Thanks for these new videos John. They really are good. I need some wood for the exercises in my book and am having trouble finding any wood that fits the bill. take care Don W

Hi, Its me again, just looking in to say I have a couple of books on scroll sawing and they are showing me some great stuff. I have cut the first 2 exercises, they recommend a #5 skip tooth , so that is what I used, great stuff, no rough bits on top and very little underneath. I think I will...

A remarkable piece of work there Brian. Thanks for showing.

I think this fabulous Brian. You obviously know your subject and the medium you work in.

@ scrimper, yes I am new to the scroll saw as you can see. The pattern I like very much but it is, as you pointed out, a bit ambitious for me. As I said I am trying to get used to the saw and the blades. I have purchased a couple of books and will work my way through them, hopefully picking up...

I have just gone to the shed and taken some pictures to see if they are any help. pic_1b is the Christine Ellenburg pattern I am using. pic_2b is the middle of the wing showing where the piece has broken out. @scrimper, I have just finished looking through your videos and they are fabulous...

Thanks Guys for all your answers. I was using the Olson Crown tooth blade on that particular project and it seems to have teeth that point up and down and cuts both ways. @ scrimper, this particular piece of ply was a cheap buy, the whole sheet (8 x 4) was less than £15. It has one face that is...

Hi All, I am having some success with my new Parkside machine. I am also happy with the blades I am trying out (Olsen various ) But there seems to be a problem with the plywood I am using. It keeps breaking out on the top surface ? Is there a grade of plywood I should be using. ? Be careful if...

Very nicely indeed Brian

I found the videos fascinating and very well made. Thanks a lot for showing them, one thing I read/heard/saw/? recently was that a video should be made in 5 minute segments maximum, after 5 minutes your audience interest starts to drift.

Superb workmanship there. Thanks for showing.

Looks an excellent piece Brian. Well done.

Any kind of clamp or G-clamp, if you clamp to the wood and turn the head of the clamp down against the table it should stop the wood turning

Excellent ideas there. My todo list is getting bigger.

That looks brilliant. Thanks for showing.

Extremely sorry sorry to hear of your troubles with this machine. I hope you can see this this through as it looks a very useful piece of kit. That's a bummer having to quit the workshop, would it be a better idea to get another workshop first before refurbishing this machine ?

Lucky you, great pictures.

Looks almost identical to the Parkside I bought recently for £59.99, and great value at that price.

Thanks for all your experiences guys. It does seem to be a very mixed bag of answers, some wouldn't be without and some wouldn't be with. This machine has a NVR switch at the front which acts as an On/Off switch so I reckon it will be a little difficult to fit a foot switch, so I will leave that...

@ Malcolm, for my newly purchased Parkside/Scheppach scroll saw. I think the saw a pretty good buy but while I am still fettling it I thought I could add a foot switch. Would it be a simple job ? @ woodfarmer, a good idea that, we had 2 lathes in the workshop that had a foot pedal that ran the...
