Nice one Naz. Looks like it was several smaller sectiones glued before being cut. Malcolm

Hi Colin, not seen you areound before, so welcome. I have been making these for about 3 years, when I started woodworking after retirement. So if I can do it, you can. It just takes time to get it right and have the bandsaw working well. Do you have a bandsaw and if so, which model. What type...

Thanks Sunnybob. I thought that it looked deeper than most boxes. I tend to keep to about 4.5" although many makers abroad are shallower, but 7" is a size to be recconed with. She will be delighted I'm sure. Good choice on finish and I have used the Tru-Oil to get a good gloss type finish...

Hey sunnybob, that a very nice combination of wood. What are the overall dimentions and what is the darker wood have you used and what finish was applied please. Malcolm

Hi Alan, Either will do, according to what you have in mind for the finished box. Only this week I decided that I ought to get moving again with more boxes, after a long laps, and cut blanks from a couple of round blanks ( use those for the front and back) and other timber for the centre to...

Hello Mrs C and welcome to the forum. Little bandsaws like that are nice to work with provided they are set up correctly and that takes a little bit of time. On this forum thare are quite a number of woodworkers with bandsaws and if you can be more specific with your location (not your...

It's a big area West Midlands. Can you narrow it down a bit. I am over at Wythall (A453)and fortunately have a sawmills just up the road, but Sykes Timber at Atherstone is great and Ben Donnelly is very very helpful. Lots of offcuts and all the varieties of timber you are liklely to need. If...

The intarsia looks good phill, but I would love to see a few closer images of that and the case if you can manage it and details of the intarsia.

Do you have to spend it? I'm sure that Amazon would not be dissapointed if you saved it up until later in the year when you can buy something you need.

The video for tensioning is at the bottom of this post:- THE BEST FROM A BANDSAW 'Alex Snodgrass of Carter Industries has an excellent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGbZqWac0jU on a tune up method that works well, but if you want to get the best use of your bandsaw on an ongoing basis...

Have you thought about phoning Titan to see if there is a way to correct the problem. Some scrollsaws do have different adjustments that can be made to alter the front to back verticle, but your instruction manual does not show anything. It could be a genuine fault with the saw you have...

Just going on cruise but also have a voucher not wanted, but have to wait a couple of weeks before it could be sent. Leave a message if wanted. Malcolm

I had one when I started woodworking a few years ago. Once tuned up and with Tuffsaw blades it worked very well indeed. Only changed it when I went for a much larger machine. Agree with above, the fence was not so hot, but I added a plywood larger table top and used a 3 x 2 with clamps as a...

Brian, If you believe that the UK Government and companies can control the EU legislation, then you have not understood the years that we have been members. If they did, why would there ever be a need to leave. Perhaps you need to look a little deeper into the facts and figures and really...

A hard glossier finish - Tru-Oil - wipe or brush on and wipe off. I was very surprised how good it is although expensive

Sounds like a mamouth task, but sure you will surprise us all with a fantastic Red Kite.

I bought one of the AndyT wooden clamps from Axminster and it works well on ther scrollsaw when cutting small bits. It also ensures that the cut stays vertical, which is important. Being made of wood, it slides nicely on the table. I believe it would work well for you Brian. Malcolm
