Hi Danny, I have hesitated in posting a link to my videos as it does seem a bit vulgar promoting ones own Youtube efforts. However I have done a few videos on fret-working and scroll-sawing and within them you may find some useful hints and tips on using your Hegner saw. I have been using a...

Really interesting video. I have 14 large sash windows in my Victorian house and do take the frames to my workshop to repair them. I often wondered about their original construction and am impressed by the skill used in making them. My windows are made from pitch pine and when I do replace...

In my video link above I mention Lainchburys of Kingham Oxfordshire, my previous video entitled "something different" covers rocket heads made at Lainchburys and does have some information about them if anyone is interested. :) https://youtu.be/sdgOeit5ax0

Funnily enough whilst running through the video to put the titles on they looked shorter to me too. They are actually 1 3/4", though I agree they don't look that long in the video, it must be a trick of the lens. Thanks for the kind comment about my presenting style though you might be 'having...

I am afraid it's a bit boring but as I mentioned a screw retaining screwdriver in a previous video, I thought I would do a quick one about the subject. It's probably a bit boring for most but might entertain some given the mistakes shown, hopefully it might give a little amusement. As with all...

I notice the evidence of Loctite too, so it must have been done in production, I did consider doing the same on reassembly, however it did seem a tight fit and as it does not do much other than spin i decided to just leave it for now for two reasons. The first reason was that I thought I might...

I have owned a ELU MOF96E since 1988, a few weeks ago the bottom bearing seized up, I thought it might be useful to someone else with the same problem so I video's myself doing the repair. The video is in 2 parts and can be found here Part one https://youtu.be/rXflJFFPo1E Part two...

Thanks for the kind comment. Funnily enough not very long, I cut everything out in an afternoon, I did it really quick because it was freezing cold in my workshop and I wanted to get back into the warm house!

Thanks AES. I have 'created' many old probably long lost old Hobbies and Handicrafts patterns from small pictures. I am no expert at this but I scan the picture then enlarge it and process it using Photoshop. It is quite a long process because obviously the scanned image is poor especially as...

Thanks Naz and diger for your kind comments :) In case you are interested the video is here. https://youtu.be/r-AjaQi1SPI

I have just made a couple of fretwork brackets for my daughters for Christmas. I found a picture in a Hobbies 1938 annual but did not have the actual design so as you can see I have recreated a design for myself from the small image. One is a cat fan and the other likes witches so I have added a...

Ah see that's where you are wrong, Hegner owners have lot's of cash because of all the beautiful things people make on them that makes them lot's of lovely money! :D :mrgreen: FWIW my Hegner has never made me cash cos no one would want to buy what I make. :cry: Happy Christmas to Ruth and...

The comment above is the one that surprises me because the AWFS18 is a 'clone' of the Hegner, in fact if you painted it red and changed the logo you would be hard pressed to tell the difference! No one could possibly imagine that the AWFS18 was an original Axminster design, it's obvious they...

I can only assume that you were very unlucky to have received a faulty saw, because that is not my experience of the Hegner saw, in fact quite the opposite. I bought my Hegner in 1999 and from the moment I switched it on I found it completely vibration free and extremely quiet, in fact it is a...

Wait no more, it is now up and running. https://youtu.be/Wx-RkPfdsls Thank you for your kind comment.

News that one never likes to hear. Most of us never meet the people we chat to in various forums but you do feel you know them and it is always sad to hear of their passing. RIP ChippyGeoff

I am thinking about doing video number 3 this afternoon, but it's the day my daughter and grandson no 1 visits so I may not get it done! FWIW Video number 3 will cover the base or platform of the device also the tail/sail/rudder, whatever you wish to call it. :)

You are all very kind. I always dread putting these videos up on Youtube fearing that people will think them awful, but I so much like helping others make things. I don't rehearse or anything I just get the 'props' together stand by the camera for about 30 mins before having the courage to turn...

Some time ago a few folks here were asking about whirligigs, Being someone who likes making them decided to do some videos on how to make them. I have completed 2 videos so far if anyone is interested The first is an introduction to whirligigs https://youtu.be/3FfDOvw-neA The second covers...

That is interesting, I never thought of looking up Morton but you could be correct. The reason I first thought it might be to do with guns was that I remember watching an episode of Lovejoy where he had a pair of duelling pistols and the turn-screw was missing, when he found it it was a small...
