The Coffee Shop / Looking for a little Advice

« on: January 19, 2018, 10:09:42 am »

My name is Dan Carmody and recently I have taken up the hobby of scroll sawing as I near retirement.  I hope to eventually sell some of my work in order to support my hobby after retirement.  I have received quite a few of Steve's free patterns that he e-mails and have made several of them so far.  If I sell something that I have made from one of Steve's free patterns, is it proper ethically to donate a portion of the sale to his website?  I have also purchased some patterns on line from other websites; do you think I need to pay a portion of those sales to the person that I bought the pattern from?   I would appreciate your input on this subject because I want to be sure that I do the right thing. I would appreciate any advice, thanks.

Ask Steve a question. / Dewalt DW788 foot pedal

« on: January 14, 2018, 06:58:55 pm »

I am currently using a Dewalt DW788 scroll-saw with an on and off foot pedal.  Sometimes when I am using it, all of a sudden it will start running at the highest speed on its own and then breaks the blade.  It does not do this if I do not use the foot pedal. Have you heard of this happening with any one else, and do you know of a fix for this?  I really like using the foot pedal!
