My recycled saw

[Robert H. Bigart]

I have started to scrolling less than a year ago and would like to show you my recycled scroll saw.

1. I bought my Craftsman saw at a local garage sale for $45.00 it was made in 1998/99 I think made in USA
    it was like brand new.

2. I mounted it on 3.5 inch block of wood covered with 1/8 inch thick spongy wet suit material,
    then installed in the block a vacuum connector.

3. I then placed the block on a recycled stainless steel Hospital cart that the wheels were worn out, and
    replaced them with only 3 new casters.(making it more stable)

4. The air hose was brittle and busted so I added a aquarium pump and flex connector.

5. I also added a flexible light with a on a piece of aluminum angle.

6. Then installed in the block a vacuum connector.

7. Then to top it all off I made 2 drawers and side panels.

Everything except the v-pump & flex lite are all recycled parts.

Very Ingenious if I must say.  Even Brilliant with what you have accomplished. 
     Well you have a reputation in my books as a Great Designer, so now I look
      forward to seeing your finished craft off the Craftsman Scroll Saw.           Danny  :+}

Recycling is the best way to go sometimes and you did a great job using stuff that somebody else thought was junk.  Looks really nice so lets start sawing and making some dust. LOL 
Nice job Bob.

Honestly , i started my scrolling with a 10 dollar used flea market Dremel saw 30+ years ago,
making animal kitchen magnets -that saw of yours looks miles better than
my first saw -One of my all time favorite saws is a combination of 3 worn out 15" Taiwan machines  -
I call Frankenstien -- i keep it around for good luck !
