General Scroll Saw Talk / Seyco Saw Company
« on: May 02, 2019, 08:54:27 am »
Just ordered a Seyco S21. I have been itching to buy a new saw, last fall my Old Yeller Dewalt developed a few issues, bearing sleeve replacement, complete re grease, switch and blade chucks Its now running like a top but the itching continued. I researched saws eying the new Pegas and the Exceselsor . The Excelsor is sold here in Canada  my favorite tool supply store has them in stock. The Seyco saw became the one I felt suited me best. I called Ray at Seyco, a very pleasant and knowledgeable man and discussed a purchase, The Seyco included shipping with in U.S but I would have to pay to ship into to Canada or have it shipped to a Border location and pick it up myself. Our Passports are getting mouldy so a drive about in U.S would be nice, Always wanted to explore our Scandinavian Heritage site in Minot ND so decision made. Called Ray a week later and ordered the saw,and dust collector. Each Canadian is allowed to bring in $800. 00 in goods from U.S with out any tax or Border fee burdens. I would have to pay some extra at the border. The dust collection system is shipped in my wife's name, that will help. Ray called a few days later, saying he hadn't processed the order yet as the saw was going on sale and I see Steve has the sale price ad on his daily page today. Point I am trying to make is I appreciate that Ray informed me of the pending sale price and waited on processing the order until the sale was available. So I added the scroller drill to the order as well. Now come the end of May I will have completed a 2500 mile drive about and a shop full of toys from Seyco. Life looks good.

I want to make a 60 to 70 piece photo puzzle from an 8.5 x 11 photo. I have Steve's puzzle pattern book but there are no patterns that would fit an 8.5 x 11 photo.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Stickman Steve

Steve Good has an amazing imagination combined with an exceptional story telling gift and enjoys sharing this gift with us. This js a nice thing he does.  Perhaps he is just lonely and is creating these stick people for company as blog posting have slowed down.
 
I am presently working on the Stickman Chess project, building two sets at once. If I figure out how to post pictures I may share it with everyone.

Have a good day folks

The Coffee Shop / Tragic Accident
« on: April 07, 2018, 11:36:56 am »
Our neck of the woods is deep into hockey play-offs from small kids teams to more advanced. the junior (20 and under) team from our community (Nipawin Hawks) was to begin the league champion series  against a neighbor town (Humboldt Broncos). The Broncos bus was in collision with a semi trailer. the 28 players and coaches on the bus suffered 14 fatalities and 14 critical injured. It is a sad time here. it appears the westbound semi truck did not stop at a stop sign and the northbound bus could not avoid the collision.

The Humboldt Broncos team over the years developed many National league players, some are in the hall of fame. The Humboldt community also have sent several athletes to the Olympics in other sports.

The Coffee Shop / Happy Easter 2018
« on: April 01, 2018, 09:43:09 am »
Wishing a Happy 2018 Easter to everyone, I live in North East Saskatchewan and the Easter Bunny that lives somewhere in our yard is still white and enjoying three and a half feet of hard crusty snow. He leaves his eggs on top of the snow banks; they are brown colored not the colorful ones from Walmart and taste like S----. So wont be gathering any of them.

Enough small talk remember " He is Risen"

General Scroll Saw Talk / Shop Air quality
« on: March 25, 2018, 08:52:11 am »
read Steve's essay on the Wen Air Infiltration Cleaning system posted today. Very good info and an especially good topic for me. I have COPD so good air filtration in my shop is essential or I become  a sick puppy. I love my hobby and life would be really void if I could not work at it. I installed a King system a year ago. I use it much similar to Steve's method and need to clean the pre filter often. I also use a dust mask most of the time and try to use local sawdust collection on my larger power tools and sanders as often as possible. This winter was really cold; cold effected my breathing so a nice warm shop is a piece of heaven during our long winter months.

have a good day and happy scrolling
