New Addition........ TWINS! - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

core-eagle · 09-26-2006, 04:29 AM

Just got the new addition for my daughter to use (and granddaughter when she's older, just 3 months now) It is a type 1 Dewalt 788, on the left. On the right is a type 2 Dewalt. My daughter has taken an interest and I couldn't pass this saw by. Awesome deal! Looks like 2X sawdust this winter.

Now that is too cool! Congrats!

Two saws

? Now that's just plain greedy. You wouldn't catch me being so self-indulgent, no sirreee!

Oh, I forgot, one's for the family. Yeah, right

Tim,

If you practice real hard, maybe you can learn to use both at the same time - wouldn't that be something to see!!!! Kind of like stack cutting with a difference!

Doesn't everybody have at least 2 saws?

Tim,
I like your ring lamp holder, did you make it.?

There is a striking resemblance to my twins, except mine arent potty trained yet, theres piles of droppings under both of them!

Congrats on the other saw. After you get a few hours on it, do a review of the series 2 compared to the number 1. Dale

Thought about using one with left hand and other with right but........... don't think so.

Wondered if I could use it as a duplicator?

My daughter is coming over later this week to try it out. Wants to cut out some puzzles for my granddaughter.

Rolf - Yes the light holder is homemade. Got a pattern from Meisels about 3 years ago and made it.
