What make of blade? If you’re getting a good ‘ping’ the tension sounds okay. Cutting 6mm ply shouldn’t be a problem either. I’ve cut 25mm hardwood without issue if you take your time. Are you overly pushing the ply through instead of letting the blade dictate the pace?

Be a pity to fire a 12 bore at it after spending all that time making it!!!!!!

Good honest answer Alex. Thank you. I know its difficult talking in a language other than your own. I live in Germany but cannot speak much German so use Google translate a lot. Hopefully, if anyone has any questions for you, you will be able to give them a reply. Thanks Alex Barry

It's a great pity we only hear from you when you want to sell a new pattern Alex. Fair play if you can get away with using the forum as an outlet for your website sales. You are a very talented designer and scroll saw artist and I wish you would contribute more to help others. We have some...

Oh BTW Brian. How rude of me. The projects are brilliant and would outstanding on anyone's walls. I know you make a lot for charity but I guess you're a tad short of wall space these days? Barry

Funnily enough Andy, when I explain what a scroll saw is to my neighbours (who usually get scroll sawn gifts) I say its like a sewing machine but cuts things apart instead of joining things together. This is usually accompanied are frantic hand movements to illustrate the point. I usually get a...

Concrete or wooden floor? If variable speed, is it the same at all speeds? Is it brand new and has been like it from new or did it used to be ok but has happened since moving to new location? We'll need more info before we can help. Welcome to the forum, by the way. Barry

Alex. That is a gorgeous looking portrait. Really attractive. Well done. Barry

Excellent Phill. Well up to your usual high standards. How do you guys find so much time to work in your workshops? I haven't had time to get out to the workshop for weeks and I got lots of Christmas presents to make. Since I retired I have less spare time than when I was working!! So...

I hate painting too but you disguise it so well :wink: I'd never get my painting to look that good. Barry

Excellent cutting Alex and a lovely finish. Barry

Excellent work Alex and a big welcome to the forum. It will be a pleasure seeing some of your work. Lovely. Barry

One has to earn a buck where one can :shock: :D

When we moved into our house in Germany I had my blockhous delivered and was fortunate to find some large carpets rolled up in the garage. The carpet dampens out the sound a treat and helps insulate it.

Ah. That was taken when I'd just finished kitting it out Naz. It's much dustier now. As for the 'friggin' Persian rug', doesn't everyone have one?

Funny man. My apology was to Ali for talking about fridges and beer instead of sitting down/standing up. Not for drinking and scrolling!!!

That wasn't an apology

I'm not sure if any of you follow Steve Ramsey's (Woodworking for Mere Mortals) exploits on YouTube, but some time ago he posted a lovely tribute to Norm Abram's New Yankee Workshop which PBS has been taken off air after 21 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMbzyDZ ... Q&index=28
