    Thanks for your comment. I am pleased with saw, it performed beautifully. I think i used the wrong blade though, i should have used the 5 Olson instead of the 7, I was really struggling trying to thread the drilled holes. But it was just practice. Carl

    Welcome, I am new to. Been working wood since age 25, when i got married 1st time. Made cabinets, furniture. Then the last 15 years switched to woodturning in a effort to scale back, and stop the back bending work. That is why i am going to take up scrolling and wood burning . My shop is in the basement, cool in summer and warm in winter. I will be 76 before the year ends, so i move slower. I am interested in inlay cutting, i thought that would be neat to apply to some boxes i make now and again. Maybe you can rig up some kind of AC for your shop so you can play longer. Regards Carl

    My first little project on the new to me hawk scroll saw. I started thinking about scrolling just before last Easter and printed this pattern off of Steve Good's site. Kinda crude but i will improve, learned a lot. I have not used a scroll saw since the early 70's. Nothing like this, back then it was just furniture parts. I have a long way to go. I really like this saw even if it is 25-30 years old. Most of my stuff is from early nineties and earlier

    Well I just bought a hawk 226vs, for 225$. After about many months of following these forums i thought i was going to buy a cheapo HF, Wen , something like that, but i paid a little more for some old iron. I hope it doesn't turn into a boat anchor. I have it in the garage right now , i just brought it home and cleaned it up some. It looks almost new, no dings ,scratches. It looks like it was not used much. The blade on it was bent, very very thin blade many teeth. So i have to get some more blades. I have been working wood now for 55 years, i think i worked myself up to a beginner. The saw will live in my basement where it is warm in winter and cool in summer. But i have to wait till my step son comes over to help me carry it down. Hope he brings is son who is part gorilla, what a guy. Pics will follow, my phone is charging. I will be calling on you guys for help. Thanks, Carl
