BBply and Rikon Scroll Saw

[kmmcrafts]

Just went to the local wood supplier and purchased 10 5 x 5  sheets of 1/8 BBply.. $210 so the price came back down from my last purchase when the same 10 sheets was nearly $300.. I may have bought more had I known the price dropped some. Just a bit of heads up for anyone that may need some supplies like the plywood etc.. News isn't reporting too much on it but there may be a strike at the shipping ports that could make this stuff kind of scarce.. I've heard some supplies like where in shortage during covid could be a thing again and something like 1 week of strike would back up the ports until the new year.. If you're getting low on a certain thing and have the means to buy it now it might be a good idea to do so.. strike could happen Oct. 1st.

Anyway the store had a Rikon brand scroll saw.. looking exactly like the HF one so I played around with the arm lift. I thought I read where you raise it up until it clicked and then it was locked into place.. then the same for lowering it down. I think that may have been misrepresented because I believe it doesn't "lock" in the lowered position, at least this Rikon display model didn't. The release button could stand to be more toward the front of the saw would make using it much easier..
