baggetta Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 The HeartKnob Here's a little project for Valentine's Day. You might want to make some of these little HeartKnobs for your scroll sawing Heartthrobs. This is for people who might be finding it a little less easy to tighten that little black knob on their Excalibur, Pegas, or Dewalt (the list goes on). Just insert this over the black knob and snug up your blade before cutting. Some people might find this a bit "heart wrenching" but others might use it and take your concern for them "to heart." Your heart might "sink" when a blade breaks, but.... ENOUGH WITH THE HEART JOKES!. Ok. I hope you like this project. I cut mine from 3/4" cherry and rounded the edges on my router -- you might want to do this if you are going to give it as a gift, but it can be cut from just about any wood. Also might have to adjust the size of the insert hole, depending on how close you cut it. You can download the pattern from my Free Pattern Page: http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm meflick, new2woodwrk, Lucky2 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Looks like a good idea. I have a lot simpler design that I made about 8 years ago and use every time --especially on the bottom knob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
