kywoodmaster Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) After an unplanned 10 year break I finally have a scroll saw back up and running. I took a week of vacation from both jobs to get some work done at home. This allowed me to finish up a new building for the Motorcycle and mower along with some storage. That allowed me to make a little dent in the mess in the garage. My first order of business was to get the saw up and running. I really didn't realize how bad some of my tools had rust until I started setting them up. I still have a long way to go but I did get to try the saw out a little. I am making ornaments for all the kids and grand kids. They are Steve Goods patterns, 3/8" cedar cut with a #9r PGT olson blade. No finish yet probably some rattle can clear coat. As can be seen I have lost a lot of control in the time off. Hopefully I can get back some as time goes on. I guess they say Practice makes perfect. Comments welcome good or bad.

Kepy Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Looks great. I really like the cedar. A little naval jelly and some steel wool will defeat the rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is the 40-540 the fully variable model. That is the saw I learned on and I have never found anything that I like better. That saw is one I snagged of Craig's list not long ago. Very low hours with a minor problem (1 bolt loose ). I figure between it and my old original one and a few extra parts that I had forgotten about I can keep it up and running until I can afford a better one.

I love to work with Cedar too. I have not had the time to start cleaning up the other tools yet. Maybe soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
