The Hegner 2S is the one most people buy, especially the variable speed model. It is probably the most accurate scroll saw on the market today. A lot of people have to improvise when they first start using a scroll saw and you are no exception. Using it on the dining room table could pose a...

Last week I was on my Facebook wood working page when an American guy popped up with a message, he said he was the happiest guy on the planet as he had just won the Facebook lottery, then he said what is more amazing is that my name was on the winners list, he even gave me the e-mail address of...

I had the opportunity to use the buffing machine again today. I had several customer orders to polish. I was very pleased with the way all the items came out. I used cellulose sander sealer on the wood first and then using 3 different compounds on the three seperate buffing wheels. I took...

The first time I tried the new polishing machine was a bit of a disaster. Like most people I hate reading instructions and to me it just appeared to be a matter of common sense. I had ten items waiting to be polished. I polished all ten in one go using the 3 applications of polishing compounds...

Thought I would let you all know I have had a refund from pay pay and have now ordered the real apple mouse from a well known dealer, paid a few quid more for peace of mind. I will know in future when I need something else. Thanks guys for your comments.

Last week I wrote a post on how I was deceived by an e-bay seller. I wanted to buy an Apple magic mouse for my new computer. You can pay over £60 for one. I found a few sellers on e-bay selling them for around the £39-£40 mark. The seller I selected stated there were 3 in stock and I could have...

Hi Alex. I have just got back from the sorting office. I was very fortunate that the chap I spoke to was very well informed on the subject and as i was the only customer gave me some details on how to avoid this sort of scam. He said that when I place my next order to ask the supplier to put in...

I ordered 4 gross of Flying Dutchman blades from the Wooden Teddy Bear Company nearly two weeks ago and the other day I was thinking that they were taking longer than normal to get here and this moring I got to see why. When the postman dropped the mail through the letter box there was a card...

Kfenelon. The event was the Cothi Bridge agriculture show, not far from Llandeilo. The cost of two 6ft tables was just £10 for the day, I was set up at 8am and started packing up at 5pm so a long day really. Yes, it was just the one day. I have another one at Carew next week and that's over two...

Dr Bob. Over many years I have attended hundreds of events, big ones and small ones. The event I referred to in my post was a big event attracting thousands of people and as takings go for such an event I was very disappointed at the end of the day. I can attend a much smaller event and take...

Dr Bob. You obviously have no conception of scroll saw products and you are very wrong with your views. I work with many other people who do the same thing as me and we are always updating our products to keep with with what the people want. None of my products are varnished, most are waxed...

I was looking on e-bay for a particular type of Apple mouse, found several at a good price. The dealer I chose stated 3 in stock and delivery by Thursday 30th July, I ordered it on the Monday previous. Thursday came and went, then yesterday I had an e-mail from e-bay saying it had been...

I shall be polishing a pile of stuff either tomorrow or Saturday Brian so I will take a few pics and post them here. I looked at one of those wonder wheels as well as I thought having a fur look on some animals I make like hedgehogs and squirrels would enhance the appearance but at the money...

For a long time now I have been looking at an alternative way of polishing the things I make and yesterday I had quite a long chat with a guy called Peter Hemsley, who runs the Tool Post, that mainly caters for the lathe user. Peter is the importer of the Beall polishing system from America. I...

Hi Alex. When i bought my Hegner I did a deal with them, which included the foot switch, I press down to start the saw and lift my foot off and the saw stops. I did have a spare foot switch but I was looking for it a few weeks back but failed to find it, you could have had that one. When buying...

Hi Brian. I sent you an e-mail earlier today but it went to the wrong Brian, I thought I had your e-mail address. Anyway. many thanks for the package, it arrived this morning along with another delivery that I will reveal later when I have got it bolted down.

Hi John. I have been on Facebook for a few years now both with a business page and a personel page. From the business side it has done me a lot of good. I get people asking if I can make a particular item for them and get regular orders for items displayed on the page. The only thing I did not...

I used to use one all the time when I was in the Merchant Navy for working out out speed, ETA and course work. Initially it was hard but I soon got used to it and after a while it only took seconds to work out calculations.I doubt if they are used now what with satellite navigation. but in the...

Well done, so pleased you have gone for the Hegner, you won't be disappointed, it does not have some of the features of the Excalibur but the Hegner makes up for it in many other ways. While you are waiting for Tuesday to come round, a nail biting time, pop out and get yourself a tin of 3 in 1...

Look up "Jewellery findings," this will bring up a whole range of things that that jewellery makers buy. also type in key chains. I buy a lot of key chains and typing that in will bring all manner of chains up, especially on e-bay.
