Handmade Wooden Toy Car Hot Rod 1927 T-Coupe From the Hot Rod Freaky Ford Series Do you have someone in your life who loves Hot Rods and Halloween? If so, this toy car might be a perfect gift for them. The orange and black color scheme is one of the best paint jobs I have ever done. It is a beautiful toy, but it could also be the perfect man cave or nursery decor. Handmade Wooden Toy Car Hot Rod 1927 T-Coupe From the Hot Rod Freaky Ford Series This is probably the glossiest finish I have ever put on any toy. The clear coat on the top of the already bright orange paint makes the color pop. If I were to do this over again, I would start with a white Zinsser B-I-N shellac-based White Interior Primer and Sealer to seal everything, and the white background under the orange paint would really make the colors pop.

AMT Scroll Saw This was my first scroll saw and the only one I used for forty plus years. I cut a lot of projects on this saw. I purchased it new direct from AMT. It is solid cast iron, which I am sure helped a lot with the vibration. The stand I purchased from Sears after the first attempt at cutting. At the time, I did all my work outdoors, and it was evident that using a scroll saw sitting on some 2x4s stretched across sawhorses wasn't going to hack it. I made some simple projects from one of Patrick Spielman's books and learned to use the saw cutting out little animals pallet wood.  Forty years later, my grandson plays with these. I still make them using small bits of wood leftover from other projects.

This isn't a how-to or tutorial. Although in hindsight, it could have been if I had taken the time to take a bunch of photos. Excalibur EX21 Scroll Saw With Table Removed This all started when I was cutting a project on my scroll saw, and it suddenly began making a knocking sound and vibrating badly. So bad that the blower tube was bouncing off the table. Slowing it down very slow let me finish what I was doing. After some troubleshooting with tech support, I determined that the noise and vibration were caused by an accumulation of wear in the various bearings. There are eleven bearings in this saw. Excalibur EX21 Scroll Saw Rocker Arm Attachment I could have ordered parts one or two at a time until I found the right part, but since we are fast approaching Christmas I bought complete assemblies and replaced all the moving parts except the motor. The photos were nearly unusable. Some things were completely missing. There were no instructions...
