If timber floors downstairs, it may be possible to take a cable down and under the void to the outside, then along the wall, or fit an external socket to connect your cable reel to? Cheaper than running a main lead into the garage.

Thanks for the photos, your shop looks busy and the new window bench is great. Tuning the bandsaw to run well is one of the first ythings to do so that it runs as you would like. These videos will help THE BEST FROM A BANDSAW 'Alex Snodgrass of Carter Industries has an excellent video...

Hi Mike, What do you call 'a lot' of seaoned logs? If there are a huge quantity, you could perhaps ask a sawmill to cut them for you if it's a one off job. If you are going to be continuing, then a bandsaw would do the job, but do you have a budget? Also, just wondering how long the logs have...

THEY ARE, The difference has been stated by everyone who has used the blades from Tuffsaw. Not sure what it is, but it certainly works. The only way you can tell is the try. then see the difference from what you have used before. I doubt very much that you would not then continue with...

Hi Matt,. I also ran my BS400 in my garage with a 13am supply and only tripped it a couple of times when heaters and other items were also being used. If you accept that on rare occassiuons, whilst running other things, you may get a power trip, then just remember when starting up, what else...

I think that this is more aplicable to experianced scrollers, but anyone new to scrolling should keep them in place until they feeel confident in handling ther work without the guard.

Don't forget Vall, all the guys on this forum are available for help and advice when you are back home, just as long as you can connect up and chat. Malcolm

Although I will be buying the new Axminster Ex 16 or 21, for you I would recommend the Hegner simply because of it's reliability and possibly world circulation. Therefore, although you may not be able to get servicing, the chances of others owning or knowing about a Hegner scrollswaw are far...

Great news Rob. Now the fun begins. Lets have plenty of photos of workjshop and as you progress. It is always good to actually 'see' what people are doing. Malcolm

I'm in - voted.

Axminster are already in the school market, but as long as machines do have an NVR switch, this gives them another opportunity with these machines to offer something else. The new EX scrollsaws are totally owned by Axminster rather than them acting as an agent for Excalibur, but since they...

I'm happy to give you any help I can Geoff and if you are ever up this way, lets get together for a chat. If you can stretch to the 300 series of Record, I believe they are more closely monitored by Record and you may be ablke to pick up a second hand one. The guarantee on new models is 5...

I think that the switch could be by-passed, but if you do that and have a problem, it may 'blow' your guarantee. I have asked again about foot switches and await replies. However, just to let everyone know what these ne machines look like, here are the actual photos of the new machines...

Thanks for that info. I looked at the page and saw the new machines, but having got in touch with the head office today, they tell me they are in and being checked for delivery to the stores. Part of the message to me at 11.23am was as follows, [ They arrived yesterday afternoon. At the moment...

These are available to rent and I have just 'googled' this https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid ... containers

The Record range carry a 5 year guarantee and have a good reputation. You get what you pay for, but if you could find the BS300 or 350 second hand, it would be an improvement.

Hey Brian, that's a superbly detailed 'picture' of how you go about it and a very good guide for anyone considering how to change photos into Intarsia patterns. I could picture every move you are making and it sounds facinating, This should form the start of 'How To' sections of the forum on...

An excellent work you have produced and I'm sure your Mum was delighted. Something she can treasure and always be thinking of you. Well done. Those bobin sanders work very well, I have one as well as other sanders, which all help on different items. Well worth getting, even second hand, as I...

Thanks for all the answers guys. As I said to start with, I'm rather thick at not doing this before and the editing scares me. I used to make Super 8 films and the sound and picture were always seperated, so that had to be catered for, but often a cutaway would do, that is until we shot a...

That looks interesting Brian. How do you now move the images to an Intarsia pattern? Is it a special software or do you just decide how many cuta and what colour and direction of grain. Malcolm
