I just saw this this morning. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/king-industrial-30-inch-scroll-saw-with-foot-switch looks kind of interesting to me. Tell me what you think.

I thought it was about time for me to add dust collection to my saw now that I have a quiet Festool Midi vacuum. I used 3/4 Loc-Line at the suction ends(.Amazon). The rest is PVC pipe and fittings from Lowes. I added a trap for those times when it sucks up that small piece you needed. The trap is not in the bottom picture as I just added it. I mounted the contraption to a piece wood and made it easily removable with a couple of Mag switches. I don't need to use my blower at all, the vac picks it all up. The vacuum comes on with my foot switch.

Just waiting on these to dry before I wrap them. I don't know if they will load in the correct order so I'll do my best. Both sets of wording was done using stencil sets of different sizes. (I know Travis try's his best but I am a Luddite really) My Granddaughter Matilda is being christened next Sunday so this is one of my presents. Its 8mm ply and about 220 by 190mm. The backing is an old black shirt (cleaned first then cut up) glued on and then stiffened with Mod Podge, and then finished off with lacquer. A friend is moving house on Saturday. Her hobbies include hill walking and her favourite places are the Wicklow hills and the Camino in Spain which finishes in Santiago de Compestella. Both are 12mm ply and about 320mm by 90mm. I'll leave them just with BLO. I intend using a short chain to hang one under the other. I don't know why but I went through about 7 blades on the Glendalough piece. Both came from the exact same piece of waste ply.

I did 5 i love to quilt projects today with a #3 scroll reverse and forgot to take pictures .See what happens when you out of sync,and then i forgot to take a front view of the Dr. john that was drying yesterday and now i forgot to take a picture of another project i did first thing in the morning.Things are going so good now! no pain no pills no doctors!All from free advice from the web!Finished in min wax fast dry poly.

Not Daffy but still a duck. lol Cut by me / pattern be me

Here's my try at a dragon. Cut be me / pattern by me

I have shipped many Intarsia pieces. I wrap in Bubblewrap, and pack tightly in a box so that it can not move. I have also used FedEx to ship larger pieces in what they call and Artists box. Have not had any pieces break to date.

Made this for a friend whose niece is getting martied.1/4 inch oak ply with luan backer stained.

This is the my first coin I've cut on the Hawk BM. The Pattern was purchased from Sue Mey. I was curious is the Hawk could do it, but it cuts this type of thing pretty well. The coin was a once U.S. bronze one dollar, that I flattened to .025" and is about 2" tall.

I just finished this a few minutes ago. I want to thank Dave Monk for making the pattern for me. It's a little longer than Dave's because I made the bottom a little longer to hold the cast iron cat hooks that I was able to fine, since my Granddaughter loves cats. It's 18 inches long and 12 inches high and made out of 3/4 Oak using a #3 reverse blade. Thanks again Dave for the pattern.

I like it. You are really popping them out lately. Keep up the great work.

WOW, I never would of thought of all these available options. Thanks all. I will see what is available in my area, & will follw up on them. John

Love it. Nice pattern and cutting.

Nice work thanks for sharing

That turned out great !.....Nice work !

I could use bronze sheet, and I may do that for somethings going forward. If I sell a coin that I've flattened, I give a brief explainaton letting them know the piece was a "coin." I think that adds some novelty. When I flatten the copper clad coins, you can still see the copper on the edges, so it is identifiable that way. I do prefer to go unflattened if the pattern will allow that.

If it is as good as an Ex. it is a good price. That is what I paid for a 21" Ex, if I remember correctly. King is a Canadian company, maybe some of out Canadian members know more about the company. I wonder why they left out the 21". It was the most popular if the the Ex saws. From what I read, that does not include a stand (I could have read wrong, but I didn't see it listed in the things included). Wouldn't matter to me, I like my own cabinets, but you would have to add a stand to the price.

Nicely done project. Thanks for sharing this with us. WD

great job, I like how you included the shadow under the duck

It is a solid simple machine and I have used it a couple of times at woodworking shows. I found the stroke to be too aggressive for my style of cutting.

Nice work thanks for sharing

Looks great Gordie thanks for sharing

I use Craft supplies re-positional glue, i spray the back of the pattern and and put it directly on to the wood, stays put, removes easy and little or no residue.

Great job !..

Hey Everyone, Answers to all the questions: I'm home early from the farmers market because a storm rolled in. Fortunately I saw it coming on radar and was able to pack up all of my puzzles before it hit and then just huddled under the tent until it passed. At which point I loaded up and came home. A shame, I was having a great day. 1) The tent came with 4 side panels. I only put one up as I saw the storm coming and decided instead to pack up instead of trying to get all 4 of them up. Here's the tent I bought. I'm very happy with it. Hexagonal shaped legs supposedly stronger against wind. The side panels attach easily and I can tell they would be great against rain if/when I ever need to put them all up. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H4UL6L6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2) I use 5 gallon buckets that I fill with water and bungee cord them up to the frame of the tent as anchors. That way I'm not hauling around 100-150 pounds of weights to every event. 5 gallons of water weighs about 40 pounds. One on each corner works well. 3) The top banner is also new, I found this guy online. He was great to work with in designing it. He'll do anything you want. It was a bit pricey, but I'm very happy with it and think it's worth every penny. http://www.canopybanners.net/ Picture of today's setup with the new tent and banner. Sales were going GREAT til the storm came... darnit. Sold 24 in just 3 hours. My new kids puzzles were flying off the table with people snatching them up today and I had increased the price! LOL Used to be $10 each but I increased the price today to $15 each or 2 for $25 and everyone bought 2 at a time. Let me know if any other questions or if I failed to answer any. Iggy

where would I get re-positional glue, and sorry I don't follow about using 2" sellotape on top. John

I use regular craft glue sticks. I stock up this time of year when the school supplies are on sale. I use this method because I don't like the fumes of spray glue.

I gave this to my niece in Dec for her 1st baby girl. 1/2" oak, finished with mineral oil. Pattern by Steve Good Comments please Sam
