    First scroll saw

    Thanks for taking the time scrimper, always appreciate info from people who really know their stuff. I’m trying to find out if the second hand option I was looking at has variable speed

    First scroll saw

    Good to know I’m on the right lines scrimper, I’ll be taking a look at the website later. I have found a secondhand multicut 2 nearby that I’ll be taking a look at. Many thanks

    First scroll saw

    Evening all I’m not new to woodworking but I haven’t done any scroll sawing before, I’ve found a secondhand Hegner multi cut 2, I know Hegner’s have a good reputation but would this be a good one to get started on?

    Wild Cherry for timber?

    Thanks for the recommendation Brian, as you say always happy to get involved in milling up timber. I have messaged Jack so we’ll see what happens.

    Bent blade

    Was looking at the Ray Iles 01 blades on workshop heaven as well. They seem to present better value and are thinner than the aftermarket veritas option so should be better for retrofitting into an older plane.

    Bent blade

    I’ll take a closer look at the cap iron tomorrow. It works ok but I just don’t feel like it’s quite as good as when I first got it, I struggle to get full width shavings and the adjustment seems go from no shaving to quite a deep shaving with only small turn of the blade adjustment wheel. Had a...

    Bent blade

    Thanks for all the help guys. I’ve managed to get back up to the shed this evening to have a bit of a play this evening. I’ve taken everything apart and reset, checked the frog thoroughly and all seems fine. I’m pretty sure this is an issue with the blade and cap iron union, when I take the cap...

    Bent blade

    It works ok but I feel like it used to work a lot better hence my investigation into what was happening. Without the cap iron fitted the bend is negligible, but this bend in the iron seems to prevent it sitting completely flush on the frog which I would imagine isn’t great?

    Bent blade

    Evening all Can anyone tell me if this blade is beyond saving? I’ve measured the bow to be 1mm at its deepest point. I’m wandering if it’s worth looking at the veritas pmv replacement blade and accompanying cap iron? Those 2 combined come in around £100 and I’m not sure an old record smoother is...

    Milling ash logs

    I’ve cut them into 8ft lengths. I use a ladder for the first cut and this is the maximum length I can do.

    Milling ash logs

    Evening all Although I have milled ash logs using a chainsaw mill previously I am far from an expert. I have cross cut these sections to length and sealed them ready for cutting into planks but as you can see they’ve developed some mighty cracks, bigger than I’ve experienced previously. Can...

    What wood to use for Paul sellers workbench

    What other online woodworkers content, DVD’s, books would you recommend Tom? Someone here who has mostly followed Paul Sellers so far and had no clue how to even take a shaving with a hand plane a few years ago but who is always keen to improve.
