  1. Its my understanding that Klingspor's Woodworking Stores carry the Pegas in stock at some of their stores be worth giving them a call. I was looking at picking one up when I was up in that area on vacation but ended up finding a used one down here in Florida.
  2. Selling my 22 inch Henger. Runs great very quiet and no vibration. New bellows and air lines installed last year. No issues just don't use it. Located in Lake Placid FL. Asking $600
  3. I pull a 5x8 utility trailer behind my truck. If the show area is on a street or open area where I can get the trailer in and out pretty easy I just pull up to our booth If not we use the garden cart linked below. All of our products are in bins which makes it easy. We use this garden cart and it just stays in the trailer. We can usually haul everything with 2 trips using this cart. https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-mesh-deck-steel-wagon-60359.html
  4. Please post the address I'm in Lake Placid about 3 hours away but usually make it up that way a couple times a year and for sure will stop by to check this place out.
  5. Fellow Zombie here try some different blades if you're having to do sanding. Have never had to sand a puzzle. I use the Pegas Modified Geometry size #3. Maybe give them a try.
  6. Anyone ever see the shipping labels but in legal size. Most of my patterns I enlarge to fit on legal paper.
  7. Updated Title to show delivery option in a couple of weeks otherwise will be trying to scrap them
  8. I also use this site. If I find something I like I will do some google searches to find out more information on it instead of paying the fee. https://www.fairsandfestivals.net/ Also search for vendor groups on Facebook. Example in Florida there is one called Vendors Florida Group where promoters will post their events. Just do some due diligence because there are scammers out there.
  9. Ok update guys still have the saws. I will be coming to Tennessee the weekend of October 9th. If anyone between Central Florida and Tennessee wants both of these saws lets try to work something out.
  10. I'm the one with the G4 and a 226VS for sale here in Florida feel free to msg me for details.
  11. Looks good when you do the floor mix in some sand with the paint to help out on those rainy show days been a life saver for us. I also put a 5 foot piece of etrack down the side wall to let me tie down my saw or if I'm hauling anything else that I'm standing up
  12. They mainly break in the lower to middle area.
  13. Posted awhile back about production cutting saw and overwhelming many said a Hegner. After some searching I found a used 22V great shape. Came with all paperwork and had the quick clamp installed already. Had to buy new bellows and upgraded to the air line kit also. All total I got about $450 in it between what I paid and parts so still have a good deal. My struggle is breaking blades which I know is a tension issue. My question is about the blade when inserting it into the top quick clamp it goes farther than the clamp you could say. Is that normal? If not is there a adjustment? Picture of what I'm trying to explain attached. I prefer to use Pegas #3 or #5 blades and have bought the smaller bottom clamp sizes for the #3 blade but still getting a lot of breaks. I've messed around with the tension watched the YouTube videos and such just struggling with blade breaks and wondering if I need to adjust something for the blade to go into the top clamp correctly. Also what's the best oil to use on it I see where it has the couple of oil areas on the main bearings you could say.
  14. Just had to do the same thing about a year ago. To many bins of puzzles in the SUV along with tent and tables so we had to get a 5x8 cargo trailer. Same here on my end wouldn't be possible without @Iguanadon and all his tips and tricks. @new2woodwrk I'm in Lake Placid right in the center of the state and mainly do shows along the east coast and some west coast what's your best sellers in the panhandle? Mine down here are 1. Sharks 2. Trex 3. Mermaid 4. Unicorn
  15. you can order the custom patterns for those from Iggy (Scott) on here. Those patterns are drawn by Harvey Byler and Scott works directly with him on doing custom ones. I've had probably 20 drawn last couple years. Check out his site www.woodcraftbyscott.com
  16. Things have been pretty busy doing shows and figured I'd share some of the newest things we've created. Me and the wife and oldest daughter all cut and we do 30+ crafts how's a year here in Florida. During the cooler months from October - April you can usually do a big 2-4 day show every weekend if you wanted to. This past weekend we did a Strawberry Fest (2day event) and it was a record weekend broke my gross sales record (4day event) by $200 so it was a great weekend and it seems things are running good and back to normal here in Florida. Just keeping up with inventory some days can be stressful while working fulltime jobs still but we're having fun and making money together as a family so it isn't to bad. Cutting so much I had to come up with a bigger drying rack for puzzles. On average we're cutting 50 puzzles a week. Thank fully the Florida sun has been out so they dry pretty quick. We did a Strawberry Fest last weekend and they asked everyone have a Strawberry related item for sale. I work at a high school and talked with one of the students in art class and she drew me a pattern for a strawberry puzzle. Turned out great and now she's drawing a few other items for me and she's happy because she's making some extra spending money. I have a Seafood Festival in May and a good friend suggested I cut some fish out so did some Google images searches for a redfish and snook and we cut them out he came up with the idea of mounting them on some wood with dowel rods and they turned out awesome. Also cut some bigger fish around 25 inches long as wall hangers and they went over well just done have any pics.
  17. If you're on Facebook be sure to join the Facebook Group dedicated to this saw. Just search Delta 36-725 owners and it should come up. loads of little tips and tricks about that saw. Also a guy on there sells a motor upgrade kit you could call it that fixes most of the motor problems some have with the saw.
  18. Kevin I think I will give that a try called Dewalt and they are sending a new saw and told me to just keep the old one. Do you know if there is a source to buy a rebuild kit per say for them?
  19. If you were going to purchase a new saw for production cutting 5+ hours a day 5 days a week what would you buy. Does anyone use the Pegas saw for this type of cutting if so how is it? Dewalts seem to be wearing out on me bought a new one December 2019 and its about done already. I know they can be rebuilt but don't want it to be a yearly thing. I'd like something that I'd get 3-5 years at least of heavy operation out of before having issues.
  20. Don thank you so much for creating these patterns for me they are great. The wife cut out the home one yesterday and one of us will be cutting out the Okeechobee one in the next day or so want to get a wider board. Again thank you and if I owe you anything please let me know.
  21. First time asking for some help so let me know if I need to provide any information and I'd gladly Paypal some one a some money to create these for me. I had a request from a Boutique I sell my puzzles in for some local items. Its located in Okeechobee Florida and I'd like to make some wall hangers like the Ohio one pictured. If possible for one to say (home) and another to say (Okeechobee). would need the outline wide enough to attach a sawtooth hanger hook on the back. Attached is a outline of the lake. Thank you in advance for any help
