Have you also tried "roughing" up the blade ends? They do come with oil on them so a good cleaning might help too.

This is truly a shame. I posted a question two weeks ago. I have had 78 views but no replies. And it's a simple question. The other forum I hang out at has a few icons that can be clicked upon to show "sad", "confused" "thanks" and just a simple "like". How tough is that?

I posted a question in the "Introduce Yourself" forum. So far, it has been viewed many times but still no reply. I thought maybe Steve would see it and answer it but so far nothing. This forum site seems to be going nowhere. Sad. It should be the "go to" forum before all others but if nobody is watching over it I can see why nobody comes here anymore. To bad. We need all the info forums we can get. JMHO.

« on: February 28, 2018, 04:27:35 pm »I spend way too much time on the computer. That said, I open Facebook, Gmail, my financial page, and Scroll Saw Village everyday and leave them open all day long. I get notifications on my phone of new posts. I check them out if they are on a topic that interests me. I am a member of many different pages on FB but hardly every look at them. If I have a question on any topic, I find a forum somewhere that pertains to that subject. I got into metal detecting years ago and joined a ton of them. Then along came woodcarving. Another group of forums. I bought a diesel pickup and had no knowledge of diesels. Another forum. I have lived on forums for the past 15 years. FB will never take their place. So far, scroll sawing has become my number one interest and I do hang out at SSV most of the time but when things get slow there, I come here and one other one. So, I think it just might be the time of year. The weather man has not cooperated for most of you folks who live where I never would. I'm a warm weather person. If it gets below 60, I'm sitting here in my warm office playing on the computer. My wife won't let me bring my saw in here. She draws the line there. Summer is coming though and I'll bet it livens up here.

I brought my saw inside my house couple years back, the look on my other half's face was priceless, I told her it cost to much in propane plus its cold out side, and I don't have the tv to watch or listen too. She just shook her head and told me I am cleaning up my mess. It really didn't make that big of a mess, but I also kept a vacuum at my saw and after so many running cut minutes I cleaned it up, plus i had hardwood floors to sweep up as well.
Your wife must be way more understanding than mine. We have an agreement, the house is hers and the shop is mine. I mentioned it lightly about bringing my saw into my small man cave/office and the look I got was one of pure daggers and arrows. No words necessary. Ha! But, seriously, I know if I truly wanted to bring it in, she would let it pass. I might have to sleep on the floor of my office but otherwise, no problem.

Introduce Yourself. / How to show some reaction to a post
« on: February 27, 2018, 08:07:53 pm »
Is there any method for showing a reaction to a post? A way to "Like" what someone said or another type of reaction. So far I have found no way to show appreciation for a post or thread.

Thanks for the welcome folks. I do have a question maybe you can help with. I have looked around but can't find any "like" buttons or anything like that. Is there a way to respond to anybody's post besides actually doing a reply? Am I missing something?

Seems like the "service center" needs some schooling on customer service. And I don't believe for a minute that the shipper did all that damage. How in the world was it packaged for shipment?

This may sound like a silly question but are you sure you got YOUR saw back. Maybe they sent someone else's saw to you. Or on the motor issue, maybe they put the wrong motor back on your saw. There a many questions here regarding this repair. I'd insist on a new saw.

Hello, my name is Ray and I go by Octoolguy as I used to sell tools here in Orange County, Cal. U.S.A. I just joined the forum here today and I want to say thanks to Steve Good for putting this together.
I first got interested in scroll saw marquetry a couple of years ago but have been slow to get up and running. Many other things have taken precedence but now I am freed up. I bought a used DW788 type 1 and have been busy getting it all squared away and building a stand for it as the tubular stand that came with it was junk. That is now done and I am ready to learn the art of scroll sawing. I hope to learn a lot from hanging out here and at other scroll saw forums.
