There is a small trend of doctors offices that like little trinkets. So I had a foot doctor visit today and made a foot drawer. This I guess is part of a micro drawer series? She the Dr. loved it. The nurse assistant liked it also. So I guess I need to make 4 more. Started with 2"x2"x12" which ends up at 1.5" x1.5" and it fits in 4.5" long. Wood type is Mrytle. Finish is Arm R Seal. She did not say how she is gonna use it. She says it will be on her desk.

Kevin, A photograph of a portrait is copy written. The work we do as scrollers is considered an artistic interpretation of the original and as such the copyright on the original portrait does not apply. In fact the work you did IS copy written and you own the copyright for your own work. DW

Yes, but in the spirit of truth in advertising - how about a photo of what it looks like after an afternoon of scroll sawing without the vacuum?

I spent a few days getting my Pegas the way I wanted. Still shocked it only took 2 days to deliver from my order. I used a US General service cart as the base. (The red matches!) I added a power strip with USB plugs and a 25 foot cord. This way I can move it around in the shop for some flexibility. Here you can see it in position when I am recording live streams or other YT videos. Most of my tools are in a semi-circle, so I only need to spin around on my stool. My only negative right now is I have the magnifying glass/light connected to the cart (used to be on the wall), so I lose some cutting space. I really do not want to go back to my old long arm (you can see it on my workbench) from the back as it bounces too much, but I will figure placement in the next week. Other Shop Stuff: I put my old 10" WEN drill press back in operation and keep a pilot drill bit in it. My larger drill press further back is for larger holes, barrel and mop sanding. It sits to the left of my carving workbench. In this photo I have a whole bunch of toys needing to be profiled. You can see the blue legs of my frankenrouter and barrel sander behind that near the silver overhead door. I plumbed in the Pegas, to have not only the regular bottom vac, but also a top vac using loc-line. It then gets combined at the back of the saw. I can either hook up to the 10 foot 2.5" vacuum line at any port along the wall, or to my 4" dust handling line that I can roll out. Below is a closeup when I was plumbing everything in. I did have my old magnetic sheet on for a while, as the glare from my shop lights reflected off the black surface of the cutting table. I still have to get used to this saw. I started with a #10, as I was drifting to the left with the thinner blades, and worked my way down in numbers (at #5 right now), figuring out what setup worked. Every blade has a personality, as does the saw. In the photo below you can see my old Excal before moving out of that spot and rearranging things.

Just sitting. I figured a 120 lbs saw, didn't need to be bolted.

The 30" weighs 120 lbs. Not sure how much more than a 24". I did not install the handles on the cart. I also used shorter bolts where the handles would have been. But yes, the mobility is a plus for sure.

I was glad to see your post. I'm considering the 30" myself, but you know, I never thought of putting it on a service cart, that's a great idea!, As I too have a small shop and it would be wonderful to have the mobility. Is it much heavier than the 24"? I'm assuming the once you get it dialed in vibration isn't an issue. Thanks for sharing. Chris

Looks great. Is the saw bolted to the cart or just sitting on top? Thanks.

Just be careful of placement, or have a cover. You'll get sawdust and small pieces in it if you place it under the table!

Hummm a place to hold the Whiskey! I like it!

I haven't done as much scrollsaw this year but this is my favorite. Most of parts were first scroll sawed and the shaped. It is a Model A Ford. I did this as my dad and i worked on a 1929 Model A when i was in high school.

Halloween haunted house I made for my Voodoo Lounge bar. Steam locomotive pic I made just because I like old trains. Horses I made for my wife.
