Scroll saw project - Update 2 Part B

Still waiting for the chooks to go to bed so I can put their food away and lock up, so may as well prep for tomorrow.

As mentioned in the last post with a scroll saw blade mounted in the jigsaw I am able to measure the height of the arm support so here I've pulled the thing apart to cut to length on the mitre saw.

Scroll saw project - Update 2

Bought a few more items from Bunnings yesterday so I could move on with the scroll saw build - today.

Starting to take shape  

At this point right here, with a scroll saw blade mounted in the inverted jigsaw, I can now measure, cut and mount the main saw arm.

Building a scroll saw

Early photos of a new project I just started - a scroll saw.

This scroll saw will be powered by a new ALDI Workzone 710W jigsaw, mounted upside down.

8" Bandsaw - revisited

This is just a overview of what I've been doing in the workshop over the last few days…and nights. I built the 8" bandsaw last year and since then have not been happy with the design of the upper wheel block blade tension and blade alignment components. Adjusting one effects the other, increasing tension jams up the tracking adjustment…plus other stuff. Basically that design was flawed so I am building a scaled down assembly very similar to the 14" bandsaw that I built earlier this year.

This is the upper wheel block blade tension and tracking assembly. It does work but to hard to setup up so I'm going to pull out the whole thing and start again.
