Popular Post Ken Lotts Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Well, I got commissioned by my wife to make a sleigh this year. The book that had the pattern that she liked was "Classic Fretwork Scroll Saw Patterns" By Patrick Spielman & James Reidle. My first challenge was to find some 1/4" walnut large enough for the pattern.. I ordered some 8"X12"wood from an ebay seller and that worked well but I had to shrink the plans slightly to make it fit. I used Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse blades. Had a piece of the fretwork snap off on me but I am not sayin where (Lol!) Anyhow, Sharon was so pleased she bought me a new Hegner for Christmas (LOL!!!) She wanted to put the sleigh under the tree but we discovered that it makes an excellent candy dish on our dining room table.

dgman Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Beautiful work Ken, you did an excellent job cutting it! Patrick Spielman was a great instructor. I learned a lot from his books way before the internet. His legacy still lives on in work like yours! Congratulations on the new saw. You now own two premium saws! jollyred and Ken Lotts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 FANTASTIC Job! Congrats on the new saw too. My sons got me a new 21" King for Father's day! Still learning on it. Sold my two P-Cs--They were/are both good saws too (1 was -16" & 1 was 18") --although not in the category with the King! The one P-C had a top attached LED light-which was wonderful-- I use a spring arm one that I made brackets to attach to the stand on the King. - Not quite as handy though. Everything else about the King is great. Ken Lotts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too Love/Need light (and magnification). I bought a Luxo magnifier LED lamp. It is a bit pricey but I like it so much that I would buy it again in a heart beat. It lights the workspace up better than anything I have ever used before. The model I have is a 1.75X Luxo model #LFG028214 (for some reason Advanced Machinery refers to it as the HLX6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just now starting to use one that was given to me but nothing near this on. who knows, maybe some day.
