I am missing my car boots but still reluctant to go just yet I assume you got them at a car boot? If so what was it like, social distancing and mask wearing wise? Just curious as I can't quite see how its managed at a free for all like a car boot

The only saw I have come across that takes the 3" blades is the Dremel motosaw which is rather limited IMHO not to mention expensive for the blades

I think you are mistaken with the smallest Proxxon scroll saw which take standard blades, but its not like a usual scroll saw in that it bounces the blade up and down, its a single driven arm, I have not tried one but wouldn't want to be honest

Yes but I found at least two types using that search so a picture of the machine he has would be the most useful

Yes that is one of two I came across, *but* is either the machine the OP has bought? a photo of the actual machine is what is needed

You may be right but all others I have come across where they asked for or had coping saw blades fitted, turned out to be bog standard scroll saws that someone had fitted a coping saw blade to I photo of the saw would help greatly to establish the type and possibility of fitting the Axi clamps

I would agree with the last post on pinned blades, and would just add that there are pinned blades and then there are pinned blades ;-) The generic variety sold in DIY stores and often via ebay etc (for example Silverline) are rather agricultural compared to say Pegas pinned blades which are...

Do you have a photo of your machine to be better able to help you I suspect your machine is the same or similar to many other low end saws and should take standard pinned blades Despite whats been said on pinned blades you can still do a lot with them, pinless are far better of course and...

Thats interesting, I have never come across the brand or used name Naerok and at first did not find a scroll saw of that branding but a search for just Naerok machine brought up lathes, band saws etc and in one image a scroll saw (not sure that wouldn't come up in a search Further searching...

A google does not find your Naerok 16 scroll saw, are you sure of the name?

I am over near Newquay, although I was born in Leicestershire and moved here in 1997

Thanks for that , I shall have to put it on hold as Thursdays the next day I will have time to look at it I suspect I will end up making a new rail

I thought it would be a possible non starter, but you don't know until you try do you I did want to keep it as original as possible, partly as my own backside filled these chairs back in the day, as did my brother and sisters before me, they were a gift from my sister who was the last...

This is the top rail of a small childs chair of at least 60+ years vintage and probably more It was in a garage for some years and I presume the damp didn't help as the top rail tried to straighten itself and popped off one side So this is my effort to re-bend it back to the shape it once...

Thank you Daniel That was my thought also but sadly after the event when it was to late, it had not occurred to me whilst it sat there steaming for an hour, I think I will have to try it again supported Thanks for your reply

Okay I tried to steam a childs chair back earlier Not having a container large enough I used a large heavy duty plastic bag, sealed the steamer tube to it and folded the end over with spring clips, it steamed away happily for an hour like an inflated balloon I whipped it straight out and onto...

A good point well made Thank you for that

Thanks for yours, that is what I had assumed but wasn't sure on At the worst I can always do it again, its been in my to do list for some years so a little longer won't hurt but now having a grandson who could do with a chair, it has turned my attention to it ;-)

Thanks for the speedy reply, I was thinking a day would be about right I will give it a try and see what happens, always interesting trying something new

Hi all I posted a while back about steam bending the top rails on two childs chairs I have, which were in a damp garage and sprung open (tried to straighten themselves) I am just getting round to trying this, I will have a form ready and a source of steam etc , I gather about an hour...
