I am a ijit

[Cliff]

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.

Cliff this is why I don't show pictures of most of my shop for I can't get through the junk so I could take pictures if I wanted to.. 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.

Beats  robbing banks

Sell that baby.  You may think you have robbed the bank after the space has been realized and the wad of bills in your wallet.
