Russ, Can you give them away to friends and family. I know you can not sell them.
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.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: My new EX-21
« on: April 16, 2011, 07:13:40 am »
Looks like the EX-21 is the next step up from the Dewalt. Please let us know the improvements and increase value especially for making bowls on a scroll saw. Competing with turned bowls is difficult but with a scroll saw you make such better utilization of the wood. ie not so much waste on the floor.

You can get shelac in a spray can form at home depot for about 7 bucks. I found this finish will add a lot of depth and richness to the grain in exotic woods after the blo finish i first used to bring out the grain. More expensive than the normal poly but results can be better for me if you want your finish to pop.

Thanks so much for all your posting information. I always check out your links because of the valuable information they provide. I want you to know I appreciate your efforts and contributions to this site. It also has paid dividends to me as after several craiglist postings for dewalt scroll saws, I found one close to home still in the box never used for 250 dollars. I would never of had this opportunity if it were not for you. Keep up the good work and again thank you for all you do.

Do you use the form to clamp the eggs in. This makes is square and easier to cut. I cut two that were ok but the eggs are a little expensive especially for firewood.

The FD blades worked fine on the PC saw I purchased from lowes. The flat end I am sure helped. I did use an aquarium air blower attachment to blow dust away. I still have not master spiral blades but that is me and not the machine. You will be fine with FD spiral blades.

An good strong aquarium blower for a 60 to 80 gallon tank may due the trick.

thanks for the idea of cleaning the blades for the table saw. When cutting common pine it is not hard on the saw but with hard woods especially ebony, the blade can take a toll.

I listen to believe it or not opera. My son is an opera star who sings in opera houses around the world. It has been great because he has brought us with him to London, Paris, Strasburg, Vienna, Dresden, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rome, Naples to name a few. He sings in the US and Canada as well. At first I did not like it but now it is great.

Millinocket fire victims overwhelmed by town?s generosity
By Nick Sambides Jr., BDN Staff
Posted Feb. 24, 2011, at 4:37 p.m.
MILLINOCKET, Maine ? Mark Bulley says that if you had asked him two weeks ago what he thought of Millinocket residents, he?d have replied that ?they don?t care much about anybody.?
?I really would never have put much stock in most of the people here because they really keep to their own,? Bulley said Wednesday.
But that was before a fire gutted his three-story house at 49 Aroostook Ave. Since that calamitous event, Bulley said, residents have donated hundreds of items to his family, so many that the 45-year-old cabdriver and woodworker has had to return some of the gifts.
?I am overwhelmed,? Bulley said. ?They have been so nice and so generous. We are flooded with it now. I can?t believe the generosity of the town. It is just amazing. They have really come out.?
Hundreds of items of clothing, food, paper goods such as paper towels and toiletries have been donated to the Bulleys, including a guest cottage on East Terrace. Still other items, such as furniture, have been declined due to a lack of storage space, said Mark?s wife, 43-year-old Jean Bulley.
?It?s really humbling. The generosity is just enormous,? she said.
The fire apparently began in a clothing dryer at around 8 p.m. Feb. 17 and swept through the house, killing the family dog and several cats, firefighters said. Jean Bulley suffered smoke inhalation while trying to rescue the family?s pets and was treated at Millinocket Regional Hospital.
The house was not insured.
Family friend Laura Manzo and Crystal Anastos, owner of Serenity Salon and Day Spa on Central Street, have organized the relief efforts and with the aid of a few town civic groups are planning fundraisers to help the Bulleys get back on their feet.
They started a nonperishable food drive for the Bulleys on Wednesday. Anyone interested in donating goods or cash can visit the salon from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, Anastos said.
?With all the things they have received, you forget about stocking the cabinets with food, so we are starting with that,? Anastos said.
Anastos said she and her husband would pick up items for donation if residents called the salon at 723-5001. A driver for Big MT Cab of Millinocket, Bulley can be reached at 723-2000 if people need rides or want to make donations. Several businesses in town have also set out collection cans and more than $1,000 has been raised, Manzo said.
Manzo encouraged residents to donate to the Bulley family. The family could especially use a storage space in which they could put the furniture they have been offered. Manzo said Millinocket residents commonly come through for one another when tragedy strikes.
?Each and every time something bad happened in my life this town has really pulled through, and I am glad that the same thing is happening for them,? Manzo said of the Bulleys.
