I have shown the model on the forum before. We didn’t have a fair last year so I entered it this year.

There are so many versions of the Corvette and you cut a truck load of BBPW cutting them all. Thought I would go for an early classic.

There is the lightest weight saw, A hand fretsaw. WE have had (have?) members that did as good with a hand fretsaw as any elect powered one. Got a learning curve is the drawback

Cut this out for a friend of mine. It was challenging to keep the cutout whole!

This was my weekend project. This is for a friend of mine.

Did this as a present for my in-laws and added some wood burn

Thought you guys might get a laugh from this. https://www.tiktok.com/@kozycontainers/video/6987957790635560198?sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6934077605922653702&is_from_webapp=v1&is_copy_url=0

Another beautiful pattern and cutting. Dianne rode to MN in her brother's vette. The next year engaged and the following year married almost 55 years ago.

Another thing you can do to dampen vibration is build a shelf on the stand and place a bag or two of sand.

One of my first few saws had quite a lot of vibration. I took a piece of carpet padding and placed it between the saw and the stand and bolted it back down. You don't tighten the bolts all the way down.. just snug them up enough to hold it in place.. Good to use lock-nuts or loktite on the bolts you have. What I did was run the saw through the speeds as I tightened up each bolt.. too tight you get vibration.. too loose you get vibration.. if you keep adjusting the bolt tightness and run through the speeds you'll eventually find a sweet spot where there is the less amount of vibration. Might not ever get rid of it completely but you can fine tune it to a speed on the dial that you like to cut at.

Hi To All, Was hoping to ask a favor of the forum to see if the old mind is still running on all cylinders! If anyone has one of the Sears Tool Catalogs from the years between 1995 and 2001 would they mind checking it and seeing if my saw is in there and it's features and price? The catalog number is 137.226200 . Does anyone oil the upper arm bearings on Sears saws like they talk about in some of the manuals? Mine looks to have a similar bolt on the side that is mentioned in the manual that "octool guy " was kind enough to share. I have the saw bolted down on the stand and was thinking of putting some padding between the saw and the stand to help with the vibration. I was also thinking about opening up the saw and oiling all of the pivot points. Any recommendations on removing vibration would be appreciated! I would really like to get this saw working if possible. The 20" throat capacity is really nice! Thanks again to all. Really glad I found this forum. Hope to be able to help others like I'm being helped in the future! Regards dadroadie

He figured out a way to get the work done when he doesn't have the tools to do such a long piece.. all the weight of that piece would have broken the planer if he had tried to feed it into the planer and the end tipped down.

Robot Plainer!!! Now that is pretty slick.

The first Corvette I ever rode in was a 57 with fuel injection. My buddy Lil John Lombardo had it and took me for a ride. Fastest car I had ever been in up til then. A few years later he took me for a ride in his fiverglass T bucket with a 409 in it. Did a wheelie and scared the bejeebers out of me. The good old days before the "rice burners".

I have had this pattern for a long time and I believe I got it from the Scroll saw magazine, quite awhile back. I just ran across is as I was looking for a different one and I showed it to my wife and she said she would like one of them. So here it is. I do not remember who the pattern maker is. I am quite disappointed in how it came out, as I found myself having to take it apart but still could not seem to get it right. From the far side of the room, it looks ok though. I only posted it because I don't want anyone to think I am sitting on my duff, watching TV Dick heppnerguy

nice!! been awhile since iv done any puzzles....humm might have to start looking through my vast collection of patterns lol

nice I haven't done one of these for some time now

Of all the early Vets, the older small ones have always been my favorite models too. As they got larger, I thought they Los a lot of their appeal. I know most car fans would not agree with me but that is what makes life interesting. Another beautiful car to add to your unique a d interesting wall

Well clearly you aren’t answering your phone, they call all the time from Nigeria and other countries saying I’ve won, multiple times - don’t you check your messages. beautiful cutting work of the car.

You said it! My Hawk is light but stable@
