Thanks for that Birds of Prey is not that far from us so may visit there when next on Odd I hadn't heard of it before, and we stand craft fairs there too

Morning Is this a free entry event ? I also notice there are more demonstration days at the Cornish Birds of Prey Centre , are they open to all ? I presume so but just checking Cheers

Do you have any examples of that happening?

I don't think it was a problem to be fair and fairly obvious what it should be As to the manual, really there is no need to scan it as its there on Axminsters site for all to download for free I can complain about many things re "improvements" or "advancements" in technology, but the ability...

If not aware the brochure and manual for the Axi 21 are available on the Axminster site for download The manual gives the sizes etc

Thats a small scroll saw AES ;-) I suspect your mm is cm ?

I have only owned one Hegner, it was a single speed and vibrated way more than I expected or could put up with so sold it on I have an AWFS18 Axminster (Hegner clone) a wonderful machine, and does all I need of a scroll saw Virtually vibration free

I have often seen the same on all manner of things sold on ebay I think some people just get caught up in the thrill of the auction Makes very little sense does it

Not sure if its the same model but I picked up a 10" Picador a couple of years ago for the princely sum of £9 It was pre velcro, so added a velcro base to the disc by adding strips of velcro which has worked fine ever since I bought 120 grit to test it out and have found that fine for most...

My conversion

Its a curious thing that some cheap end saws vibrate like mad, yet others of the same brand or design do not, and likewise some upper end saws also suffer with it yet most don't As has been said, bolting it down firmly may help reduce it as does hoovering all dust frequently and lubricating...

I have one, but bought mine a long while back and believe its slightly different to the latest batch so cannot really give a comparison I don't use it heavily but when needed it works fine

Lesson learned (well to a point anyway ;-) I shouldn't have rushed into using the Danish oil Depends what you mean by "spray lacquer" and on your definition of "dried". Safest not to.

Thanks for that, I hadn't considered how they dried/hardened or cured I did only put the finest of coats on and will try a buff up as a first test just to see what they turn out like Sometimes you rush in to try something without fully understanding the implications Ah well nothing...

A valid point well made Good job I hadn't it yet then ;-) Thank you

Thanks for yours I did wonder how long it would take to dry thoroughly, in the past using BLO it seemed to take an age to dry but in this case I used a very small amount applied by cloth Then left them hanging over a radiator to dry I will try wax first and if the result is okay I will go...

Thanks for yours, do I have to? well no I don't suppose so I will try lacquering one just as a tester, but will also try wax on another just to see They are lucets so not terribly ornate, but do want a nice smooth finish, both for use and to be tactile

Hmmm I am beginning to regret using Danish oil I should have just lacquered them instead I will try a test in the morning and see what happens on one piece before proceeding Many thanks for the replies thus far, all appreciated

I haven't used Danish oil before and thought I would give it a try on some scroll sawed items I gave them one coat but could do with them being ready tomorrow is possible So wanted to know if I can spray lacquer over the one coat of (dried) Danish oil ?

Just to follow up on my post Your suggestion was correct although its an RBI The clincher was the flag badge when compared to others
