Thank you for the kind comments Brian. Much appreciated. I used a #3 reverse tooth blade and took my time. The candles, in particular, were challenging. The LEDs are either 10 or 20 LEDs per loom, I chose 20. They were €19.90 for 5 sets with free shipping within Germany. If you can't...

I recently bought a load of Schwibbogen Vorlagen (arches templates) from a guy on ebay.de and set about cutting some out to give as Christmas presents. I stack-cut 4 sheets of 1.5 mm ply and the result gave me 2 complete arches for each pattern I chose. Each pattern came in several sizes and...

Many thanks for the link, which is very useful as a good alternative source for blades (Laubsägeblätter in Germany). I couldn't find a price on the web site (but the informations was very useful). However, I found someone else who sells a similar range at a good price. They are in € and...

Whoops . . . hope its easily repairable.

Excellent, many thanks

Great looking sign that will be treasured, I'm sure. Nice robins and a great font. What was the name of the font you used?

Hello and welcome. You'll find a lot of experience here and if there is anything you want to know, someone should be able to help you. Its wonderful being able to make gifts for people, especially personalised gifts, and Steve Good's web site has loads of things to get you and keep you going...

Dreadful news and 'enjoy' the remaining time you have left with him.

You don't say which model you have so the answers you receive may be guesswork. You say the tension is "OK". When you connect the blade at the top have you pushed the arm (1) backwards to activate tension and does it 'ping' when you pluck the blade?? If the blades 'pings' then the tensioning...

That is just lovely Brian. An excellent piece of work, well done.

Excellent result Brian. It's a wonderful feeling to know that people like your work so much that they pay good money for it. Well done.

I know there are a few petrol heads on here so this is for you. In case you hadn't seen it, Toymaking Plans has a special offer on "Two Awesome Motorcycles" where you can buy both plans for $16.50 instead of the usual price of $29.90 (offer expires Monday 11th). The plans are downloadable as...

Very nice indeed, well done. If you like cutting that sort of thing (and who wouldn't) you should have a look at this chap's store http://stores.ebay.de/Bauplanstore?_trk ... 7675.l2563. Some are fixed prices but others are sold by auction. They come in various sizes and I picked up loads of...

You're very welcome ;-) Barry

1. Why are you wasting money paying over the odds for your blades? That link will sell you PG495 - 5RG (x gross) for £59 (with free shipping). Wooden Teddy Bear in the USA will sell you the same blades and same quantity for $57 (£40.10) which includes $12 (£8.44) shipping which makes the USA...

Ditto. I was a committed Olson scroller but after hearing rave reviews I also bought a load of FD blades in various sizes and styles - and still have most of them left apart from those that have snapped or show signs of rusting!! They didn't seem very sharp at all and snapped after only a short...

For most of my projects I use 1.5mm or 3mm plywood but I also use 3/4" pine or oak for a one-off pattern.

I couldn't say Malcolm but the description is very similar. BTW, this is the guy I bought my blades from.

Sorry Martin but in fact Niqua DO make the equivalent of the FD-UR blades. Its called the Niqua Top Cut and has every third tooth reversed. Niqua's description says "First class saw blade for delicately cutting of difficult work pieces; suitable for wood and plastic; hardened, every 3rd tooth...

Having bought a couple of bad batches of FD blades I personally wouldn't touch 'em again. However, if you wanted to try a few different Niqua blades Malcolm, send me your address (via a PM) and I'll send you a few to try. The Niqua factory is just up the road from me so I thought I'd give them...
