Thank you Bob.

Thanks for the welcome! I think I have more than one clock on my flickr page. The one with the flower shape petal or the handsaw clock?

I was thinking the same,, 5X is too much. I, like you,, will also mount mine on something other than what the saw is setting on, which is why the one in my link caught my eye, it sits on the floor.

Been using reading glasses for about 2 years now, only at a 1.25 power, but you all know when scroll sawing you need a little more power...and light! What is a good clamp on or floor standing mag/light combo unit? I saw this one on Amazon,, anyone using this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G4TH1R6/?coliid=I3520MOFYVJMN2&colid=303SJ2KD79MP1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 Thanks for any and all help, Barry

Thank you, ma'am!

I'm pushing my luck with the wife on the price of a Dewalt, Ex-21 will lead to a divorce!

Much appreciated, but you can't see all of the mistakes in the pics! LOL

Thanks for the info, I will definitely check it out.

Thanks to all for the warm Welcomes. Been reading lots of threads. I have seen a few portraits of some Celebrities, and family members. I haven't tried to do any portraits yet. Where do you all get the patterns for these?

Devin, little more North. Deltona, just between Daytona and Orlando.

Just found your site a few weeks ago. Been busy reading all of the threads. Lots of good info here i am finding out. I come from a family that has always done construction or carpentry work. I am the first in my family that I know of that actually does woodworking. Took shop class for 4 years in high school back in the late '80's up in Illinois. Move to Florida in '89 and bought some tools here and there and dabbled in woodworking. Gave it up for many years and started back up a couple of years ago when I dusted off the old Craftsman scrollsaw and tried to do a pattern I found online, that is when I realized the difference between pinned blades and pinless blades. Bought a Porter Cable from Lowe's and it has served me well for about the last 3 years but it is starting to have issues. Thinking about getting a Dewalt. I just posted a short video of my shop in the Shop Challenge thread and here is a link to my flickr page that has some of my projects on it. Can't wait to get back to reading all of the posts on the Scroll Saw Village! https://www.flickr.com/photos/flarud1/

I am having the same problems that you mentioned. The wife doesn't believe me because the saw doesn't do it when she is in the shop! I am also leaning towards the Dewalt.

Howdy guys/gals,, just found your site recently. I know this is an old thread but I enjoyed looking at everyone else's shops and thought that I would post a short video of mine. Hope the link works.
