Interesting! the bottom half is 100% definitely hobbies imperial but as you mention the top is a little questionable if you look at the drawing of the Imperial it has a different designed top part plus I always understood that the Imperial came with the built in drill attachment, however it's...

Thanks for the interesting comments, I am not at all upset by them in fact I am delighted you took the trouble to make them, so I will try to give some notes to your comments 1. I felt my voice sounded a bit like a yokel TBH but I felt it was better to just say what I thought warts and all and...

Well what can I say you folks are just too kind! I have to admit I was quite dubious of putting the videos on here. For some time I have been so impressed with other videos on Youtube some are just superb and I have so much respect for people who go to all the trouble of making them to help...

Thanks for the comments I will try to answer as best I can. Firstly I only bought the camcorder on Friday so I am not at all sure what I am doing with it. The reason for separate parts is that when you pause the camera it creates a separate file and I have not got around to joining anything up...

Thanks for that Chris, I was a bit worried that they looked a bit rubbish and I do sound a bit like a Yokel! I just did another one on the Hegner saw but as I was showing the wife the power went off in protest! here is the link to the last one I did https://youtu.be/oVfNYFFSmjA By the way I...

I have always wanted to have a go at doing an instructional video but don't really know how to start, so on Friday I bought a cheap camcorder and made an attempt to doing a scroll-saw video. it is a first attempt and it is quite difficult trying to film yourself and do the narration and use the...

TBH I am always faced with the dilemma of how tight do I do up the clamps, on the one hand we are told that the adhesive is stronger than the wood so is squeezing most of it out not weakening the joint, on the other hand one does not want a glue line showing and anyway science says the wood is...

Old furniture that no one wants often provides some decent timber to use, especially drawers etc. Every thing I make comes from recycled materials and stuff people chuck out. only last week I was given an old dressing table, it was only pine but has rendered some very useful timber which has...

Hobbies sell small wood panels http://www.alwayshobbies.com/materials/wood/panels Many Model shops sell small panels too. It is an expensive way to buy. Personally I make my own small panels up but I do have a thicknesser.

http://www.everbuild.co.uk/adhesives/wo ... d-adhesive I used to but it from Toolstation but seem to have de-listed it now.

just to confirm I have never sanded the edges to be joined, they are always straight from the plane or router. :)

Many thanks for all the interesting replies, I have tried quite a few different brands of PVA and TBH they all seem to work about the same, for the last 10 years I have been using the Everbuild brands bought via Toolstation. at the moment I am using Everbuild 526 (D2) (interior use only) it does...

For many years I have been making my own boards by edge gluing then running them through the thicknesser, I have always used a PVA adhesive to join them. Now in the distance past I used to leave the edges to be glued a little rough (using a TCT sawblade) on the understanding that roughened...

Only just noticed this thread, what a fantastic piece of work. You must be very proud of it.

Not quite sure what you mean to be honest, in the piece shown below all of the cutting was done with a fretsaw and just a little sanding at the back to remove any kerf or cutout, no knife was involved.

I am quite sure you will be delighted with any Hegner you buy whether it be new or second-hand. You seem concerned as to whether the smaller saw will cut the thicker hard wood but as far as I am aware they both have the same motor and as the bigger one will cut thick hardwood I see no reason...

TBH I am not an intarsia fan (probably because I have never done any myself) but that BMW is pretty damn good! FWIW I have owned a Honda St1100 pan euro since 2002, I like shaftie tourers!

I know nowt about cut outs in violins but as far as blades go I can help a little, even the thickest Scroll saw blades are not very coarse and most can be used, generally speaking the reason for using the very fine blades is for very detailed work rather than being based on the thickness of...

Difficult question to answer, for general model making either of these saws would do the job, but to be honest so would many of the cheaper saws made by other companies. You will find either of these saws a delight to use and they are built to last, basically you can just take them out of the...

One thing you can do which helps with thicker blades when turning is round off the rear corners of the blade, you can do it whilst the saw is in motion.
