Ohio piper

Yep I have a basement but heater and A/c is down there so I worried about the dust getting sucked into the return air filter. I we are planning on moving to Columbus OHio next year so I will differently be adding the scroll saw factor into the layout in my future house

I used to live in California and scrolling in the winter was not an issue. But now I live in Ohio and I am wondering where I am going to set up my saw. It makes so much dust. I think I might have to buy a good quality shed and insulate it and run power to it so I can have heat. What do you guys do in the the colder climate? Just curious

Well if you seen my thread in introduction it has need a long time for me since I used my scroll saw. The wife and I started doing stained glass and having a lot of fun learning about it. Now I am wanting to incorporate stained glass with scroll saw project. So this will be interesting. I think it will just be a sheet of glass not an actual stained glass project. Using a sheet of glass behind a scrolled out project and mount it on a chain for a window. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone try that. So I am looking forward of trying that. You can make a box out of stained glass and you make boxes out of wood so I think I can get a dermal router bits and play around with that idea. Maybe that will help you with Ideas LOL.

I was looking on Seyco and saw those heads a lot cheaper than the OEM. How long have you been using that Pegas head ? Might try it

Yep I looked I did see the thread about the whole Excalibur mfg fiasco and the whole Excalibur’s are now made in china. I am thinking of maybe buying a Hegner saw. I saw I can still buy parts for my saw though which is nice

Oh gotcha I zip tie all my cords together and have cord holder mounted on my stand which is on wheels so I do understand about the cord situation LOL especially when you want to clean the dust up

Or you could just buy a aquarium pump and tie it in with a foot peddle ( deadman switch) and it will run only when your saw is on

It has been years since I was here last. It sucks I can’t use my old screen name. there is no way to get it back cause I no longer have my old email or phone number. So I just made a new account. I am pulling out my scroll saw and dusting it off and started to watch some videos on scroll saws I have a EX21 excalibur saw and in needs some TLC. If my memory is correct I need to get a new head cause I think my blade kept slipping. I just ordered some new blades from Mikes I am glad to see he is still in Business. Once I fire it up I will take a look at it. I know Steve good had some good videos but I am looking for some good tear down video to lubricant my machine so if any of you know some good videos on the subject please pass them along if you would. I will be a Luker for a will seeing what is new in the world of scroll saws. I did see a Jet scroll saw man it looks prey much like a Excalibur LOL. I think I bought my machine back in 2011. I think I paid 7-$800 dollars back then. Maybe for ships and giggles I will go see what they are going for now days. Happy scrolling
