Title: Scrolling in the Desert
Post by: dmaiden70 on August 17, 2017, 03:16:05 pm
Hey everybody. Dave here. Just started scrolling again after many years off. I bought a little Wen to get started but then my wife ordered me the new Seyco for my birthday so anxiously awaiting that. Love Steve's site and patterns. Anxious to read tricks and tips. Now if the Phoenix temps can just get somewhere below the face of the sun I'll enjoy my workshop even more.

Welcome Dave.  Something that might help a bit to help moderate the temp a bit is to purchase a tarp and pitch it about 18 inches over the roof.  This gives the sun something other than your roof to soak into.  I have seen were something like this can drop the temp 10 - 20 degrees.  Just a thought.. anyway welcome to the Community and we love pictures of folks work.

Welcome.  Congrats on the new saw coming.  I have a Seyco.  Good saw.  I would strongly recommend watching Steve Good's video on assembling the saw.  It is somewhat different to assemble.  Very doable but more complex then any other saw you take out of the box and mount it on top of a stand.
