Somehow things have gotten out of kilter. Guess it is off to the repair shop. 
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I will be trying all of your suggestions as soon as I get my lawn mowed in this North Dakota heat. Trying to get it done before the worst of the heat. Of course the battery was dead on the mower so I put the charger on it an d hope for the best. Must be a black cloud hanging over me lately. Thanks again and I will keep you posted.

General Scroll Saw Talk / HELP!! Please
« on: July 19, 2016, 09:01:46 pm »
I have been at the scroll saw for several years now so am not a newbie. I use a DeWalt 788. Today I ran into a problem that has me very FRUSTRATED!! I am a bottom feeder. When I try to put the blade into the top clamp It acts like it is being cut off. It snaps as soon as I apply any tension. I have gone through several dozen blade trying to figure out what is wrong. I have tried to use very light pressure, just enough to hold the blade
Here is what else I have tried so far:
New thumb screw
New set screw
New Blade Clamp
Tried different blades: FD 0/3 Spiral, Galaxy 0/2 spiral (I use spirals for everything)
PLEASE, At this point I am willing to try anything.

Hey Mary!! Remember there are better times coming. Hope you are on the mend but it does take a while. Try to relax, think happy thoughts and watch comedy movies. Oh yeah, and talk to God once in a while. He really does listen.
Happy thought for you from North Dakota.

Prayers really do work. A happy positive attitude can also really add to the healing. I know, I have been through cancer 4 times. It just isn't the big scary bugga-bug it used to be. Hang in there, hold each other tight and know there are lots of prayers being said for the both of you. Keep us posted.

God wrapped his arms around Mike and said, "come sit beside me and show me how this scroll sawing thing works, I hear you are the man for the job". Mike will be missed.

Intarsia / Re: Working with bone?
« on: April 11, 2016, 11:00:46 am »
We used to butcher our own beef and used the large shank bone to do little things. We cut the bone length wise to get the largest pieces. We cut with a band saw. We did boil the bone and then let it dry for a few days just to make sure it didn't have any meat left on it. I did scrimshaw with it. Got pieces about 2 inches by 1-1/2. It depends on the size of the critter. Just remember when cutting bone it really smells bad. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
