I get a sinus infection every time I work with walnut.

Merry Christmas to you too Ray

Merry Christmas everyone

Started out with a Ryobi. Made quite a few things with it. Like JT I was at a woodworking show and they were demonstrating RBI. Tried one out and bought it at the show. That was back in 1996 and it still runs like new.

No scrollsaw injuries but I do have one finger that’s flatter on the end than the others because of a homemade disc sander. Trying to sand a small piece of wood on it. I knew better but I was in a hurry. That’s when accidents happen.

I purchased my 226vs at Splinterfest in the Amana Colonies Iowa in 1996. It has had a lot of use and still works great.

Beautiful piece

I have to agree with Jt I would be lost without my planer. I too have a woodshop with all the tools I need to mill rough cut lumber because I build other things. I resaw and plane down all my scrollsaw wood to the thickness I need. Most of my tools are Jet and were bought in the late 90s new. My planer is a late 90s Dewalt 733 and I have never had a problem with it.

That’s good price for that saw. Doesn’t look like it’s been used much

I have been having good luck with the Masterforce tools from Menards. They seem to be a step up from Harbor Freight and about the same price. I bought a cordless drill driver set on Black Friday 7years ago and it’s still going strong and I use it a lot. Just bought a RO sander to replace a 2 year old Craftsman that shot craps. The dust collector on it is like a mini cyclone so far it’s working good very little dust in the air while sanding.

Welcome from Iowa. Here is my packers clock In I made out of clock parts I had laying around. Keep at it and you’ll get better and better.

You are very talented Frank.@

Congratulations

Try Sears parts direct they might have it

Merry Christmas to all on the village
