Great job on the table and chair. That looks like it was made with a lot of love.

Don't you just love the look on their faces when they see the gifts? It makes it
all worth the time we put in on the saw.

Pattern Requests. / Pattern request

« on: January 23, 2015, 12:13:44 pm »

Hey everyone,
I have a request and would gratefully appreciate some help.  My son in law is a firefighter/ EMT in Virginia.  I would like to know if anyone could make a
pattern from a picture of their emblem.  (see attached)  I absolutely have no idea how to even begin to accomplish this.  Any help, advise, would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks guys in advance

Jamminjack

PS:  I apologize I am having difficultly attaching the picture of the emblem.  If someone can steer me in the right direction as to information on  attaching
photos?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Shop Vac on Bucket

« on: December 21, 2013, 10:23:50 am »

Hey there, I have four of those type vacs.  I have them set up at different tool stations. They are not bad for the money. I bought mine at Lows for 19.95
They do the job. I have them wired so when the machine is turned on the vac goes on, and turns off when machine is off They do the job.

General Scroll Saw Talk / New Table design for my Scroll Saw

« on: November 16, 2013, 11:53:25 pm »

Hey everyone,
 I just wanted to share with you my new table I made for my scroll saw. All comments are welcome.
Our  young scroll saw artist might not appreciate this type table as much as  shall I say some of us seasoned artists.
 
I have been wanting to do this for a while, so the other day after I pried my butt off the stool, and took another few moments to straighten up, I decided now is the time.  I got to work and made this table so I could  sit down, while sawing and be comfortable. I have always stood up or sat on a stool. Neither one was really comfortable after 1/2  hr. So I put on my thinking cap and came up with this. I must say I am very happy with it. Sawed for almost 2 hrs straight and felt very relaxed. The only problem was not to fall asleep. (Ha  Ha)

So while I was at it, I added a new air pump to the saw,(tired of replacing bellows) a zero clearance plate, foot pedal,(installed on leg of stand, I will explain) new switch for air pump, and a 6 gang electric box installed on rear leg. Plus re-routed all electric wires for saw. (Now for the foot pedal explanation!)

The reason for the foot pedal install on the leg of the stand and not on the floor is for no better reason than Sadie.  Sadie is my shop foreman. She is a 110 lb yellow Lab.  Anything on the floor in HER SHOP is fair game. Need I say more.!!  So on the leg it went.  I just tap it with my leg and away we go... Now I am a happy camper, and for Sadie , well after she gave it a good sniff  she was off planning her next surprise attack on the UPS man.  She just loves  terrorizing that man

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

Have a blessed day.
