Like BadBob I like the sewing machine lights. They are cheap, effective, and very versatile. I have one or two an every tool I have. Even a few extra in the drawer. Jim B.

My wife and I are saying that this will be our last year too. November will be our last show. I still will make and donate some toys but no more shows. My grandson,7, loves my toys but his mother (daughter in law) just throws them out.

I had both eyes done too. My sight how is 20-20 but now I need glass' to do close work. I got a prescription glass for computer work. I use these glass' for scrollsawing and they work better than over the counter reading glass'. I just make sure I have excellent lighting.

I have a Wen LL2156, 21 inch about $375 and had it for over a year now and really like it. I tried a Dewalt scroll saw at a woodworkers show and I could not tell the difference. The past year a have use it just about every day. Don't confuse this the cheap Wen 16 inch.

Found my noise. When I hold the machine down tightly, the noise goes away. I built a new bench and I think the normal vibrations of the machine are amplified by the empty and hollow bench. I think I should think of putting rubber pads under the machine and bolting it down will do the job. I made the top of the bench attached with a hinge so that i could adjust the saws slant. I used a large door hinge because that is what I had. I'm going to change that to a piano hinge before I bolt bolt the saw down. Also as stated " the manual says all bearing are sealed and do not need lubrication". Thanks for all the great help!

Should my scroll saw be a scroll saw be lubricated? I checked the manual and noting is said about lubrication. I have read here that some people say they should be lubricated with Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) some say 3in one oil. I have a WEN LL2156 21-Inch 1.6-Amp Variable Speed Parallel Arm Scroll Saw that is about 6 months old but now is making a noise that seems to be in the arm.

Can someone recommend a Scroll Saw blade for scrolling out shapes from a 2x4 pine? I use pinless blades. Jim Barnes Randleman, North Carolina

Great looking truck. Excellent finish. I like the lines of the truck. Was this a plan you purchased? Is so who's plan was it? Thank Ron

Directions should read: "Place first piece, then second piece, then next, unit all pieces are in place". I do puzzles all the time and this is my strategy! LOL

Standing at my work bench using my scroll saw was killing my back so a made a wood stand for my scroll saw. I tried a few different heights and slants with the saw so I could see the whole cutting area while sitting. The question is: can I bolt the saw to the tabletop and not cause too much vibration? I sometimes find it difficult getting out of a chair and am afraid that I may grab onto the table and the saw ending up on me or the floor. The photo(s) are of the table. I still have to work on the slant, so I am using temporary plywood slims until I find the right slant.

Thank you all for the advice.

Thank you for the advice. I'll try the tape.

I am somewhat new to scroll sawing so please excuse this question if it has been covered before. I cut a lot of of 3/4" thick hardwoods and finish my wood cutouts with just a with a clear coat. I was just wondering if a bees wax or any other product would help on the scroll saw blade without staining the wood? I have used bees wax on my bandsaw blades the past but these items were usually sanded and paint painted after cutting. Jim North Carolina

Well I took the plunge and purchased the Wen LL2156 21 inch Scroll saw. This fell into my budget so I took a chance. I have used it a few days now and it is like driving a Cadillac compared to the saw that I had before. I am very happy with the $370 Wen saw and I will keep a full review again in a few months.

Just jump on I-40 East and I'll help you unload LOL

My wife & I would like to get into some "sincerious" art grade scrolling. What brand of pinless blade would you all recommend? We have a good knowledge of the different types of blades for certain cuts and materials but is one brand better than another? Jim Randleman, NC
