Thanks guys, I should have said that these kids are all well up and what I'm doing are just name plates. MDF is great for a few things and I'm aware of the dangers but this was an offcut that I just wanted to do this first wee project with and it has certainly been a good learning things. Will...

Hi friends, I am slowly getting to grips with my 2nd Hegner and really appreciate all I have learnt here, both from direct questions and from searches I have done on this forum. I am working on some stuff for g/kids for Christmas and just using some 10mm MDF and I'm wondering for suggestion on...

Thank Gary - yes all went well and home safe, long day though!! So far very pleased with the saw thought haven't had much time to find my way around it yet!

Is it my imagination or used there to be a pinned post here with a 2-part video about buying a cheap scroll saw and or buying a good one? Ken

LOL, just noticed I'll be in your county, Gary, tomorrow to pick this thing up near Scarborough!! k

Thanks Gary, I didn't go for the Charnwood in the end but I am on my way tomorrow to pick up a Hegner 2S Variable that I bought on Ebay so the hunt is at an end, now the learning begins!! Be interested to hear how you get on with yours Best, Ken

Hi friends, just following up on my query earlier in the week, I notice someone this island selling one of the above. Any comments on this scroll saw? Ken

Thanks AES, you summed the situation up very well - just going to have to bite the bullet one of these days. I see lots of interesting things on 'E' but mostly in GB and being in NI I just can't jump in the car and go see! Thanks as always !

Thanks, Blister, am looking at several there, it's where I came across this one . . . ;)

Yes, scary isn't it! TBH the basic Hegner starts at just over £500 but if decided to go that way I'd want the one at near £900! If spending that type of cash down the line I'd also covet a Pegas but, no dealer in the UK AFAICS, so I'd have to pay over €100 to get it from Germany and then what...

Thanks, Brian, I know what you mean, just a case of balance - I feel I'd rather spend £130 and lose most of it if it didn't work our than spend £700/800 and lose half of that but I do appreciate your input :)

Hi folks, I've been lurking about here for a couple of months now & interested in moving into scroll saw work. I have seen the benefits of a top-class machine and have looked at buying a Hegner, and got some great advice here! However, I feel it may be prudent to spend £100/150 on a saw just...

Got you, Sam - thanks!

Derrick was still doing park runs last i saw him! Small world!!

'Bout ye Sam - thanks for the welcome. Did you know Derrick Boyd at Campbell? Feel like I know Northumberland after binging on 'Vera' and reading LJ Ross books through the lockdown - desperately need to get back working some wood! Cheers, k

Hi Droogs, thanks for the welcome. Glad to hear there are fellow country persons here! I would love to be able to see some saw(s) in action and find out where on this island I could get saws, suitable wood and ancillary bits & pieces that I am going to need - so anyone anyone prepared to have...

Hello everyone, I moved house a year ago and had to say bye to my double garage workshop but am missing working with wood so much!! I have a shed and I am minded to move into scroll saw work and have learnt so much from this group so far! I am in N. Ireland and am wondering if there is anyone...
