Title: Wife got me the Delta 40-690 for Valentine's Day
Post by: wntrrwd on February 14, 2012, 11:17:39 pm

I got my first scroll saw (cheap skill saw) about 4 yrs ago. I liked to use it but at the same time it was more of a hassle then anything. I always broke 3 or 4 blades every time I used it. I could never get the tension right.  My wife got me the Delta 40-690 for Valentine?s Day (got it Friday) and the difference is out of this world. I have not gotten to use it a whole lot yet but so far I have yet to break a blade. I cannot compare it to other saws on the market but I do know if I would have had this saw a few yrs ago what I did every once in a while would have been a real hobby.

The wife received an iPad (64gb) then for Christmas. So it was Christmas and Valentine's Day all together. I did take to a nice restaurant on Friday.

What a wonderful story to wake up to!  I am so happy for you both!  It is a beautiful gesture on her part to give you something that you would love so much.  Happy all around!  (Now you need to make her something really special!!) 

Happy Valentine's Day!  Sheila :)

She knows the man who dies with the most toys wins.  Now all you need now is a dog and your good til the end.  Life is Good as long as theirs electricity.  Someone should invent a green machine.  Can you imagine manuel pedal power. That would be a long ride back in a time machine.  Keep your creative juice flowing and congradulations on your new gift.
