I have a carosel I made on the lathe and it holds 12 tubes. Some scrollers just have the test tubes with end caps and attach a sticky label to each one stating the type and size of blade on them. I know some just have a block of wood with holes drilled into it to hold the loose blades. The...

For some weeks now several friends, and myself included, have been getting scam e-mails, they appear to be from friends but then it states, because of the privacy of this e-mail please go to the following link, or words to that effect. I opened the first one and it was some diet scam. Over the...

Hi Steve. I can't recall selling a plank with a hole in it. I've sold lots of planks in my time but the punters are not keen on holes.

That is lovely Martin. It has tons of appeal and I am sure it would sell very well as it is so unusual. If you made a load of those and came to one of my craft fairs you would sell loads of them.

I make a very good living from scroll saw work. I enjoy the craft fairs I attend. all the stall holders are like one big family, we help each other out and have a lot of fun. There is a down side, as Mark said, its a case of long hours in the workshop and it can become tedious, especially when...

Many thanks Ben for your reply, you have provided a wealth of information. Glad its all working out for you and I wish you well for the future. All the best.

That is excellent. Are you able to lock the wheels. You certainly have a large surface area so you will be able to tackle large projects or as large as the throat will allow. Being in a wheelchair you need things at just the right height so how did you determin what the height of the table...

I really feel for you and all the frustration and what makes it worse is that you now know you will have to wait another period of time before you can actually get to use it. I remember when I was waiting for my Hegner to arrive, every time I heard a van stop I would look out of the window. The...

There are several problems with the excalibur, especially from the design point of view. I had one and it went back because of to many problems. The table is to thin to start with and the special coating on it does not last long and then the table looks unsightly. The other major problem was the...

John. I did look on the other forum. Many thanks.

For a first time project that is absolutely brilliant. I can remember my first efforts and they were no where as good as what you have produced. You are obviously a natural born scroller, you have found your niche. Well done.

Many thanks guys. It's given me peace of mind.

When I went to my iMac this morning I had a number of e-mails, one of which was from a friend of mine, or so I thought. When I opened it there was a page from google and from the gist of it I concluded that my friend was a bit security conscious and wanted to make sure the e-mail was only sent...

Very nice indeed, excellent workmanship.

I know of one guy who actually re-sharpens his blades. I would not say he was tight but he turns the gas off when he turnes his bacon over. Seriousdly, because they are such low cost I throw mine. you can encounter several problems when a blade becomes blunt, mainly not being able to stay on the...

Amazing how some things can be disguised to look like something it isn't. Bad luck Martin. Now, had that been oak………………..

Well done Martin. Its always nice to try our hand at something new and its so easy to overlook something when we are tackling a new project for the first time. Many times I have done this and made mistakes despite thinking every step before hand. The existing bowl looks okay in the photo though.

In my workshop I have a couple of scroll saws, a drill press, a belt/disc sander. a router table, a dremel router and table. Several power sanders. A range of drum sanders for the drill press, a dewalt cross cut mitre saw, a dewalt cordless drill, a hand held router, power planer, 2 Henry's and...

Just thought I would chip in here. I have a couple of inserts for a hegner saw. I did put them on here some time ago and had a guy that wanted them but then I could not find them again. Now I have moved they have surfaced again and they are sitting on my computer desk and wont move until someone...

I see there is a Hegner multi cut 1 single spped for sale in the sale column. £175. Looks in good nick. The table insert and the air hose is missing but thats only a few extra quid. I think someone should snap it up.
