lol Your right, and spike puts me to shame...hes 10 years older then me and is in perfect health! all he takes is one bp med a day, where as i have like 10 different scripts I have to remember to take everyday....I was so happy when the pharmist told me I could just take them all at the same time as i was always forgetting to take the noon and evening meds. spike did what you guys said and unfrountly it didnt fix the problem.....Im thinking maybe if we take that part off and jiggle it around again and then replace the part we take off with that peice from one of the other saws maybe we'd be back in busness. Not that i'll be in the wood shop for awhile even if we do get it working as i seem to have caught a chest cold....to me its just annoying but spike says I should be coughing stuff up....and from the sounds of it my chest is all conjested.... hes such a worry wort bless his little heart....lol

yes that is excetly what is happening.... Spike will take a look at it tomarrow and check out the sight. and i'll see if i can watch so i'll know and understand whats happening and how to fix it. Hopefuly nothing will ever happen to spike but he'll be 75 in may and someday I might be alone. I know how to do a lot of things, IF things arent on to tight for me to get off. lol I had a flat tire once and I had the car jacked up and was trying to get the lug nuts off, a guy in a truck passed me just as i had my hand on the trunk and was jumping on jack to try to get one of the lug nuts off...He turned around and came back and asked me are you trying to kill yourself!!! NEVER JUMP on a jack like that!! lol then he took the flat off and put the spair on for me.... I know things have to be tight but gezz we cant do the things we know how to do IF things are so tight we cant get them off. lol and now its just about my bedtime. pictures tomarrow and thank you to everybody!!

lol ok we'll take pictures tomarrow of what is going on. what seems to be happening is that the long yellow arm of the saw isnt going down far enough so that the blade dosent reach the top clamp. In all the years iv been scrolling iv never run into a proublem like this. We still have 2 dewalts set up...spike took the 3d one apart and stored the parts so they can be used to try to get one of the saws working...

Sounds good. I'll have spike read what N C scroller wrote and see if spike wants to take a look at the sight and then decide if he wants to take a look at it... He uses utube to check out how to do things with his tracker so maybe he can do the same with the scroll saw, either way waiting is not a problem. worse comes to worse and i get all the unfinished projects done I can always go to my sons house and borrow my grandsons scroll saw to cut out a few of things. lol iv always got things in different stages of progress i can work on. It drives spike crazy when ever you have the time just let me know. just watched the vido and yes that dosnt look hard at all, although im not sure how that effects the long arm from going down far enough so the blad wont be to short....lol but hey i dont have to understand. lol

thinks! finnish birch, ok got it i'll have to see if they sell it around here at lows or home depot

Thanks every one! kmmcrafts, lives in the same village as we do, perhaps he could check the saws out, id gladly pay him. Spike knows a lot about a lot of different things but the scroll saw is not one of them. I dont think he had ever even heard of a scroll saw before he came here. lol me i just want a scroll saw that will work!! lol at least now we have some options so hopefuly i'll have a useable scroll saw sometime before summer ends! lol just waiting for kmmcrafts to get back to me and see what he wants to do. I dont want to inconvience him

love it!! great job!

totaly stunning!!! Now what wood did you use? I was told I need to use a better grade of balta burch when im doing fret work with that much detail, which is why when i try something that delaget it winds up breaking

That is simply beautiful!! how many layers does it have?

i agree you did a wounderful job with this !! I also think some kind of grass or lines at the bottom of the bufflo would make it even more beautiful!

or spike said maybe you could look at the old one and see if you could fix it and how much it would cost....we're opened to what ever you want to do

The old one i had just stoped working...not sure why so spike went on facebook markit place and got me another DeWalt. The guy bought it for his father in law but his father in law soon lost intrest in it so it was just sittinig...now i know why his father in law lost intrest for some reason this one wont take a 5 inch spiral scroll saw blade, i dont know if it would take the fret blades or not...spike can put 2 blades together and i can use it that way...but its not great for fretwork or smaller projects. if you fix scroll saws we have my old dewalt sitting in the gragre if youd rather trade. the one in the wood shop now spike uses i dont know what blades he found to use in it, there rather big so he can use it for building stuff..(which would be good for me as when he uses mine i need him to take his blade out so i can put mine in lol his hand tight is a lot tighter then mine lol).it just dosnt work for what i use it for. I would defently be interested in buying either one of the saws your planning to sell! I had cut out a lot of stuff to pratice my wood carving on before the dewalt died so iv been pratceing my carving but im nearing the end of those....still no rush as it takes time for me to finish a peace. And yes we live in the same town!!! Yea!! you can email me with you phone # and address or i can email you mine when your ready to sell one of the saws. It will be nice to be able to do some scrolling again lol

Well it looks like im going to have to buy a new scroll saw....Im looking for a price range between 500 and 600 dollars. any suggestions?

beautiful

Awsome!! i espicaly like the lights

simply beautful...you had a great idea and made it come alive!! what a great way to put all your skills and talient together!

that is one of the most beautiful peices i have ever seen!! I love roses and maybe next spring i'll try planting some again. spike has a bad habit of mowing anything that dosnt have a fence of some sort around it ...maybe i'll try t roses next year instead of bushes....a small fence around t roses wouldnt look bad. Thank goodness my climbing roses are large enough to see!! although i need to get a trellus up for those... been looking for a nice trellice pattern....the winterfield collection has a nice angle one...actually thats really the only pattern iv seen for one.....best do a google search

very stunning peace!!

now that is fantastic!!! I might just have to dig out some john wayne videos tonight! iv always love that man lol

nice!! been awhile since iv done any puzzles....humm might have to start looking through my vast collection of patterns lol

simply stunning!!! your wife is indeed a lucky woman

beautiful! I envy all you people who can make your own patterns!!! The best i can do is take parts from different patterns and put them together to make something new lol

yes im sure she was lol but like you i keep plugging away and just enjoy doing the crafts... spike keeps telling me i should simply work on just one project at a time. Right now im sewing 2 reglious playmats....crocheting graphed dish/wash rags, as well as winter hats and i have 2 knob doors and windos to sand and then finish not sure how im going to do that... leave them unstained unpainted or stain or paint them some small knob compound cuts to cut out as well as as a folder full of patterns ready to put on wood. now if i just had the energy to do it all!! lol iv found a ton of things to make for people for christmas and since i am so slow these days im starting early lol

nice peaces i espically like mingo....iv always love that show.

great cutting very nice
