    I glue a little rectangle of 1/8" bb and then i pound one of those picture frame hanger things into it. i get them at walmart. They look like a picture hanger with ridges on it and 2 long spikes you can hammer in.

    I hate to see you so frustrated with the saw so i think its only right that I take it off of your hands. I wont even charge you anything get get rid of it either.

    I get where op is coming from. he invested his hard work it making the patterns and someone else simply copied them and is selling them as their own. pretty shady. There is another side to the coin though. i like to think that this art form is closely related to tattoos in many ways. Disney or the nfl does not come after a tattoo artist or a person who gets a mickey mouse tattoo even though there is no mistaking what it is. The tattoo artist just doesnt claim that he designed mickey from scratch but he clearly did not get permission from the original owner to not only reproduce it but to sell it. Of course they dont claim that it is officially licensed merchandise either so maybe that is why they get a pass. dont know just some food for thought.

    I installed windows 10 last week. Took a bit if time but thats ok. Booted up to a black screen. nothing on it. had to use my other computer to get into windows. Once in, it was very sluggish, wouldnt print to my new printer or recognize my network card. I rebooted thinking maybe it just needed to settle in a bit. black screen, had to use my fancy work around to gain access. Same story. didnt perform. reverted to windows 7. figured when this dies, i will get a fresh factory installed copy and go from there. Not like I am not used to computers as I do network support for a living.

    Like this? Ä If its those dots things you hold down alt key and type in ä (0228); Ä(0196); ë(0235); Ë(0203); ï(0239); Ã(0207); ö(0246); Ö(0214); ü(0252); Ãœ(0220); ÿ(0225) and Ÿ(0159). depending on the letter you want. so for that capital A I held down alt and typed the numbers 0196 and then let go of alt.

    I buy my bots from bens scroll saw.com. good guy, good products and fast shipping. The biggest one I use is a #71 and smallest #74. .70 each. I use a jewelers hand drill as well. never power tools. Used to use a hand drill but that was when I used bigger bits. Try these on that and the weight of the drill alone will break the bit. I usually break more by dropping the drill then by using it. I also only extend enough blade out of the chuck that I need. more and it will snap. I am into the small holes for sure. All my work is metal blades 2/0 or 3/0 1/8"bb.

    Tell her you will have to think on it for a while!!

    Make you think dont it? Seems you would need to somehow attach the treadle to the lower arm of a scrollsaw or what would be your saw. You can see from a normal powered saw that if you push on the top arm the bottom one will work because of the mechanism in the back that hooks it all together. i suppose you could just make a stripped out version of that easy enough or convert an old junker. My concern would that when you use a treadle in a sewing machine there is a bit of stored energy there due to the way it works so one pump doesnt mean one stroke of the sewing machine. One stroke will last for quite a few up and down repetitions due to the balance wheel controlling things in a way. The scroll saw would be a direct drive where one pump down is one down stroke, release, one stroke up. The speed would be pretty slow to actually cut anything. of course this can be figured out somehow. I wish you the best on it sounds like a fun project.

    I use 72,73 and 74 sized drill bits. I also use metal blades tat are 2/0 and 3/0. Any of these blades will pass through the holes. The biggest bit, #72 will take a size 1 blade but bigger then that and it is rough. What i do is drill a hole in the top and sort of swizzle the drill around. Then i turn the wood over and drill through the same whole on the back while swizzling it around. fits best that way.

    Great job!!

    You will notice that it seems to drift without reason when the tension is too loose. Like the blade is drunk and swerving. Irritating as can be. If thats the case then just tighten it a hair more and it should settle in.

    Great idea and very well done.

    I still need to glue this one to the backer board but had to share it with everyone. After a lengthy fight with the airbrush I think I got it. Supposed I should have written down what i did to figure it out as I will have to fight it again next time. I took a ton of pics while making this one so will make a tutorial on how I do them. So now that i publicly said it, I suppose I have to actually make the tutorial this time!! That coming.
