Boy, that is one nice looking candy dish. Jerry

Really neat Barb. Jerry

Those are really neat Dan. Your grandson is going to have many hours of fun playing with them. Little boys love dinosaurs. After he has outgrown tje, I bet he will keep and cherish them and remember that he helped Granpa make them. Jerry

Welcome to the Village from Colorado. You will find scrolling and this sight are both very addictive. Jerry

Going to search Steve's catalog. I like it. Nice cutting Pete. Jerry

Hi Ken, welcome to the village from Colorado. You have come to the right place. Folks here are willing and able to help you. When I first became a member I viewed many of older posts and have learned from these. Scrolling and this web site both are very additive. Enjoy. Jerry

Dan, this is one of the most beautiful and unique crosses I have ever seen. Nice cutting. Is this pattern available any place? Jerry

WOW!! Very nice Tyler. Jerry

Hey, that really looks nice Paul. You did an excellent job. Jerry

Looks good to me even with big store ply wood. Goes to show you don't always have to purchase the expensive stuff. Jerry

If you want to use the BladeRunner as a scrol saw, DON'T. It is basically a Jig Saw mounted upside down. Blades are jig saw blades. I bought mine because I thought I could use it like a table saw. Thought it was a good idea. Not so good. At leaset I didn't spend a lot of money on it. Was about $80.00 at Lowes. That was about 10 years ago. Does OK cutingt thin boards, no thicker than 1/2 inch. I tried cutting a 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inch square of pine with it. Did OK till I got close to the end, than BANG bout broke my hand and scared the bjibbers out of me. Haven't used it since. That was about 2 years ago. Jerry

If you want to talk and learn, you are in the right place. Welcome to SSV from Colorado. Jerry

Cool!!!

Nice find Wichita. Jerry

Welcome from Colorado. Jerry

Looks like I remember it Robert. Nice job. After fulfilling my commitment to the Air Force I joined the reserve unit at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. I was on the crew that took the dis-mantled A-10 to New York for testing. Got a nice pin and picture from the developers of the A-10. Also got to spend a nice couple of days in New York City on this trip. Jerry

I sit on a fairly high stool, with foot pedal on floor my legs get sore. One day while in Lowes I found a couple of folding stools, bought 2 of them. One to rest my left foot on and the other to attach foot pedal to. I am now more comfortable. See attached photos. Stools are 8 1/2" high, 8 1/2"deep, 12" wide. Jerry

I really like what you've done Norm. Jerry

WOW Frank. The recipient of this gift is going to be impressed. What you do with wood is magical. I'm sure it will be in a very prominent place in the home. Jerry

Welcome to the village from Colorado. You will find scrolling as well as this site very addictive. Jerry

I really like this. Reminds me of some of the things my mom had hanging on the wall. By any chance do you still have the pattern? Jerry

Very true. Jerry

These look great. Jerry

I grew up on the farm. This takes me back. This is great. Whoever receives this is going to have fun. Jerry

I followed Rick @Hudson River Rick post on the tension spring and what to do with it. Also saw Kevin's @kmmcrafts remarks for maintaining our scroll saws. I have a Pegas scroll saw for almost 3 years now and have never done any maintenance to it other than keeping it clean. Owners manual has nothing on maintenance. My question what can we do to keep our machines running smoothly? You say to spray some kind of lubricant on moving parts. I have silicone spray and also a dry lubricant. Which is best to use? Also, my biggest question is, what do you spray since most parts are covered. I grew up on a farm and my dad was a big proponet on keeping things librucated with either oil or grease, but that was easy to do because everyting was visible. Not much is visible on my scroll saw and I am one that is afraid to tear things down. Maybe point out where to spray lubricant. I understand on the thumb screst just putting it on the threads and not the tips. I would assume to spary a litten on paper towel then applying the spray on the paper towel. Other than that, I am puzzled what to do. Thanks, Jerry
