It is set up and ready to go on top of one of my drawer units! So much better than getting the scroll saw out and set up every time I need some trim!

It is helpful to know not only the process but also the choices made and why they work better or not. It's an elegant sofa, well done.Shelleybwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385950719253586781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-19046542316837821072015-12-23T19:04:44.553-08:002015-12-23T19:04:44.553-08:00I got another at HF for 18 bucks.

It was a return... it turns out the instruction book says nothing about the hole in the bottom to hold the shaft while you tighten or loosen a blade. The blade was too loose to cut, so poof... back it went.<br /><br />The one I got is all black, and since the RS switch has a black surround and red button it should look very stealth. I am going to revamp the base and shoot a new series showing the entire modification, although the current base works really well.<br />Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655032161903830844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-59462998649367190702015-12-23T17:19:43.753-08:002015-12-23T17:19:43.753-08:00Thank you, Gary!
