I totally understand about the repetition. I am learning to play the piano myself... and there is lots of repetition. Thank goodness for headphones. I have a digital piano. :-)

Great question. Thanks for asking. I'm happy to answer. I have not tested this myself but other YouTubers who have the necessary equipment did do formal testing and I'm going off of their analysis... which again, is that this method (using bath towels) is far better... I believe it's up to 6 times better (not 100% sure about that, though) than any commercial product.
View Instructable »No. These will not eliminate 100% of the sound from leaving the room. These will reduce the echo inside the room which is undesired when recording voiceovers, podcasts, capturing video, etc. The more hexagons you have, the better it will do that... and yes, the sound escaping the room will decrease as well... but won't be entirely eliminated.

Great point, Graeme. Yes, blade guards should be used. Thanks for bringing that up.

Two new guitar players, huh? Well... it seems like these could really come in handy! I'm all about colors and your multi-color idea sounds great! Thanks for checking this out!
View Instructable »I'm also glad you like my shop and the tools in it. Fun fact: everything I buy is second-hand (through Craigslist, mostly)... if a tool isn't at least 50% off retail, I don't buy it. It took a while to acquire all the items and I'm happy to have them. :-)

Thanks for bringing that up. Yes. The blade height should be a short distance above the workpiece. I should have had the blade lower.

Thanks for asking! I'm happy to answer. My best response is: most likely, yes. There appear to be some differences with the outer case... so, I'm sure the screw placement may be different, but there seem to be many identical parts. I think you will be fine. My only suggestion is to take photos along the way so can you have a clear understanding of how it gets put back together... but again, my guess is that it's so similar that whatever differences there are will be very minor.Good luck!

It seems like the wedge might be missing or not installed properly. Remove the cover and watch the process happen... it should be noticeable what's causing the arm to remain still rather than move.

I didn't do this for my saw. It's important that the tension lever stay where you put it. In other words, you want it to stick to the location you set. I suppose if it's difficult to move the lever, some grease would help. Just be prepared to wipe it off if you "un-stick" it too much.Good luck!

I'm glad this worked for you. Perhaps make sure the lower metal enclosure is together nicely (no gaps)... and also that the rocker assemblies that hold the upper and lower blades are seated firm against the metal enclosure.

Hmmm. With the machine unplugged and the rear case off, try turning the motor shaft manually by spinning the counterweight. If that large pivot rod is seated, and the red washer is on the motor shaft, and the rocker assembly upper and lower bars are connected to the assemblies that hold the blade, it should move as expected.Note: All of those assembly parts are perfectly sized. If you didn't have to force anything in place, everything should line up perfectly and everything should spin/move when you turn the motor shaft manually.If you get it to work, please write back.

I'm glad you think this is excellent! Thanks for letting me know. That's awesome! Please share this with others who might benefit. :-)
Sounds good, SmokyBlue! I sure the concepts in this Instructable will apply to your Wren saw even if the parts are a little different.
View Instructable »Yeah... I'm sure the techniques here will apply to your saw even though your parts/mechanisms may be different. I hope what I have done helps you. Either way, thank you for checking this out. Please consider passing this along to anyone else who enjoys using the scroll saw. :-)Thanks again,Matt

Thanks for pointing that out. Rest assured, I have earplugs in 100% of the time. The large ear muff style kind won't fit over the face shield's plastic head straps. I really need to find a product that combines the face shield ear muffs... that'd be perfect.
