thanks Silversam in total about 7 hours work , still not totally finished I recon 2 more hours should see it done, - all this work has been done on my axminster trade ex 30, it is so easy to use and blade changing is a doddle, on my old record power I would have hardly got started - then I can get back to finishing off the colt 45 , then I am also going to start on a picture of 5 horses ,a pattern I got from the site by a person called "birchbark " " scroll saw village " , hopefully ,soon if the horse will co-operate I will get a photo of a shire mare that's in a field by me, and I will attempt to turn it into a pattern never done that before, got to keep expanding ones horizons, and I am going to start early for next Christmas and start to make some various sized reindeer's, on scroll saw and band saw . All of this depends on the weather my garage is not heated and I aint freezing for no one.
take care
John
