General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Anyone ever hear of Anker blades?

« on: July 25, 2011, 10:38:31 am »

I think all the above mention problems/conditions have a lot to do with the brand Scroll saw.  From experience with 2 past brands (Lowes specials) and using both for years and having some troubles cutting a straight line or a curve line.  Then I got my HEGNER....  Right from the beginning of using it I couldn't believe how I was able to follow ANY shape of a line and actually make call the cuts almost perfect.  I have cut many different projects since I got the saw from stacking 6 quarter inch red oak ply to 3/4" cherry/poplar and good ole pine.  Long story short is I feel the saw makes the world of difference in the quality of a persons ability to cut a project/follow a line.  My 2cents.LOL

This pattern was designed by our very own Steve Good.  The wood is quarter inch.  Backer is Mahoginey (sp) with BB on top.  Ran it thru the Lemon Oil.
I really enjoyed cutting this pattern.  I used a FD-UR #1 blade.  Went thru three of um.  The FD blades are still breaking EXACTLY where that lil crimp is....  Terrible.  Anyway any comments are Cool.  Later....  Danny  :+}

Gabby....And I respect each driver and am always excited when Mark wins a race.  Last year was his big time.  Just feel its a kind of seasonal change with a lot of older that 40 drivers.  Jimmy is the exception, but hey he's around the same age as Jeff was when he won all them races and championships.  My feelings are that Jimmy Johnson will go down in the books as The Best All Around Nascar driver in history.  The drivers of the 70's - 80's were in a different class.  Cars were like normal road cars.  Tracks were different and not many rules like today.  Anyway I have only been a fan since 1992, so didn't pay any attention to the really old timers.  Later....  Danny  :+}

Yea Gabby....Being a fan of Jeff Gordan I also feel he is on his way to being like the average old timer where his youth is gone and reflexes are slower and sight isn't like it was etc., etc. and thats where most of the good drivers are at present.  The young ones like Kyle, Kasey, David Regan and others are gonna be this new generation of Jeffs and Jimmys.  Later....  Danny  :+}

Dan you brought back fond memories about my doings in Riverside and YES I was into a crowd that ventured into the raceway a couple times and Wow!  It was so much fun as I remember. Wasn't much of a fan back then.  Was into Cycles.  Mostly Motocross type.  This was back in the ----70's----Just Love that period.  Especially the music.  Anyway....Long time ago....  Danny:+}

Hey GB....And all others....I never have given any thought to being deaf or even not hearing in one ear, but after reading all the above I give Thanks to God for allowing me to keep my hearing after 66 years.  GB I sat here and really gave lots of really hard thinking about your age and what you are going to have happen to you and there will be a period of adjustment, but I say go for it.  Quickie....Mom 82 at the time.  Cataraks.  Surgergy.  Went Great.  All her life she had never seen TRUE COLORS.  Her white was cream and Green was Blue.  Now she is so HAPPY with her NEW SIGHT.  Later....Danny  :+}

Howdy all you race fans....  Well we have a small crowd getting ready to enjoy watching one of our favorite sports.  Done been into the chips n dips and have the grilled port chops smokin and all the other goodies inside.  Just wanted to see if we have any more Nascar fans on board.  Do we?  Tonight I would like for Kyle Bush to get lucky.  And even Casey Kane would be ok.  So how was all of your Saturday early evenings going?  Later....  Danny  :+}
