Way to go Judy! That's not the kind of message we usually hear from people at shows. Encouraging!

Good to hear from you Gabby! Not as many posting as there used to be. I admit I don't post as much either, but I check daily for anything new. Keep your powder dry old friend!

The Coffee Shop / Re: To Any Dog People

I hesitate to write this because so many people are sensitive, but it is an old school method that works and doesn't harm the animal. If you find a gentler method, have at it!
Assemble a kit containing: white vinegar, Tabasco sauce, and whatever you use to clean up after a mess.
When the dog has an accident, lead him to the site. There is no need to rub his nose in it or anything of the sort, just express your disapproval without yelling and getting excited. You don't want to scare him, just let him know you aren't happy. Put 1 drop of the Tabasco sauce on a finger tip and rub it on his gum above the teeth. I know it sounds tough, but it doesn't hurt. It just causes an uncomfortable puckering sensation (try it on yourself, I have). Then take him immediately outside while you clean the area. The last step is to apply the white vinegar to the cleaned area to remove the scent. It is important to start this on a weekend or whenever you can be home for a couple of days. If you follow the procedure every time he will stop very quickly. If you are intermittent in the procedure it will take much much longer to work.
I love my dogs and wouldn't have even attempted this without trying the sauce on my own gums first!

I've never had a Hawk without variable speed, but I think now that you have it set up you will learn to love it.

Russ, It's always a good idea to thank military people for the service they offer us, but I would like to thank you, his family, for the sacrifices and emotional costs you bear as a result of his service. Thank you and all military Moms and Dads!

Comparing a Hawk to a Ryobi is like comparing a hamburger to a ribeye steak dinner. They both get the job done, but one is so much more enjoyable than the other.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: remilling decking timbers HELPPPPPP QUICK
« on: September 04, 2014, 05:59:05 am »
I mill all my lumber from rough. I wouldn't necessarily mill it all at once. You might consider doing it as needed. Even after milling the lumber may continue to warp, etc, so I let mine sit until needed and then mill to the thickness I need. I would suggest you get a scanner like a board wizard to check for nails and minor metal pieces embedded in the boards. One trip through the joiner or planner with a hidden nail can ruin a new set of blades. The small ones aren't real expensive. You have the process fight. Join 1 face, then 1 edge. Trim the other edge on the tablesaw or bandsaw, then run through the thickness planer for consistent thickness.
Here is a link to a site that explains the process in detail: http://www.woodworking.com/ww/Article/Face-Side-Face-Edge-and-Width-7607.aspx

You might want to check the age. Bushton Mfg now makes the Hawk products. I don't know how old a 2 speed might be. $350 is a good price for a variable speed model. Not sure on a 2 speed. You can also get parts lists and the original manual free from Bushton.

I have had 2 models of Hawk saw and think they are GREAT. I have never had a 2 speed though. Both of mine have been variable speed. The current one is a 226. You only concern is the condition of the motor since they are expensive to replace if they fail. That being said, it is rare for one to fail. You didn't indicate the price, but recently I posted a craigslist ad from the clearwater Florida area for a Hawk in the Swap Shop forum on this board, so you might compare there.
