This sounds very much like the old traveling salesman and the farmer's daughter stories only updated.
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.

I was a staunch Delta supporter for years (20+) but when they became undependable for parts and then sold out, I switched to a Hawk and have been very pleased with its performance. Was concerned when the company closed but the new owners appear to be doing great, ordered parts with no problem.

When did we switch languages? I didn't understand most of these posts and had not heard of most of the music that was mentioned until Graybeards post, those I am familiar with.

Just to let you know, the surgery went great. The biggest problem is all the drops you have to use before and after. Sure does help the vision. Can now watch tv without glasses.

If you can find a source for good eastern white pine, you will have better luck. It is not carried at the box stores. It will probably be 3/4" as I haven't seen it thinner. I plane or resaw it as needed and have had good luck. It is more fragile than a hard wood but is nice to work with.

Just read the aforementioned post and have to agree with Don and John. This site is hosted in the US and is shared world wide. It is enjoyable to hear from people around the globe but someone that negative should go elsewhere.

I have taken both magazines since 1994 but have allowed Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts to lapse as I don't do intarsia and it has become more intarsia than anything else.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Anyone do it standing up?
« on: June 18, 2010, 09:45:03 pm »
You really like to start things don't you?
On a serious side, standing doesn't work with my bad back and sitting, I have to have my feet up due to bad knees therefore no foot pedal.
Whoever called these the golden years was color blind, it's pure rust.

JD, there is no problem with being divorced. I was married 50 yrs ago and divorced 47 yrs ago. So far haven't met anyone I couldn't live without. My ex has since passed so now I tell everyone that I am a widower.
