Pegas saw

[will8989]

Bob, thewoodworkingshows.com Baltimore is 1/3-1/5. Lately it seems they always have space. And it’s not that far for you to travel!
Hegner converted their top blower to a vacuum which I really like. What needs to be changed on the Pegas saw? I don’t want to buy something than need to change...

i watched Steve’s review of the saw. One thing I noticed was the dust collection is on the right side. This may be a drawback. My set up is everything is on my right, my current collection is on the left. I really don’t want to switch everything around. I really liked everything I saw but that....

Bob,

im looking to buy a Pegas scroll saw but can’t find any information as to stand, foot pedal, etc. can you point me in the right direction.

thanks

Betty

On to our next stop. Will post pics later.🎅🏻

I’m constantly moving and rearranging things. Drives Bruce crazy. The tablecloths are vintage and people will comment on them then see something they like. They were my Mother’s and she loved to come to the shows with me so I feel she is still there.

I’m going to a friend of ours who has a Pegas to try it. I want tilt arm, wide table and top feed blade. Not too much for a girl to ask for, is it?

instead of strips, Bruce cuts the ribs on a bandsaw but he uses the blanks I mess up or poplar for them. He cuts down 2 sides and I cut across the bottom on the scrollsaw. He tried the strips but didn’t like them. I usually sell 40-90 but this past week-end I sold 250!!! PHEW!

but no time to rest. Our 3 day show was amazing. Made table money plus on Friday, Saturday passed last year sales and Sunday was busy also. It was so cold and windy all 3 days. Glad I spent extra for the main warm building. Here’s some pics of the displays. We sold 250 cardholders. My last customer...

We got the sander last Tuesday but only had time to put it together. On Monday Bruce got it working and it is wonderful. So easy to use and adjust. He was able to sand a piece to 1/16” with no problem. Now for the saw.

[will8989]

I did but not anymore. I don’t want to take up floor space as I usually have a 10x10 space. Anything over 3 feet is too high for a table for the shorter people. I place a tree on the ends of my tables. We just refill them. Works great as we get to talk to the customers and point out new designs. Over...

That is so pretty. As for husband-wife projects in this house, hmmmm we would probably need a referee.

[will8989]

How did you do with the cardholders? They are my best sellers. I have mine on metal trees on the ends of 2 tables. I don’t like to block the floor with a display and it would be too tall on the table for the shorter customers. Each tree holds 60 and we constantly refill it and some usually just take...

3 day show this week end, than Fri-sat show next week, than farmers Mkt Saturday and Sunday until week-end before Christmas. PHEW! I’m tired just thinking about it. Good 5i g we got that sander to make Bruce’s work easier and faster!!!...

[will8989]

Thank you Carole, I was able to tell Bruce I told you so. For some reason lately my wood has been getting “wonky” after I cut a basket. I told Bruce I should be able to run a basket through the sander before gluing up to get the “wonkiness” out. That 1/16th drives me crazy!!! As for the sander,...

Actually Jim, I’m thinking a red Jaguar, late 60s. The super max 16x32 sander came today and he got wheels for it. It’s all together and almost ready to go after Bruce reads the directions.

[will8989]

I agree with what Carole says. I have been using mine for 18 years and it is a work horse. I’ve had to replace a few small parts, the screw that tightens the upper blade needs to be replaced occasionally, and the rollers on the upper arm need to be changed depending on usage. They cost a whole $1.00...

Bruce disassembled the old one and took it to his brother’s, in pieces, to be recycled. He recycles everything. Bruce wants to know what size wheels he needs. He wants to get them before it gets here. Guess he’s anxious to use it.

[will8989]

That’s also on my list to buy.

[will8989]

The good thing is I get to try several before buying. We have a friend we met about 10 years ago at a show and he lives 5 miles from us. He has 25, yes 25, saws. A lot are antiques, but he has the Jet, Pegas, just got the King and a few others. He does give lessons. I want simple, easy blade change...

Being delivered Tuesday. Now to get the old one out of the basement and to recycling at the dump.
