paper for doing that.

    Spiral blades are unsuitable for puzzles as the kerf is much too wide. I use a Pegas #3 for puzzels.

    Why does it suck?

    I have made several from glued-up pieces. This one is made from some salvaged drawer parts.

    I am about 1/4 mile from I-10. I probably would have stayed in the Air Force for 30 years, but I was denied reenlistment in one of the big downsizings they did in the early 1990s.

    LEDs use a lot less electricity have little or no flicker instant on, even in cold weather produce better quality light environmentally friendly (No mercury) and no trips to hazardous waste disposal dimmable they are small and easy to install I have been changing to LEDs for a long time. I replaced fluorescent ceiling lights in my shop with LEDs. The fixtures are 1-inch wide and 48 inches long, and they daisy chain together, so I have a continuous. I got 3 times the light and, instant on at full brightness, reduced the cost of electricity by about 25%.

    It must be nice. Where I live, there is the constant roar of traffic.

    When mounting a new blade in my EX21 or Pegas saw, I tighten the clamps and flip the tension lever on and off. If the blade is not inserted perfectly vertically, there will be a bow in the untensioned blade. If I see a bow, I release and retighten one of the clamps and the bow goes away. If you get it inserted perfectly there is no bow.

    I carefully aligned my EX21 to parallel the table and never touched the knob again. I have never had an issue using anything from #1r to #9r mgt blades. The same holds true for my Pegas saw.

    They are mounted with magnets. The lamps come with adhesive-backed metal plates that you can put on nonmetal (plastic) surfaces. They stay put.

    The angle is not set correctly. Lots of scroll saw bowel videos here.

    I use sewing machine lights. They are cheap, effective, and very versatile. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088ZBPNPH/ I have two magnifying lamps. I don't use them for scrolling; I find them annoying.

    I use pegas MGT almost exclusively, and I have never seen them twist. This looks more like a bend than a twist.

    This looks like it might be a good buy. It's too far away for me, and I don't have room for it. Facebook Market Place

    Grim Reaper In A Potion Bottle I made this one larger—about five inches wide. These are a pain to make, mainly because the three layers don't match size-wise or shape, and I have to do a lot of sanding and filing to smooth the edges. My grandson claimed this one on sight.

    I have these, and I like them mainly because they don't get crushed if I step on them. I have four.

    I saw this video and added it to my wish list for or when my current system dies. https://rumble.com/v5hohn7-harbor-freight-just-changed-budget-dust-collection-forever.html

    I have some plastic test tubes that fit the holders on my EX-21.

    This time, it's bats in a bottle.

    I have the Klingspor MAC Mop and the Klingspor Sanding Mop. The Mop is less aggressive and leaves a smoother feeling finish. I think mine are also 240 grit.
