    Good luck, and I hope you have a complete recovery.

    I did not know that trick...so thanks for the tip!

    I sure hope so. I am curious how it cracked though...I know it wasn't cracked when she got it, and I know it didn't crack when I was working on it.

    This is the piece I made for my wife for our anniversary. I decided that I would do some filing on it tonight, but when I picked it up I noticed that it seemed to be flexing far too easily. Closer inspection revealed this crack that goes all the way across the back of it and almost entirely through. I think I'll try to fix it with some Titebond wood glue tomorrow and hold it in place with some small clamps...and a lot of hoping.

    Thanks for the wonderful welcome and the kind words. She did indeed love it!

    I've been thinking of building one of these for my deck, but I can only hope that if I do build one it would look as nice as yours. Really looks good!

    Man, that tree of life is spectacular. I like the others too, but that tree really stands out.

    Looks darn nice to me!

    Wow! Both because it's a beautiful piece, and also because it took you only three hours to do. Looks like a whole lot of drilled holes to put a blade through...you must fly cutting those lines!

    Very nice! How long did it take? I'm a newbie...what size blade did you use on wood that delicate?

    Looks like JC to me...good job.

    Wow, that's a busy bench, but it looks like it saves a lot of wall space.

    This is the kind of information that us newbies can really use. I've read quite a bit on scrolling forums lately, and this is the first mention of raising the rear of the saw that I've seen. I think I'll need to try it and see if I like it.

    I'm a new scroller, using an old 16" Tradesman saw that I bought for $10 on Craigslist. I live in southern Maine. My hobbies include upgrading my house, my four kids and seven grandkids, woodworking, bass fishing, beer brewing and bicycle riding. I mostly retired a year ago. So far I've made two things on my scroll saw, this is the most recent and was an anniversary gift for my wife this week. I enjoyed making it, though it did make me really want a new saw! I still need to file and sand a bit and then put a finish on it. It's not attached to the base yet so that I can more easily finish it. I'm looking forward to a lot more scrolling.
