Re: Shopsmith Christmas catalog
I just got a new old stock 2007 Excalibur scroll saw. From my research, the Jet, Pegas and Seyco are made in the same factory in Taiwan that used to make the Excalibur. That sounds right.

Re: Shopsmith Christmas catalog

Re: SC Johnson Paste Wax
Paste wax is wax dissolved in a solvent. Stoddard solvent is used in Johnson's Paste Wax. The first thing that comes to my mind is to leavel the lid off and see if it evaporates. I have had it be too thin after adding solvent to dried wax and fixed it by leaving the lid off for a while which is how ...

Re: Those irksome cut-offs-what to do !
Robert- I see you mentioned handling small pieces of wood on another thread. Do you have any suggestions on easiest ways to dimension something like this ? b It depends on what you will do with them and, of course, what dimensions you want. I will use my miter saw, or Shopsmith table saw if I want ...

Re: What kind of wood is this?
Black Locust - It sure does look like the photos in the Wood Database Wenge - I don't think this would be a match. The end grain looks different. Katalox - I only have one dark board. I'm guessing heartwood. The end grain is different. Rosewood - I don't notice any smell when I cut it, and it does n...
