Blimey that's a lot cheaper. Good link Martin. I wish I'd seen those before as I could have saved a few quid. "Got suction". Where does it suck to Martin? Does it go into a big bag under your bench? Pity we couldn't plug into the other side of the bellows so it sucked instead of blew...

I've got one of the older Hegner scroll saws that uses a transparent plastic tube to blow away the dust. The trouble is that it's blowing the dust straight at me, is not very accurate and gives me very cold hands. So, I did a search on the internet to see if I could retro-fit a good dust...

Hmmm, interesting, thank you. I assume it would be quite brittle and might crumble a bit on tight turns? Look luck finding the scriber. Talking of getting side-tracked, I decided to open my thicknesser dust extraction to see if there was anything in there worth emptying. It was so packed...

Bobble hat please Martin :twisted: Slate - hmmm, interesting choice of material Martin. What sort of blade would you cut the roof tile thickness with?

Hi Keith, Steve Good has some free software for designing names http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/ it's about 1/2 way down the page. You could use any word processing package to type a name then transfer it to paper. I think toesy uses one of the Serif packages. Some time ago I got...

Great looking work Gill and very well cut. They will be thrilled to receive them I'm sure. Barry

Very good article Geoff. There is a lot in there for beginners and experienced users alike. Well done.

Now that's a bike and the best yet.

Having had a similar experience with 3/4" oak, the only solution I found was to hold down the piece harder to take out the slapping and 'just' allow it to turn but I was mighty pleased to have finished it. I kept catching my fingers under the piece as it violently slapped the table. Not a...

As you've not had any other suggestions yet did you decide what to make?

Great effort and very attractive, well done. That oak looks gorgeous and is my favourite wood by a loooooong way.

Good for you Mark. I hope you'll be very happy with it. I think most of us start out with scrolling as a part time hobby but once you start seeing the things you can turn out it quickly becomes the main hobby. Good luck and don't forget to post some pictures of your work. Barry

Very nice Martin, and thanks for posting the pattern ;-)

What a shame Gill. Sounds as though the organizers could do with organizing. Which bright spark suddenly realised it clashed with Mother's Day? I'm glad you've taken it on the chin and good luck with the next one ;-) Barry

You could do a lot worse than some Christmas Tree hangers, window hangers or maybe a sign? Have a look at Steve Good's web site http://stevedgo.ipower.com/cat/ lots of ideas and they're free. They are so good that a donation would be appreciated. Barry P.S. If after that you can't think...

Before you start buying blades Mark you ought to familiarize yourself as to which type of blade cuts what. I personally prefer reverse tooth blades which means that all the teeth point in one direct except for the last few which point in the opposite direction. The advantage of this is that...

Nice stylised effort Martin. Like your bikes then?

Hi Mark and welcome to the scroll saws forum. There isn't a lot I can add to the excellent advice that you've been given already. However, I can recommend a book which you may find very useful as you are starting out in the wonderful world of scroll sawing and that's John Nelson's Scroll Saw...

Oh, my mistake. sorry.

Lovely piece of cutting toesy, as usual.
