I did the same, One is sitting in my shop half made, 4 or 5 plans of different styles are there as well, all printed up ready to go but me.

I just made a Santa ornament and the actuating lines are narrower then the drill bit needed to start, the smallest i have are 1/16 . If you go smaller how do you get the blade threaded, I can barley get the blade in as is. What am I missing. Not good but here is pic of the ornament.

I did one, made from 3/4" oak, walnut bowtie, painted, cedar nose, painted. Stands about 8 1/2" High. Was fun, thanks for pattern. Carl

I put mineral oil on mine 50 years ago, use them all the time. nothing ever happened. We don't go from the stove to trivet all the time. We put hot food in bowls and serving plates to protect wood table and Formica counter top, that what trivets are made for. Also that is why they are slotted, so as to dissipate heat.

I have the Dewalt 735. I buy all my lumber rough cut, accept a small amount of pine. I had it for at least 10 years, love it.

Very nice. I make boxes, I saw the scroll saw box plans but thought things would fall out or not be private. I never thought that a liner would be used, that changes everything. I will have to try one. Nice work. Carl

My basement shop is warm in the winter and cool in the summer... But those stairs are the beast, and to think i used to fly up those stairs 2-3 steps at a time.

Geez, you can still move it ??? Great, I will be 77 before the year ends and dread the thought of moving those heavy floor models. Jointer. TS. Sooo I will just wait till they move me.

I think if you would conduct poll, you would find out that most who have a scroll saw also have a bandsaw and table saw and miter saw, unless you just want to cut plywood's. me thinks. Good luck on your search

Finished this the other day, have not done much yet since i got my used hawk scroll saw. Got tied up with other things. Hope to do a lot more looking forward. A Steve Good pattern worked out fine. I have to do the finish yet. I am all out of spray poly.

I have a Hawk 226 since September, bought it for 200$. Was looking at HF, Wen , and others. I know it is over 25 years but looks brand new. After i bought it i looked at the others and they look like toys. I would try to get the price down some, seems high/ Great saw though, have no regrets

I have one of those old fashion machinist vices with wood grips replacing the metal ones, I clamp small parts, and sand by hand. that may work. Carl

cool.. Like it.

Keep at it, you'll get the hang of it.. Really nice work.... Carl

Mine is just as good as yours. Thanks for posting, that helps. Carl
