Hi kstano83 ... Have you considered using the same type of locking lever on the EX21 used for the angle lock ? That lever is called in the UK, a Bristol lever and also commonly called an index lever. It's by far the easiest and best option for people who are looking for a quicker way to...

Hi Martin..... This saddens me to hear about your health problems. I know from your many posts here over time how scrolling was important, not just to you, but for the benefit of this forum. Although you can no longer scroll, please, with the help of your wife, give this forum the benefit of...

Awesome work Mechanism Man and if I remember correctly, you previously stated your, 'weapon of choice is a Rexon VS4003A'. That makes it even more awesome as it shows what can be achieved on a relatively cheap scrollsaw. Knowing that you are building such a complex mechanism with a budget saw...

Wow Col, your skill and ability to make something like that work is inspiring. You never cease to amaze with what you make and I for one applaud you !! =D> =D> =D>

Hi AES & Scrimper. After reading your posts I was intrigued about the 'Hobbies' story and especially the museum. I did a quick search but found no reference to an existing museum run by Hobbies. However, I did find a very informative timeline of events about Hobbies in the link below ...

Very nice work Brian and something to be proud of. Looking forward to your next project.

Nice find Martin and very interesting to watch. The nozzel he's using looks like an artist doing airbrushing and it's a shame he didn't show what the other nozzels can do. Very impressive though !

Hello Kierri. The plastic sleeves as supplied on the AWFS18 are designed as sacrificial components. The reason for this is twofold. First, it allows the company (as with most companies !) to make exorbitant profit from really cheap spare parts ! Second and most importantly, the sleeves are...

Waka, as I don't know the size blade you used to cut with, I can only suggest you try the next size down. As I said in my previous reply, it's not essential but jigsaws tend to look better if the gaps aren't overly large. Carter Johnson ( a member here who no longer posts) is a master of making...

The quote above is from another thread but I felt it needed a new thread to address the problem of scroll saw addiction ! Hey Brian. I know the feeling. I also visited a counsellor because of my scroll saw addiction and here's what he said. "My advice with this or any other full blown...

Really nice small scale scrolling there and I like it a lot.

Hello Waka. For a first time effort you've done great ! Maybe use a smaller blade next time to get closer fit but it's not essential. =D>

Absolutely Rob. A 4 legged stand needs a totally flat floor to be effective. A 3 legged stand will always find it's own stability thus making it a good choice if you intend moving it around on varying levels of uneven floor.

Maybe not conclusive but there are a lot of 'Right' signals coming in so far...Hmm ?

Hello John. If we could see the plans maybe we could help ?

Hello Landy. You forgot to state your eye dominance ?

Hi all. A friend sent me this link and I must say, I am surprised at the quality of what is a basic build. I was particularly impressed with the lower arm bearing guides and the rear tension clamp idea which I've not seen before. It just goes to show that with a little ingenuity, anything is...

Hi Landy. This is getting interesting as the eye dominance test has thrown a spanner in the works ! I cut clockwise and have updated my info below accordingly. It would be nice if others here replied in a similar format with their updated info as it should start to show a pattern.....well...

I'd like to thank Landy for bringing my attention to the dominant eye thingy. My original question about whether we cut clockwise or anti-clockwise has now turned into maybe why we cut that way. It made me look on the net for other eye tests that are maybe easier and more positive in the result...

That's not a stupid question at all boysie. I have made an image (below) of a name on a curve to answer your question in a way that shows it to good effect Being on a curve makes it more like a clock face. Those of us that cut clockwise would start from the left and those who cut anti-clockwise...
