    @don in brooklin on the Excelsior KXL21/100 is a contender and available within an hour drive. I’m in the Lower Laurentians. I also see it advertised at $999 pedal included and online at Atlas-Machinery located just west of you for the same price. Going to wait it out to see if anyone has a Boxing Day special as I missed the Black Friday deals.

    @FrankEVlooks like Dennis has gone through some tough days lately. For 12 days, I was sick, entered ER and hospital diagnosed with Covid19. After 14 days quarantine, I am back in the saddle at ArtCrafters if only for short days. 11 am to 2 pm eastern time Tuesday through Friday.

    Very intricate work. Might be overwhelming for a newbie. I wonder how he transforms images into stencils!

    As I'm approaching retirement age in a few years (probably never retire), I started to buy a few woodworking tools for basic carpentry needs. As I was exploring bandsaws and realizing that I wont be making kitchen cabinets anytime soon and my need for resawing may be quite limited, I started looking at scroll saws and discovering all the cool little stuff I could be making for the grand kids. I could likely use a scroll saw to shape the contours of furniture armchairs (Adirondack chairs) and create patterns in the seat back or arms. I've been doing some research on scroll saws. I'm set on a flat table and moving arm. And all the brands of moving arms seem to be made by the same manufacturer in Taiwan except the whole confusion about the name and unit built by GI in China - Excalibur / Excelsor. Great article on this community which is what brought me here in the first place and I've discovered a wealth of information. Noteworthy, Pégas scroll saw isn't on your list of scroll saws - and the optional long table (more room in front of the blade is a strong contender.). For me, Seyco is out because they don't have the rack and pinion tilt and I can't see myself fussing around to make angle adjustments or building a rack and pinion like Steve Good has done. Still need to look at Jet, ... and maybe others. Excited at the possibilities and love those 3D scrollsaw designs. Stay safe everyone! J-M
