PhotoWhit Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Well I'm semi retired and wanting to stay busy. Scrolling seemed like and interesting thing to try my hand at.... I've done some other odds and end of wood craft, but nothing this challenging, Shape signs from fence boards and pallet wood. It started with a Craftsman middle of the road saw and quickly realized I'd like a quieter saw with less vibration. I've recently purchased a "Total Saw" 21" which is a PS Wood saw (or Sakura by an earlier name) It's a very nice quiet saw with seriously tiny vibrations! I need to clean it up a bit, put on a new rubber belt (it's a belt driven saw...). I might also want to add the more current "toolless" chuck on it. I've also, for no good reason, picked up a 26" older saw for $20, running, but needing a bit of help. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hi Whit and welcome to the Village. I have a friend that has numerous scroll saws including a 14" and 21" PS Wood saws. They are his work horses. He is a full time scroller and loves them. PhotoWhit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Welcome from Southern Arizona. One of the most important things you will want for success in scrolling are the right blades. the big box stores do not carry the ones you need for scrolling. If you do not know what I am talking about or where to buy the right blades, just ask and you will get several sources to use Dick heppnerguy PhotoWhit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome friend!! Keep coming back. Interesting, I now have both a PS Wood 21" and a DeWalt 788, I hope I can work with these very good saws. It's interesting you mention a 12 volt saw though. I live on Solar electric! I know some who have smaller 12 volt systems who try to run everything on 12 volt. I'll add this bit of info for reference. Not sure what type of saw the 26" is, it was just an impulse buy. it needs an insert, I haven't checked to see if it's the same size as my Craftsman. Likely something that will live in my old vinyl garage until I have a sale looking for another impulse buyer...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoWhit Posted December 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) So I posted a chess pattern I'm working on, I don't think it's gotten many looks. I don't know if there is a way to see the number of times a post has been seen in this form. Really looking for any opinions. It's a bit long winded, but it's a set paying homage to the Austin Cox aluminum chess sets from the 60's. If anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to listen to them. Here's a link.http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/31923-im-working-on-a-simplified-chess-pattern-based-loosly-on-a-mid-centrury-modern-looking-for-opinions-and-ideas-on-the-knight Edited December 21, 2018 by PhotoWhit make a link, a link...
