I finally got of my behind and did some work in the shed, worth posting. The letters I have left over from when I used to make and sell these.I probably have more then 100. My Daughter picked out the name, for a friends baby and I had to make VW to pull it. Managed to find my old jigs and patterns and rather enjoyed it. I made three VW's so a couple spare. I had a steam engine and a truck also to pull the names.

Finished this Old Car up a couple weeks ago, Steve Good pattern. Done on 1/4" popular and 1/4" Oak, not really a toy maker but it turned out pretty good.

Decided to make this Compass Version with Color. Actually I like Color and a Good Friend decided on the color scheme. Was Good, so here is my Finished Compass. Hope all will like..............Danny :+} EDIT.... When this pic was taken I DID NOT HAVE IT GLUED. This one I made the N-E-S-W IN RED.... I like this better. ??

I wanted a unique name for these; My first name is Wichita, I named my business Wich and Wynn's Wonders (my ex-wife's name is Wynn), I shortened it to Wich's Wonders after the divorce. So, ta da, I'm going to call them Wich Sticks. These are Al Baggetta patterns; 1 inch square dowel, poplar, dark walnut and cherry stain, #1 polar FD blade. FYI My method of folding a 15" patterns is to use my 18" HF sheet metal brake, works like a charm. The sticks:

I'm sure many won't know him but this is David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor from the long running BBC series Dr. Who. If there's any fans out there who'd like to cut this I used the free stencil from this site with a few modifications. https://freestencilgallery.com/doctor-who-stencil/

I came up with something different the other day after looking on Facebook. It showed tooth brush holders being used for something other than tooth brushes, which started me thinking. I know dangerous, right? Anyway I have 4 blade types that I use a lot and the are stored in round containers sitting flat an a trolley next to my saw, so when I need a blade they have usually rolled around and I have to check most of them to get the right one. So I brought just one holder to see if it worked and it does, very nicely. Here are a couple of photos. I know it may not be ideal for everyone but someone may find it useful. Oh plus you can increase the size of the hole at the top if you wish to hang them on a hook. Marg

8" x 10" 1/8" BBPLY #1 Spiral blade

Had a special request to cut the “Penny drop box” from Steve Good with the inscription “Brew Crew”. Since it is done with 1/4” BB apply I decided to stacked cut two and just added the Brew Crew on one box, spare one for inventory.

Unfortunately, I live alone.. sooo.. LOL. I have a plastic tube set up I bought, but when I bought my used dewalt, the guy I got it from used small pieces of like 1/2" ID pvc pipe, that he cut to like 5.5" and glued a cap to one end, and the other end it just slips on. Then he had one spring loaded tool holders to keep them mounted on the saw stand. These aren't the exact ones, The ones he used did not have the actual springs.

been scroll sawing for 3 years have learned a lot love it so much so relaxing here’s a very of my most recent ones

I Designed "God loves you"pattern again. last time I made it without "s" I make a lot of English mistakes I think omitting the "s" was a big mistake. I really wanted to make it with "S" I also Keep the meaning God's G and You's Y to be together It was tricky with three "O" I made two patterns and made one today

Will do. Thanks!

I’m glad you have been able to communicate with Les Ray. I’m sorry to hear that he and Faye are not doing well and they were going to need to give Les a breathing tube. Prayers continue for them both. Please let him know if anyone communicates with him that we are praying. Let us know if anyone hears further,

Good to see something from you Sycamore67. It's been too long. I finally gave in and got vaxxed too.

Glad the recovery is coming along. Nice job all around. My favorite is the flowers. If the joker was too neat and pretty it wouldn't fit his personality. Nasty character.

great idea, I use container 1/2 in. tubes

I got an email this morning on one of my news watches and this is what I got (I have not verified this as of yet, but will this weekend): Can anyone else confirm their area lumber pricing has dropped? Thanks as always in advance

nice work

excellent job

About 2 months ago I paid almost $9 for one 2x4 by 8 feet. I checked yesterday and the price was down to $3.64. Plywood seems a little better too.

They both look Fantastic. Like the Square handle best,

Tom Baker was my Favorite,(long time ago) You did an Excellent job on #10. I have seen a few of his episodes.

I haven't bought any in the last couple of weeks, when I buy I buy enough to last several weeks, But I have herd they are dropping a little.

Pretty Cool Marg. Thanks!

My favorite Dr Who, with Matt Smith a close second. Fabulous work Charlie. Thanks for the link. Marg

Don't watch the program... (don't watch much TV anything), but the cutting is very nice. I take it a spiral blade was used at some point in this project.

thank you so much Heppnerguy This year, I spent a lot of time in my workplace It's the happiest thing when I see a wood peices from a line have a good day~

thank you so much Heppnerguy It must be one of the happiest thing there is a lot to do~ have a great day~

I contracted it in mid November. Really kicked my but for a week and didn't fully recover until late December. Best of luck.

Get better soon……I’ve been lucky dodging it so far……my daughter had it in the house July 2020 though

I am sorry to hear that you and your wife got Covid and your hospital and rehab stay. Hope you get better soon. I got vaccinated to avoid Covid and data shows vaccinated people are significantly less likely to get it and if they do it is much milder. People are free to make their own choices and resultant effects.

This is a fairly new cut,, but my Dad in the pic has been gone for 8 years,,,,, Good ol' day's.

IF you buy a new 788, it is probably built in Taiwan. They are notorious for skimping on grease in the bearings. Watch this 52 minute video. Also, I just bought a new Taiwan Delta, when I took it apart, I FOUND OUT IT IS THE SAME AS A DEWALT 788 !!! http://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw788-type-scroll-saw-parts-c-1009_2631_207564.html http://www.deltamachinery.com/downloads/manuals/scroll_saws/40-694/40-694%20Scroll%20Saw%20Parts%20List%20Rev%203.pdf The Delta appears to have come off of the assembly line. Different housing shape, but identical working parts. The Delta is $100+ less expensive. jerry

I think a lot of people have been following the type I and Type II. The way I understand it, the type I are the better of the two. But the type II have made progress over the past few years, No matter which one you got, best of luck and many happy hours scrolling

Tho only difference is the blade clamps look just a little different, but function just the same. The over all difference is the type I was made in Canada and the type II is made in Tiwan. If you have a type I, it is over fifteen years old.

The only difference I can see is that the top blade lock hs a little different look has like a guide to put the blade in with.

I bought my brand new Type 2 late in 2002. Though I can't find it now I seem to recall Type 1's were last made in 2000.

I was talking to the son of the son in law of the person I bought it of and he said it is at least 10 to 12 years old.

I agree with Kevin. It is all about the motor tag.

None that i know of,sorry.You'll be a happy camper now! :cool:

I heard from him the other day and he said they were going to insert a breathing tube so I have a feeling he's not up to posting here. He and Faye are in serious condition right now. Prayers appreciated.

I just bought a used DW 788 and the nomenclature is not on the motor is there any other differences that I can tell if it is a Type 1 or type 2? it runs good and smooth .

Dewalt Type 2 vs Type 1 scrollsaw DW788. The main difference is how the motor was made and designed. Type 2 or Type 1 refers to the motor type rather than the scrollsaw itself. Type 2 uses permanent magnets as stator as oppose to Type 1 which uses coils as stator in its motor. Power Off the scrollsaw. Just put any ferrous metal (eg steel) on the motor case, if it got magnetised/attracted, the motor is Type 2. Due to permanent magnet inside the motor casing. Type 2 motors are made in Taiwan. Type 1 motors are made in Canada.

I use 1/2 in tubes they won't hold a gross of blades, yours looks like thy would. I like it, IKIE

I heard lumber has gone down where I live but gas is 1.32 per litre which works out to just over $5.00 per U.S. gallon

Framing lumber has come down in our area but still higher than what it was a year ago. Plywood and sheet goods are still more than double in price. Other building material, electrical, plumbing are still over priced. I replaced some 2'x2' ceiling panels in 2019 at $4.10 per panel, now $11.53 per panel.

Very disappointed, the staff I mean. To build a little staff comraderie, togetherness if you will. My caregiver, forget the four inch reverse curve talons, I just casually mentioned her white Crocks. Did she know, I asked, that her shoes were survival footwear? Yes indeedie! In dire emergency the Crocks are edible. Not a smile.

If it is that old I'd say you have a good chance it's a type one, supposed to be the better one also.
