I got some more cherry so I cut another. I tried the 321 finish but it didn’t come out very nice so I used spray polyurethane for the finish. I’ve done this in cherry before and another in worm eaten oak from an old barn. I’ll sell this one at the store also. It’s a Steve Good pattern. Thanks for looking.

I picked one up yesterday. My Delta 21 inch is crashing out (again!) and I'm tired of messing with it. Figure if I'm going to get cheap Chinese tools I might as well pay cheap Chinese prices instead of Delta's inflated price. I've cut for about an hour with this and so far it's doing pretty well. It's quieter than the Delta for sure. The on /off switch being behind the speed control is unusual. It is also taking some getting to used to for the lift arm release. The delta I had to push the button when I lifted it, then just pop it and it would drop back down. The Bauer works in reverse. Just push the arm up and it catches then pull the ring and it drops down. With the longer front on the table it puts that ring a ways towards the back. I have long arms and it still can be an issue with a larger piece. I just tied a wire to the ring and mounted it to where it can be pulled from close by. Feels like a solid saw The body is pressed steel instead of mostly cast but the vibration seems to be minimal. I do have it screwed down to my base mount too. 82a4a72f-2f3b-4c44-8a7a-7c3f961022d1.jfif2 points

Yep I have a basement but heater and A/c is down there so I worried about the dust getting sucked into the return air filter. I we are planning on moving to Columbus OHio next year so I will differently be adding the scroll saw factor into the layout in my future house2 points -
Silly me, I did it. I brought it home. Now, I have to figure it out. Runs very quiet (even quieter than my Hegner). It is very smooth when not cutting wood; I have not cut anything yet. After going through the paperwork, I found the original receipt. 2004, a little older than I would have guessed. I have three clamps, A bunch of blades that are not what I use, a shelf that attaches to the side with blade holders, a mag light, and a deadman foot switch. I don't use those, I prefer on/off switches. There is some glue and paint splatter on the stand I would like to get off, but I'm not sure how. So, I will do some general cleanup and waxing. Then, go about learning how to use it. Compared to my Hegner, it seems a little awkward, but once I figure it all out, I think I will enjoy it. One thing that really surprised me is the size. I thought it would sit lower than my Hegner, and I would have to go back and forth from high stool to lower chair, but the table top is actually about 1" higher than the Hegner table. In fact, I am not sure where I am going to put it. Something is going to have to go!

That's great Paul. It looks great. Just like the one I had. They do take up a lot of space. Very large format. Once you figure out the tensioning set up, you'll love it. Set it and forget it. That paint spatter may soften up with a heat gun. Now that you have finally pulled the trigger, you can get back to sawing and forget the ads. I'm just about to to pull the trigger on that 14" Hegner that I was telling about. The guy just wants it gone but so far no bites. He's asking $100 complete with stand, foot switch and lite. I've tried to tell him it's worth more but he just wants it gone. So, it may come home with me. I really don't need another saw but it's really tugging at me. Even my wife said I should go get it. That's saying something.2 points

A few more games, but broke out the laser.
heppnerguy reacted to rafairchild2 for a topic
So as I finish up the 125 toy project (Never Again), I am still working on some toys for the older kids. So I broke out my laser so I could lay down the playing pattern and instructions. I did the layouts in Lightburn after work yesterday, and then after dinner, I started burning the games. This AM, I cut everything out on my scroll saw, used my new router, and also drill holes. Mop sanded and hand sanded, then finished with the beeswax and coconut oil. Used a variation of large axle pegs, small cribbage pegs, and marbles to give variety.

Yet another Memorial
heppnerguy reacted to flarud for a topic
I got a buddy up in Kentucky, his Dad passed away earlier this year. I was trying to come up with something that I could make for him. I remember that his Dad used to be a Pilot several years back. So I was texting with my buddy's wife and told her that I was thinking about cutting out a Cessna 182 which is what his Dad flew. She liked the idea. I got with our very own Munzieb and asked if he had a pattern for the 182. He sent me back an awesome pattern and asked me if I had the tail number of the plane that he flew. I sent some more texts to my buddy's wife and she was able to track it down. Attached is the piece. I have been scrolling for several years and consider myself a pretty good scroller. But I had a wake up call on this pattern! Munzieb really makes it look easy and does some awesome cuts on his planes! I really butchered his awesome pattern,, almost threw this piece away several times but I just kept cutting one hole after another. I'm still not sure if I am gonna give it to him or not. Looks like a 10 year old cut it out! The tail number is cut from vinyl by my wife on her Cricut and so are the words "Fly High". The piece needed something up in the top left corner, so I came up with "Fly High". This is the first time that I have made a Floating Frame. It turned out ok I guess. I used some Minwax Gel Chestnut stain on the frame and some Tung Oil on the BB plywood, with a few coats of spray Lacquer on the whole thing.

I got tired of having a year's worth of scroll saw projects taking up so much closet space so I boxed everything up that's in plastic bags and bought a cheap bookcase to store them on. If I hadn't given a lot away I would have needed more space than that. Now everything is front & center so I can figure out what to do with it all!

Refillable Spray Paint Can?
kmmcrafts reacted to Bill WIlson for a topic
I'm no pro and I've never spray painted a car, so my perspective may be skewed, but I have a couple cheap HVLP sprayers and use them for shellac. I get decent results with them. Not car finish quality, but certainly beats the spray can. Probably cheaper too. A cup of shellac, thinned with a little DNA will go a lot further than a spray can will.1 point -
I have a great place, the only thing that could make it better is more space. It is part of a daylight basement, heated and cooled with the rest of the house. Joined with a toilet, family room with my computer, and refrig and freezer close by. A window I can look out of to see if the "Feds" are coming (gun safe near by). It also has outdoor access for a quick escape when I hear momma calling. Who could ask for anything more?!1 point

Old man winter is coming

Not here in VA Beach VA for the most part. I am 4 miles from the Chesapeake Bay and about 10 from the Atlantic, 6 feet above sea level. I am surrounded by water coming in from the bay lots of tidal marches and tributaries. Very high water table. I am on a crawlspace/slab. A few older homes have basements, but not many unless they are on a hill. I use my garage as a shop. Below is how I hooked up my "Top Vac". It plugs into my wall dust handling system with a 2.5" pipe. Collects 95% of the dus, I split it so the bottom vac gets the rest. This shot was just before I repositioned the Pegas to where the Excal is in the photo.

I bought a shed from the Amish and then finished it out to suit my needs. It has electric and heat, quite cozy in the winter.

Congrats on the new toy.... Yeah they are big and bulky saws and do take up a bit of space.. A 220VS Ultra popped up on marketplace at a pretty decent deal.. I've always wanted a smaller Ultra style Hawk.. It's got the marbles in my head rolling around so much I can't sleep very well, I don't need another saw.. nor do I want it take up yet more space in the shop on something that would probably be used very little..1 point

Ornaments For Charity is a project from the members of Scroll Saw Village. For the last 13 years, our designers have donated their talents by creating wonderful ornament patterns for the Holiday Season. It has become so popular, and so big, we had to split it into 2 books!

Download the eBook and take a look at what we have to offer. If you decide to keep it, all we ask is that you donate to your favorite charity. You get a ton of great ornament patterns, and you help those in need in return. Remember, this isn't about "buying" an eBook of patterns, it's about giving to a worthy cause.
