. . . . well, me actually :oops: I finally decided what to make for my brother in law's 70th birthday in the Autumn . . . . and will be giving it to him tomorrow (hammer) I know, I know, I should put it in the cupboard and wait six months but my mum has been in hospital and my sister...

Hi William, A big welcome along to the forum. Feel free to post any questions, WIP and pictures of your results. I'm not familiar with the Rexon but from what you are saying it sounds as though the top part of the arm is going down and the bottom part of the arm isn't moving with the net...

Many thanks for that John. Whoah, that sounds beyond making a few toys for charity and the Cat's Action Trust. I'm not going in for full scale manufacturing :shock: :wink:

Is that child safe John?

Some great ideas there - thank you very much. I must have a go at one or two of those and let you know how I get on. Many thanks again . . . although I'll never get around to liking painting.

OK all you vehicle makes . . . how do you paint your wheels? I have a load to paint and am struggling to get a decent finish and am getting more on my hands than on the wheels. They are 2" in diameter and I hold them by my finger and thumb then thread them on to some dowel so I can paint the...

Congratulation and well done on your purchase Doug. I'm sure you'll be very pleased with it. Welcome along to Team Hegner

The only 'blobs' that I can see Gill look like the holes you drilled to feed the blade through. If they are, they seem very big compared to the size of blade you appear to have used. It's not so bad if you're taking out a small insert but if it's only a line (which appears to be the case) try...

Great results Gill. I like it. Well done.

Sorry but I'm with Scrimper on this one and it's +1 for the variable speed version. Even though it is run most of the time near full speed I do find for delicate stuff that turning down the speed allows me to make some quick turns without the blade getting away from me. The thing is gonna last...

Yes indeed Bryan. Thanks again for the head's-up.

Thanks for the additional information John, very useful. I thought the angle would have taken ages but you seem to have gotten that down to a good time.

I hope the joke was funnier than the explanation Martin. Didn't get that either . . . . I must have a leak in the solvent can in the workshop :shock:

You'll have a job to evict her now Bob. She seems well settled in.

WHOAH . . . big ten WHOAH toesy. You have produced a fabulous box and doesn't that Danish oil make the grain pop. A really fabulous piece of work crafted to a very high standard indeed. A very well done matey =D> =D> =D>

I think the nature of spiral blades is that they travel in any direction and are therefore a tad unstable in straight lines as they have no directional stability. They also tend to follow the grain a bit easier than across the grain. To get straight lines, why not try the spiral blade to do...

They must take ages to cut and finish John and I'm assuming would sell for a fairly high price? Are you taking lots with you? The mass-produced-stack-cut stuff will probably give a better return? I'm determined to 'do a craft show' in the future but am concerned at selling out by 10:30...

Not at all, any contribution gratefully accepted. It's just that I don't think I'm gonna find anything better because it 'IS' her Thanks Martin

Thanks Martin. That second link is brilliant although I think I'm gonna cut the Sue Mey one I've bought (the second one from that link with the green background) as it's 'Millie' to a tea. Thanks for the head's up though - much appreciated.

I've had a good trawl around her site Bryan and have just bought 8 patterns!! Including a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel which looks exactly like my brother in law's dog. You'd think the plan had been made from a picture of her. I showed my wife the plan and she shouted "Millie, how brilliant...
