and they all have warranties. Keep the reciept, if it crocks out every year, you can have a new one for life! I have no problem buying cheap ;) Most of the stuff I have though has lasted way out of its warranty - so thats ozito, number9 etc
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

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 $$)

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!

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.

yeah this was before I had a filing system :rofl: ... 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 :mrgreen: )

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.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

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?
