Well you don't look a bit older than the day you stopped sawing.
Whoa, wait a minute. Did I hear you right? You threw your saw in the bushes.
Well I hope it was a Craftsman made in the '60s if it has been a while.
I'm wondering if it was something I did to make you leave.
SO welcome back Robert.
Rusty, What % do they charge. I went to a place that charged 40%.
Which in essence raises your price by 60%.
Example: you want $10 they charge 40%. To get your $10 multiply by 60% equals $16
Now they take 40% of $16 is $6.40 and you receive $9.60 which is almost what you wanted.
Just curious.

Duane, " Thats 'me' " But I don't hire out, got all the dust I want to collect.
Good luck on your search. There are good systems available.
A good reliable vacuum ends your search. The rest is elementry Duane.
Just a bag, piping, valves,,,etc

Youdid a nice job on the elephants ...I like the puzzle theme.
The bowl is just fantastic. Really outstanding DW.
Excuse me, but I gotta go look at that bowl again...
Later
Larry
Thank you Roy.
Good information.
And yes I tested those woods in water and
the Mahogany floated, the Jatoba sank18" the the bottom
of the bucket.
I have to check other sites to see if the Janka scale lists
Mahogany more dense than Jatoba.
I find this odd since "MY" common sense says the more
dense the less likely to float.
Larry
Just an observation I found a bit odd.
I was soaking two pieces of wood in BLO,
one was Mahogany and the other was Jatoba (Spanish Cherry ?).
The Mahogany floated with about 90%+ submerged.
The Jatoba sank to the bottom.
Later, I will do a test of both woods in water.
A bit odd I thought since the Janka hardness scale has the
Mahogany more dense at 1600.
The Jatoba is 1375.

Thank you Grampa (Paul) for making the pattern. Very much appreciated!
I just finished this. The wood is 1/8" BB with a backer painted black.
The frame is from some old framing stock I have and I had problems
But learned some more about cutting frames.
By the time I do it again, I'll forget something.
Larry
My sister gave me a gift subscription to I don't think I'd miss it much.
Bendito and Clayton say it best for me.
Of course Grampa makes a stiff argument also.
Larry
Duane, I lost my scroll saw also but I think if I keep digging,
I'll find mine.
We create a lot of sawdust here at the Village.
Waiting to see some of yours.
Welcome!
Larry
