General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Can you transport a scrollsaw laying on it's side?
« on: May 16, 2019, 06:20:25 pm »
Funny story.
I have a dewalt saw. I saw that there were the things you could buy to raise the arm and thought it would be nice to have but I did not want to spend the money so thought I would figure a work around.
I saw in may garage right by the open door so i screwed a hook into the door while it was opened and attached a long bungee cord around the saw upper arm. Worked great,
So one day I was done sawing for the day and when i shut the garage door i heard a very loud thump against it.
Seems I had forgotten to un bungee cord the saw upper aram. when I opened the door again it was just dangling there by the hook in the door and the bungee cord.
Thank goodness no damage was done, i was so upset I was almost in tears.

I have a foot pedal and love it. I have the kind that you step on and the power comes on, take foot off and power cuts off. Its a very handy device, much better than I expected.
Its very handy for those tight, tiny corners where you just need another stroke or two of the blade.

Computer questions / Re: Some more info. about Firefox and----Not Responding.... :+(

No need to uninstall firefox. just install chrome. You can import the bookmarks no problem. Just takes a bit to get used to where stuff is. You can leave firefox on there and it wont bother anything.
Also before knocking yourself out with this, try clearing cache and cookies in firefox to see if that clears anything up. It can really help and is an easy fix 99% of the time. just look it up online how to do it, take 30 seconds.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Blade problem
« on: March 09, 2014, 12:36:24 pm »
2/0 are the biggest blade I use.
What will break them quickly is too much tension. Try backing off on it a bit and let it do its thing and they will last much longer.
Also the fast speed will break them very fast. I set the saw on its very slowest speed. Sounds boring but it works for me.

Follow the route that columbus took and it seems that there is a reason he landed where he did. getting back doesnt look as simple though.

« on: November 27, 2013, 08:42:10 pm »
I have a little $10 fish tank pump and tubing that i taped to the tube on my saw. I shoved the end of a ball point pen into the end of the tubing to make it pointier.
Works great for slow work when the bellows just dont enough air.

I have always wondered how this applies to tattoos.
Lots of people have disney or star wars tattoos and they paid money for them but the parent company got nothing. Clearly the tattoo artist made a profit.
