oh good to know. Been looking at getting a cheap Scroll Saw but was worried about the Ozito brand because I got a jigsaw years ago and it only lasted 2 weeks (lost the receipt so basically threw away $$)Bg wrote:and they all have warranties.

Re: What's on your work bench?
I'm not giving the ozito brand the kdawg guarantee of invincability but, for the price, they're pretty good. Cutting square? That's a whole other issue!

Re: What's on your work bench?
I think that's the luck-of-the-draw factor with cheap tools... not the most consistent quality. Mine lasted a ridiculously long time until I lost it when we shifted.willow13 wrote:oh good to know.

yeah this was before I had a filing system ... I have one now (if you can call keeping all receipts in my wallet until the 30th, then giving them to the wife to sort )kdawg2a wrote:I'm not giving the ozito brand the kdawg guarantee of invincability but, for the price, they're pretty good.

Re: What's on your work bench?
No, mine are much smaller and fit into a humbucker housing. I also use neodymium magnets and they are much hotter than Bobiron's. I have one here for you as I pulled them out of my Gretsch copy and replaced them with Dynasonics.willow13 wrote:are these pretty much the same thing you build Sean?jvpp wrote:Very nice, so one coil per string yes?

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: What's on your work bench?
Excellent work! I like the way that the carve shows the top wood merging into the main body wood. Did you say somewhere what woods you used?
