November 27, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_210430 I have hated and loathed and despised this old Darra James scroll saw since the day i paid too much for it. It takes up too much room for a useless hunk of junk. So today I picked up the sledge hammer and was in mid swing when it dawned on me: Hey stupid this thing has a right angle reciprocating drive in it with an oil reservoir. And I stopped. Hey I can build a die filer or a saw toothing machine for those 24 TPI or 16 dovetails saws I make every so often. . It's got a lovely tilting table with no slop, And suddenly it's life was saved. SO now it'll be retired to some far corner of all those countless BILLIONS pf things I refused to throw away and maybe one day some day - - - - If I can just find the space. Report

It the very small pieces of wood that's eating my lunch.....especially with this carving thing I got going. Before I start carving I can see where I can glue small pieces on top of a few places here and there to give me a more wild swing of things... Probably don't affect anyone but me but hey, I gotta do something to pass the time. Report
