We shall look forward to seeing the finished pattern Bryan, now doubt it will be to your normal very high standard of workmanship. Thanks to Martin Bryan I have at long last resolved the dust problem. Will send you an e-mail later with some photos of it.

As you so rightly said Martin. You should have had the ply a bit over size. Its very difficult when wood had warped, especially in the hardwoods that I use. With me I can take a lot of it out on the belt sander but you cant do that. You need to apply as much pressure as possible around the blade...

If you cant find one Bryan I have about 50 bunnies in my collection and I am sure there would be a floppy eared one there. I think they are a Dutch bunny originally.

That looks a beauty Martin. If I had the time to do it up I would buy it. The table looks a decent size as well.

I order my scroll saw blades from America and have done so for years and the longest I have had to wait is a week.

Hi Mark. The new system has been running a couple of days now with both Henry's and very pleased with the end result. But there was a problem. The blower hose is about half an inch and it was overworking the Henry so I made another modification just now. I bought another air hose thanks to a...

Hi Mark. Over the last year I have tried so many ways to capture the dust. The exyraction port on my hegner is next to useless. I had an air hose going into the small hole and blanked off the bigger hole, its only on the newer models. I had both hoses from top and bottom of the table going into...

I was a bit impatient Martin. As soon as I saw that hose on e-bay I saw it as the answer and it was after I ordered it that I did another modification and it works perfectly, way beyond all my expectations. The second Henry will arrive on Monday and I know I will be completely dust free then.

Hi Marcros. The old vacuum that I had was so noisy and hardly any suck on it at all so I have binned it. I have now reached the perfect solution. I had thought of a cyclone but I just dont have the room. I have rigged the air blower hose directly to Henry now. At first I thought it would be to...

Amazing, just brilliant.

I would use white acrylic primer with a decent brush, maybe water it down a bit.

Nice to hear from you Phil. I have looked at the Bosch vacuums and can only find the wet and dry ones at one hell of a price. I have ruled out festool as they are like Hegners, way over priced. The one Seyco do is very nice but 2 main problems, the voltage is not the same as ours and they wont...

Thanks for the link Martin. I just ordered one that has a funnel on the end. I am still not happy with my system so I am going to re-instate the air hose so it blows and then rig the new hose with the funnel to the Henry on the theory that the blower will blow the dust into the funnel of the new...

Some time ago someone mentioned about a small dust extractor designed for a scroll saw that was available in America. I cannot remember who it was now but they said they were going to make enquiries to see if it was available in the UK. Apparently it is veryu small, powerful and very quiet and...

I need to buy a couple of rolls of sandpaper and thought I would look on e-bay. There is quite a few to choose from but like most things on e-bay I expect there is some rubbish as well and I am not sure what to go for. I have seen one on there called Mirka Promax, has anyone bought this or could...

I don't know why you just don't use masking tape, its so easy. As for wetting the wood, I would ruing everything if I did that.

As Mark has said, we all have our own preferences. Personally I prefer to use masking tape as it would take to long to sand the pattern off glues straight to the wood. I only use 18mm hardwoods and when I get my wood from my supplier it has been planed and smooth. Peeling the masking tape off...

I am not sure if there has been a miss print in the Hegner manual, I can find nothing in mine relating to the tension with regard to the knob on the top clamp. It is a misconception that the knob has to be tightened up to the blade clamp. This is wrong. I spoke to Christ in the technical...

Mark. I fully endorse everything you said with regard to craft fairs, displays and selling points. I to have just changed the layout of my tables. Like you I saw a display in a shop and more or less copied it making several wooden boxes of varying sizes with shelves here and there supported by...

Very impressive Mark. I like the add ons and I am sure you will sell a lot more. Being able to personalise them at the craft fairs is an added bonus and a sure way to increase sales. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I am thinking of trying the reindeer this year, got a pattern...
