Hey John, take it easy on poor Ray LOL. A quick photo showing a few of my instruments. More in the closet. But I still can only play one at a time!

With me you know what you are getting A+++++ saws. When you buy like you are doing it is a crapshoot like you are selling off these saws now. Buy once and never buy again stop playing around and buy a good saw already. The hobby is cutting on them not buying and selling them. 

He’s a wheeler dealer kinda guy just like I was and still am somewhat. Made a lot of money hustling things from tools to furniture to cars. Some people just have this in their DNA. I guess. The trick is to win a awesome deal and see how much you can get back out of it. Gotta know what you’re doing though cause can loose your butt too. Got a friend that tries to do as I did and lost a lot of money trying..

I use the factory stands, but I added pinball machine feet to them. These are round steel feet with a 3" long threaded bolt extending out of the top. The legs of my scroll saw stands already had holes in them, so I just added nuts and washers. These feet are designed with some flex in the foot/bolt connection, so they will sit flat on an uneven surface, and you can level the stand on for non-level floor by adjusting the nuts up or down on the threaded stem bolt. I use these for some of my other machines and tables too, or caster wheels if they need to be moved often..

I get them here.   www.pbresource.com  Search in "Cabinet Parts" and then "Legs/Levelers and Associated Parts". LEG2 and LEG3 are the part numbers. Both are similar, except for the length and size of the bolt. When you call, say "Hi" to Steve for me. He is a good friend of mine. (this won't get you a discount and I don't get a kick back from your order. I pay the same price when I buy them too).

My brother was into that stuff too. Hitting all the flee markets on Saturday and then selling at his garage sale during the week. He has slowed down on that stuff but still in his DNA. 

Well then have at it Ray. Good luck with the saws you buy. There are plenty out there.

Yea, I like to hit the flea markets myself.  Trouble is, I don't re-sell anything.  But then, doesn't everyone need 18 bench planes?

Think this is why I now have 6 scroll saws,

And just for the sake of conversation, the Hegner that I bought/sold was a great saw. It was well worth what I sold it for. Had it not had the speed problem, and it may have been my own problem, it would still be living in my shop and the Dewalt would have been gone.
