Hey Bruce,
Where did you find the scroll saw?
Charlie
On ebay look for "antique Delta scroll saw" some of them will also have the " American boy" script cast into the base as well, there are 3-4 on ebay currently, generally run between $80-$120. Make sure the work hold down arm is present (many are missing those) the arms are chrome plated and most are rusty, I held out for a good example which happened to be only 30 miles from my work...we did a cash deal.
Happy hunting 😄👍

I thought I would kick it up a notch & try the PMR #3 vertical, this is a good running steam engine with loads of power, it had no problem with the Delta scroll saw & a 3/4" piece of pine wood.

Bruce, I never knew such a saw existed in a size that can be run off model steam engine like the Stuart...very nice indeed!

Ranier , you have some of the finest steam accessories I have ever seen. nice acquisition.

This will be a big hit at the Shows Bruce!
It looks like you are going to have a completely new exhibit this year.
Well done sir.
Thanks Charlie , I try to change my display year over year to keep it fresh, this year. I plan on having a 3' x 10' table out front with the big boiler, (2) 1/2 hp Sipp engines, the big PMR vertical & the Stuart #1 engine all powering either the Wilcox & Gibbs sewing machine, Delta scroll saw, table saw & butter churn.

Very cool Ranier.
Thanks for sharing the pictures of your trio of saws.

Nice one!
More a real workshop machine than a steam toy accessory.
Recently I got in the big sister of my BISCHOFF band saw... I'm not shure if it was meant as a steam toy or as a Jeweler's workshop machine.
In comparison to the small 20cm BISCHOFF and the even smaller DOLL band saws its quite impressive.

Even in comparison to the bigger band saws of MARKLIN and FALK its quite large.

Hello folks
this is the last piece I was hoping to acquire before my next steam show Aug 4-7th
I just received this yesterday & did a light refurbishing of this wonderful little hand crank scroll saw, the only modification I did was to add a helper spring under the carriage to assist in lifting it for a more even rotation for a steam engine to run @ my steam shows. it is 12" tall, 11 1/2" at its longest point, the cast base is 5 3/8" x 4 3/8", the drive wheel is slotted for a treadle belt & is 5 1/2" OD. it has just under an 8" throat & takes a 5" pinned blade, still available today. weight is 6 lbs. 8.5 oz's. patent date is Aug. 21, 1923. very easy to turn over.
