Hi Dino Have you bought a scroll saw yet? I have finally saved enough money for a Hegner Multicut 1, which means my Rexon DTS16A is going spare. It is yours for what I paid for it - £50 - if you want it? It is a good little machine, a bit battered, but it does what it says on the tin. Rexon no...

Thanks for the tip about the Osmo Phil.p - it worked like a dream. I used the original in the end, rather than the raw, and it made the wood just a tiny shade darker. I have been looking for something to finish some coasters I have made and this will be perfect too. Thanks again, Jimi

Thanks, I'll check both of those out. Jimi

Hi all I know this is not quite the right forum for this question, but I know and trust people here. I have sanded my bathroom floorboards and really like the feel of the wood so don't really want to varnish it if I can help it. Does anyone know if waxing them would be a viable option, and if...

Hi all There is a Hegner Multicut on Gumtree in Salford for £120, Jimi

Hi all Here is a fantastic video explaining how to make name plates, etc using Inkscape. http://www.scrollsawgoodies.com/2014/06 ... Goodies%29 Jimi

Have you thought about selling on Etsy?

It has dropped down to £75 now! Jimi

Hi all Just a quick post - there is a Hegner on Gumtree for £120. Doesn't give much details, and is in somewhere called Burntisland. Jimi

There is something in what Gill says - a shopping centre in Leeds used to have plastic owls near the ceiling to keep out the pigeons...

I've seen this on etsy:

This might seem like an obvious suggestion, but have you tried contacting the person you bought the Hegner from, to ask how it got to be in that condition? Jimi.

Steve. I have the penguin pattern if you want to PM me your email address. I'd quite like a copy of the rabbit pattern if you get hold of one... Jimi

Martin, There is an easier way of doing it - make hearts of ever-decreasing sizes that fit into each other (like Russian dolls), then choose a node point to break apart the paths and join each to the next smallest one, making one continuous spiral path. Making the first heart (from which you...

Gill, I am still not entirely sure what you mean (I haven't had a go at cutting out anything that complicated myself), but I have had a play on Inkscape and created a flower head design with a spiral in the centre. If you PM me your email address, I will send you a pdf file. If that is the kind...

Hi Gill What do you mean when you say you would like to make the spirals fit shapes? Jimi

I feel very nervous mentioning this, what with all the talk of kicking and general computer angst, :) but I quite like Inkscape. I am a million miles away from being an expert, or even competent in it, but I use it for all my name templates. I find it much more useful than Word, with better...

These are fantastic! I am definitely going to have a go at making some, although I too tend to steer clear of MDF so will use ply. What type of glue did you use to glue on the cards? Jimi

Yes, I have the thin strips already so a hand mitre saw would be a cheaper alternative. I'll put it on my Christmas list. Thanks, Jimi

Baldhead Thanks for the video link - that looks amazing! I'll definitely look into that for other projects. Thanks, Jimi
