I cannot complain about the service my blades arrived very quickly but I have received no reply to my email.

A view that I have always held is that no matter what hobby you are involved in whether it be Fretwork or music or knitting, whatever, it does not really matter how good you are at it or whether you make money from it or even if it costs money, the main thing is that you enjoy what you are...

Well Razor, what can I say that is brilliant work, what an absolutely amazing standard of finish I just don't know how you could achieve such a high standard I certainly could not come even close! When you commented earlier about razors I thought you had used the word meaning something else...

Difficult to say what make of blades they supply with their own machines I suppose it depends if they put the blades with the saw or the company who make the saw supply the blades, you could try asking them but they might not know themselves! They seem to sell both Pegas and Faithful blades so...

To be honest it amazes me that anyone can make a profit or even pay their way making and selling hand made craft stuff such as fretwork, I imagine that it's more a labour of love than a way of making a few 'bob'. One can spend hours cutting out a nice piece and people will say "oh isn't that...

Indeed I had to read the post twice before I realised that razornut was actually restoring razors! Never heard of that as a hobby before, as you say it would be nice to see some pictures. :)

Hobbies sell the Niqua blades in 12's or 144's they also sell Olsen blades. http://www.alwayshobbies.com/tools/hand ... s#q=page.1

After using The Nigua blades for several decades I decided to try some FD blades recently and as I reported here sometime ago I had a lot of problems with blades breaking and coming out of the holders, but everyone at the time raved about the FD blades so thought it must be just me!

A very simple way to extend posts is to just butt both ends together then put a wooden plate either side of the join use a waterproof wood glue and screws or ring grip nails. It does not look very pretty but it is strong, often it is possible to place the join somewhere where it won't show or...

Picture of the hero!

Maurice you are correct it is genuine and legal to use (sort of) and you are correct that it is available for free however I imagine that just finding it was worth the £3 to you! Adobe decided to close their activation servers for Photoshop CS2 (and other CS2 suite programmes) but that meant...

Kierri, If you go to the Axminster site http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-tr ... scroll-saw and click the downloads tab you can download a pdf manual of the saw in question, it has all the details of the saw inc how to change the stroke inc pictures, well worth doing if you are thinking of...

Actually I don't.

I have quite a good reason to make things for this local GSD charity, We had from them a German Shepherd Dog which had been abandoned starving and left to die, about 1 year later the dog saved us when we had a serious fire downstairs which filled the house with thick choking smoke around 4:00am...

CorelDraw is brilliant I started using it back in 1992 with version 3 (it's now on ver17 [X7]) but use X5 myself only problem is that it's such a complex programme with a steep learning curve and unless you use it regularly you soon get out of practice. I bought Corel originally to do artwork...

Brian, why don't you do a test report on your Axminster with some pictures? I am sure it would be most interesting to myself and others here especially as it looks the same as a Hegner for a lot less money. :)

Hi Brian, The project is nowt special it's some hanging plaques I make for the German Shepherd rescue charity, I made some for them last year for their Christmas catalogue and they sold out and asked if I would make a few more, I made 28 yesterday stacked 4 at a time. This is what they look like...

Just thought I would post a couple of pictures of my Hegner quick clamp which I modified today, when one has a lot of cut-outs to do even using the knurled knob gets tiring so I simply drilled a small hole in the knurled edge tapped it with a 5/32 whitworth thread and screwed a Meccano threaded...

But does it find Toilet paper in that search? :mrgreen:

A good example of alternative spellings, Sainsburys online groceries, when I want toilet paper I type in bog roll and straight away it lists all the toilet papers! I only typed it for a laugh originally when looking for the item and was surprised when it found it!
