  1. Clever!!! Jerry
  2. Kris, normally I don't care for this type of cutting. But I have to admit these are great. In fact, I think they probably look better than the actual photo. You have just changed my mind. Maybe one day I'll try cutting one. Jerry
  3. Jim, Very nice. I am currently cutting the Marine emblem. Every time I see one posted I get another idea how to finish. I see you are from South Caroliina. I was stationed at Charleston Air Force Base when I was in the Air Force. Everyone I met was jealous because it was a garden spot. Again great cutting I'm certain the American Legion and ane the veterans will appreciate you efforts. Jerry
  4. How neat. So simple, yet so powerful. Your Mom is going to love it. Jerry
  5. Welcome to the Village and to scrolling. Scrolling can become very addictive along with scrolling through the village web site. You are going to learn a lot. Jerry
  6. Love the picture, Paul. I went into the service the same year you did, at about the same weight (soak and wet). I too feel the same way you did, best and worst time of my life. The toughest decision I had to make was do I stay in or get out. I left, but often wonder what if I stayed in. At any rate things turned out OK for me. It was an honor to serve our country. Jerry
  7. WOW!!! I'm a pretty patient guy, don't know if I would have the patience to do this. You should be very proud.
  8. Fantastic!!! Thank you for your service
  9. Nice job, much better than my first. Boy are you going to have fun.
  10. BadBob and Millwab, you have a way with words. You both hit the nail on the head.
  11. Many years ago, those community home shows would have one or two scroll companies with a booth. This is where I became interested in scrolling. Stopped going to these shows when the scroll saw companies stopped showing their products. It wasn't necessarily a woodworking trade show but was enough to pique my interest.
  12. I really like seeing what everyone does. What you add to projects, glitter on this one, really makes it stand out. Beautiful!! I learn so much. Jerry
  13. Those are simply beautiful Bruce. This is a gift that will be cherished forever by your grandchildren. I remember when I was 9 or 10 years old my grandparents gave me a Sheaffer ink pen and pencil set. Don't think ball points were invented then. I know longer have the pen or pencil, but I do still have the bottle of ink the came with it. I remember too, the pencil used thin lead. Now in my 80's and remember how excited I was. Jerry
  14. That is beautiful. I am amazed at the talent in the village community. I hope someday I can do what you do.
  15. Here is my contribution to the Charlie Brown Christmas trees. I had a fun cutting these out. Cut them from 1/4 inch poplar. My sincere thanks to Barb Enders for leading me to Scrollercafe and more importantly how to navigate the web site. As an Air Force navigator one would think I would have no problem, my wife used to say I could find anyplace in the world, but couldn't get around in the city. Jerry
  16. Very nice Frank. I learn a lot from everyone on scroll saw village. Even a simple project like this looks great after so many of you finish it. I hope I can do that someday. I keep trying. Jerry
  17. Quite an undertaking Charlie. You did well. I'm certain the drivers will appreciate what you have done and will cherish them.
  18. Hey Wayne, on which seat is the padding gone. As I grow older my built in seat has less padding.
  19. Kids are always asking me, "Dad, what do you need for your scroll saw?". Now I can give them some good ideas, thanks Travis. The photo tent is a good Idea. Jerry
  20. Name is Jerry, not Jwee
  21. I am just beginning to cut some the small 3-D reindeer. Been wondering how to apply finish. You have given me an idea. Will probably drill a small hole in the bottom of the deer. If anybody out there has other ideas I'm open to other ideas. Thanks for sharing Jwee
  22. Sylvia, this site can become addictive. When I first joined I spent a lot of time viewing old posts and learned a bunch of stuff. These people are very helpful. Tips and tricks, issues with cutting and issues with your scroll saw. Welcome to the village Sylvia. Jerry
  23. I was an Air Force navigator. The compass was the most important navigation item we had. I like all your items, going to try to do some. Thanks for sharing. Jerry
  24. Thanks to all of you for your responses. You can bet I will be trying each and every one of them. I began my programming career in the early 70's. At times some of the equipment had issues. One of the work arounds was cleaning the contacts with alcohol. Always had alcohol around. It's true, what goes around comes around. Also, what is old is new again. Thanks again for your responses. Jerry
  25. This past Christmas I gifted myself with a Pegas scroll saw. After about 8 months of usage, I experienced blade slippage from the lower blade chuck. I replaced both the thumb screw swivel and the set screw. All was good for a couple of months when the slippage started again. I tried making an adjustment to the set screw which seemed to help, but it is beginning again. I'm wondering if I should remove the lower chuck before making any adjustments or replacement to better see what I'm doing. I also wonder if I'm not placing the blade correctly in the lower chuck. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Note, I had a RBI scroll saw for about 25 years and never had an issue with blade slippage. Thank You, Jerry Walters
