Wow . . . astonishing for a first attempt.Mind you,you do have a good saw ;-) I think my first attempt was an Easter bunny out of B&Q pine. No inside cuts, just the outline. I felt pretty chuffed with it so I'm sure you must be over the moon. Very well done and good luck with the rest of...

I would suggest :- Big Book Of Scroll Saw Woodworking Scroll Saw Workbook - Nelson (great starter book) Shop Tested Scrollsaw Techniques 3D Scroll Saw Patterns and Techniques - Henry Berns 3D Patterns for the Scroll Saw - Diana Thompson

Yeah not too far away. We're closer to the Mosel (20 minutes) than the Rhine and are about 15 minutes away from Kastellaun :wink: I got the chalet in the '20% off everything' New Year sale at Globus Baumarkt. My apologies also for the thread drift :oops:

Nice plaque Geoff and good answer.

Thanks Pete, much appreciated. My first attempt at cutting words and it was more difficult than I thought it would be. Tear-out is a major problem and several of the letters could only be cut in one direction.

Sounds as though you'll be watching the calendar too Penny. It'll be good to spread your tools out a bit and with the insulation you should get much more use out of it. I hope it all goes well. Barry

Ve have vays of changing their mindz :wink: Can't have family and friends staying too long I'd never get out there.

A lot depends upon the end result and what you are cutting. If it's painted bunnies for Easter then cheap pine would be fine but if you want to cut a portrait or make a clock then a nice tight grained hardwood like oak would be good. I made a set of Shelia Landry plaques for my...

As we've broadened the thread to workshops in general, can I just say that since we moved to Germany last October I haven't had a workshop :( But the good news is that I'll be getting one soon. I chose the one I wanted and got the thumbs-up from the financial director of the family and got...

. . . and the pouch will come in handy for carrying your nails and screws!!

Love my Hegner. Have fun with yours and many happy years to come. GO ORANGE \:D/

Ouch . . . that sounds painful Pete. Lucky it wasn't your scrolling hand ;-)

=D> nowhere better and I see you have the right currency from Wilco :wink:

Astonishing attention to detail . . . d'ya do house calls?

=D> :mrgreen:

Good job Pete. You've done a brilliant job there and have every right to be pleased with the result. Forget the scrolling matey, get yourself hired out as a workshop architect. Buy a nice white van and duster and bring old dowdy workshops back to life. Make a bomb ;-) Barry

Very good collection Gill. Interesting designs, very well cut and a lovely 'warm' finish. Well done.

Do you live in the flat next door then :roll: You could pick up some nice oak or beech if you wanted a lighter wood. Or maybe some mahogany if she wanted something a bit darker and richer looking. Unless the sign is going to be fairly long like "This is my garden and my husband is banned...

Good tip Col. Gill, also keep an eye out at Lidl and Aldi who also sell this tape on a regular basis.

I've bought from Slec and Hobarts https://hobarts.com/sheet-materials/woo ... 124_15_56/ Hobarts have very fast shipping and the quality is excellent. Their minimum shipping is about £12 but you can buy quite a few sheets before it increases to the next price band so make sure you order a...
