Why do people just give me things? Do I have that kind of face? Is it pheromones? The guy I bought my table saw from just sent me an e-mail. HE'S GIVING ME A FREE loving SCROLL SAW!!!*@*!!! OH AND AN ENTIRE DISASSEMBLED ONE TOO!!!!$9!!!! Why? No idea. Maybe he thinks I'm cute. I don't really give a poo poo. I am now feeling like this is just happening too much for it to be random coincidence. I am loving falling rear end backward into free poo poo and I don't know what I did, cosmically, to deserve it. Someone come and touch my hand for good luck. I might be blessed or something.

Maybe you were not Ghengis Khan in a previous life, and you just did some cool poo poo and helped people out, and now in this life you are reaping positive karma stuff.

I warn thee though, be wary of gifted tools. An ancient lathe, would destroy my garage, a gifted scroll saw will only break blades and not saw a thing, a sanding table that would not track and rip the papers apart... Perhaps it is me though, I may have been the Ghengis Khan in a previous life.

Grats on the free tools though, that is always fun to play with new toys.

Sounds like he's trying to unload a bunch of DNA-contaminated evidence upon you. You might even get a free deep freezer before it's all said and done.

This jives with the many past life regressions I have paid for. I am freakin' jazzed out of my mind to play with this cool rear end tool. It's loving vintage too which just makes me drat salivate.

I haven't in a while. I'm flush in project wood right now so I just haven't had a reason. I need someone from the south of me to bring me a shed limb of myrtle really really badly. I have the tiniest bit and I loving love it and desperately want more.

I have recieved the free scroll saw. Behold:

Here's the "ready to go" one. It's a 1955 Dunlap


Here is the one that's ready to be restored, also came with the original motor. Placards are all worn so until I find something stamped in the metal we don't know what it is beside some Craftsman model from some time


Guy also gave me A loving VICE THAT I HAVE NEEDED FOREVER BUT THEY ARE LIKE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS!!!!

Let us rejoice.

Me? Wood. But since they use coping saw blades you can, very carefully, cut metal with them too.

I found a pdf of the user manual for the Dunlap. I'm supposed to fill the crankcase with auto oil. I mean, I know the thing is nearing 70 years old but this is some extremely old-school poo poo right here.

Nice pics OP so sexy, but show me the size of the blade that goes on there, I think my dad has like 5 of these and iirc correctly the little blade that goes on it wouldn't cut anything well, but i have no clue about anything.

It takes a 6" coping saw blade. I mean, they're tiny but I've used many to cut silly shapes and never had a terrible problem with blade distortion. Granted I was using a hand-tool.

Cool yeah, that is what I thought they were, best of luck! Might get one of my dads and try to do some cool poo poo too. Plus like the go up and down real quick so that helps too. Like would you cut a 2x4 on there or is it for smaller sizes?

This saw has about a 4" throat but, no, it wouldn't be my first choice for such a job. It could but that is in the realm of miter saws and table saws. Mostly it'll get used to cut down my hobby boards into stuff that's small enough for me to work into jewelry. Also cutting out some more exotic forms for silly projects.

Oregon myrtle. It's endemic to a part of the oregon dunes 30 or so miles south of me.
