Hi. I have one of the SIP scroll saws. It works perfectly fine for me. it cost me £70 pound from cpc and has lasted me about 2 years so far. It cuts straight lines very well I have used it for alot of compound work without any problems. The only problems I have ever had with it was with...

Really impressive collection.

It was Dragon Timber in Pudsey

Im getting one from HPClaser which is a local-ish company to me. The laser itself is a LS3020 model which has an A4 size bed. Well after speaking to alot of timber merchants this morning I found that most of them talked to me like i was the stupid one yet they are the ones selling the...

Im going to ring all the timber merchants in leeds tomorrow and see what i can find out. I will let you know if i find anything useful out. I too will be getting a laser next week. Very exciting. I wish they had lasers at shcools when i was at them.

Thanks for your reply. I just read somewhere else that it burns less than exterior ply because that uses waterproof glue but i cant find anything that suggests it is different from interior ply.

Ok so i understand the grading system for plywood but cant seem to find a clear difference between laser plywood and interior plywood. I think it could have something to do with glue. Does anyone know if there is a big difference apart from obviously the price which is far higher or is there...

This was a design from the book The Art Of The Scroll Saw by Patrick Spielman. it was cut from pine spray painted and then varnished. My nephew plays in the school chess club so hopefully he will look after it. It took me about 4 months and alot of mistakes to get made but it was aloy of fun...

Here it is. My first chess set. This is going to be a present for my 8 year old nephew. Let me know what you think.

I like them as a pair too

I have just been to visit the workshop which i put in an earlier post and it looks really good so i will have access to a very large band saw table saw thicknessser etc. Im actually looking forward to making my own stock. The band saw was very large so i cant see myself having a problem...

Love it. Looks really good.

Exoctic timber does look quite promising . Thanks

That one looks promising thank you.

Just found this place http://www.fac4.co.uk/page17.htm looks good and it cost £45 a year and then £5 an hour to use.

Hmmm. I would actually rather use a hand plane than buy a machine i wont be happy with. I think i may have to save a little more and buy a better one. I know if i dont i will only be disapointed.

Hi RogerP Unfortunately I live in Leeds but thanks for the offer. Can I ask what machine you have and what you like/dilike about it. I really cant make my mind up on what to buy i have been looking at the Sip 8x4 thicknesser planer but i dont know if 8" is going to be wide enough for me...

Hi DaveyP. I was going to buy a band saw to resaw with but have been advised that i would be better off getting a thicknesser planer to make my own stock and then i save up and buy a band saw aswel. I was told that when you resaw on a band saw that the cuts can be a little wavey so not as...

Thank you for your reply. I am glad to hear that it is not just me that is faced with this really annoying problem. I have tried alot of different companies and found that even the places that can do this service are not really intrested in doing the small quatities that i would like. I work...

Thank you very much. I have been spray painting the chess set in the picture
