Just don't tell your wife that you will never ask for another thing. They have memories like an elephant. Take my word for it. Jerry

It's amazing what can be done with a tiny blade and some nice wood. Nice cutting. Jerry

WOW, that is something I never thought of. We need to pay heed. I remember as a kid I would purposely try to burn paper with a magnifying glass. Successfully burned the paper. I was outside and just had the paper on the ground. When I finally succeeded did't try it anymore. Thanks for the warning. Jerry

Hey Edward, I like it. Jerry

Seems just like yesterday I played that game. Boy, we had good times when we were kids. Nice curring Kris, very nice cutting. Jerry

I didn't mess around with scroll saws that the big box stores were selling. I went directly to a RBI 216VS. My Father-in-law and brothers-in-law were avid woodworkers. Father-in-law and one brother-in-law used band saws, the other brother-in-law had a Hegner and did many collaspable baskets to begin with. All looked interesting to me but after studing about scroll saw and attending home shows where there was always a RBI dispaying there wares. I knew I coutdn't afford one. My wife and I would go be various carft fairs when they were a thing and there were several scroll saw artisits there. Not many craft fairs any more. I inherited a little bit of money and my wife allowed me to purchase the RBI. Since I didn't know better, attaching the blade was not an issue because I thouhgt this was the way of all scroll saws. When using the saw I figured I couln't use it like a table saw. Besides, I couldn't cut a straight line to save my sole. Occassionally would fire it up. My first project was cutting my name and my wifes name. Turned out OK. Then I cut some names for my fellow employees. Was a waste of money, didn't use it much more. I retired 10 years ago and decided to get serious and practice. Finally got used to it and got pretty good and did a lot of cutting on it for 8 years. Then decided to take advantage of new technology and purchased a Pegas. I really liked both. Decided to give my RBI to my brother. He had a Roybi that he was using. He took my RBI and hasn't even plugged it in and has pretty much lost his enthusiasm to scroll saw. Long story short, I should have kept my RBI for a backup. Jerry

You have every right to be pleased. It looks great. Jerry

I wait every year for these to show up. I do the same in the spring waiting for the hummingbirds. Looking good. Jerry

As always, I enjoyed the video. I always learn something. One question for you Tyler, "Where did the summer go?". Jerry

It's an addictive hobby Jimmy. I'm caught up in it too. Jerry

Annie, have only one thing to say, "WOW". Looks like you had a scroll saw in your crib. Welcome to the Village from Colorado. I think we will be asking you questions very soon. You will find the folks here are very kind and always willing to share techniques with you. Jerry

Anxiously waiting for the finished product. I really like your explanation as you progress through to the finished project. Thank you, Jerry

Amazing cutting on this Don. Will look good hanging on anybody's wall. Thanks for sharing. Jerry

WOW Frank, as usual you do great work. I'm certain your lady's daughter will be very happy with it. Jerry

Very nice Edward, I especially like the eagle. Jerry

I noticed your saying "My passion is recreating beauty in wood". You most certainly do that. Very nice. Jerry

Sorry to hear of your loss Charlie. Over the years you created many wonderful memories, these will carry you through. Memories are Golden. The plaaque you made for her is beauriful. Jerry

Colorado welcomes you to the village Bob. You will get a lot of good advice from the folks here. I have been a member for almost three years and have received a lot of help. Many of us have a Pegas. I have had mine for 2 years and up to now have not had a problem. One of our members sells Pegas scroll saws. Also, a good number have the Dewalt 788. Enjoy your stay here. Like I said, you will receive a lot of help from the members. Jerry

Hey Dick, in no way was my comment an insult. Your comment on Denny's dog puzzle was not seen as a put down. I commented on your intarsia bear that I cannot get into intarsia. Again, it's different strokes for different folks. Wouldn't this be a boring world if we all wanted to do the same thing. We were all made to do different things. Please accept my apology if I insulted you because I certainly did not mean to. I'm not that type of person. If you got to know me, you would think I'm a pretty nice guy. At least that would be my hope. Jerry

Different strokes for different folks. Jerry

And the learning continues. I am with you, great joy when you finish a project. Scrolling is my safe place. And yes Jimmy, the folks here are very helpful. The picture of your work is beautiful. Jerry

I can understand you ego taking a hit, all of us get hit at times and I might add mine has been hit more than once. But, don't let your self-confidence take a hit. You are much to good a scroller to let that happen. Some day in the future try it again. Jerry

This is really nice Richard. I like the looks of intarsia, but I just can't get into it. Lot of folks here really do a nice job. Jerry

Really nice Rick. Jerry

very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Jerry
